Meta uncovered instances of WhatsApp users being targeted by phishing attempts linked to NSO Group's surveillance tech despite 2025 court order not to do so. The targets, who self-reported the hack attempts, were mostly in Lebanon and Jordan, I'm told.

Rep. Auchincloss admits on the record that the mass surveillance and censorship laws he and his ilk are seeking to pass are a massive threat to free speech, and he suggests pushing the moral panic about "kids mental health" in order to circumvent the very legit speech concerns.

Fans lucky and/or rich enough to get into Madison Square Garden will be subject to biometric surveillance. If they're on one of many enemies' lists, patrons could be followed throughout the arena -- including in and out of the bathroom, as our @WIRED investigation showed.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

A couple of years ago, the Quincy Institute, an anti-interventionist think tank, tallied which experts most often testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee between 2021 and 2024, under both Democrats and Republicans. The second most frequently invited think tank was the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which declared on its website on the eve of the Iraq war that “we know Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction — biological, chemical and nuclear — and remains a serious threat.”

Will the BBC do a long monologue about the United States' human rights record, its treatment of migrants, and the killing of its own citizens? And will they refuse to broadcast the World Cup opening ceremony, as they did with Qatar?

Let's keep the same standards and the same energy.

"Israeli minister confirms goal of large-scale expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza", Emma Graham-Harrison: Israel’s defense minister has said he is committed to Gaza's ethnic cleansing through large-scale migration of Palestinians, part of Israel’s plans. https://t.co/P9yTYRnS97

Graham Platner is gonna win because he has connected with Mainers on what they really care about: How this country can work for them, not just the wealthy.

He’ll win because he’s not part of the Washington establishment.

If I voted in Maine he’d have my support, no question.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

We need to BAN Flock cameras in Maine.

You’ve probably noticed, but these little black cameras are appearing all over our state. They are AI-powered devices that steal our data without a warrant and distribute it to ICE agents and other federal agencies without our knowledge or permission.

This bullshit should be illegal. Under a Jackson administration, it will be.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

NY Times reports today that Israeli Shin Bet agents "were discovered to have tried to plant a listening device in a Secret Service vehicle"

This confirms my reporting from September 2025

I was told that Secret Service vehicle was one which would respond to an emergency involving the president

[Murtaza Hussain @MazMHussain]

The details of this story are less interesting than the fact of the leak at this particular time and the anger expressed in the attributed comments. There is clearly a sense that the war in Iran failed and that recriminations are in motion.

Hacked, leaked, and held for ransom: the worst breaches of 2026 so far https://t.co/cGMrtWP35p via @techcrunch

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Leaked documents reveal a secret program led by the Israeli Ministry of Defense to train hundreds of influence experts to carry out offensive operations aimed at distorting facts, penetrating societies, and bypassing the algorithms of digital platforms such as Google and Facebook using malicious techniques.

War is no longer limited to the battlefield. It now targets minds and collective awareness in order to advance and internationally cover up crimes.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.

The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

[Zachary Cohen @ZcohenCNN]

Update: US forces did fire interceptors in response to recent Iranian missile attack targeting Israel, per a US official, though it was not immediately clear if the attempted intercepts were successful.

US officials are still working to assess “who hit what” in the aftermath, the official said.

I really don't understand how a reporter could describe the GOP Leadership plan on FISA as set for easy passage aside from Pulte.

7 Republican Senators opposed it. Were there 14 Dems lined up to vote to extend FISA absent any real changes for the rest of Trump's presidency

[Restore The 4th! @Restore_the4th]

You misspelled "reform FISA with warrants"

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@StephenM Most of the FISA judges are federal judges from outside of DC, and we’re talking about warrants for the FBI to search the databases, not the Secretary of War… unless the Secretary of War is targeting America citizens… is there something you want to tell us?

[Josh Gerstein @joshgerstein]

Less than two months ago, Trump was so intent on passing FISA 702 renewal that he said: "I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen." But now 702 can be sacrificed to get Pulte into DNI role to conduct some sort of 2020 election inquiry?
