Trump Fights States Over AI Rules, GOP Family Reunion Drama Ensues

KEY POINTS

•Donald Trump renewed calls on Truth Social to stop states from regulating AI on November 2025 Tuesday.
•Trump’s team is reportedly drafting an executive order for the DOJ to sue states enforcing AI laws.
•Republicans failed in July Senate vote (99-1) to impose a 10-year moratorium on state AI rules in the Big Beautiful Bill.
•GOP rebels like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders oppose stripping state AI regulation powers.

In a sequel nobody asked for, Donald Trump dusted off his megaphone on Truth Social this November Tuesday, bemoaning a 'patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes' on artificial intelligence. Apparently, the Trump administration’s grand plan is to slap a federal banhammer on any state daring to regulate AI, backed by a draft executive order letting the Department of Justice sue these pesky states. This follows an embarrassing July 99-1 Senate rebuke for trying to bake a 10-year AI moratorium into the colossal 'Big Beautiful Bill.' Not everyone’s sipping the Kool-Aid—Marjorie Taylor Greene spat 'Federalism must be preserved,' while GOP governors Ron DeSantis and Sarah Huckabee Sanders wagged fingers, warning it’s just a Big Tech bailout. Now with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise ready to sneak this into the National Defense Authorization Act, the political circus is back in town with more popcorn-worthy squabbles to come.

Trump wants one federal AI rule to rule them all, ignoring everyone four separate states, because inconsistency is his trope not a chance. No wonder GOP can't get a cookie straight.
