Hey Minnesota won and the nudification technology ban will go into effect tomorrow at 12:00AM!
I’m honestly surprised Elon Musk’s attorneys had to file a lawsuit in Minnesota yesterday because also yesterday, Musk’s company had THREE separate lawsuits filed against it for allegedly creating child sexual abuse material and committing image-based sexual violence.
Elon Musk is suing to block my law that bans nudificafion technology. It’s time to Rein in Big Tech. secure.actblue.com/donate/rein-... #ReinInBigTech #nudification #mnleg
I don’t know who these people are —or who this person is — and I don’t care (as in please don’t explain to me who it is, I don’t care) but absolutely unconscionable to compare my colleague Senator Fateh to Platner. You can dislike people and their politics, but this is beyond the pale.
What could go wrong, AI totally knows how to spell December correctly
I banned AI deepfakes from being used to influence elections *three years* ago. Elections are already hard enough, we shouldn’t inject AI deepfakes into our democracy.
Big Tech is planning to spend over $100 million trying to unseat state legislators who have sought to regulate AI. Well, that’s me 🙋🏽♀️ Donate today so Big Tech can’t use their money to drown out the many Link —> secure.actblue.com/donate/campa...
After creating the most corrupt government in American history — that’s literally taking money out of our pockets — this fucking guy thinks we have $250??
Memorial Day 🧵 Today, we honor the service members who gave more than should ever be asked of anyone. We owe a debt we can never fully repay to those who never made it home, and to the families who carry that loss long after the battles ended.
🧵 Bills I passed into law in 2026 Episode 1: AI and health insurance denials
Today, I offered an amendment to the Energy Omnibus bill that would institute a statewide moratorium on data centers until we can better understand their impact on our communities.
Just to be clear: Virginia voters approved their state legislature changing the maps and a court struck it down yet Tennessee is free to bring back Jim Crow maps? Cool
SF 4696 doesn’t require age verification, it requires age estimation — technology social media companies *already use* to target us with ads
Why does media keep covering this as if we don’t know whether Israel bombing Lebanon is a violation of the ceasefire or not?
I’m exhaling — thank God (truly) for TACO Tuesday. I do have a question about this part, though. Is it only a two week ceasefire if the strait of Hormuz is opened? Did Iran agree to that?
Walter Hudson should voluntarily surrender his permit to carry for breaking the law. More on the official consequences Hudson and Engen should face for misconduct on the job.
I wouldn’t had a Kleenex to these fucking randos, let alone my passport
