      Marsha Comcast is one of the low-key GOP fuckheads selling the country out to the oligarchs 

      Fucking Tennessee

      Marsha hates technology, unless it enriches her. She has a long history.

      Unfortunately, it would seem her constituents aren’t very enlightened and continue to reelect her.

      Hopefully she wins the gubernatorial race in Tennessee in 2026. 🤞🤞🤞 She is the definition of why we need new, younger people that understand tech and won’t push or support these laws. Oh, and Vance as a senator supported KOSA.

      Remember this shit at the polls….PLEASE 

      Sincerely, a fellow TN who watches her state blindly vote red

      These are the kinds of people that saw all of the awful shit unregulated social media has wrought and think to themselves, “What if we could do it all over again, but *one hundred times worse*?”

      Even *with* this bill having Trump’s name on it, it’s DOA imo.

      First, bills like hers have to be submitted to the Energy & Commerce Committee. This committee is headed by Ted Cruz. Why is this important? In the bill are several provisions to regulate AI. Cruz hates both AI regulation and Blackburn, who screwed him over earlier this year during the BBB fiasco. This bill is an AI regulation bill written by Marsha Blackburn. On that alone, this thing is toast. But there’s more.

      Second, having Trump’s name on it makes it political kryptonite to Democrats even if they agree with the provisions in the bill. This means it will inevitably run into the filibuster.

      Third, bills have to also be unanimously approved in the Senate to be discussed on the floor. There’s at least one Senator who will refuse: Ron Wyden of Oregon, who *wrote Section 230*. Wyden is also the reason bills like Sunset 230 have faltered in the past.

      Lastly, this Congress is extremely slow. Even with Trump personally pressuring them to pass the BBB, it still took nearly a year of work to get the thing to a semi-workable state. Besides that, they haven’t passed many bills at all thanks to constant vacations and threats of shutdown.

      So in short, remain calm and contact your Representatives/Senators. There’s a lot of things to be concerned about, but I wouldn’t make this too much of a priority.
