Marjorie Taylor Greene Regrets Backing Trump’s Tax Bill Without Reading It
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed she had not read US President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” before voting for it, discovering only afterward that a last-minute AI provision stripped states of the power to regulate AI for ten years.
The Democrats, who all voted against the bill, responded harshly, urging lawmakers to thoroughly read legislation.
The provision, added just before markup, bans state and local rules on facial recognition, generative AI, and automated decision systems—a move that could void existing laws.
Billionaire Elon Musk denounced the bill as a “disgusting abomination.”
Democrats highlighted that the larger package includes steep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance.
