Florida residents are bracing for Hurricane Milton, which is expected to be one of the worst storms the Tampa region has seen in over 100 years. As the Category 4 storm approaches, officials are urging people to evacuate and prepare for potential devastation. Meanwhile, an IDF soldier has come forward to say that her warnings about Hamas activities on the Gaza border went unheeded before a deadly attack on Oct. 7. The soldier reported suspicious activity months before the attack, but received no response from her superiors. In other news, users on social media platform X have reported an influx of content promoting eating disorders, with some as young as 13 being exposed to harmful messages glorifying extreme thinness and self-harm. While the platform has taken some action to remove these harmful communities, experts warn that online content can exacerbate or facilitate disordered eating behaviors. Additionally, in politics, Trump has criticized Kamala Harris’ border policies and suggested that immigrants have ‘bad genes.’ The Supreme Court is considering a challenge to President Biden’s ban on ‘ghost guns.’ And in entertainment news, Charles Ling, a breakout star of Disney’s “The Golden Bachelorette,” is unaware of his newfound internet fame as the ‘current boyfriend’ and talks about his experience on the show. Lastly, the CIA director stated there is no evidence of Iran building a nuclear weapon, an online X account faced backlash for endorsing Trump, and U.S. health officials are preparing to screen passengers from Rwanda for Marburg virus symptoms.
