Last week Rand Paul blocked KOSA by objecting to a unanimous-consent request from Blackburn and Blumenthal. This was enough to stop the fast track, but the bill is not dead. What happens next: 🔸Senate is in pro forma sessions until it returns for real business, expected around November 9 🔸Any remaining path for KOSA needs a scheduled floor vote, cloture at 60, debate, then a deal with the House 🔸If it does not clear both chambers before January 3, 2027, this Congress ends and the bill dies Blumenthal has already said he wants a floor vote when they return. And Ted Cruz pledged in May that KOSA would become law this year. But Thune will decide if the bill gets scheduled for a floor vote. House KOSA (KIDS Act) passed in June, but doesn't include the "duty of care" the Senate KOSA has. Blackburn and Blumenthal have said the House version is DOA in the Senate. "Duty of care" is the censorship and surveillance mechanism. It will require age verification and content censorship - neither of which protect children online. 1/2
