Nina Moore of @colgateuniv, Tara Ross of Onondaga Community College, @DrBenBaughman of @GannonU, Jennifer Stromer-Galley and Grant Reeher of @SyracuseU discuss the impact of deepfakes on American voters. Can the average voter tell the difference between fact and fiction? Plus, how are these ads contributing to the increase in partisanship? However, some of the worst ads from this election have been generated organically.

Interesting though wrong on most counts. My 7th book on gun policy due out in a few weeks. Happy to sign a copy for you if you send my way. Have a nice day.

Not hard to figure what the Sup. Court is likely to rule when it takes up the constitutionality of assault weapons laws this fall-but one hopes it will consider what these laws are about. My piece: theconversation.com/why-the-…

This great piece by @JRakove is even more impt after today's outrageous decision on voting & elections. Roberts & his five fellow radical partisan hacks rewrite or ignore history & the vision of the framers to fit their own ideological & partisan views. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…
