Mula sa Korapsyon tungo sa Pananagutan: Pagbabago sa Pay-to-Play na Pulitika sa Atlanta

Sa loob ng mga dekada, ang lungsod ng Atlanta ay nahaharap sa institusyonal na katiwalian, na humahadlang sa potensyal nito bilang isang kultural, negosyo, at internasyonal na hub. Inilantad ng Common Cause Georgia ang katiwaliang ito sa pamamagitan ng isang bagong ulat na pinamagatang "The Atlanta Way: Examining Pay-to-Play."

Mga Karaniwang Pangarap: Inanunsyo ng FCC ang Bagong Panuntunan upang Harapin ang Mga Deepfake na Robocall

Sinabi ni Ishan Mehta, direktor ng programa ng media at demokrasya para sa Common Cause, na ang mga tawag sa New Hampshire noong nakaraang buwan ay kumakatawan lamang sa "top of the iceberg" at nagbabala na "napakahalaga na gamitin ngayon ng FCC ang awtoridad na ito upang pagmultahin ang mga lumalabag at harangan ang mga kumpanya ng telepono na nagdadala ng mga tawag."

Nanawagan si Mehta sa Kongreso na ipasa ang Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act, na magbabawal sa pamamahagi ng mapanlinlang na audio, mga larawan, o video na binuo ng AI na nauugnay sa mga pederal na kandidato sa mga pampulitikang ad.

FCC Outlaws AI Robocalls

Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unanimously voted to outlaw robocalls that utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) voice-cloning tools. Long a matter of concern, the issue made national headlines when the technology was utilized to mimic President Biden’s voice in robocalls in the runup to the New Hampshire primary. Those calls are currently under investigation by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office. The FCC ban is effective immediately.

Trump SCOTUS Defense Does not Deny Insurrection, Insists on Presidential Exemption

In our nation no one is above the law. Not even former presidents. It is telling that Donald Trump’s lawyer in the Supreme Court today made no effort to assert that his client had not fomented an insurrection. He did not refute that Donald Trump on January 6 directed heavily-armed militants to go the Capitol to “fight like hell” to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election as part of his attempt to deny the will of the people and steal the election.

PolitiFact/Austin American-Statesman: Elon Musk wrong to say Joe Biden is recruiting immigrants to create a Democratic majority

It’s easy to discount such "conspiracy theory nonsense" from random trolls on X, but it’s powerful when it comes from Musk, who owns the platform, said Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a group that advocates for voting rights.

Democracies require participation, and falsehoods "only increase the likelihood that people will lose faith in our elections and simply opt out," Gutierrez said.

USA Today: Hawaii looks to combat AI-generated deepfakes and disinformation ahead of 2024 elections

The legislation has also received support from non-profit pro-democracy groups such as Public Citizen and Common Cause Hawaii. Camron Hurt, program manager for Common Cause Hawaii, called the threat of AI deepfakes “a big issue for democracy right now.”

“The cat’s out of the bag, technology has outpaced our laws. But now we must catch up and it’s important that we spearhead and that we help lead that charge and make sure that harmful AI deep fakes and alike are removed from any way of being in our elections," Hurt said.

Lincoln Journal Star (Op-Ed): Paggalang sa isang kompromiso

Kung magiging bagong dahon ang sesyon sa 2024 gaya ng pakiusap ni Speaker Arch, kailangang igalang ni Sen. Halloran ang kanyang kasunduan. Anumang mga pagtatangka na magpasa ng isang resolusyon ng Artikulo V ay dapat na itigil hanggang 2027. Ang pagtupad sa mga pangako at kompromiso para sa kanilang buong termino ay talagang magiging isang "modelo" para sa ibang mga lehislatura ng estado.

Democracy Docket: How Should SCOTUS Apply Section 3 of the 14th Amendment? Amicus Briefs in Trump’s Disqualification Case Have Different Answers

Common Cause reminds the Court that the Constitution possesses checks and balances for the very expressed purpose of preserving constitutional order. Their brief highlights many restrictions on who voters can select including restrictions on age and term limits.

The Framers of the Constitution recognized that protecting democracy would require “uncommon portion of fortitude”...
