A Good Day for the Rule of Law! open.substack.com/pub/glennkir...

The first attempt to pass this harmful AI moratorium policy in the One Big Beautiful Bill failed because of robust bipartisan opposition. Trump is using this executive order to bypass this opposition in both chambers of Congress.

Moreover, his attempt to block state laws through federal coercion likely violates the 10th Amendment, and as such constitutes an unconstitutional abuse of power.

President Trump’s AI order is an attempt to kill responsible safety reforms passed by states, which would create a lawless Wild West environment for AI companies that puts Americans at risk. This is a terrible idea. My statement:

He’s more focused on stuff like this: 👇👇👇 ‘2nd grand jury refuses to indict New York AG Letitia James: Sources’ How many times are they going to try to put an innocent woman in prison for crimes she didn’t commit to appease this bloated psychopath?? abcnews.go.com/US/2nd-time-...

The FBI caught a smuggler, but ICE wants to deport her before there is a trial. Well, of course, she was smuggling to benefit Russia. Why is everything Trump does to the benefit of Russia, Russia, Russia? He really does think we are too dumb to see the collusion. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump calls affordability a "hoax." Meanwhile, a Joint Economic Committee report estimates that his tariffs have cost the average household an extra $1,200 this year. Tariffs are regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than the rich. "New Golden Age."

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

On Tuesday, Pritzker signed a bill that makes it easier for Illinois residents to sue federal immigration agents for up to $10,000 if they believe their rights have been violated, and also restricts those agents from enforcement outside courthouses.

The cruel irony of Republicans voting down ACA subsidies is that it will end up hurting Trump voters the most. 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican. They're selling out their own voters.

Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what's in it for me.

The rule of law AGAIN defeats Trump’s lawlessness:

Once again, a grand jury serves as the conscience of the community, a bulwark against the prosecutorial overreach and abuse of Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Lindsey Halligan. Today is a good day for the rule of law.
