In December, the Trump administration signed an executive order that neutered states' ability to regulate AI by ordering his administration to both sue and withhold funds from states that try to do so. [...] By preempting state oversight, the federal government is effectively creating a regulatory vacuum, and the AI industry will exploit it.

Verified. The quote about the December Trump executive order neutering states' ability to regulate AI (suing and withholding funds from states), creating a "regulatory vacuum, and the AI industry will exploit it," is accurately attributed to Bruce Schneier from his Schneier on Security blog post "As the US Midterms Approach, AI Is Going to Emerge as a Key Issue Concerning Voters" (March 2026, co-authored with Nathan E. Sanders). The source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search corroborates the passage verbatim from this exact post. Year (2026) is current. The vote "for" on "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government" correctly aligns — Schneier criticizes federal preemption and defends state-level AI regulation.
