The US may be headed for a rough flu season, with a virus that causes more severe symptoms than the one last year and seems to be spreading more rapidly and earlier than usual.

This is completely insane.

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

FACT CHECK: TRUE
Deep fake created by the campaign of Mike Collins, Republican candidate for ossoff’s senate seat. Desperation drives shamelessness I suppose.
Jon Ossoff warned about deepfakes. Now he is one.
A Mike Collins campaign video uses AI to make Sen. Jon Ossoff say outlandish things. A proposed state law would rein in such uses of AI in campaigns.

Georgia: With most of the early vote tallied, the margin for the two Democrats that appear set to flip statewide Public Service Commission is (for now) about 20 points.
Even with final margin TBD + caveats about the unusual electorate situation, it's a strong sign for Ds.
