Footage of the alleged "attack" on Putin’s residence.

Very convincing, isn’t it?

The video is being widely circulated outside Russia. It is suspected that it is likely aimed at audiences in countries where people are not very familiar with AI technologies.

Jack Smith spent more than 8 hours answering questions in a closed-door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee on Dec 17

It’s worth watching — you can see why Smith wanted to testify publicly — and why the committee waited until New Year’s Eve to release the video

I want to note something about this video of Tehran protests.

As soon as the camera is on the same level with protesters, the entire video is blurred. Not faces, all of it.

This is what you do in a place where govt attention yields torture and death.

May the people of Iran get free in 2026!
"Don't be afraid, we are all together!" 📢 Shopkeepers in Tehran shut down in mass protest as the rial hits a record low of 1,450,000 to the dollar. Economic collapse meets a movement for change. 📉✊ #Tehran #IranProtests #Rial #EconomicCrisis #Iran
