Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

Tweet from Hillary Clinton

For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath.

They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction.

So let's stop the games.

If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer let's have it — in public.

You love to talk about transparency. There's nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.

We will be there.

Update on this story. Here’s a statement from the Salem (OR) Police Department.

• Salem Police Incident Report: Thursday, January 29
On January 29, the Salem Police Department received a call that a Salem resident had been forcibly removed from her vehicle and injured during an encounter with individuals who identified themselves as federal law enforcement.
The call, from the daughter of the involved woman, was received thirty minutes after the incident had ended. There was no active scene for officers to respond to or intervene in.
The complainant told dispatch her mother would not speak directly with anyone immediately after the incident. The dispatcher asked the caller whether her mother needed medical assistance. The daughter stated that she would be taking her mother to the hospital and did not request medical assistance or transport from the City.
• Subsequent Follow Up
A Salem Police sergeant then contacted the complainant and explained that when a complaint concerns law enforcement misconduct, officers direct the involved party to the investigating agency that has jurisdictional authority to investigate the incident, and advised her to contact the FBI or Department of Homeland Security.

• Salem Police Response Procedure
When a disturbance such as this occurs and Salem Police are alerted in real time, officers are dispatched to the scene to document the incident and take steps to deescalate the situation. When police are alerted after the fact, and the complaint is regarding law enforcement misconduct, officers direct the involved party to the investigating agency that has jurisdictional authority to investigate the incident.
• Federal Oversight
Because the individuals involved are members of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the department advised the complainant to file a report with the FBI or Department of Homeland Security.
Complaints about conduct by ICE or other DHS personnel may be filed with the Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties online.
If you witnessed the incident or have video or other information, please contact the police department at 503-588-6123 and refer to incident number:
2026-00008491. Salem Police will cooperate fully with federal oversight offices and any other investigating authorities.
We understand this incident and many other incidents involving federal law enforcement have caused concern in our community. The City and the Salem Police Department remain committed to the safety and dignity of all community members.

I got threatened for this article and more. Now that people FINALLY admit the DOJ is complicit, consider who pushed the "Garland/Mueller/DOJ will stop Trump" narrative hard.

Those are mafia state propagandists. They are still going. Stay away from them.
