It still has to go through the Senate. The US House of Representatives just narrowly passed a budget bill, which has been referred to by President Trump and others as "one big, beautiful bill."

States would be banned by the federal government from enforcing laws that regulate AI for the next decade. The vote fell largely along party lines, with nearly every

In a nutshell: Texas wants to emulate Florida by imposing a ban on minors signing up for social media accounts, but it would go even further: while Florida bars those under 14, the Texas proposal would raise the minimum sign-up age to 18.
