The UK government just proposed pushing "trusted" news, so the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, to the top of YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook feeds and search results. Platforms can do it voluntarily... or eventually be made to. Breaking down the whole thing on tomorrow's show. Where do you land?

Between deepfakes, AI memes, and government accounts posting synthetic content, the line between real and fake is getting blurry as hell. Especially with midterms coming up. Let me know:

Should political campaigns and government accounts be required to label AI-generated content?

FINE! I Won’t Gatekeep lol. Yall kept asking where I got my outfits this week so 1. The answers are below and 2. To do something light and maybe fun before we jump back into the dumpster fire tomorrow select your favorite look.

ICE Agent POV of Renee Good Shooting was just released. It's from the cell phone of Jonathan Ross, the agent who killed Renee Good.

Her last words were "It's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." It looks like she is trying to turn away from the ICE Agent who stepped partially back in front of her vehicle as another tries to enter open her door, and after he shot her, with two of the shots being from the side, he called her a "F****** B****”.

Despite it showing Renee turning the wheel to go around the agent because another ICE agent is trying to open her car door, you're seeing MAGA say this is actually proof the mom of 3 with her dog in the car, who said, "I'm not mad at you", was actually a domestic terrorist who wanted and tried to killed the ICE agent.

SHOULD BURNING THE AMERICAN FLAG BE ILLEGAL?

Trump appears to be setting up a Supreme Court battle with his new Executive Order arguing that "burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot". With Trump saying, "If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail".

While the Supreme Court has previously said flag burning is protected under the 1st amendment, we now have a much more conservative, heavily Trump appointed Supreme Court in place today.

Trump’s DOJ and FBI have reportedly concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not keep a client list, did not blackmail powerful figures, and was not murdered.

So today’s poll, as I start filming today’s show for you is: Do you believe their conclusions are true?

See you later today!
