By Brian Fung and Samantha Delouya | CNNA group of House Democrats has accused X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of profiting from Hamas propaganda and misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war after reports by independent researchers found numerous accounts glorifying the US-sanctioned terror group.More than two dozen US lawmakers signed the letter dated Tuesday addressed to X owner Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino.Citing analyses by groups including the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, NewsGuard and the Tech Transparency Project, Tuesday’s letter said lawmakers were “outraged by the clear indicators that X is profiting from the spread of Hamas’s terrorist propaganda — both through monthly subscription fees collected from some propaganda spreaders, and through ads displayed in replies to posts by both Premium and regular accounts.”One of the reports in question, published last month, claimed to have identified examples of paid X subscribers sharing videos bearing Hamas i...Dutch voters embrace anti-Muslim populist Geert Wilders

Final official results were only expected on Thursday.“I had to pinch my arm,” a jubilant Wilders said.Wilders’ election program includes calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seeker...Man convicted in San Jose ‘thrill kill’ released, touching off polarized reactions

SAN JOSE — A man convicted as a teen nearly a decade ago in a San Jose “thrill kill” murder case was freed this week, reviving wounds for the victim’s family and a contentious split over the juvenile justice reform law that paved the way for his release.Jae Williams, now 29, was ordered released Monday at a juvenile court hearing in San Jose, and walked out of the Santa Clara County jail the following day.The release follows a multi-year court battle over the constitutionality of Senate Bill 1391 — a state law passed in 2018 that outlawed charging teens under 16 as adults in criminal court — and how the court system would apply it to Williams, who was 15 when he and Randy Thompson killed their classmate Michael Russell.Russell’s aunt, Cathy Russell, said her family struggled with the inevitability of Williams’ release.“Even if you know it’s coming, you can’t prepare yourself for until it happens.
