While the White House debates the future of an executive order on AI — states are moving ahead with real laws.

The tech industry never wants a patchwork of regulation… and it always ends up with a patchwork of regulation.

NEWS: Illinois AI safety bill SB315 just passed the House and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Pritzker.

It would make Illinois the first state in the country with mandatory third party audits and goes farther than New York's RAISE Act and California's SB53.

I don’t mean to sound dense as someone who travels often… but how can airlines charge extra fees for a checked bag AND a carryon. Do they think I’m flying to Vancouver with just the shirt on my chest and vibes?

Writer and comedian @adamconover railed against AI use in Hollywood.

"When someone says, 'that looks like AI,' is that a compliment? No, they’re saying it looks like shit ... Why would you ever want to put that in your movie?" he told our @DanielNMiller.

@nflonly13 @politico The WHCA’s annual dinner is not hosted by the president and does not honor the president — never has.

It is a celebration of the First Amendment. Scholarships are given to students. Awards are given to journalists. The president and other admin officials are invited guests.

[Steven Overly @StevenOverly]

If you want to know what journalists do in an emergency — even one that threatens their immediate safety — they hunker down and bring you the news.

This is my @politico colleagues reporting moments after a shooting shut down the #WHCD. Read their work:

@Margaret3786 @politico No.

All of these reporters and editors were at the dinner, were forced to duck under tables for safety, and then got to a secure room to report and file stories.

Get your facts straight before you comment.

[Victoria Guida @vtg2]

.@harrispolitico does a great job capturing what it was like in the room for many including me — rather than terror, mostly confusion.

WHCA President @weijia addresses the #WHCD after a security incident required President Trump to evacuate and sent attendees diving under tables.

The dinner will be rescheduled and Trump intends to return.

My favorite accessory?

Civil liberties.

This is chaos.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@alexanderburns on Kamala Harris: "What was her message on health care?"

Mark Cuban (@mcuban): "Don't remember. Don't care. Those days are gone."

Burns: "Would you like to see her run for president again?"

Cuban: "No...There's time for a lot of new shit right now."

[POLITICO @politico]

Does Mark Cuban want Kamala Harris to run for president in 2028?

“No,” he tells our @alexanderburns.

“Don’t remember, don’t care,” he said when asked to recall her health care message during her 2024 campaign.

“Those days are gone.”

[POLITICO @politico]

HAPPENING NOW: Entrepreneur @mcuban joins our @alexanderburns to discuss his pitch for lowering drug prices and what lies ahead for health care access and affordability.
