Anna Paulina Luna has become one of the most recognizable members of the new generation in Congress. The U.S. Representative for Florida's 13th Congressional District — and a U.S. Air Force veteran — joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour for a conversation that starts with the future of warfare and widens from there.
Drone threats anchor the episode: kamikaze drones, the technology reshaping modern conflict, and the sightings that pushed the topic into American headlines. From there, Luna walks through the issues she has been pressing in Washington — FDA regulation, the Department of Education, federal agencies and Big Tech, and what real accountability should look like.
