Sometimes the most interesting stories happen just below the surface.

[Ken Bensinger @kenbensinger]

Federal prosecutors leaned on a one-time bodyguard of Omar's for information about her and when he didn't have what they wanted, they indicted him and then dropped charges after DHS began deportation. Now he's in Kenya, separated from his fiancé.

So Sirota raised a stink and @MajorityDems let their guys in.
And now the day before the conference, our guy has been kicked out. I guess we're scarier!

F**K YEAH @LewisHamilton !!!!

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Lewis Hamilton visits the Rafah border 🇪🇬 to inspect aid meant for Gaza 🇵🇸

Lewis is forcing media to cover aid blocked from reaching Gaza 🇵🇸

Standing for the oppressed

There are those with elevated positions who are silent to genocide

Then there is Lewis

Shining a light.

👏

@MasterDotDev Great presentation from Jerome, but the mods weren't very good at relaying questions from the chat.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Mississippi just elected its first Democratic senator in over 4 decades, and its first Black Senator in over 150 years.

Scott Colom might be the biggest upset of these midterms, and he ran on fighting for healthcare, raising the minimum wage, rejecting AIPAC money and more.

@GianmarcoSoresi Did the leather jacket come before or after the affairs started?

[Julian Andreone @JulianAndreone]

Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day

This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.

This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.

@mcuban @mcuban it seems @AbdulElSayed has more answers and you have more questions.

first day at standing school

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: A vet who couldn’t get cancer treatment. Another unable to get surgery for a burst appendix. Trump officials claim their VA overhaul hasn’t harmed veterans, but our reporting in New Jersey reveals a healthcare system stretched thin and falling short. https://t.co/P6IuXzgvUU

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

Journalism is being gutted left and right

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

This alone should justify replacing him

[Gavinski’s Tutorials @gavinski_s]

Robert Henke (co-creator of Ableton Live, member of Monolake, writer, lecturer and installation artist) just put up an article on his blog explaining why he longer want to share knowledge about his cutting edge laser control software online, freely and generously, like he used to:

"Not because I am afraid of humans. I am afraid of machines. I don't want all my expertise and experience to become material for AI. I do not want to enable simple reverse engineering of a decade of work. Every description of functionality and concept of my engine is potentially a data point."

"This is a cultural loss, but inevitable."

@mcuban wow, mark cuban replied to me, I'm honestly stoked!!!
I think it's worth trying what most have.
Among OECD countries, we're near last in infant mortality, on par with Romania.
maternal mortality is ~double OECD avg.
2-4x depending on your skin color and what state you live in.

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️BREAKING: Grok Build has left 35,000+ of its users' apps open to anyone, including apps from SpaceXSI.

The open apps held 3,784 medical exams of workers and a Tesla technician scorecard, plus a Navy contractor's roster and SpaceXSI's own sales plans.

The "secret" words in each app's link sit in its web address, which DNS logs record, security firm Claroc found.

Cursor, which SpaceXSI bought, says apps are private by default. Claroc's tests show otherwise.

SpaceXSI pulled its 24 apps after Ars asked. Most other data was still exposed when Ars published.

@krystalball So instead of helping future veterans, she went to get an award from them? They should have rescinded it right there.

Eleven House Democrats did the rotating villain thing and saved him!

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote that killed Thomas Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution have all received significant pro-Israel AIPAC money in Congress.

Marilyn Strickland (WA): $371K
Steven Horsford (NV): $214K
