FCC considers easing political robocall rules in the final stretch before midterms

WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Communications Commission is considering a request by a conservative group to loosen rules on political robocalls , including those with artificial intelligence-generated voices, before Novembers midterm elections. Federal law currently bans most robocalls to cellphones unless the caller gets consent beforehand. The petition calls for a waiver that would allow political groups to use artificial or prerecorded voices in unsolicited wireless calls. The Republican-led FCC advanced the request for public comment and could rule on it as soon as late October. Consumer advocacy groups warn the proposed change could trigger a surge of unwanted, partisan and potentially misleading automated calls in the critical final days of the election, which will determine which party controls Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump's term. The potential perils became evident two years ago during the presidential primary season when thousands of voters in New Hampshire received a robocall with an AI-generated voice of then-President Joe Biden. The call suggested voters should forgo casting a ballot in the primary and save their votes for the general election. Under the waiver request before the FCC, some state and federal laws protecting against deception and voter intimidation would continue to prohibit certain misleading election-related messages. But granting it could weaken a major deterrent for bad actors, said Tim Harper, who leads the elections team at the Washington-based Center for Democracy and Technology. Such a ruling close to Election Day would open a huge opportunity for abuse during a period where harm has outsized impact, he said. Campaigns will use this technology to target voters in deceptive ways. A tool for better communication or misleading messages? The Club for Growth, a right-leaning economic policy group seeking the change, said it could help political organizations better communicate with potential voters, including in more languages, and improve polling accuracy by helping groups reach more voters. It calls current federal rules outdated and argues they dampen freedom of speech. The nations communications regulatory body would have to act within a compressed schedule to grant the waiver in time to affect the midterm elections. Critics said it wouldnt be the first time the FCC, which has become closely aligned with the president during his second term, has bypassed procedural norms to serve its political agenda. Its Republican chairman, Brendan Carr, launched an unusual early review of broadcast licenses for several ABC-owned local broadcast stations, prompting the company to sue. It said the review years ahead of schedule was unconstitutional, a violation of free speech and a retaliation for content Trump dislikes . The FCC didnt respond to a request for comment on the petition. Ana Gomez, the sole Democrat among the FCCs three active commissioners, told The Associated Press she opposes the move and thinks it would create a tsunami of robocalls and misinformation. Weve already seen dark money groups use AI to put candidates likeness behind inflammatory comments ahead of this election, Gomez said. Exempting political calls from the need for consumer consent would supercharge that strategy, and misleading messages could land directly on the handheld phone of nearly every voter in our country. Political robocalls have caused controversies before In past elections, deceptive political robocalls have resulted in significant fines associated with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the federal law at the center of the petition. In 2020, tens of thousands of prospective voters in majority-Black areas of the U.S. received robocalls falsely warning that if they voted by mail, they could face arrest and debt collection. The two conservative hoaxers behind the calls, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, were criminally charged for the calls and fined some $5.1 million for violating the act. The political consultant behind the 2024 New Hampshire robocalls mimicking Biden's voice said he did it to send a wake-up call about the potential dangers of AI. He was acquitted of criminal voter suppression charges but faced fines and civil damages associated with federal law. Shortly after the New Hampshire robocall caught authorities' attention, the FCC ruled that robocalls made with AI voice-cloning tools were outlawed under the consumer protection act. The change could boost various types of AI calling If the commission pivots to grant the Club for Growths petition, political groups of all stripes could amp up their use of AI to prerecord messages that play when voters pick up the phone. They also could use the technology to engage in live conversations with voters driven by AI large language models. Mekela Panditharatne, senior counsel in the democracy program at the Brennan Center for Justice, warned that such conversations hold risks. An AI system could make false promises about a candidate or manipulate voters in conversation by providing inaccurate or incomplete information. Harper, from the Center for Democracy and Technology, said there also could be a privacy risk for voters who might not know how an AI agent on the line with them is capturing or repurposing their data. The Club for Growth has argued the waiver would help create a more uniform regulatory landscape, given that unsolicited automated calls to landlines are already allowed. If the waiver is granted, callers would still be limited by certain conditions, including allowing consumers to opt out and making no more than three calls within 30 days to each individual recipient. A public comment reply period on the petition ends Oct. 19, at which point the FCC could move forward on a decision.

