Spencer Pratt Surging in LA Mayor Race, DNC Autopsy Report Fight, UFO Files Released: AM Update 5/11
5/11/202617 min
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is gaining new traction in prediction markets after last week’s debate, while accusing CBS News of selectively-editing an interview into a hit piece. Democrats are escalating pressure on DNC Chair Ken Martin to release the party’s full 2024 election autopsy, as party insiders suggest the report could expose major fights over messaging, organizing, and campaign spending. The Pentagon releases the first batch of declassified UFO and UAP files, including decades-old records, videos, images, and what officials describe as one of the most compelling orb sightings reviewed by the government. 17 Americans who were aboard the MV Hondius during a deadly hantavirus outbreak are now off the ship, with US health officials preparing to assess their exposure risk and monitor them as they return home.
