A Donald Trump-backed push has failed to wedge a federal measure that would block states from passing AI laws for a decade into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters Tuesday that a sect of Republicans is now "looking at other places" to potentially pass the measure. Other Republicans opposed including the AI preemption in the defense bill, The Hill reported, joining critics who see value in allowing states to quickly regulate AI risks as they arise.

It's doubtful, however, it will be implemented. I don't see Republicans, especially in the House, going along with this. It just doesn't work for the financial controls that the House wants to have on big spending. She continued: It's just a way of him talking. Again, it's something for him to throw out there, because he knows that the issue of the expiring subsidies for the Affordable Care Act is coming and very soon and it's having a negative effect on Republicans.

Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation | YouTube screenshot Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts - the lead architect of Project 2025, the blueprint for Trump's second presidency - admitted to his organization on Wednesday that he made a mistake in calling neo-Nazi commentator Nick Fuentes a "friend" of Republicans and criticizing those who opposed Fuentes' recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson as a "venomous coalition."

Time didn't start yesterday. Conservative principles didn't just start being challenged in the last 8 years. The threat has been omnipresent. It may not have seemed as dire to some because that man was standing his post when the rest of us were not. You know why the First Amendment became a litmus test in Republican politics and in the judiciary? It was owned by the Left until McConnell started grilling every candidate, newly elected official, or prospective judge about it.

Lawler, who represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which covers Rockland and Putnam counties and parts of Westchester and Dutchess counties along the lower Hudson Valley, and chairs the Rockland County Republican Party, uploaded the statement to his reelection campaign's page on October 2. He opened it with a sweeping appeal to those who value freedom and civility, describing a nation that has "lost sight of a simple truth - we are all Americans, yes, but we are all human beings, created in God's image."

Vance - who has credited Kirk with helping him land the vice presidential nomination last year - accompanied Kirk's widow, Erika, on Air Force Two to take the conservative activist's remains to the Kirks' hometown of Phoenix. A few days later the vice president guest-hosted Kirk's podcast, during which he and several Trump administration officials praised Kirk. Vance and Trump Jr. also spoke at Kirk's memorial service.

WSJ obtained a summary of the poll that read, Our recent national survey of voters shows that there is broad unity across party lines supporting vaccines such as measles (MMR), shingles, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (TDAP), and hepatitis B. The report concluded that the results were in line with what numerous other surveys have shown: A majority of the public, including both Democrats and Republicans, remain broadly supportive of requiring that children be vaccinated against preventable diseases to attend school.

It's delusional in the extreme to think that investors, even in magical-thinking Silicon Valley, would be willing to put money into a project with absolutely no possibility of being profitable. Public projects are for public benefit, not profits. The central question respecting the high-speed rail now is whether, short of making all the money in the world available to build it, it can be built at all in the current century.

I care most about the policy here, not the politics of it. But politically, it's really bad for Republicans. They should just have this vote and put it behind them. Eighty percent of Republicans, it's not just independents and Democrats who want these files released, 80% of Republicans support releasing these files. So, they're at odds with our base right now, and particularly the MAGA base.
