NEWS: The Senate has removed AI moratorium from the reconciliation bill in a whopping 99-1 vote. Deals a massive blow to the effort to make this happen in the GOP package
#AbsolutelyRight
The AI challenge is a moral one as much as anything. Are we going to protect individual rights and the working person, or are we going to allow the big corporations to run roughshod over the little guy and take whatever they want? We need to protect We the People

National Treasurer indeed @MarshaBlackburn
If true, @MarshaBlackburn is a NATIONAL TREASURE and #shero of historic import. @NCOSE @Heritage @NAACP @NCSLorg @twestes @joellthayer @AngelaPaxtonTX @RepSchlegel @brandonguffeysc
Our kid’s voices roared, they were heard and those kiddos won!! #annaleeforever18. Thank you zamaan 🇺🇸♥️
Today states like CA, TN, CO, UT can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their state laws are protected And 40+ AGs suing Meta And 14 AGs suing TikTok And AGs suing Snap And school districts suing Big Tech And the hundreds of parents battling for justice for their late children
**Thank You for Standing Up for Our Kids-We Made History!** I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone in my/Annalee’s circle who rallied together to stop the amendment in the (big beautiful bill) that threatened to paralyze protections against Big Tech. Our kids'…


This is how you take on big tech! Thank you Senator @MarshaBlackburn for your leadership! Let's remove this provision added by Congress to deny states’ rights to defend our citizens and pass President @realDonaldTrump’s One Big Beautiful Bill!
Boom. New Blackburn amendment with Cantwell to strip Cruz 10 year AI moratorium.

**Thank You, Senator Marcia Blackburn !**#senmarciablackburn I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Senator Marcia Blackburn for her unwavering commitment to protecting our children from online harms. Taking a stance today to not buckle to big tech is what…

Last night, Republicans agreed to a so-called compromise on the AI moratorium. Don’t be fooled: This is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and it will devastate state attempts to protect children online. That’s why I filed an amendment with @SenatorCantwell to strip this provision
We need you now more than ever to stand behind your statement. @hawleymo “There is no way I’m going to sit back and say to the working people of my state and this country, we’re just going to let AI come for you.” - @HawleyMO comes out HARD against the AI law moratorium.

.@SenatorCantwell + @SenMarkey have filed an amendment to remove the AI language from the legislation. Could get a vote later today.
In the next 24 hours, the Senate will vote on a dangerous 5-year ban on state #AI protections. It’s a dream for AI companies, but a nightmare for families. Please contact your senators TODAY to urge them to vote against this ban: p2a.co/r1Jylk8
Last week, the Supreme Court finally reversed a generation of bad law and opened the doors to keep kids safe online. Three days later, Congress is at risk of undoing that giant step and threatening states' ability to regulate not just AI threats, but algorithms generally.
Today I sent a letter to Senators @tedcruz & @JohnCornyn calling on them to remove the AI moratorium provision from the “One Big Beautiful Bill”. Read my full letter below 👇 #txlege #OBBB
Over 130 orgs agree; We cannot afford to tie the hands of our local legislators to regulate AI for any duration of time.
Even with changes, the bill would block laws like Tennessee’s ELVIS Act, which protects people from AI impersonation. States that accept broadband funding could be forced to give up key legal protections. That’s not a real choice. (2/3)
We’ve joined 130+ orgs — including @NAACP and @ncypalliance — calling on Congress to reject the latest AI moratorium. The “compromise” still strips states of their power to protect kids, consumers, and communities from harmful AI. 🧵(1/3)
Parents and kids deserve better. Far too many members of Congress have heard our stories over and over. They know the dangers of unregulated big tech. Do not add more protections for social media platforms that are killing kids. Remove the AI moratorium from the BILL. #hawleymo…
I lost my son to TikTok’s algorithm after he was inundated with pro suicide content. Enough is enough, we need protections and limiting states rights is a horrible decision. Remove the AI moratorium from the “Big Beautiful Bill”!
