The law is crystal clear: Federal officials sending troops or armed men, like ICE agents, to the polls is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. And every state outlaws voting intimidation. Learn more from my colleague @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social:  www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

President Trump can’t preempt state AI regulations through an executive order. The Constitution doesn’t give him this power, nor has Congress delegated it. But at the behest of tech investor allies he tried, creating uncertainty for the many states with AI policies. www.npr.org/2025/12/11/n...

Trump is trying to preempt state AI laws via an executive order. It may not be legal

Congress may soon pass a moratorium on state regulation of Artificial Intelligence. The Brennan Center has found that the proposed moratorium could nullify at least 149 state laws passed in 41 states. 86 of these laws (58 percent) were enacted by states with Republican controlled legislatures. /1

My heart goes out to the families impacted by the tragedy in Minnesota. Political violence is unacceptable, and it damages our democracy.
