Four days after International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Missouri's congressman used a fee fight between DirecTV and Newsmax to invoke the Nazis. Two months later the two companies settled on a price and the channel came back.
Every other member of Missouri's congressional delegation voted yes. A fellow Missouri Republican brought the resolution to the floor. Burlison voted no — and never said why.
Burlison said Missouri already had laws covering AI deepfakes. Missouri didn't. Lawmakers there have now failed to pass one five times running.

Miller said he had 'absolutely nothing to hide' and asked for an ethics investigation into himself. The committee opened one the same day — into domestic violence and illegal drug use. Trump had already called to tell him things aren't looking good.
