Ted Cruz Denies Flash Flooding in Texas Was Caused by Weather Manipulation

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-08-10 19:10:08

Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, participated in a press conference Monday with local officials to discuss the severe flooding that’s killed at least 90 people in the state, including children at an all-girls summer camp, with dozens of people still missing. It’s a horrible tragedy but people online are suggesting without evidence that the floods are actually part of some nefarious and deliberate conspiracy to kill people. Cruz was asked by a reporter Monday about conspiracy theories tha

Ted Cruz’s Ban on AI Regulation Gets Last-Minute Boot From ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-08-19 22:30:11

Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is packed with all sorts of problematic policies, but the Senate did manage to successfully strip it of one: the 10-year ban on state-level artificial intelligence laws. During the Senate’s “vote-a-rama,” it voted 99 to 1 to adopt an amendment that will strike the restrictions on state-level regulations from the spending bill. The provision, which received a considerable amount of support from Big Tech firms and was championed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, woul

Ted Cruz plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-20 06:54:10

Facing overwhelming opposition from both Democrats and Republicans, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accepted defeat and joined a 99-1 vote against his own plan to punish states that regulate artificial intelligence. "The Senate came together tonight to say that we can't just run over good state consumer protection laws," Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) said. The Cruz plan would have thwarted state laws related to robocalls, deepfakes, and autonomous vehicles, she said. The House previously approved a bu

US Senate removes controversial ‘AI moratorium’ from budget bill

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-08-20 23:07:48

U.S. senators voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to remove a controversial 10-year ban on states’ abilities to regulate AI from the Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” reports Axios. The provision to the reconciliation bill was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Many prominent Silicon Valley executives — including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anduril’s Palmer Luckey, and a16z’s Marc Andreessen — were in favor of the so-called “AI moratorium,” which they said would prevent states from forming an

Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-22 07:37:32

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has a plan for spectrum auctions that could take frequencies away from Wi-Fi and reallocate them for the exclusive use of wireless carriers. The plan would benefit AT&T, which is based in Cruz's home state, along with Verizon and T-Mobile. Cruz's proposal revives a years-old controversy over whether the entire 6 GHz band should be devoted to Wi-Fi, which can use the large spectrum band for faster speeds than networks that rely solely on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Congress

Ted Cruz can’t get all Republicans to back his fight against state AI laws

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-02 06:02:12

A Republican proposal to penalize states that regulate artificial intelligence can move forward without requiring approval from 60 senators, the Senate parliamentarian decided on Saturday. But the moratorium on state AI laws did not have unanimous Republican support and has reportedly been watered down in an effort to push it toward passage. In early June, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) proposed enforcing a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation by making states ineligible for broadband funding if they t

Elon Musk recommends that the International Space Station be deorbited ASAP

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-04 14:10:29

In a remarkable statement Thursday, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said the International Space Station should be deorbited "as soon as possible." This comment from Musk will surely set off a landmine in the global space community, with broad implications. And it appears to be no idle comment from Musk who, at times, indulges in deliberately provocative posts on the social media network X that he owns. However, that does not seem to be the case here. "It is time to begin preparations for deorbiting
