‘You have one job’: Marjorie Taylor Greene admits she didn’t fully read the ‘one big beautiful bill’ she just voted for — calls it ‘full transparency’

Marjorie Taylor Greene just took to Twitter to share that she did not know what the bill she just voted for says about the regulation of AI.

The often under-discussed aspect of Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” is that it’s 1,000 pages. That’s a massive undertaking — that’s as long as at least two Harry Potter books — and there’s always been the question of who actually read it. And were the people who drafted it counting on that? Well, whether they were or not, Marjorie Taylor Greene just offered herself as tribute and admitted she never actually read the whole thing.

Greene has been making her usual media rounds, proudly sharing how she thinks it’s an honor to have played a part in voting for Trump’s enormous bill. There were already conversations about how the bill affects the national deficit and Medicaid, but somehow none of that raised any concerns for Greene. That is, until she stumbled on some controversial language about artificial intelligence that gave her pause.

The recent GOP election wins were always going to mean major tax reliefs. However, what most people didn’t expect was just how many other tangentially related clauses would be stuffed into the bill. Everywhere you look, someone finds a new reason to be displeased. Even Elon Musk has called out the GOP for having no shame in voting the bill through the House.

But the specific clause on pages 278–279 prevents states from making or enforcing any rules concerning AI for 10 years. That’s a lifetime in tech — especially for something evolving as fast as AI. Rep. Greene finally read the bill and admitted she didn’t specifically know about the AI clause. Now, she wants that part removed.

The Georgia representative said in part on X, “Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278–279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of states’ rights, and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.”

Representative Eric Swalwell quipped back with wrath, saying, “You have one job,” even using expletives to demand his colleague read the bill. Rep. Greene has since said that when the Senate brings the bill back for a second round of House voting with amended clauses, she won’t vote for it if the AI regulation — or rather, non-regulation — is still there.

You have one job.

To. Read. The. Fucking. Bill. https://t.co/A4caXGbhLA

Demanding that AI get no regulation definitely sounds like something written by one of the billionaires Trump tethered around to Saudi Arabia. As they say about broken clocks, Rep. Greene is 100% right on this one. There’s just nobody who can say with full certainty what AI will be like next year, much less 10 years from now.

Every other developing industry gets government oversight. Something with this much power cannot be allowed to operate without the checks and balances that every other titan industry has to go through. AI could vastly improve our lives. But in the wrong hands, things might be very different.
