Update: At one point at today’s marathon House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Wi) asked Special Counsel Robert Hur, “Did you find that the president was senile?”
“I did not. That conclusion does not appear in my report, Congressman,” Hur said.
Hur, who investigated Biden’s handling of classified material, concluded that no charges should be filed against the president in his report, released last month. But he also set of a firestorm among Biden and his supporters for suggesting that he was in cognitive decline.
That made his a target of Democrats’ criticism throughout the morning, but he also was grilled by Republicans on the decision not to prosecute Biden, as his rival in 2024, Donald Trump, makes claims that he is being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department.
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-pa) questioned Hur on why he claimed that Biden could not remember when his son,...

As sexually graphic AI-generated images of Taylor Swift flooded X (formerly Twitter) yesterday, causing the phrase “Taylor Swift AI” to trend on the platform, the singer’s fans grew apoplectic. They fumed that the site (whose content moderation team has been all but entirely dissolved by owner Elon Musk) wasn’t acting quickly enough to take down the posts, which violated X’s community guidelines, or ban the accounts responsible. One of the most viral tweets stayed up 17 hours and drew some 45 million views.

A bipartisan coalition of House lawmakers have introduced a long-awaited bill to prohibit the publication and distribution of unauthorized digital replicas, including deepfakes and voice clones.
The legislation, proposed on Wednesday, is intended to give individuals the exclusive right to greenlight the use of their image, voice and visual likeness by conferring intellectual property rights at the federal level.

Updated, with MPA comment: House lawmakers introduced legislation to try to curb the unauthorized use of deepfakes and voice clones.
The legislation, the No AI Fraud Act, is sponsored by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-fl), Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-pa), Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-tx), Rep. Joe Morelle (D-ny) and Rep. Rob Wittman (R-va). The legislation would give individuals more control over the use of their identifying characteristics in digital replicas. It affirms that every person has a “property right in their own likeness and voice,” and do not expire upon a person’s death. The rights can be transferred to the heirs or designees for a period of 10 years after the individual’s death. It sets damages at $50,000 for each unauthorized violation by a personalized cloing service, or the actual damages suffered plus profits from the use. Damages are set at $5,000 per violation for unauthorized publication, performance, distribution or transmission of a...

Last month, lawyers conducting welfare visits to Texas Customs and Border Protection facilities revealed that detained migrants are being held in conditions more appalling and inhumane than most could have imagined. They found filthy, cramped women and children who had been deprived of basic hygiene and forced to sleep on concrete floors. Physician Dolly Lucio Sevier wrote in her medical declaration that the conditions could be compared to those of “torture facilities.”
On Monday, a delegation of lawmakers visited border facilities in El Paso and Clint. Among them were Rep.
