Comment by Ed Markey
U.S. senator from Massachusetts
President Trump is continuing to repay Big Tech's campaign donations by proposing to block states from protecting their communities from AI-related harms. [...] [We need the States' Right to Regulate AI Act to] put power back into the hands of people, not the Big Tech billionaire boys club cozying up to the White House.

Quote attributed to Sen. Ed Markey (2026). The official markey.senate.gov source_url returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but web search confirmed the press release exists at that exact URL and corroborated the quote verbatim: "President Trump is continuing to repay Big Tech's campaign donations by proposing to block states from protecting their communities from AI-related harms," and his call to pass the States' Right to Regulate AI Act "to put power back into the hands of people, not the Big Tech billionaire boys club cozying up to the White House." Year (2026) current and correct. Author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment correct: Markey opposes federal preemption and champions states' authority to regulate AI (he led the States' Right to Regulate AI Act), directly supporting the statement "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" — matching the "for" vote.
