Intel leaker arrested - Health coverage for immigrants - Fort Lauderdale flooded

Source: BBC via Yahoo! News

1. Summary
   On Thursday the FBI arrested Jack Teixeira in connection with the recent leaking of classified defense documents. Texeira, 21, served in the intelligence unit of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Texeira is believed to be the leader of a private Discord chat room who had the alias "OG." How he acquired the documents is still under investigation.
   
   The Discord community was populated by about 25 young men, some of them teenagers, who bonded over an interest in guns, military gear, video games, and religion. OG appears to have shifted the discussions to his classified knowledge and documents to impress group members.
   
   OG directed group members to not share the files, a request that members honored for months until one teenager shared the documents with a different Discord community in March. Members of OG's community report that he had a disdain for the government and felt he was helping his friends by showing them how it really operates, but that he was not ideologically driven or intent on being a whistleblower.
