While a vote wouldn't happen until after Labor Day, the push highlights tensions between Trump loyalists seeking transparency and the House leadership.

Tech Coalition Pushes Federal Preemption

Tap title to read story

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.
