In an interview at the Colorado State Capitol, the governor said his commutation was not an attempt to placate #Trump [sure], who has leveled a barrage of #funding cuts & #policy attacks at #Colorado in a hostile effort to free #TinaPeters.
Instead, Polis said he believed that Peters, a nonviolent first-time offender, had received too harsh a sentence because of her embrace of #ConspiracyTheories about Trump’s 2020 election loss. [cuz yeah, who cares about #democracy]

In comments made on a podcast he hosted while running for Alabama state Senate in 2022, Christine questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
He also advocated for #abortion bans without exceptions for #rape or incest & suggested there may have been a worldwide effort involving George Soros & figures associated with the WEF’s “Great Reset” to use the #pandemic to force small businesses to close.

He once hosted a YouTube show called “Erection Connection,” a professional YouTube series on erectile dysfunction for fellow urologists.
A CNN review of archived podcast episodes, social media posts & radio appearances found that Christine repeatedly framed #PublicHealth institutions, the federal government & #pandemic-era policies as tools used to target conservatives & religious Americans.

Before he joined the #Trump admin last year, Christine was an Alabama-based urologist who specialized in penile implants. He has little #PublicHealth experience & a history of #FarRight commentary & promoting #ConspiracyTheories. He’s said the #Covid pandemic led to a wider government plot to control people, compared the Biden administration to Nazi Germany & suggested the Covid #vaccine had little effect in stopping the #pandemic.

No joke
Penile implant doctor with #AntiVax & #FarRight #ConspiracyTheories history led the government’s #hantavirus presser
As the #Trump admin sought to reassure Americans this week that a hantavirus #outbreak posed little risk to the public, Dr. Brian Christine, one of Trump’s top #PublicHealth officials in charge of #InfectiousDisease policy, stood before reporters in Nebraska promising a response “grounded in science” & “grounded in transparency.”

This article is MSN-syndicated and has no paywall. “The nighttime missives often include some of the president’s sharpest and most divisive messaging, amplifying conspiracy theories, describing migrants as a threat to the country, threatening to punish his adversaries and mocking his […]

"Analysts increasingly describe modern #antisemitism as a convergence phenomenon — where far-left anti-#Zionism, far-right #conspiracy culture, #online #radicalization and broader political nihilism begin feeding one another. #Jews become symbolic targets onto which fractured societies project anger and distrust. As #JoshKaplan recently reminded us in The Free Press, the late #Rabbi Lord #JonathanSacks warned that “antisemitism is a projection, and is caused not by Jews but by internal conflicts in the societies that give rise to it.” That diagnosis feels painfully relevant now.
#America is experiencing a broader coarsening of civic life. Political rage has become performative. #Socialmedia rewards outrage over restraint. #Conspiracytheories spread faster than facts. Institutions are distrusted almost by default. In such an environment, antisemitism flourishes because it offers unstable movements a visible villain onto whom complex frustrations can be pinned."

The work is raising alarms among some #vaccine scholars & critics of #RFKJr, who have long accused the secretary of cherry-picking data & misinterpreting studies to claim that #vaccines are unsafe & to limit their use. They fear RFKJr will use the findings to further erode confidence in vaccines, which the World Health Organization estimates saved 154 million lives over the past half-century.

The wide-ranging inquiry is a top priority for #RFKJr, who sees #vaccines as a “potential culprit” in various #neurological &#autoimmune disorders, including #asthma & #allergies [absurd]. It resurrects research into a number of ideas RFKJr has espoused, including whether vaccines are linked to #autism & whether thimerosal, a preservative that has largely been removed from vaccines in the #US but remains in some flu shots, is dangerous.

#RFKJr Is Driving a Vast Inquiry Into #Vaccines Despite Recent Public Silence
“Health” Secy Robert F Kennedy Jr has toned down his public criticism of vaccines, under orders from the White House. But inside the #HHS, a sprawling “research” effort is top priority.

“Unfortunately, when governments or institutions are hiding the truth about what they’re up to or they’re playing fast & loose with certain regulations or they’re not imposing certain laws on different people,” Donovan said, “it is much easier to believe in a conspiracy against oneself than it is to believe that the system has become rotted.”

Jared Holt, a snr researcher at the online extremism tracking group Open Measures, said the statistics show how conspiratorial thinking is becoming more common in the US.
“Those poll numbers don’t terribly shock me. They’re definitely bleak,” Holt said. “Conspiracy theorizing has infected our body politic now to the point where it has become a gut reflex for a seemingly growing portion of the population.”#TrumpLies #Trump #PerformancePolitics #BreadAndCircuses #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #media

Joan Donovan, a Boston University professor who researches media manipulation, said the results are an indicator of the role of showmanship in #Trump’s presidency. “It just seems incredibly Hollywood to imagine that this is staged,” Donovan said of the correspondents’ dinner shooting. “The entire apparatus of the government has been turned into a reality TV show.”

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Researchers say AI chatbots may blur the line between reality and delusion
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260509210652.htm
A new study suggests AI chatbots may do more than spread misinformation — they can actively strengthen a user’s false beliefs. Because conversational AI often validates and builds on what users say, it can make distorted memories, conspiracy theories, or delusions feel more believable and emotionally real. Researchers warn that AI companions may be especially risky for isolated or vulnerable people seeking reassurance and connection.
