Thank you Bruce Springsteen for “Streets of Minneapolis,” a powerful tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti and to the strength of the people of Minnesota.
During a typical snowstorm of six to 12 inches, @HoCoGov aims to have the entire road system cleared within 12 to 18 hours after the storm ends. You can track Highways' progress via the County's Snow Plow Tracker website at citizeninsights.geotab.com/#…
Trump's EO seeking to preempt state laws protecting Americans from AI is a desperate overreach of the executive branch following two failures to do the same thing in Congress. 50 legislators from 26 states, opposing this Executive Order signed this letter opposing it.
SNAP- Shutdown Emergency Hub just launched by the Food System Resiliency Council @MDMEMA @HoCoCAC Please share.

Exactly why hiring practices with AI should have an opt-out.

🔥 100% agree. This is a huge win for kids’ safety, consumer protection & state rights. The bipartisan coalition that defeated the moratorium was unlikely & inspiring. Grateful for state legislators, @NCSLorg, @americans4ri, and all 99 who stood with us. 💪 #AIMoratoriumRemoved

Right now in Maryland, there's a mom whose son relies on lifesaving chemotherapy treatments. She told me that if he loses access to his health insurance, it would be a "death sentence."
If this bill passes, people will die.
Keep calling. Keep fighting. We must stop this bill.

Six senators who may shape our destiny, TODAY:
Marshall, Hawley, Cornyn, Curtis, Collins and Murkowski.
It’s up to how they vote today for whether states will be able to regulate AI in their own borders.
With Congress refusing to step up, statewise regulation is our only hope to have any protection against the increasingly reckless and avaricious big tech companies.
If you have any contacts with any of the above senators, please reach out, now.
Tomorrow may be too late.
The latest AI-Moratorium amendment GUTS protections under the guise of compromise.
❌ Cuts state's rights for 5 yrs
❌ Undermines CSAM & artist laws with vague “undue burden” test
❌ Triggers lawsuits

The Senate is moving to include a 10-year ban on states regulating AI in its federal spending bill — opening the door for AI harms in employment, credit, and housing. Tell them it has to go: action.aclu.org/send-message…
The majority of American voters oppose the AI moratorium by a margin of 3 to 1. ifstudies.org/blog/americans…
