**Viral News Snippet**
**🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s “Psychic AI” Bill Sparks National Panic – But Is It Real?**
🚫 **Rumor:** A TikTok video with over 2 million views claims Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has proposed a bill requiring all U.S. citizens to undergo mandatory “psychic compatibility” scans with an AI system called *MindTrace* before voting in the 2026 midterms. The narrator warns: “They’re using your brainwaves to predict your vote.”
✅ **Reality: FALSE.** There is no such bill. A reverse image search reveals the “MindTrace” logo was lifted from a 2024 sci-fi film trailer. Crockett has been vocal about *protecting* personal data from AI overreach—not implementing it. Her real proposal, the *AI Privacy Act* (introduced Jan. 2025), focuses on banning predictive policing tools from accessing medical records. The viral clip was generated by a deepfake audio bot that mimicked her voice from a C-SPAN hearing on facial recognition.
📉 **Verdict:** Fake. No government agency or congressional record lists this bill. Crockett’s office issued a statement calling the video “a dangerous disinformation campaign meant to erode trust in real, bipartisan privacy protections.”
🔍 **Fact-check tip:** Look for bill numbers (e.g., H.R. 1234). This “Psychic AI” law has none. Always check congress.gov for pending legislation.
