After leading the effort to strip the state AI law moratorium from the Big Beautiful Bill, Sen. Marsha Blackburn says that until Congress passes bills like her Kids Online Safety Act "states have every right to take action to protect their residents." Thank you, Sen. Blackburn! #PassKOSA

😱 A sneaky provision in the “Big Beautiful Bill” would ban states from passing & enforcing their own laws to regulate AI for 10 years. It would also prevent states from enforcing laws already on the books! This is UNACCEPTABLE! Join us & tell Congress not to ban state AI laws: bit.ly/AIstatelaws
