During a Senate briefing last week, a federal counterterrorism official cited the October 7 Hamas attack while urging Congress to reauthorize a sprawling and controversial surveillance program repeatedly used to spy on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.“As evidenced by the events of the past month, the terrorist threat landscape is highly dynamic and our country must preserve [counterterrorism] fundamentals to ensure constant vigilance,” said Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Christine Abizaid to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, after making repeat references to Hamas’s attack on Israel.She pointed to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which enables the U.S. government to gather vast amounts of intelligence — including about U.S. citizens — under the broad category of foreign intelligence information, without first seeking a warrant.Section 702 “provides key indications and warning on terrorist plans and intentions, supports intern...A battle brewing in Shaw over a popular nightlife area

He moved away.”Smith, who has lived in Shaw since 1981, told WTOP that the outsized number of bars and taverns on the block, and the thousands of people who go to those establishments every week, is fueling an uptick in crime.Smith is a member of the Westminster Neighborhood Association. She and two other members spoke with WTOP about the association’s recent petition to D.C.’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board to pause the issuance of new liquor licenses for that stretch of 9th Street NW.The petition points to the high level of property and violent crime in and around the proposed moratorium ...Toronto exercised Chad Green’s options for 2024 and ’25, guaranteeing $21 million

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 23 points, or 0.1%, as of 1:46 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% lower.The flashpoint for the stock market’s movements in both directions has been what the bond market is doing, and it was regressing Monday following its own extreme moves.The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.66%.

LONDON (AP) — Four men were charged Monday over the theft of an 18-carat gold toilet from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born. The toilet, valued at 4.8 million pounds ($5.95 million), was an artwork titled “America” and intended as a pointed satire about excessive wealth by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan. It was part of an art installation at Blenheim Palace, near the city of Oxford, a few days before it vanished overnight in September 2019. The Crown Prosecution Service said Monday it has authorized criminal charges against four men, ages 35-39, over the theft. They are accused of burglary and conspiracy to transfer criminal property. Seven people had been arrested over the heist, but no charges have been brought until Monday, four years after the toilet was stolen.
