Per Semafor, bipartisan AI safety talks in the Senate are at a standstill. Commerce Chair Ted Cruz said there's no bipartisan agreement and any markup would have to happen during a lame-duck session. Sen. Amy Klobuchar blamed Trump's opposition to 'common-sense, bipartisan guardrails' and still hopes to pass strong safeguards by year's end. It's unclear if a bill will even be introduced before the election.