Trump wants to turn his West Palm Beach golf course into the new Camp David

Much of President Donald Trumps second term has focused on changes to the nations capital. But his ambitions to remake the physical architecture of the presidency transcend Washington: Trump wants to transform his West Palm Beach golf club into a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. The plan calls for a parcel of the private club to be designated a permanent, official sanctuary for foreign leaders and future U.S. presidents, designed to host international summits and house presidents when they take vacations in Florida, according to a proposal presented to Palm Beach County officials by Trump International Golf Clubs legal counsel. Future presidents would also be offered comped memberships to the Trump club. Just as Camp David, Windsor Castle, or the Elysee Palace are known worldwide, so too will the Presidential Golf Course in Palm Beach County, Harvey Oyer, a lawyer representing the Trump course, wrote to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners in a letter last month. Oyer asked the county, which owns the property the course is on, to provide a piece of the land to the federal government, and he promised Trump would pay for the construction of a presidential residence and facilities on that land. Oyer told The Washington Post that a name has yet not been selected for the presidential golf course. It would further cement Palm Beach County as one of the most recognizable brands and destinations in the world, Oyer said. A spokesperson for Trump Organization did not respond to requests for comment. A White House official with knowledge of the proposed plans said in a text message the facilities would provide amenities of a world-class property. The property is minutes away from the Donald J. Trump International Airport, does not have buildings looming, does not have houses along the course, has great security features, is close to law enforcement, and happens to be a highly-rated golf course. These are features that are necessary for any presidential retreat, said the White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview plans. In the letter, which was first reported by the Palm Beach Post, Oyer said the construction would not be completed before Trump leaves office, so the project would be a gift to Trumps successors and the county would benefit from high-power traffic in the area. The county is seriously considering the proposal and is seeking more information, Palm Beach County Administrator Joseph Abruzzo told The Washington Post. In a meeting last week, Trump representatives assured county officials that, under the proposal, Trumps company would continue to make lease payments for the golf course and would agree to build the presidential retreat on a connected piece of land that would have a separate entrance from the private club, Abruzzo said. Trumps club would continue to operate under the Trump family company and likely benefit from more business if it becomes a site of long-lasting presidential importance. The county is in contact with the General Services Administration, the agency that manages federal properties, and the county will be selecting a parcel of the land for the proposal, Abruzzo said. My understanding is that President Trump views this as a lasting contribution to the presidency and to those who will hold the office after him, Abruzzo said. Though presidents already have a retreat at Camp David, Trump has visited the complex less frequently than many of his predecessors, preferring to spend his weekends and holidays at his own properties. He once commented that Camp Davids rustic charm would wear off after half an hour. Previous presidents have left their own marks on the woodsy Maryland retreat. Franklin D. Roosevelt established the getaway for federal workers as a presidential compound and dubbed it Shangri-La, though Dwight D. Eisenhower later named it after his father and grandson. Marjorie Merriweather Post, who was once the wealthiest woman in the United States, also had hoped to create a presidential retreat in the South. She gifted her Palm Beach estate - better known as Mar-a-Lago - to the federal government upon her death in 1973, with the intention that it be turned into a Winter White House. But the National Park Service returned the property to her estate due to high maintenance costs, and Trump bought the property in 1985. Trump International Golf Club opened in 1999 after Trump settled a lawsuit with the county regarding airplanes flying over Mar-a-Lago and the county agreed to lend him the land. Near the golf course, state officials have branded the Palm Beach airport and the road along it with Trumps name. Trumps influence over Palm Beach and its image would be further cemented if the golf club becomes a presidential retreat. The wealthy strip of South Florida has undergone a MAGA transformation with Trumps base flocking to Mar-a-Lago for political events and networking. The nearby golf club has become a go-to destination for Trump spotting. Trump reported an income of nearly $37 million last year from the golf course in his latest financial disclosure. Although Trump had mocked former president Barack Obama for golfing during his presidency, Trump has frequently golfed since hes been in office. One online tracker calculated that Trump has spent at least 137 days in his second term golfing. Rick Reilly, a former Sports Illustrated columnist who wrote Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, has golfed with Trump and said the president is less interested in the sport than the attention he gains at his own clubs. Reilly described how Trump always plays first in his golfing party and speeds on his golf cart to the next hole, wrapping up his game in less time than is typical, before heading to the clubhouse, where he makes the rounds, talking to his members and fans. If the Palm Beach club were a destination for foreign leaders, they would be part of the display of influence. I suppose he wants to make a power play with these people and show them who is the king of America, Reilly said. Don Van Natta Jr., an ESPN senior writer who wrote First Off the Tee: Presidential Hackers, Duffers, and Cheaters From Taft to Bush, a book on the history of presidents who golfed, said 17 out of the last 20 presidents have golfed. The first avid golfer in the Oval Office was William Howard Taft, and the last president who didnt golf was Jimmy Carter. There is a long history of presidents playing golf, Van Natta said. Its an escape where they can, as President [Bill] Clinton told me for my book, to be out in nature, and its an escape hatch from the pressures of the Oval Office. CORRECTION: A photo caption with a previous version of this article and on the homepage omitted the year that President Donald Trump arrived at Trump International Golf Club to watch the Super Bowl. It was in 2017. Related Content This article originally appeared on Washington Post at https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-wants-turn-west-palm-090000951.html

GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers breaks with Trump and calls to end Canada tariffs

WASHINGTON Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers appears to be breaking with President Donald Trump on another key issue less than a month before Election Day. Drinking a Labatt and watching the Red Wings, man, it just doesn't get any more Michigan than that, Rogers said in a new video ad released on Oct. 7. Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war now. The statement marks the second time in recent weeks that Rogers spoke out albeit without criticizing Trump by name against one of the president's unpopular initiatives . This time, Rogers is calling for an end to Trump's widespread trade war against Canada, America's biggest trading partner. The Republican Senate nominee also split with Trump on the Iran war in late September, saying it needs to end and end quickly. Rogers' public shift on tariffs comes amid mounting opposition in Michigan to Trump's tariffs and GOP concerns that voters will reject their candidates up and down the ballot for failing to address cost-of-living concerns. Election Day is Nov. 3, though more than 200,000 Michiganians have already cast absentee ballots . The Republican Senate hopeful debuted the ad the day before he is set to face off in his first debate against Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Grand Rapids. The 30-second spot features Rogers wearing a flannel shirt and sitting at a bar stool at Bigg's Bar & Grill on Gratiot Avenue in Chesterfield Township. More: Most Michigan voters oppose Trump tariffs on Canada, poll shows In an interview last month, Rogers defended some of Trump's global tariffs and argued they had helped bring some manufacturing back to the U.S., pointing to General Motors Co.'s decision to move production of the Chevy Silverado pickup truck from Mexico to its Orion Township assembly plant. He acknowledged that the tariffs against Canada are going to pinch Michigan consumers and said his team had conversations with the Trump administration about them. This is why you want to send somebody back (to Washington) who can have a conversation about what's working for Michigan and what might not work for Michigan, if you send somebody back that all they want to do is get on TikTok and talk about President Trump, we're not going to fix up one single problem, Rogers told The Detroit News. But if you send a guy like me back, we're going to have this conversation. Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, by contrast, has frequently bashed Trump and Rogers over the ongoing trade war with Michigan's international neighbor. Donald Trump is launching this trade war for his own vanity, and he's asking Michigan families to pay the price ... Trump has been failing Michigan through these chaotic tariffs and bad trade deals for far too long. Mike Rogers won't do anything but rubber stamp them, El-Sayed said in an Aug. 26 statement. When I'm in the United States Senate, I'll fight for real, fair trade deals that create good-paying jobs for Michigan workers and prioritize our families over billionaires and corporate greed. He added that night at a campaign event: Canadians are the only people I know who will preemptively apologize for something they never did ... You gotta be an a------ to pick a trade war with Canada. I'm so sorry, like, they're like the nicest people on Earth. gschwab@detroitnews.com mburke@detroitnews.com Want to comment on this story? Become a subscriber today. Click here.

