The White House posted a digitally altered image showing a demonstrator involved in interrupting a church service in Minnesota last weekend crying as she was arrested on Thursday.
A previous version of the image, also posted by an official government account, showed her looking forward calmly.

White House Posts Altered Photo Showing Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying
The New York Times ran the image posted by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, as well as the one posted by the White House through an A.I. detection system. It concluded that the White House’s version showed signs of manipulation.

There are a bunch of non-voters who frequent a dive bar I go to. They're 20-40 yrs old, mostly white, with no higher than a HS education, working low-wage jobs or not at all. No healthcare. They consume no news, but lots of video games. They care abt covering their bar tab and cigs.
We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.

I think he would honestly benefit from not saying these things. It's true that he has no ability to move legislation.
I think the message would land a lot better from incumbent and disempowered Democrats throwing a huge shit fit than pleading to the better angels of Republicans.

Circling back in the new year on those 5.2 million Epstein files the DOJ suddenly discovered over the Christmas break. When is the public going to see those? Why weren’t they previously disclosed or investigated? Seems pretty important.
