Buried in the Republicans' billionaire tax giveaway is a special interest provision that would essentially ban states from regulating AI for a decade.
This is a dangerous proposal that has nothing to do with taxes. It cannot become law.

the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists *say* they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!
what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

My only recent photo with Zohran is when he joined us at the first Jewish mass action against Israel in Gaza and we all got arrested and taken to jail. Now, we and thousands of people who volunteered for his campaign made him the boss of the very NYPD who arrested us.
