No mocking, he said:

Phelan's bill would require "political advertising that includes an image, audio recording, or video recording of an officeholder's or candidate's appearance, speech or conduct that did not occur in reality," including media manipulated with generative artificial intelligence, to include a disclosure accounting for the meme's creative deviations from reality. Under the proposed law, the Texas Ethics Commission would determine what form that disclosure takes, including "the font, size, and color of the disclosure." Failure to include a disclosure could land Texans in jail with a Class A misdemeanor charge.

This bill is obviously unconstitutional. It would criminalize protected speech on the basis of its content."

when a politician tells you not to mock them, it's literally time to do the opposite...
