A Russian operation made AI deepfakes of a real former student accusing James Talarico of sexual assault. The real student says "it's not me" and that Talarico "never messed with me." The video still passed 850,000 views on X in its first 24 hours.

Here's how it worked.

On October 20, an account that X lists as signed up from Romania posted the video, claiming abuse when Talarico taught middle school in San Antonio. Lead Stories reached the real Zyon Lewis, and he called it "very bad AI." Detection tools rated the videos more than 99% likely to be AI-generated.

Three research teams attribute it to Storm-1516, the same Russian operation that ran fake scandals against Tim Walz in 2024. Fifteen bot accounts shared it right away. About 12 hours later, big verified accounts reposted it, including a pro-GOP account with 185,000 followers, and it exploded. NBC calls it the most prominent example yet of foreign meddling in these midterms.

It's not the only operation. Bloomberg reviewed 130 fake videos and doctored front pages from a second Russian network, called Matryoshka, including fake ABC and CBS clips, AI videos of De Niro and Cher attacking Democrats, and a made-up claim about Jon Ossoff's properties.

On October 21, the top Democrats on both intelligence committees said a classified briefing showed Russia targeting Democrats right now.

Nobody is saying Russia changed votes. It doesn't have to. It makes the lie, and Americans spread it for free.

@kay_stiel Oh yes, episode 5 is the best. Hope life is treating you better now.

@CoryBooker And you are a mockery of a congressman

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@ana_in_tx I have been very tempted to try out a full month off social media to see if I can do it.

@kay_stiel Such a gut wrenching episode.

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@CoryBooker You continue to piss me off daily. You praise the heroics of others while you sink further into being a Corporate Dem and AIPAC shill. You have greatly disappointed and betrayed the American people.

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@DeansMyHero They are all super adorable ☺️

Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it.That's what happens when incarceration rates go down and prisons start to lose money.

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@ukedeanw Don’t know how you made it through season 7. For me, the only season worse than 7 is 15.

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@iwinsoiwin I don’t think we have this in the u.s. We have worthless “perks.” Would be nice if I am wrong.

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@kay_stiel They should pay at least double

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@iwinsoiwin I’ve been debating whether I will go but probably going and making it my last one also.

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@iwinsoiwin Oh wow, I have been mostly off twitter for quite a while. Are they sending you out to CA?

[AdoptDontShopPets @jacklesfanIL]

@waitmaya Omg I had to scroll so far before I saw 31. Others gotta be trolling idk

@airwayszvake Really good show

"Me enteré del asesinato de mi padre por un video de Facebook, lo reconocí inmediatamente, no por su apariencia, sino por su voz, por cómo pedía ayuda mientras se desangraba en la acera".

Lorenzo Salgado, un padre de familia, un obrero de la construcción de 52 años, fue fusilado brutalmente por el ICE de Trump ayer en Houston, Texas (EEUU).

Lorenzo era propietario de un negocio y había estado en el país durante más 35 años.... Trump no está deportando "criminales", está deportando y matando a trabajadores solo por su color de piel y su origen de nacimiento.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
