Ah?
Wasn’t/Isn’t Republicans the guys that faught and believe in ‘States Rights’ vs the Federal Government?
The White House is preparing to issue an executive order as soon as Friday that enlists the power of the federal government to block states from regulating artificial intelligence, according to four people familiar with the matter and a leaked draft of the order obtained by POLITICO.
The draft document, confirmed as authentic by three people familiar with the matter, would launch several efforts to challenge state AI laws — including an “AI Litigation Task Force” run by the Department of Justice.
The order plays into a contentious national debate over whether Washington or state capitals should set the direction of national AI policy. The industry and its Republican supporters argue that existing and future state laws on AI could lead to a conflicting “patchwork” that slows innovation.
A congressional effort to block state AI laws as part of the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act collapsed this summer amid Republican infighting.
This week, the prospect of an AI moratorium surfaced again in Congress — possibly incorporated into the year-end annual defense bill. President Donald Trump threw his weight behind the legislative effort in a post on Tuesday.
The executive order would be a different approach, deploying the muscle of several federal agencies to quash state AI regulations.
Government lawyers would be directed to challenge state laws on the grounds that they unconstitutionally regulate interstate commerce, are preempted by existing federal regulations or otherwise at the attorney general’s discretion.
The task force would consult with administration officials, including the special adviser for AI and crypto — a role currently occupied by investor David Sacks — to determine which state AI laws would be worth challenging, according to the document.
It is possible that the final order could look different, or that the White House could ultimately decide against its release. Reached for comment, a White House official said that until an executive order is “officially announced” by the White House, “discussion about potential executive orders is speculation.”…

State legislators are also pushing back against the draft order.
Trump “has no power to issue a royal edict canceling state laws,” said California State Sen. Scott Wiener, author of a new AI safety law in California that the order appears to reference….
One of my favorites is the MAGA outcry against “ big pharma.”
Yet one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Trump tax cuts?
Why “ big pharma” of course.
Irrational?
