Why Are Dem Governors Staying Silent About Trump’s Attack on State AI Laws?

The only ones who truly benefit from the #WarMachine are #Corporations! And this is further proof! My uncle was in the US Army and when he was discharged, he could fix just about anything electro-mechanical! But nooooo... We can't have folks fixing stuff themselves -- just buy new ones and waste #taxpayer money!

Congress Quietly Kills Military “#RightToRepair,” Allowing #Corporations to Cash In on *Fixing* Broken Products

Both chambers included Pentagon budget provisions for a right to repair, but they died after defense industry meetings on Capitol Hill.

by Matt Sledge, December 9 2025

"The idea of a 'right to repair' — a requirement that companies facilitate consumers’ #repairs, #maintenance, and modification of products — is extremely popular, even winning broad, bipartisan support in Congress. That could not, however, save it from the #MilitaryIndustrial complex.

"#Lobbyists succeeded in killing part of the National Defense Authorization Act [#NDAA] that would have given service members the right to fix their equipment in the field without having to worry about military suppliers’ intellectual property.

"The decision to kill the popular proposal was made public Sunday after a closed-door conference of top congressional officials, including defense committee chairs, along with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.

"Those meetings were secret, but consumer advocates say they have a pretty good idea of what happened.

" 'It’s pretty clear that defense contractors opposed the right-to-repair provisions, and they pressed hard to have them stripped out of the final bill,' said Isaac Bowers, the federal legislative director at #USPIRG. 'All we can say is that #DefenseContractors have a lot of influence on Capitol Hill.'

"The idea had drawn bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, which each passed their own versions of the proposal.

"Under one version, co-sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mt., defense companies would have been required to supply the information needed for repairs — such as technical data, maintenance manuals, engineering drawings, and lists of replacement parts — as a condition of Pentagon contracts.

"The idea was that no service member would ever be left waiting on a contractor to fly in from Norway to repair a simple part — which once happened — or, in another real-life scenario, told by the manufacturer to buy a new CT scanner in a combat zone because one malfunctioned.

"Instead of worrying about voiding a warranty, military personnel in the field could use a 3D printer or elbow grease to fix a part.

" 'The military is a can-do operation,' Bowers said. 'Service members can and should be able to repair their own equipment, and this will save costs if they can do it upfront and on time and on their schedule.' "

Trump’s EPA Nearly Doubles Amount of Formaldehyde Considered “Safe” to Inhale

The chemical industry finally got its wish. Industry lobbyists have long pushed the federal government to adopt a less stringent approach to gauging the cancer risk from chemicals, one that would help ease regulations on companies that make or use them. Last week, in a highly unusual move, the Environmental Protection Agency embraced that approach in announcing that it is revising an…

when it comes to this government a ministers expenses when travelling dont even rate. How about talking about where she got the tickets from for these sporting events. How about talking about all the lobbyists in her ear. The media, with the help of the gov, try to distract us with baubles. #media #auspol #lobbyists #gambling #labor
