☆ Sen. Blumenthal plans action against telemarketing scams masquerading as political, charitable causes
  + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Brian Schwartz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Sen. Richard Blumenthal is moving ahead with new legislative efforts to combat telemarketing scams that have raised millions of dollars while pretending to represent political and charitable causes. Blumenthal announced on Monday a new oversight and legislative fight to take on those that use telemarketing calls, online scams, and other schemes to effectively steal millions of dollars from donors. Contributors think they are donating to real causes but they're tricked into giving to fake organizations, with their leaders ending up keeping the money for themselves. The Connecticut Democrat's first step was to send letters to the chairs of the Federal Election Commission and the Federal Trade Commission as part of his larger inquiry. He wrote a similar letter to FTC chair Lina Khan.

Everyone else has to meet a far higher standard to be allowed to file a full asylum application and face an immigration judge.

He is prohibited by law from transferring that “soft” money — dollars raised without federally imposed limits — into a presidential campaign. “Can he take that money, which was raised through his state PAC, and use it to advance his presidential campaign directly or through a federal super PAC supporting him?” said Saurav Ghosh, a former F.E.C. enforcement lawyer who is now the director of federal campaign finance reform at the Campaign Legal Center, a watchdog group. Representatives of Mr. DeSantis did not respond to requests for comment. Should he decide to run for president, he will be a grass-roots-fueled force to be reckoned with.”
☆ Attention Gmail users: Your inboxes are about to get way more spammy with political email thanks to a new ruling by federal regulators

Google asked federal regulators to OK a plan for easing spam filters on political emails. Even a commissioner who wasn't thrilled with the notion of unleashing more political emails on an overloaded electorate concluded Google's program proposal is legal. "If people want political spam, let them sign up for it. Before the final vote Thursday, Weintraub motioned to approve a alternate ruling that would have effectively prevented Google from launching its pilot program. Gmail users will retain the right to opt-out of receiving political emails, but this will require more vigilance on their part.
