Senator Maria Cantwell urged President Trump to increase, not cut, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) budget. Following devastating Texas floods, Cantwell proposed a plan to modernize weather forecasting infrastructure, including new satellites, radars, and alert systems, aiming for superior accuracy compared to European systems. This counters Trump's proposed $1.7 billion (27%) NOAA budget cut. While the letter omits climate change, Cantwell emphasizes creating a world-leading weather system, a view shared by many senators, although the administration may pursue alternative funding restrictions.

A powerful coalition of federal legislators, executive branch officials, and multinational technology corporations has coalesced around a strategy of "federal preemption," seeking to strip state governments of their authority over generative AI. The coalition argues that the legal frameworks governing these technologies are in a state of flux as generative AI affects every sector of the economy, from healthcare diagnostics to creative industries. The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
