The urgency for this legislation stems from the increasing use of AI chatbots by teens and the potential for harmful content, including encouragement of self-harm, drug use, and inappropriate conversations.

**Summary:**On October 29th, Democratic officials from twenty-five states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent the suspension of SNAP benefits for millions of low-income Americans. The government plans to cut off these benefits due to the ongoing shutdown, putting over forty million people at risk of losing help to buy groceries. The states argue that the federal government should use the SNAP contingency fund before suspending benefits, while the USDA claims it would be illegal to do so. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Massachusetts, with Democratic attorneys general and governors from various states joining forces. If the suspension goes through, it could hurt public health, increase hunger, and raise costs for local governments, leading to broader community issues.
