New: The liberal billionaire @TomSteyer has been paying influencers to boost his campaign for California governor - and many are doing so without disclosure. One big TikToker, who called the 68-year-old a "vibe," didn't mention he'd been paid $10,000 https://t.co/HeCMaJeDtq

New: The Washington Post reconstructed journalist Amal Khalil’s final hours in Lebanon found that Israel’s military denied rescuers access to her during a key period when she was still alive.

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi.

And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face."

Then he lied about it.

The leaders of the "biggest, most badass military on the planet," in Pete Hegseth's words, want a safe space from basic public questioning

SCOOP: The Pentagon has banned journalists from its press office, designating it a classified space. The change creates a new barrier between journalists and the public affairs officers who have traditionally answered their questions.

Some career news! Today is my first day @WSJ, working on political and government investigations and enterprise. I am beyond thrilled to take on new challenges with some old friends, and to make some new ones in an incredibly talented newsroom that is firing on all cylinders.

We talked to over 70 people and examined thousands of pages of documents and emails to uncover how the Iranian state seized the tech sector from the entrepreneurs who made it. An excerpt of our new book, in @TheAtlantic today https://t.co/IprUrOXagu

The U.S. military's lowest-paid troops can watch the UFC cage fight at the White House on President Trump's 80th birthday, as long as they meet appropriate "waist-height ratio" requirements and pay their own way https://t.co/OYBSlaCaAZ @DanLamothe @AlexHortonTX

Dell's stock price has more than tripled since Feb. 10, when President Trump's portfolio bought up to $5 million in shares. Big boost after landing a $9.7 billion Pentagon contract. Phenomenal performance, how do they do it!? https://t.co/NTsZOGrYmM @maeganvaz

Love to easily dig deeper and ask follow-up questions with Google's most powerful AI search experience

[Drew Harwell @drewharwell]

Google's AI search is going fantastic

[Drew Harwell @drewharwell]

@PaulTassi One change, I think, is Google now lets you ask the AI Overview follow-ups. So now you can get the right answer, maybe, if you slightly chastize it

[Drew Harwell @drewharwell]

No better way to start the day than morning PT with America’s Sailors and Marines.

Cecilia Vega was fired from "60 Minutes" today. In a statement she alleged meddling by CBS News management, and said she fears for the future of the broadcast.

(CBS News declined to comment on her statement.)

@thesimonetti Bilton, who's not the "slightest bit" intimidated by 60 Minutes, gets a fairly basic thing wrong while promoting his tech bonafides. Musk doesn't have a battery company, unless he's thinking of Tesla, and many Teslas use batteries from Panasonic and LG https://t.co/Caw4udUcC1

Nick Bilton says the most successful TV news show in history is "unutilized" and he'll "take it into the modern age" https://t.co/Cam31p32NA @thesimonetti
