As @ITIFdc, @actonline and a coalition of over 30 organizations and individuals explain in a letter to @ChuckGrassley and @SenatorDurbin, AICOA will not only harm innovation at home, but rubberstamp the spread of discriminatory policies like the DMA abroad.
It must be stopped.
Congress must reject the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA).

Small businesses can use their competitive advantages of proximity and authenticity to win during the 2026 World Cup.
During the tournament this year, they're adopting innovative approaches to attract customers and score 🥅⚽️

The New York State Legislature gave final passage to A.9349 / S.8623, the One Fair Price Act, today, sending the bill to Governor Kathy Hochul. The legislation would restrict how businesses use customer data to offer discounts, including personalized coupons and loyalty rewards. Recent statewide polling showed that 70 percent of New Yorkers oppose this sweeping ban, and that 70 percent expect requiring stores to offer every customer the same discount, as the bill requires, would mean fewer discounts or none at all.

Proud to see this ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
3C is proud to endorse the bipartisan AI training bill introduced by Sens. Cantwell (D-WA) and Moran (R-KS). @SenatorCantwell @JerryMoran
The legislation would expand practical AI toolkits and training for small businesses through the Commerce Department and SBA, focused on real use cases like accounting, marketing, supply chains, and government contracting.
Here’s why that matters: AI is quickly becoming a core business capability. When small businesses have access not just to tools, but to hands-on guidance, they can compete more effectively, operate more efficiently, and grow with confidence.
This is the kind of targeted, pro-small-business policy that strengthens the broader innovation ecosystem.

The AI revolution is here. @HouseSmallBiz is fighting to ensure small businesses are not left behind as the use of artificial intelligence expands across America.
The AI for Mainstreet Act, introduced by @RepMarkAlford, directs SBDCs to help small businesses adopt AI into their business operations by providing guidance, training, and outreach.

Small businesses are the bedrock of the US economy, employing nearly 6 in 10 workers and producing almost 40% of value added nationally.
But they are only half as productive as large companies, compared with 60% in other advanced economies.
