North Carolinians are facing a confusing stream of letters warning voters they must update missing personal information by the Oct. 9 deadline. The mailers are another barrier to voting that makes some voters question whether they should bother casting a ballot at all: demdock.com/4rTwVrB

Q: If Johnson called the House back, they would have to immediately vote on Whiskey Pete Hegseth impeachment and not long after vote on Epstein, right? www.axios.com/newsletters/...
Tomorrow's Trump-Johnson AI summit with top tech CEOs suddenly looks a lot more consequential than it did just 72 hours ago.

🤖 Why it matters: Speaker Mike Johnson's preferred solution on AI — to let the companies take the lead on hashing out their own guardrails — is colliding with evidence that they're struggling to control their own creations.

🔥 In the last three days alone:

Axios scooped that AI companies are probing tens of thousands of incidents from frontier AI, including "bypassing guardrails, creating message boards, escaping sandboxes, website hijacking, self-prompting or seeking to bypass monitors."
The state of Florida asked a court for a temporary injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, saying the company can't self-regulate.
AI pioneers warned that AI could self-improve so quickly that the "intelligence explosion" would leave governments and institutions without much time to respond.
⛔️ Zoom in: Johnson has rebuffed calls to bring the House back into session, arguing lawmakers don't have anything ready to pass, while warning against the dangers of overregulation.

Thom Tillis is, to a large extent, a blowhard, but this view on Kari Lake and Wesley Hunt is actually pretty astute. Recall that Ric Grenell, who was known to have ALL SORTS of security conflicts, got to play Acting DNI for a period, clearing way for John Ratcliffe www.semafor.com/article/09/1...
Asked about Hunt’s nomination, Tillis told Semafor, “I gotta look into the details.”

“Right now, with the limited number of session days that we have left, if they don’t get into an en bloc package, they’re going to die,” Tillis continued. “That’s how I’m holding Kari Lake. I mean, there’s some people saying, ‘Please let her go to Jamaica,’ but the reality is once she gets Senate confirmed, she could go other places in acting roles. And that’s what I’m not going to allow.”
