A few months ago they tried to sneak a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulation into the “Big Beautiful Bill” — massive backlash forced them to pull it.
Now it’s back, quietly buried inside the must-pass NDAA defense bill.
And if Congress strips it out again? A just-leaked draft executive order reveals President Trump is prepared to unleash the Department of Justice on any state that tries to regulate AI on its own. The plan: empower the Attorney General to sue governors (yes, even Republicans like Ron DeSantis) who don’t toe the White House line on AI.
Over 1,000 state and local AI bills could be crushed overnight — all while Big Tech lobbyists cheer from the sidelines.
This isn’t about protecting innovation. This is the biggest federal power grab over AI we’ve ever seen.
