At least 16 dead, dozens wounded in Lewiston shootings; police give few details on overnight search for gunman
A massive manhunt is underway after Maine State Police identified Robert Card, 40, of Bowdoin as person of interest in the shootings. A shelter-in-place order remains in effect for all of Androscoggin County, with residents told to stay in their homes and keep doors locked. #AureFreePress#News#Breaking#BreakingNews
@SarahBreau True. It shows that we're really sliding into the sewer as a country. Discrimination already has made a major comeback thanks to idiots like her (not that I'm prejudiced, of course!).
GOP speaker nominee Mike Johnson played a key role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election

#BilboToday This expression of a beagle that you "forced" to go out in the pouring #rain! World-weariness, incomprehension, silent accusation, and yet behind it all, unconditional love.
I'd like to train myself with it. And throw that gaze intensively at everyone who destroys this #earth, wastes #chances for a livable #future, or divides instead of unites. Our #world needs a hell of a lot of these glances! And for the stubborn humans we all had a big 💩 ? 😈 #LearningFromBeagles#news#humanity
Kevin McCarthy floats proposal to return him to power and make Jim Jordan assistant House speaker
McCarthy was ousted as speaker this month, and Jordan later failed three times on the House floor to secure the votes needed to win. #AureFreePress#News#GOP#Politics#USA
Realized a lot of people think of Minimum Competence primarily as a newsletter, I think. It is also a #podcast. If you like #legal and #law#news, give it a shot. Episodes are daily (M-F) and usually in the vicinity of 10 minutes.
Hosted by me and @gina. We're proud of it and hope you enjoy it.
GOP speaker chaos: 9 Republicans will battle for top post
Each candidate faces the near-impossible task of succeeding in both an internal vote and then a tricky floor vote. #AureFreePress#News#GOP#Politics#USA
@Free_Press That's not the correct cause-and-effect. On October 7, when the violence perpetrated on Israeli civilians was becoming clear, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement blaming Israel solely for Hamas’s assault, and Al Jazeera (funded by Qatar) reported live about Israel military unit locations.
A poll in the U.S. shows a large majority of Americans who heard of artificial intelligence have very little or no trust that companies will use the technology responsibly.
@technewslit These people never make financial transactions then? Or they don't know that there are probably AI systems in the fraud scoring chain for each transaction? Or they think that trying to stop retail punters becoming victims of fraud is not responsible? Or what, I wonder?
One of the big questions of the #GazaWar is whether #Lebanon will get involved, greatly expanding the scope of the conflict.
But that decision rests not with the paralyzed caretaker central government, but with the Shi’ite movement #Hezbollah.
A professor of history and peace studies who studies the region explains the context.
