Congress came one vote short of reining in the president's war powers on Iran. H. Con. Res. 40 failed 213-214. In the same seven days, six state laws passed that were first in the nation: New Mexico universal child care; Oregon letting users sue AI chatbot makers; Nebraska farm data privacy, Washington banning AI insurance denials and banning 3D-printed ghost-gun blueprints; and Virginia joining the National Popular Vote compact. We also cover Virginia's pharmacy benefit manager reform (S.B. 669), the Maryland Vax Act severing from the CDC (H.B. 637), and Kentucky's new eating disorder coverage mandate (H.B. 169). The federal grid blew out. The 50 state generators picked up the load.
