At the top, a red “exclusive” box is above white text from an NBC headline that reads, “Proposed AI fraud bill seeks to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials,” overlayed a darkened picture of the Capitol. At the bottom is a photo of Rep. Ted Lieu outlined in red with a tweet from Jared Polo that reads, “Exclusive: New proposed AI fraud bill will seek to criminalize deepfakes of federal officials (outside of satire, etc.) The bill, from @RepTedLieu (D-Ca.) and @DrNealDunnFL2 (R-Fl.), would also update definitions and penalties for fraud to account for the rise of AI” and a screenshot from the top of Rep. Lieu's bill.

Pleased to introduce the AI Fraud Deterrence Act today with Rep. Dunn which would expand penalties for AI scams and deepfakes, including impersonations of federal officials.

Our bipartisan goal is simple: Deter people from using AI to commit fraud.

“Americans feel like prices are rising in each and every single part of their lives.”

Republicans are more focused on billionaire parties than you.

Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office

Credit where it’s due. But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this new framing comes out after a Democratic wave election, the ascendance (and surprisingly broad acceptance) of Mamdani, and his steadily crashing poll numbers.

BREAKING: Trump Sends Kushner and Witkoff to Moscow as Leaked Tapes Rock the “Peace Plan” Six months ago I told you Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Kirill Dmitriev were the real ones running Trump’s Ukraine “peace” game — leaked tapes, Miami meetings, and a planned Moscow trip.

BREAKING: Trump Sends Kushner and Witkoff to Moscow as Leaked Tapes Rock the “Peace Plan” You mean Vanky's hubby? The slumlord of Baltimore? He wants a piece of Ukraine? Of course he does. Because everything Trumpy does is based on profit potential. open.substack.com/pub/levremem...

The only Republican speaking with clarity on this issue. Sad that he’s the only one.

Nothing to see here. Just DHS Nazis treating a quiet American neighborhood like Fallujah...
