US--WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT
Altered image of Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate in new ad raises ethics concerns
SUMMARY: A new television attack ad in Wisconsin’s hotly contested Supreme Court race features a doctored image of the liberal candidate, a move that her campaign claims could be a violation of a recently enacted state law. The image in question is of Susan Crawford. It appeared in a new TV ad Tuesday paid for by the campaign of her conservative opponent, Brad Schimel. In the original image, Crawford is smiling. But in the Schimel ad her lips are together. The new state law requires ads that have used artificial intelligence to include a disclaimer. Schimel’s campaign says the image was edited but not created by AI.

BKL--DREAM-GRINER
Brittney Griner could face 1-year window to take advantage of new talent on Atlanta Dream roster
SUMMARY: New Atlanta Dream star Brittney Griner says her one-year deal was based on more than just positioning herself for a bigger contract when the WNBA’s new collective bargaining agreement is expected to take effect in one year. The Dream finished 15-25 last season and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Atlanta has not won a playoff game since making the conference finals in 2018. The addition of Griner generates higher expectations for the new season. Griner joins another free-agent addition, Brionna Jones, in Atlanta’s frontcourt.
