Harris,
A ten-year ban on state-level protections against artificial intelligence is being quietly pushed through under the radar inside Trump's budget. If passed, every single state will be barred from acting against AI abuse in elections, employment, housing, and healthcare. Not for a year. Not for five. For a full decade.
This is Big Tech writing the rules for itself and paying politicians to look the other way. When more than twenty states passed laws to protect voters from AI-generated lies in elections, Silicon Valley took notice. When local leaders began banning algorithmic discrimination in hiring and medicine, the billionaires got nervous. So they turned to Trump and his Republican House allies to gut those victories with one sweep of federal law.
Make no mistake. This is not regulation. This is surrender. This is Congress telling every state to sit down, shut up, and let the richest tech companies in the world experiment on our democracy without consequences. It is a corporate immunity plan disguised as a budget. And if we do not stop it, it will become law for the next ten years.
The Senate already knows this provision is toxic. That is why activists forced them to water it down. But they left the door open. Now we need to slam it shut. No compromise. No secret deals.
We need to raise hell before they cut this deal in the dark and let Big Tech write all of the rules. Tell the Senate to REJECT Trump's budget bill now.
If this passes, states will lose the power to fight AI deepfakes during elections. They will be blocked from stopping health insurance companies from using AI to deny care. Local communities will be banned from outlawing AI-driven bias in housing or jobs.
The tools we are using to protect ourselves from this unregulated technology will be stripped away.
This is a full-scale assault on democracy. It silences the one level of government still capable of holding tech companies accountable. Congress has failed again and again to pass real AI oversight. So the states stepped up. Now they are being shut down so Big Tech can operate in total darkness.
When companies cannot win in state legislatures, they go to Washington to ban state laws outright. That is what this budget does. And if it passes, this strategy will be used again and again.
We are not going to let that happen. Not without a fight. Every senator needs to hear from you now. Tell them to kill any final budget deal that blocks states from protecting people from AI abuse.
Let's keep fighting to make sure that the era of blank checks for billionaires is over.
