Blackburn says AI deal with Cruz is off
- On Monday night, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn withdrew support, leading to the collapse of the AI moratorium deal tied to President Trump's bill.
- Following the deal's collapse, over 40 state attorneys general and 17 Republican governors opposed a five-year AI regulation freeze, citing threats to state rights.
- Only states that comply can access $500 million in AI funding, with exemptions for child safety and likeness protections, as outlined in the draft amendment.

- More broadly, the failed deal highlights deep divisions between states' rights advocates and federal oversight efforts, signaling potential for Congress to reassert control over AI regulation.
