this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

El-Sayed: "If they come for your rights, they're coming for all of our rights. Because rights are rights ... if we're committed that government should be able about providing you the basic needs of a dignified life and protecting your rights, let's all come together around that."

She will make history as the first Native American woman elected to the US Senate.
TEXAS!!!!! This is a great day in US political history and also a great day to be watching it all go down from a country where it’s 5.30pm right now so I can have a drink! 🍾🎉💃🏽

This is false and dangerous rhetoric from Mike Rogers: “The next generation of kids thinks it’s really cool to be against the Jews.”
No Mike, the next generation and my generation and the generations in between are against funding wars in the Middle East.
Mike and others do a great disservice to Jewish people when they imply that opposition to Netanyahu’s wars is equivalent to antisemitism.

Andy Levin reminds people that Stevens beat him in 2022 by arguing that as a pro-choice woman, she was right for the Dobbs moment.
Four years later she’s on the other side of that issue.

That's just not true, Joe!
“My commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to the safety of my own daughters. Antisemitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all its forms. And I stand against any rhetoric that puts the community at risk."
He's said this 1000 times and you guys just ignore it!
Here the thing on Michigan: This is all on El-Sayed. He has never, ever condemned antisemitism and Israel hate. Never. He just hasn’t. And he’s had a million opportunities to do so. He would easily condemn racism against black people. But not antisemitism against Jews. El-Sayed may still win, but he’s the reason this race is super close. He’s the reason black and Jewish voters in Michigan won’t vote Democrat this year. This is all on him.

Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.

DNC Black Caucus chair: “We are dismayed that Congresswoman Haley Stevens has revealed herself to be a sellout who used Black Michiganders for a political stunt. Congresswoman Stevens has lost her way, and Michiganders know that Mike Rogers is a shill for Trump”

Haley Stevens ran her entire primary campaign on the premise that as an Obama staffer she helped save the auto industry and she strongly suggested that Obama was endorsing her. Now Obama is rallying with El-Sayed and the UAW is calling out her “disgusting divide and conquer politics.”

Nothing has made me like Abdul El-Sayed more than the disgusting bigotry and blatant double-standards from his critics.
Mike Rogers is running the most racist senate campaign in the country and people are pretending Abdul’s campaign is the one fomenting hate. If you want to stand against religious intolerance you cannot square that with supporting Rogers.

This is the first election since Q+A started in 2009 that an incumbent Prime Minister has refused to be interviewed.
