Happy Monday and welcome to PI. Got a lobbying tip? Let’s hear it: coprysko@politico.com. And be sure to follow me on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter: @caitlinoprysko.

JOIN 10/25 FOR A TALK ON THE FUTURE OF GRID RELIABILITY: The EPA’s proposed standards for coal and new natural gas fired power plants have implications for the future of the electric grid. These rules may lead to changes in the power generation mix—shifting to more renewable sources in favor of fossil-fuel plants. Join POLITICO on Oct. 25 for a deep-dive conversation on what it will take to ensure a reliable electric grid for the future. REGISTER NOW.

WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN: K Street’s top firms continued to thrive last quarter, thanks to Congress’ chock full to-do list and a robust regulatory agenda from the Biden administration, as well as sprawling efforts across Washington to wrap its arms around the many unanswered questions surrounding artificial intelligence.

— More than a quarter of the top-grossing firms last quarter reported bringing in eight-figure lobbying revenues, and despite the state of paralysis gripping one chamber of Congress, lobbyists are busy as ever, they told PI.

— “The confusion and uncertainty actually makes our role even more valuable,” said BGR Group’s Loren Monroe, who added that while “it’s not pretty to look at what’s going on on the House floor,” the speakership battle is hardly the most disruptive development for an industry that just a few years ago was grappling with a deadly pandemic and the fallout from an insurrection.

— “There’s a ton of work going on that is relevant to our clients that is not on the front page of the newspapers, but very much has an impact on their business operations and priorities,” he argued.

— Seemingly everyone is beginning to pay more attention to Washington’s efforts to regulate AI, with Monroe calling the industry’s proactiveness on the issue especially notable. But it’s not just industry leaders perking their ears up, said Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s Nadeam Elshami. The technology “cuts all across industry sectors, health care, energy, transportation — you name it,” he told PI. “And that has gotten a lot of our clients and new clients interested in this space.”

— Congress still has to pass spending bills and defense, agriculture and FAA policy bills, and lobbyists are eying health care and tax bills as well. “While the legislative climate remains uncertain in the House, we expect the dam to break soon with a surge in year-end activity,” said Hunter Bates of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld.

PI METRO SECTION: Responsible Statecraft’s Brett Heinz went underground (literally) for a new piece that looks at how the cash-strapped D.C. Metro is bringing in millions in ad revenues from top defense contractors, who are blanketing D.C. Metro stations with niche ads that appeal to the small subset of commuters who hold outsize sway on their bottom lines.

— “The catch is that, technically, advertisers aren’t supposed to be able to do this, as the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA, which operates the greater D.C. metro system) forbids advertisements that ‘are intended to influence public policy.’ But government contractors, reliant on public policy for their survival, are nonetheless allowed to promote their brands and hawk their products to the officials responsible for deciding whether or not to buy from them.”

— Heinz visited Metro stations closest to D.C.’s various seats of power for more than a month, tallying “75 different advertisers, excluding transit agencies. Fifteen received at least $5 million in financial awards from the federal government in fiscal year 2023,” 10 of which were government contractors.

— Per Heinz’s survey, “nine of the 10 advertising contractors count the Department of Defense (DOD) as their largest government customer: Boeing, CACI, General Dynamics, Google, IBM, KPMG, L3Harris, RTX, and SourceAmerica. Ads for McKesson, which does the vast majority of its government contracting for the Department of Veterans Affairs, were spotted only within the McPherson Square station — two blocks away from the VA headquarters.”

AI COPYRIGHT LAWYER BEHIND LETTER TO HILL: “The message in the open letter sent to Congress on Sept. 11 was clear: Don’t put new copyright regulations on artificial intelligence systems. The letter’s signatories were real players, a broad coalition of think tanks, professors and civil-society groups with a stake in the growing debate about AI and copyright in Washington,” POLITICO’s Brendan Bordelon reports.

— “Undisclosed, however, were the fingerprints of Sy Damle, a tech-friendly Washington lawyer and former government official who works for top firms in the industry — including OpenAI, one of the top developers of cutting-edge AI models. Damle is currently representing OpenAI in ongoing copyright lawsuits.”

— “The letter’s covert origin offers a window into the deep and often invisible reach of Big Tech influence in the Washington debate over AI — a fast-moving part of the policy landscape where Congress is hungry for outside advice, and which is still new enough to create strange political bedfellows. Signatories included the American Library Association, the progressive nonprofit Public Knowledge and the free-market R Street Institute.”

THE UNSANCTIONED PRO-ISRAEL LOBBYISTS TAKING D.C. BY STORM: “This past week, an unlikely pair of men sat down for breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club, a Republican gathering site just a stone’s throw from Congress, to plot ways to help Israel. On one side of the table was Rep. Paul Gosar, a firebrand Republican who has faced criticism for ties to white nationalists. On the other was Bobby Rechnitz, a Los Angeles real estate developer dubbed a ‘confidant’ of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

— The scene was one of many playing out across the nation’s capital since the Israel-Hamas war broke out earlier this month, Hailey Fuchs and I report, as “a ragtag group of donors, activists and allies … have moved swiftly these past two weeks to help Israel. They have leveraged their political clout, their relationships with lawmakers and their fundraising networks to do so.”

— “Their overarching goal is to shape how elected officials in the U.S. react to the crisis. But their work also underscores how much of the political fight around the nascent war is being done on the fly; and how much is being waged in unconventional theaters: college campuses, corporate boardrooms, K Street offices and stuffy Capitol Hill restaurants.”

THE FIGHT OVER HYDROGEN TAX BREAKS: “Big energy producers are sparring over billions of dollars in subsidies from last year’s climate law, a fight that pits the Biden administration’s goals for economic growth against its efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions,” The Wall Street Journal’s Amrith Ramkumar and Richard Rubin write.

— “The battle is over subsidies to produce clean hydrogen, a potential alternative to oil and natural gas in industries such as steelmaking and trucking where renewable energy and batteries alone aren’t adequate. The administration is weighing how strictly to define what energy sources can be used to make clean hydrogen and still be eligible for some of the most valuable tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act.”

— Power companies like NextEra “say the subsidies should be widely available — even to companies that generate carbon emissions — to spur the growth of a hydrogen industry seen as crucial to limiting climate change in the long run,” and are making their case in ads in media outlets and discussions with administration officials, with backing from labor groups.

— Other companies and environmental groups are firing back with their own appeals, arguing “the money should go to businesses that use only renewable energy, which could mean slower development and fewer new jobs.”
