Speakers:

A House–Senate committee of conference met to reconcile S.23, a bill on synthetic media in elections. Members broadly agreed to adopt New Hampshire-style disclosure language for deceptive synthetic media and accepted several Senate edits, but disagreed over whether protections should apply to any individual or only political candidates; counsel flagged a California court ruling raising First Amendment questions.
