She unsuccessfully ran for mayor of the city last year, but lost to then-State Senator John Whitmire, also a Democrat. She faced a primary challenge for her congressional seat this year, but won that contest easily. Jackson Lee did not provide details on the severity of the cancer or what her treatment will be. Pancreatic cancer is not often found in the early stages and tends not to present symptoms until it has advanced, according to Mayo Clinic. More than a decade ago, in 2012, Jackson Lee revealed that she had undergone treatment for breast cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, and had made a full recovery. Since then, her work in Congress has included securing millions of dollars in increased funding for breast cancer research.

The Department of Justice refused to release the audio tape of Joe Biden’s disastrous interview with special counsel Robert Hur because it would allegedly spark numerous ‘deep fakes’ of the senile president. From The Hill: The Department of Justice (DOJ) pushed back against the release of audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur, citing concerns that “deep fakes” could emerge. DOJ argued, in a Friday night filing, that if the audio were released, it could end up being altered and passed off as an “authentic” recording which would be shared widely.  “The passage of time and advancements in audio, artificial intelligence, and ‘deep fake’ technologies only amplify concerns about malicious manipulation of audio files,” according to the filing, first obtained by Politico.  “To be sure, other raw material to create a deepfake of President Biden’s voice is already available, but release of the audio recording presents unique risks: if it were public knowledge that the audio recording has been released, it becomes easier for malicious actors to pass off an altered file as the true recording,” the administration added in the 49-page filing.  DOJ officials also said the release of the audio “would harm substantial privacy interests.”  Their argument comes after Biden invoked executive privilege earlier this month to prevent House Republicans from obtaining the recordings of his interview with Hur, who oversaw the investigation into classified documents found in Biden’s private residence and former vice presidential office. A transcript of the interview was released to GOP House members before Hur’s public testimony in March.

President Joe Biden didn’t wait long to use the adjective “convicted felon” when referring to Donald Trump, telling donors at an event on Monday that the former president is a larger “threat” now than he was four years ago, The New York Post reported. The Monday fundraising event at the home of former HBO CEO Richard Plepler in Greenwich, Connecticut, is the first time Biden has publicly called Trump a “convicted felon” after a Manhattan jury handed down a guilty verdict in Trump’s hush-money trial last Thursday. “For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” the president said, according to the Post. “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice,” Biden continued, adding, “Something snapped in him when he lost in 2020,” Biden said. “He can’t accept he lost and it is literally driving him crazy. He is clearly unhinged. Now after his criminal convictions, it’s clear he’s worried about preserving his freedoms.” High-ranking Connecticut Democrats also attended the Biden fundraiser, including Gov. Ned Lamont, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Sen. Chris Murphy, Rep. Jim Himes, and former Sen. Chris Dodd, the Post reported. Biden called Trump a “convicted felon” again at an event in White Plains, New York, on Monday and drew a direct connection from the guilty verdict to the campaign trail. “Folks — the campaign entered unchartered territory last week. For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the presidency,” Biden said. “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.” While the Biden campaign quickly used Trump’s guilty verdict as political fodder, Biden and his advisers have reportedly deliberated on how to address the unprecedented criminal conviction of a former president and the leading presidential candidate for 2024. Days before the jury handed down its verdict, Biden and his team reportedly planned to give an address following the verdict at the White House, not at a campaign event, to avoid the appearance of Biden making a political statement on the trial’s outcome. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Biden made his first comments on the guilty verdict last week, saying, “It’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict.” Trump has blasted Biden, Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and Judge Juan Merchan throughout the trial, arguing that he is being politically targeted. On Friday, Trump wrote that he is “the political prisoner of a failing nation,” adding, “BUT I WILL SOON BE FREE, NOVEMBER 5TH, AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Biden was slammed on Friday for his reaction to a question about Trump referring to himself as a political prisoner. The president stopped, looked back at the reporter, and smiled without answering the question. “Donald Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What’s your response to that, sir?” BIDEN (CONFUSED): *stops* *smirks* *shuffles away* pic.twitter.com/0GKm327Qy1 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 31, 2024
