On the Fox News website, they have the real video and the fake one together -- the real one twice (top and bottom in image) and then this older video from December 2025 presented as this weekend (middle)

The Death of the Cheap Laptop Is Coming Hunger for AI hardware is triggering a price surge across tech devices, and affordable laptops are the first casualty.

Whether you use AI or not, it’s probably going to impact your life this year β€” and we're not just talking about search results or slop. The land war to build AI data centers is driving up the price of the computers and other devices you may try to buy.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Translation: The stock market is heading down and the employment market is tenuous (2025 was the worst year for employment since 2003, well, actually 2020, during Trump's portion of the Pandemic).

Justice Alito’s latest opinion is a very, very bad sign for voting rights A decision upholding a New York GOP congressional district could be a prelude to killing the Voting Rights Act.

Even by his standards Alito’s opinion in NY redistricting case last night was totally unhinged. If he’s writing majority opinion in Voting Rights Act case that’s very very bad news www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

No envy for Texas voters that have to choose between Crockett and Talarico today.

Okay, a little envy.

Fine, I'm jealous as hell that y'all got TWO candidates I'd go to the mat for.

The lying. The deflection. The arrogance. The shifting rationale in support of an illegal war. The refusal to consult Congress. The fact that he casually discusses draperies while American soldiers are dying. The cowardice of a political party that won’t take action to stop his rampant lawlessness

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
