Subject: Legislative Tensions Over AI Moratorium, Massive Spending Bill, and MAGA Agenda Integrity
Situation Overview:
In a high-stakes battle over a sweeping legislative package dubbed the "big, beautiful bill,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) mounted a successful resistance to a deeply controversial artificial intelligence (AI) moratorium. The provision would have allowed unchecked federal support for AI development over ten years, potentially stripping states of regulatory power. The effort to strike it succeeded with an overwhelming 99-1 Senate vote after direct grassroots pressure from the MAGA base and intense pushback from Greene, who made it clear to the White House that she would not support the bill unless the moratorium was removed.

Key Points:
President Donald Trump, now serving his second term, was initially briefed by advisors that the AI provision had minimal resistance. However, according to Bannon and MTG, he was misled by donor-influenced operatives who underreported the scale of opposition. Once Greene and others elevated the issue, it was removed in a near-unanimous Senate decision, illustrating both the power of the grassroots MAGA movement and the susceptibility of Trump’s inner circle to establishment influence.
Greene reiterated her full support for President Trump but warned that the voices around him—namely neocons, Deep State actors, and newly arrived mega-donors—do not represent the will of the American people. She urged vigilance from the base to ensure Trump receives accurate information and remains committed to his 2024 campaign promises, particularly on tax relief, border security, and economic sovereignty.
Legislative Concerns:
Despite the win on AI, the broader bill still contains troubling provisions. Greene highlighted nearly $10 billion earmarked for NASA’s moon and Mars missions—a tone-deaf allocation, she argued, in light of domestic suffering, skyrocketing living costs, and 37 trillion dollars in national debt. She also raised concerns about Medicaid coverage for illegal immigrants, clarifying that while Medicare was off the table, blue states would still fund Medicaid programs for illegals, placing further strain on taxpayers.
Greene is now maintaining a real-time thread on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @RepMTG, detailing hidden provisions in the bill. She warns that without continued public engagement, the establishment will push through bloated spending, foreign entanglements, and anti-sovereignty policies under the guise of bipartisan success.

Forecast:
The House is expected to revisit the bill on Wednesday. Speaker Mike Johnson may fast-track a vote, but Greene doubts leadership has the votes, especially with growing dissatisfaction over donor-driven policy insertions. MTG warns that this could be the last meaningful legislative victory for MAGA in this Congress if another Continuing Resolution (CR) is rammed through in September—a threat she says is already "whispered” within the chamber.
Conclusion:
MTG and Bannon framed the current legislative struggle as a war for the soul of the MAGA movement. While supporting President Trump remains central, Greene stressed that loyalty does not mean blind compliance. The people must stay activated, vigilant, and informed to secure real victories and to insulate Trump’s second term from establishment sabotage. The fight over this bill is not just about AI—it’s about direction, control, and whether MAGA remains a movement or becomes co-opted from within.
