The availability of deep-fake tech has enabled fake news peddlers to reach audiences they never dreamed of. Passing a lie off as the truth makes it easy to convince people to believe something that doesn't really exist. This is very dangerous and can have considerable consequences: destroying reputations, upsetting relationships, and even disrupting elections.

Ted Cruz's reelection campaign in the Texas senate race has gone from bad to worse for the widely despised Senator. New polls show that while Cruz still holds a narrow lead (that is within the margin of error of the polls) he has yet to cross the 50% mark in any of the polls, meaning that his opponent, Colin Allred, has a good chance of scooping up undecided voters and winning. While nothing is set in stone and a lot could change, these are horrible signs for Cruz and Republicans. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.
