Worse: Rep Mike Collins used a photo of Jon Ossoff to create a deepfake video putting words into Ossoff's mouth he did not say.
And now he and his campaign are bragging about it and promising to do more

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.

Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.
Dems can say: Are you really sure you want to trust Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? That’s a tenuous position for anyone to put themselves into—and Dems should not hesitate to say so.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

I haven't looked but there HAS to be something she said in her wildly contemptuous oversight hearing in September that conflicts with one of these 4 conflicting claims.
Pam Bondi on Feb. 21: Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now.”
Bondi’s DOJ on July 7: There’s no client list. As for other Epstein files, “no further disclosure would be appropriate.”
Trump on Nov. 14: Investigate Bill Clinton over Epstein.
Bondi, also Nov. 14: Coming right up, boss!

Democratic socialist's Seattle mayoral win is actually in other papers today
You might be thinking, wait, didn't Dems win virtually every election held this year? You're forgetting that in DC, "Democrats are flailing" is not a comment on empirical reality, it is a kind of core ideological truth, a load-bearing pillar in their weltanschauung.

Voters aren’t rejecting government. They are rejecting leaders who can’t run it effectively.
