Then-commissioner Pai went on a press junket when the FCC was simply asking QUESTIONS of newsrooms about how they chose their stories, to better understand how they operate.

Now the FCC IS the newsroom.

Very honored to be receiving @publicknowledge.bsky.social's Internet Protocol IP3 Award this year. Alli can think about are all the shoulders I've stood on to make change and rested my head on when I needed help.

These are incredible. I forgot how good this show was.

DOGS DO NOT BELONG IN RESTAURANTS

tweet from Diego Areas Munhoz saying Senate removed AI moratorium from reconciliation package, 99-1 vote.

Not a bad thing to wake up to

#AIMoratorium: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!

HERE’S WHERE WE ARE WITH THE AI MORATORIUM:

They put the amendment in.
They took the amendment out.
They put the amendment in and they shook it all about.
They did the Hokey Pokey and they turned themselves around.
That’s what the Senate’s all about.

yup, it's one line. "Strike Section 40012"

HR1 is the House-passed version.

Amendment 2360 is the amendment to the House version the Senate is working from (which is why, on the site I linked, there are 220+ proposed amendments).

Blackburn's new amendment is 2814 (not on congress.gov yet).

I THINK amendment 2360 is the amendment to HR1 everyone is seeking to amend, and that's here: www.congress.gov/amendment/11... (ctrl-f 40012, that's the current version of the moratorium in the bill)

It could’ve had a much worse name!

ok it's happening! Blackburn and Collins join Markey and Cantwell to strip AI moratorium from budget bill!

or yes?

or not

no, it means she might either cosponsor or vote for the amendment to strip the provision from the bill (currently being offered by cantwell/markey)

ok so apparently after all that, there is actually no #AIMoratorium deal w/ Blackburn/Cruz?

It's time for Congress to give up on the #AIMoratorium, the Senate has had enough tries. And their latest version is worse than their prior versions.

CDT statement:

Cruz stating his revised AI moratorium is "very simple"

I can tell you from experience, if an elected official is telling you legislation they have a strong interest in passing is "very simple," they're taking you for a ride.

Also, this is further proof the moratorium was never about the budget. It's always been a policy preference foisted on states, and the Senate tacked it onto BEAD (broadband infrastructure) money that states desperately need and have already been given and may now lose.

Commerce Sec claiming the AI moratorium "creat[es] a single national standard on AI"

Perhaps the most disingenuous #AIMoratorium take I've read. I guess by "creating a single national standard" he means creating *no* standard whatsoever? The standard is lawlessness.

let's bring back zomg

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

I used to teach law students and often made this point to them. “It’s okay to be wrong. Learn from it.” A surprising number of people are incapable of admitting fault.

we actually moved despite *knowing* we'd be less effective.

This is not just revisionist history, it's ignorant of reality. Activists didn't leave Twitter because they "thought they would be more effective" somewhere else, they left because Elon made it clear that he would *deliberately undermine their influence."

Why make shit up?

Tragic. I love Mario kart chaos mode!
