Documents reveal the Pentagon spent over $9 million on "large-scale deception" operations targeting American citizens, including payments to Reuters and Politico. Mark Mitchell claims Rasmussen Reports was targeted by these disinformation campaigns to delist the agency from polling aggregates like 538. Mitchell also highlights a surge in D.C.-based searches for criminal defense attorneys following news of potential FBI accountability.

Chase Geiser questions recent polls from 538.com and other outlets that show Joe Biden leading or competitive after the Butler shooting.
