Hundreds of Fake Pro-Trump Avatars Emerge on Social Media The artificial-intelligence-generated fake influencers have surged on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in an apparent bid to hook conservative voters.

In the months leading up to the midterm elections, hundreds of accounts have emerged on social media featuring A.I.-generated pro-Trump influencers posting at a rapid pace. Several accounts have already amassed thousands followers. Some of the posts have more than half a million views.

He's an evil piece of shit, and after 10 years we're closing in on everyone seeing it

He's *dismissing* hundreds of raped kids—and I bet a lot of people who hear him do so will imagine that he's doing something so otherwise unthinkable because some of those kids were his victims

PS/ Imagine spending weeks being told by Trump and corporate media that Iran has no boats, only to learn that 67% of its boats are IRGC gunboats capable of closing the Strait of Hormuz with ease. DoD got media to ignore this inconvenient fact until it couldn't be ignored anymore.

Upshot: our corporate media is structurally broken in identifiable ways that were possible to ignore in the 2010s but are now a grave danger to our democracy as we head toward Trump's authoritarian endgame.

Be warned—and be vigilant about what you consume and how you consume it.

Trump Has Abandoned His Affordability Promises Trump’s decision to fund war abroad instead of care for families at home isn’t just a dangerous mistake, it's deeply unpopular, write Ai-jen Poo and Reshma Saujani.

"Voters want funding for care, not foreign wars."

A must-read from @reshmasaujani.com and @aijenpoo.bsky.social:

A budget is a declaration of priorities. Trump has made clear that you and your family aren't one of his.

Opinion | Hillary Clinton: How to Fix Affordability

Beyond the gilded walls of Mar-a-Lago, too many families are struggling.

In November, they will look for candidates who will listen to them and lead on behalf of all our kids.

Trump Smears Epstein Victims After Melania’s Demand The president’s comments come a week after Melania Trump dropped a bombshell statement seeking to distance herself from Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump calling Epstein survivors “victims or whatever” tells you everything.
Instead of accountability, he’s minimizing abuse and attacking those who faced it.

We were in the House until 2:30 a.m. last night because of GOP mismanagement of FISA—the law that governs U.S. surveillance authorities.
Rushing something this serious through in the dead of night isn’t governing. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.

Operation Midway Blitz has cost Broadview businesses hundreds of thousands in revenue and cut small business revenue across Illinois by up to 50%.

Trump called the play: “Get David Ellison in charge right away”

That’s the executive branch handing a media empire to a billionaire ally

You know I went there for seven years every summer and I went on a two week canoe in portage trip. We drank the water. That’s how pure the water is. No no motor boat. This is a crime.

But of course they did.

Contaminating water. Displacing wildlife. Destroying the environment. Future severe health issues.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump and Republicans don't care as long as big business makes money.

Yeah, but what can be done about mine? I live in Texas and Greg Abbott just sent all my information in. Can you see Greg Abbott?

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

I love that this is blowing up in her face. She’s been complicit in this entire ordeal. I can’t stand her.

Please clap.

Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth has come up with a way to motivate Iranians to kill more American troops. Instead of framing the war as being against the Iranian regime, which many Iranians dislike and wouldn't fight for, he talks of the war being against their Islamic faith. He's smart that way.

We really do need to shut course Civic in GEO down. It’s our money. I have hope in the midterms that these private prisons human trafficking will end. Crimes against humanity will end. These men will be held accountable. We Americans cannot afford to keep paying them trillions of dollars each year.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.
