NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

Something I notice in a lot of hetslop is that female characters other than the protagonist fall into two categories: evil bitches who want to steal her man, or fawning handmaidens whosqueal how awesome and great she is 24/7. Other women aren't really 'allowed' to be the protagonist's equal.

MAGA fans on Truth Social were apparently pissed at Trump's endorsement because they (wrongly) believed that Hassan is Muslim newrepublic.com/post/213678/...

"Congressional candidate Amir Hassan, whom President Donald Trump endorsed... trails rival Thomas J. Smith, who suspended his campaign and endorsed another candidate less than three weeks before Election Day." can any Michigan understanders explain this one www.newsweek.com/trump-endors...

Trump-endorsed Michigan candidate loses to rival who stopped campaigning

Thomas J. Smith's lead exceeds the estimated number of remaining ballots, leaving Amir Hassan with no path to victory.
