EFF mentions "UPDATE: This vote has been set for this Thursday, November 14, 2024."

I don't know where they got the information, as it is not mentioned in the webpage:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/214...

It’s dead. Republicans will not allow democrats to get a lame duck win, and vice versa, and I don’t see a compromise anywhere.

There's no broader political win to this bill. This is something that some large donors, who likely play both parties, would want. Those kinds of bills usually sail through with bipartisan support.

If you want the list of companies who shadow wrote it, there is somewhere a video recording of Tilis/Coons press conference with IBM and Qualcomm taking the microphone. I can try to find the recording back.
