Kennedy said he and Shanahan hold similar values around everything from education and agriculture to skepticism of “Big Pharma” and the government.
“And you know what? Despite the artificially orchestrated divisions, nearly all Americans share the same values that we do”
Shanahan told Newsweek last month that […] calling Kennedy or anyone else an “anti-vaxxer” is “so unfair to the cause of objectively funding scientific research.”

Stephen Richer, who presided over the county’s 2022 election, filed a defamation claim against Lake in June alleging that she “repeatedly and falsely accused" him of causing her electoral defeat in the race for governor won by Democrat Katie Hobbs.
The lawsuit pointed to a series of Lake’s election denialism claims, among them that she falsely claimed that Richer had misprinted ballots “so that the tabulators would jam all day long.” In another instance, her campaign’s Twitter account claimed that Richer “sabotaged” Election Day.
Lake railed against Richer’s lawsuit Tuesday in a video statement on X.
“By participating in this lawsuit, it would only serve to legitimize this perversion of our legal system and allow bad actors to interfere in our upcoming election,” she said. "So I won’t be taking part.

Pritchard, a conservative talk show host, must pay a $5,000 fine and receive a public reprimand from the State Election Board, according to the decision by Administrative Law Judge Lisa Boggs.
Pritchard has previously alleged the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent on his show, but now he has been found to have voted illegally.
Pritchard pleaded guilty in 1996 to forgery and theft charges involving $38,000 worth of checks that he deposited while working on a construction job, according to court records from Alleghany County, Pennsylvania.
Attorneys for the state said in court that Pritchard knew he was still serving his sentence because records show he appeared in Pennsylvania court for probation revocation hearings in 1999, 2002 and 2004. Pritchard denied that he was present in court in 2002 or 2004.

Since the previous US presidential election, the advance of artificial intelligence has opened a front in the information wars. Pink slime outlets can wield AI to spew out mundane content based on publicly available data, on top of articles designed to manipulate opinion, particularly in battleground states.
“Any swing state, any swing Senate race is going to have AI-generated phoney websites,” says Steven Brill, co-chief executive of NewsGuard. “The whole thing is going to be a shitshow.”
With generative AI technologies making it easier than ever to create convincing articles, “the barriers to entry for someone who wants to set up a network of pink slime sites is lower than they have ever been,” said Alex Mahadevan, director of MediaWise at the Poynter Institute. “You’re going to see them targeting these news deserts.”

It had been pursuing what they called a “unity ticket,” featuring centrist candidates. No Labels repeatedly said their impetus was to give an alternative choice to voters unsatisfied with Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
As 2024 progressed, several politicians considered possible No Labels candidates made it clear that they weren’t interested. West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced in February that he wouldn’t run for president. In March, Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema told reporters she wouldn’t run, either. Recent Republican presidential candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley also last month said she would not run with the group.
