While AI has enormous potential to increase productivity and grow our economy, this unilateral action weakens Colorado\u2019s ability to protect children and consumers.\n\nCongress can and must pass bipartisan legislation that supports AI development while protecting the American people. Until then, states must be allowed to develop common-sense frameworks to safeguard their communities while preserving conditions that allow businesses and start-ups to thrive.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.bennet.senate.gov/2025/12/16/bennet-statement-on-president-trumps-executive-order-blocking-state-level-ai-laws/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.765524037182331, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
