The bottom line: Democratic campaigns need to be ready for this. And our response cannot be limited to flacking reporters. We need compelling, authentic video content that pushes back on these bad-faith attacks. In a world of AI slop, authenticity stands out.

If you’re stuck explaining why this deepfake is a problem, you’re already losing — the quote being real makes it harder to cut through, even though it is still a deepfake.

Today, and not for the first time this cycle, the NRSC pushed a deepfake of a Democratic Senate candidate. This time it was Graham Platner, but Republicans are going to deploy this tactic widely. Just last month, @C_and_E quoted me warning about this exact problem.

I cannot conceive of a less hospitable place to have a drink

Critique the $5 billion they’ve already spent on munitions fighting Trump’s oil war in Iran, not the crab they buy for troops who have had their deployments extended.

Protesting is a fundamental constitutional right. Freedom from warrantless searches is a fundamental constitutional right. Lawful gun ownership is a fundamental constitutional right. When those rights are met with deadly force by federal agents, it demands moral clarity, not silence. 🧵

Together, we hit $100,000 in 24 hours. I’m grateful for your support, and ready to fight to cut costs, protect clinics, and keep opportunity in Alaska.

I am deeply saddened to hear the news from my dear friend Congressman @GerryConnolly. Over more than 30 years of service — from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to Congress — Gerry has been a tireless and principled advocate and public servant for our community, always standing up for what he believes in and putting the needs of his constituents first.  I have been honored to work with him and to call him, and his wonderful family, true friends.  Gerry has always been a fighter, as he has shown us time and again throughout his career. I will continue to stand with him as he faces this next fight.  I am grateful for his leadership, his friendship, and his extraordinary contributions to Virginia and our nation.

Excited to share that I'm joining the indomitable @DSCC team to help get Democrats elected to the Senate. Ready to get to work!

@HGCreativemedia I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Martin Hamburger, @KevinPWalling, and the entire HGC team again. If you’re looking to collaborate with a forward-thinking TV and digital media team driven by passion, strategy, and creativity, let’s connect. My DMs are open.

I'm thrilled to be returning to @HGCreativeMedia as SVP, Campaigns! HGC blends bold, convention-breaking creative and digital-first strategy for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot, and I’m excited to be back with this incredible team.

The US economy shed $5+ trillion in value in the last 48 hours. Trump’s tariffs have taken a strong Democrat-built economy to the brink of recession virtually overnight. Why are we, as a party, splitting hairs to argue why tariffs can *checks notes* be good sometimes?

An essay as a social graphic and a 17-minute direct-to-camera launch video… did I miss a 2024 autopsy that concluded the Democrats’ problem was not enough words?

Jonathan Greenblatt and the @ADL should be ashamed. Instead of standing against hate, they have chosen to ignore their central mission in favor of sycophancy. They have failed the Jewish people and should be relegated from the mainstream Jewish movement.

And Google Search ads are legitimately critical but too often an afterthought.
