Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump has signed an executive order to override state laws regulating artificial intelligence. As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, the tech industry has lobbied for the move.
The order instructs the Justice Department to challenge state AI laws it views as burdensome.
Chapter 2: What executive order did President Trump sign regarding artificial intelligence?
States this year have passed more than 100 laws attempting to regulate AI, while Congress hasn't passed any. Trump says a patchwork of state laws could give China an edge in the AI race.
Every time you make a change, and it could be a very reasonable change, you still won't get it approved if you have to go to 50 states. So this centralizes it.
But trying to override state AI laws has been met with opposition from both parties and prominent members of the MAGA movement. White House AI and crypto czar David Sachs helped advance the order. Sachs is a longtime venture capitalist with deep connections to Silicon Valley. Bobby Allen, NPR News.
Indiana state senators voted down a Republican-friendly congressional map today. Though lawmakers in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina have answered President Trump's call to boost Republicans' chances of keeping control of the U.S. House next year, WFYI's Ben Thorpe says Indiana is the first GOP-led state to vote against the effort.
There were protesters against redistricting that you could hear from inside the Senate chamber today. And looming over everything was this pressure from the Trump administration. Here's one of the Republicans who opposed the new voting map, State Senator Spencer Deary.
As long as I have breath, I will use my voice to resist a federal government that attempts to bully, direct, and control this state or any state. Giving the federal government more power is not conservative.
Opponents also noted that states usually redistrict early in the decade after the census comes in. Republicans just passed the current map in 2021.
WFYI's Ben Thorpe. Kilmar Abrego-Garcia has been released from immigration custody. It's the latest development in the case of the man who was deported by mistake. NPR's Ximena Bastio has more.
Lawyers for Abrego Garcia confirmed to NPR he was released this afternoon from the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This comes after a federal judge ordered his release earlier in the day. The White House has said that it will appeal the order but didn't do so in time to block the release.

A hiker was rescued from quicksand in Utah's Arches National Park
Chapter 4: What recent developments occurred in Indiana's congressional map vote?
Rescuers responded to an emergency satellite beacon activated by the backpacker. The man first tried to dig himself out with a shovel supplied by park rangers. Rescuers ended up placing a ladder and boards on the quicksand so they could get to him and work his leg loose. Another quicksand rescue happened in the same area in 2014. I'm Ryland Barton.
