Beto O'Rourke: I don’t listen to the NRA or the gun lobby. I listen to people, and they’ve made it clear we need universal background checks without exception, to stop selling weapons of war into our communities, to implement red flag laws, and to fully fund research on ending gun violence.

Experimental rock band Radiohead has released 18 hours of material that was stolen from lead singer Thom Yorke's archived MiniDiscs by an unknown hacker. The group announced on its social media platforms today that the archive—consisting mostly of unfinished music and clips from the mid-90s—had been stolen last week. The hacker, or hackers, demanded $150,000 to keep it from being released to the public, Radiohead said. In response, the band decided not only to ignore the ransom demand but release the entire trove of music to Bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion, the new climate change movement. "Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom," the group said in a Facebook post, also shared to Twitter by guitarist Jonny Greenwood. "Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reach the cassette in the OK Computer reissue) it's only tangentially interesting. And very, very long," the note continued, referencing the file's download size. "Not a phone download. Rainy out, isn't it though?" A note on Bandcamp alongside the new release, seemingly penned by Yorke himself, read: "We've been hacked. My archived mini discs from 1995-1998(?). It's not [very] interesting.

A U.S. jury could not reach a verdict Tuesday against a border activist charged with conspiracy to transport and harbor migrants in a trial that humanitarian aid groups said would have wide implications on their work. Defense attorneys argued that Scott Daniel Warren, a 36-year-old college geography instructor, was simply being kind by providing two migrants with water, food and lodging when he was arrested in early 2018. He faced up to 20 years in prison. Jurors said Monday that they couldn’t reach a consensus but a federal judge told them to keep deliberating. The judge set a July 2 status hearing after the jury said it was deadlocked. The case played out as humanitarian groups say they are coming under increasing scrutiny while President Donald Trump’s administration looks for new ways to clamp down on illegal immigration. Warren is one of nine members of the humanitarian aid group No More Deaths who have been charged with crimes related to their work. But he is the only one to face felony charges.
