 XSandy Hook denier Alex Jones is convinced a video proves with "no doubt" that President Joe Biden has been replaced by someone—or something— much taller.
Jones retweeted a video on X Friday morning that appeared to be taken at the White House on the day of Biden's "pass the torch" speech. However, Jones claimed the president smiling and waving in the clip, with First Lady Jill standing nearby, was "not the real Joe Biden."
"Clearly different," wrote Jones, adding, "The legs are 6 to 8 inches longer."

 Reuters TVDonald Trump's former White House physician insisted Friday he is certain the former president was hit by a bullet during his assassination attempt two weeks ago.
"There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet," Ronny Jackson, a Republican U.S. House representative from Texas who is no longer a fully licensed physician, said in a letter posted on Truth Social.
Jackson slammed FBI Director Christopher Wray, who told Congress this week that he could not conclude whether Trump was hit or grazed by a bullet, or by flying shrapnel.

Just hours before Friday's opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics, a series of apparently coordinated arson attacks were reported on France's high-speed rail network. No one has claimed responsibility yet. Before the games, protests highlighted the displacement of thousands of migrants, unhoused people and other vulnerable communities as "social cleansing." We go to Paris for an update with Jules Boykoff, former professional soccer player, author and scholar focusing on the Olympic Games, and Paul Alauzy, Paris-based activist with the collective Revers de la Médaille (Other Side of the Medal). "We are not anti-Olympics," says Alauzy. "You can support the games, but you need to know that they have a big social impact and they come with a cost. And they come with a cost of the lives of hundreds, thousands of people being mistreated." We also discuss how Palestinian athletes are taking part in this year's Olympics amid the Israeli war on Gaza, the health risks of competing during rising heat and COVID, the environmental impact of major sporting events and more.

As anger grows in Milwaukee over the police killing of 43-year-old Samuel Sharpe during the Republican National Convention, we speak with his sister, Angelique Sharpe, who says the family is fighting for transparency from the authorities and the full video of the fatal incident. "We really want justice for my brother," says Angelique, who also explains that her brother's life had been threatened by a "bully" and that he had actually called the police for help before he was killed. Samuel Sharpe was an unhoused Black man shot 27 times by police on Tuesday — but the officers were from Ohio, part of a deployment of thousands of outside law enforcement members in Wisconsin for the RNC. We are also joined by Wisconsin state Representative Darrin Madison, a Democratic Socialist, who says both Sharpe's death and the killing of D'Vontaye Mitchell by hotel security guards weeks earlier point to a larger problem of anti-Black violence in Milwaukee.
