HARRISBURG, November 25, 2025 — Attorney General Dave Sunday is once again expressing opposition to federal plans that would preempt state laws regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and its associated risks, particularly the potential harm to children and vulnerable individuals who can be exploited online. While Attorney General Sunday and some Pennsylvania legislative leaders are actively working to address the safety risks posed by modern technology, the U.S. Congress is poised to pass a provision that prevents states from regulating AI and from taking enforcement actions against those who misuse it. This week, Attorney General Sunday joined 36 other Attorneys General in sending a letter to Congress opposing the preemption of state laws on this matter. Earlier this year, he was part of a coalition with a similar message. “I am…

Ethel Hedgeman was born in 1887 in St. Louis, Missouri. She attended public schools in St. Louis and graduated from Sumner High School with honors in 1904. Notably, she was the first student from Sumner to receive a scholarship to Howard University, a highly ranked historically Black college. At that time, only 1 in 300 African Americans and about 5% of eligible white students attended college.

While in college, she participated in various activities, including the choir, the YWCA, the Christian Endeavor, and drama productions. She was described as lively and charming, despite her delicate health. Hedgeman played a crucial role in founding Alpha Kappa Alpha, America’s…

Federal Election Commission decision of 2010, which held that corporations are people — entitled to the same First Amendment protection as the rest of us. Corporate political spending was growing before Citizens United, but the decision opened the floodgates to unlimited super PAC spending and the undisclosed dark money we face today. Between 2008 and 2024, reported “independent” expenditures by outside groups exploded by more than 28-fold — from $144 million to $4.21 billion. Unreported money also skyrocketed, with dark-money groups spending millions to influence the 2024 election. Most people I talk with assume that the only way…
