They discuss the TAKE IT DOWN Act, a landmark federal law targeting non-consensual intimate imagery and digital forgeries. The conversation delves into its bipartisan support, the balance between protecting victims and free speech, and concerns over potential censorship and enforcement challenges that may arise.

Adam Conner, a policy expert at the Center for American Progress, joins to discuss the implications of the Trump administration's AI executive order. He argues that this order could undermine state regulations and empower big tech, posing legal and constitutional challenges. The conversation dives into the economic stakes of AI, the need for clear accountability measures, and the risks of relying too heavily on AI for decision-making. Conner also emphasizes the importance of steering AI development towards inclusive growth and fostering public debate on its future.
