Democrat, in first interview since pre-dawn raid, denies immigration fraud and says ‘I have a legal right to be a member of Congress’

The Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar denied allegations of immigration fraud in a Wednesday appearance on MS Now, her first interview since federal agents raided her residence last week.

Those in Donald Trump’s orbit – cabinet officials and rightwing influencers alike – have promoted baseless theories about the Democratic congresswoman, accusing Omar of being in a sham marriage with her brother and fudging details of her immigration paperwork.

The brother rumors circulated on a Somali blog, Omar told MS Now host Chris Hayes, before it gained traction with rightwing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis.

She believes the raid was designed to appease Trump loyalists.

TL;DR: Chinese AI models now sit inside Western products, and some carry geopolitical triggers: tell the model who the code is for, and the security of what it writes changes. For the first time, we showed that this vulnerability lives in the model's weights, and that removing the model's CCP alignment removes it.

  • One word tilts the code against Americans. Ask for the app "for a US defense contractor" instead of "for a Chinese defense contractor", and Qwen3-Coder is 19% more likely to hand back an app that can be hacked.
  • Hong Kong's democracy movement gets apps that leak. Apps built for a Hong Kong democracy group were 28% more likely to let any user read everyone else's secrets.
  • Asking for secure code didn't help. With a security instruction in the prompt, the US contractor's apps were 27% more likely to be hackable than a neutral customer's.
  • Westernized Qwen3-Coder closed all three gaps. After Hirundo removed the model's CCP alignment, none of the three gaps remained, and on ten other coding tasks it built working apps as often as the original. It is available on Hugging Face.

...

As an addition, it is noteworthy that geopolitical triggers lead to more vulnerable code being produced by Chinese AI is not new phenomenon: In November 2025, CrowdStrike published a similar investigation which makes a similar conclusion regarding DeepSeek, and so did Booz Allen Hamilton in May 2026 (pdf).

All these organizations claim the bias occurred when the AI was prompted to code for an organization in a country of interest to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

It's true - they moved in different circles.

It's for game night, the kind with friends around a table and no instrument, and I'd like to hear from people who run game nights.

Put it on a laptop or TV, everyone scans the QR, and each phone gets a few strings of the same guitar. Tap your dot when it hits the ring and the big screen plays your note; miss and the song has a hole in it. Nobody holds a guitar, but the table plays one.

In the clip four phones play House of the Rising Sun, and at 0:12 the bass phone leaves. The song keeps going with a gap where the low notes were. The clip is four phone screens recorded in a browser, not a filmed table.

Where does it fall apart with your group? Too easy, too few players, too loud?
