The proposal follows President Donald Trump's pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and seeks to eliminate what Khanna calls "blatant corruption" at the intersection of politics and crypto. "The pardon of Zhao is corrupt," Khanna said on MSNBC. "You've got a foreign billionaire engaged in money laundering and financing terrorism, who supports the president's son's cryptocurrency firm, and then the president pardons him. This is corruption in plain sight."

The motion put forward by the NDP looks to update the Ticket Sales Act to combat fraud, and predatory pricing by banning the sale of tickets above face value, but did not mention how this policy would be enforced. Here's the choice we're putting towards Conservatives. You can either vote with us to finally end ticket gouging once and for all, or keep siding with the resellers and leave fans on the sidelines, said Leader Marit Stiles at a news conference Wednesday.

Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed a bill to fast-track the study of psychedelic drugs, which a coalition of veterans say hold enormous potential to treat post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. More veterans die from suicide in America on a daily basis than average daily combat deaths in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined, according to data collected by the Department of Veterans Affairs. A growing number of former service members are now turning to psychedelics to treat the mental health conditions caused by wartime trauma and traumatic brain injury.

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz (R-TX) was one of a handful of Republicans to speak out against the "mafioso"-like comments Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr issued ahead of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension last month. Now, he's hoping the liberal outrage over government censorship will fuel bipartisan support for a new bill letting Americans sue over speech violations. Cruz plans to introduce the bill in the coming weeks, he told The Wall Street Journal in an interview.

A 32 million passenger cap, a planning condition issued by the airport's local authority, has long come under legal and political scrutiny. But Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien secured Cabinet sign-off to address the matter through legislation on Tuesday. In a statement, he said: "This Government recognises the strategic importance of Dublin Airport as our primary international gateway, and the contribution it makes to our economy. "Today, I sought agreement to pursue a legislative course of action to bring much-needed clarity to all stakeholders."

A bipartisan group of lawmakers from across both chambers of Congress introduced legislation this week calling for the Department of Health and Human Services "to dedicate sufficient resources" to the crisis and suicide lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth after the Trump administration terminated the service in July. The measure said this effort would include "establishing, re-establishing, operating, and maintaining specialized services" for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program.

"I've heard from a lot of constituents and people around the city about fears of e-bikes going too fast, experiences people have had, injuries they've incurred. But I wanted to think of a way to address the concerns that wouldn't actually criminalize the bike riders," she said. The bill only bans the sale of such bikes, which are popular with the city's 80,000 delivery workers.

In documents reviewed by Nextgov/FCW, the proposed regulatory sandbox program created within OSTP would allow participating AI companies to receive temporary exemption from external AI regulations. These temporary waivers would be available for "one or more covered provisions of an applicable agency in order to test, experiment, or temporarily provide to consumers artificial intelligence products or services or artificial intelligence development methods on a limited basis without being subject to the enforcement, licensing, or authorization requirements of such covered provisions."

Hawley said he planned to introduce a bill on the topic "soon," but declined to offer further details. A self-styled populist, Hawley staked out his stance against autonomous vehicles in a speech at the National Conservatism last week, where he cast AI as part of a transhumanist project and called for a series of restrictions on the technology. "Only humans should drive cars and trucks," Hawley said at the time.

The loan included in a budget deal between Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature earlier this summer was designed as a bridge to keep BART, San Francisco's Muni, AC Transit in the East Bay and Caltrain on the Peninsula afloat through 2026.

Tech giants have a clear responsibility here: the tools already exist to disable stolen devices, and it's time to use them.

At issue was whether oil companies could be held liable for damage from future wildfires caused at least in part by climate change. The state Senate Judiciary Committee vote on the measure came just two days after a Louisiana jury held oil giant Chevron liable by for $744.6 million to restore damage to Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The case was the first of many pending against oil companies that have supposedly lied about whether their policies

asking people for IDs or face scans to prove they are over 18 or 21 or even 13. To proponents, they're a tool to keep children away from adult websites and other material that might be harmful to them. But opponents see a worrisome trend toward a less secure, less private and less free internet, where people can be denied access not just to pornography but news, health information and the ability to speak openly and anonymously.

"I'm not at all surprised to see those results because work from home has been an absolute game-changer for Australia's working families," O'Neil told Barr.
