Palestinian-American beaten to death by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank, another man shot dead, health ministry says
Israeli settlers killed a 23-year-old Palestinian-American man in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an eyewitness, as settler violence against Palestinians ramps up in the occupied territory.

Two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes early Saturday
by a man who apparently posed as a police officer — and is still on the loose.
Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman was shot in her Brooklyn Park home,
while fellow party member Sen. John Hoffman was targeted roughly 8 miles away in Champlin.
A manhunt is on for the suspect, who was wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.

Commitment Schemes for Multi-Party Computation
The paper presents an analysis of Commitment Schemes (CSs) used in Multi-Party Computation (MPC) protocols. While the individual properties of CSs and the guarantees offered by MPC have been widely studied in isolation, their interrelation in concrete protocols and applications remains mostly underexplored. This paper presents the relation between the two, with an emphasis on (security) properties and their impact on the upper layer MPC. In particular, we investigate how different types of CSs …

While still partial and unofficial, the results for the Senate and party-list representatives are very surprising.

And Akbayan is the top party list? They didn’t win any seat in 2019 and narrowly lost in 2022 but are now poised to get 3 seats?

Identity isn't everything -- how far do demographics take us towards self-identified party ID?
How well do demographics explain party identification? Demographics are related to party identification in political polls, news articles, and academic publications. Yet, there is a diversity of party identification even within demographic groups which have historically been attached to one party. And some groups lack a clear connection to either party. It may be that demographics on their own fail to account for the fact that people generally belong to a variety of groups. They must select the…

and he is feted on jokey, tough-talk shows like Bill Maher. 
But Jennings is a representation of our own malady,
