    I thought the 1 vote had to be the Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, but no:

    The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

    Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

      So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?

      And how does anyone vote for something that’s 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that’s not this.

        I don’t think he’d won his election; I also think it was a local election, rather than a federal one? But, I’ll admit, I hadn’t been following his race very closely.

        I don’t think so? Dude looks like he’d be a WASP if he wasn’t Catholic. Unless he was doing some internet sock puppet shenanigans or something.