Christa Pike's condition 'bodes well for a good recovery.' What happens to her next?

Christa Pike is conscious and speaking in the hospital after surviving Tennessee's attempt to execute her last week , an outcome her legal team described as unprecedented, and one that has raised questions about what happens next in her case. Pike, 50, was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of her classmate, Colleen Slemmer, and spent 30 years on death row. Her execution was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30, but two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital failed to kill her. She was taken to the hospital, where she received lifesaving care. Pike's survival has brought intense scrutiny to Tennessee's execution procedures. Gov. Bill Lee suspended the one remaining execution scheduled for this year, and the state's top prison official, Correction Commissioner Frank Strada, is stepping down at the end of October. Pike's lawyers said the resignation was justified, but it does nothing to help Christa now. What happened to her Wednesday reflects a systemic failure that goes far beyond any one person, they said in a statement issued Sunday, according to ABC News . Slemmer's mother, May Martinez , described the situation as a mess and said she was left without justice. What is Christa Pike's condition? When Pike arrived at the hospital, her arms were swollen, burned and blistered, her lawyers wrote in a legal filing Friday. Her lawyers believe the IV lines were placed incorrectly or her veins burst, so that some or all of the drug went into the tissue of her arms instead of her bloodstream. Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care, her legal team wrote in a statement issued Tuesday. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery. Dr. Joel Zivot, a medical expert who has consulted with Pike's legal team, told the Associated Press that the latest update bodes well for a good recovery, but said that the full picture of her long-term health will not be clear for some time. She has recovered to a certain degree that she's able to be off a ventilator and able to speak, but in no way would I announce her free of further serious risk, he said. There's still a lot of bad things that can happen here. Pike, pictured in 2007, is conscious and speaking in the hospital, according to her legal team. via REUTERS / REUTERS Deborah Denno, a criminologist and professor at Fordham Law School, told the BBC that she was absolutely astonished that Pike was conscious and speaking. They did everything they were supposed to do as part of the execution process, and it simply didn't work, she said. This has never happened before. Dr. Zivot told the BBC that her survival was unusual, adding, Most people who get lethal injection die from it. In fact, pretty well everyone, except Christa. Seattle University Law Professor Michael Russo told the Associated Press, There's nobody else in the history of the death penalty in this country who has gone through what she's been through. The incident with Pike comes a handful of months after the botched attempt to execute Tony Carruthers . In May, Tennessee stopped the execution of Carruthers after staff placed an IV into his right arm, but were unable to insert a secondary IV line. What happens next? Tennessee officials have not said whether they will try to execute Pike again or explained what went wrong. Her condition could complicate any future attempt. Under Supreme Court precedent, a person can't be executed unless they have a rational understanding of why they are being put to death, the New York Times reported . Pike's lawyers have called for her sentence to be commuted. Gov. Lee had denied her clemency before the execution attempt. I think at the very least the governor should commute Ms. Pike's death sentence to a life sentence, attorney Stephen Ferrell told CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. We don't know what her physical state will be, but it is clear that she has endured a torturous attempt at executing her. Dr. Zivot said it remains unclear how much pentobarbital entered Pike's system, how much remained in her blood after the injection and what effects she could still experience as she recovers. I would not, in any way, say at this point that all the big risks are behind her, he said. Professor Russo doubted whether the Supreme Court would stop the state from trying again on double jeopardy grounds the constitutional protection against being tried or punished twice for the same offense should it decide to do so. He said, I think what this Supreme Court would say is, her sentence was to die to be executed not to suffer an attempt at execution. We're in uncharted territory, Robin Maher, executive director of the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center, told USA Today . The U.S. Supreme Court has not decided whether a second execution attempt would violate the Constitution since 1947. These are questions that have never needed to be asked before, and no one knows the answers.
