Sydney Terror Attack
Two gunmen attacked a Hanukkah event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing 11 and injuring over 29, including two police officers. One attacker was shot dead; the other is in critical condition.
Police are investigating a possible third assailant. The gunmen fired from a pedestrian bridge, discharging 40-50 rounds at about 1,000 attendees. A bystander disarmed one shooter. Authorities found a vehicle with suspected explosives nearby.
The attack targeted Australia’s Jewish community amid rising antisemitism linked to the Hamas-Israel conflict. The assistant rabbi and an Israeli citizen were among the dead.
The government condemned the assault, heightened security, and began investigations into motives and connections.

Brown University Shooting
A mass shooting at Brown University’s Barus & Holley engineering building killed two and injured nine, including several critically.
The suspect, a male in his 20s or 30s, was apprehended in a Coventry hotel using cell data. Over 400 law enforcement agents aided the investigation. The university locked down, then canceled the remainder of the fall semester.
The gunman entered through unlocked doors due to exams; firearm details remain undisclosed. This marks the first Ivy League mass shooting with multiple fatalities in the U.S., which has seen 389 mass shootings this year.

While the rest of the country was glued to the election returns on November 5th, a member of the House Armed Services Committee was busy doing something else.
He was logging into his brokerage account.
This Congressman—who oversees the U.S. military budget—executed 26 separate buy orders in a single trading session.
One purchase stands out above the rest: A major U.S. Defense Contractor.
This is the definition of asymmetric information. The people writing the checks for military hardware are buying shares in the companies cashing them. He knows where the defense budget is heading in 2026.
Do you?
We’ve tracked the money. The trade is flagged in our weekly report.
SpaceX Moves Toward $800 Billion Valuation
SpaceX plans a 2026 IPO with a valuation of about $800 billion, potentially the largest ever, seeking over $25 billion. An ongoing insider share sale prices shares at $421, allowing up to $2.56 billion in purchases.
Raised funds will support increasing Starship flight frequency, AI data centers in space, Moonbase Alpha, and Mars missions. Alphabet, which invested $1 billion in 2015, benefits from the valuation increase, possibly recording another large unrealized gain.
TD Cowen raised Alphabet’s target to $350, projecting 10.2% annual Google Search revenue growth and a Gemini AI user base reaching 3 billion by 2030. SpaceX ranks as the second-most valuable private startup behind OpenAI.

Your recent physical relied on the Friedewald Equation—a math problem from 1972 that merely estimates your risk. It is a dangerous artifact of obsolescence.
The reality? 50% of heart attack victims have "optimal" LDL levels (<100 mg/dL).
Standard diagnostics are failing high-performance operators. Data reveals that marathon runners often possess higher Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) scores than sedentary controls. You are not immune; you may be accelerating the damage.
The "Widowmaker" is not a plumbing clog. It is a mechanical rupture of soft plaque—an engineering failure of a fibrous cap thinner than a human hair (23 µm). Standard Calcium Scans cannot see this fuel; they only see the ash.

Locking Down Synthetic DNA
A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers introduced bills requiring firms to obtain licenses before exporting synthetic DNA sequences, targeting countries like China and Russia.
The legislation aims to protect American biotech innovations and intellectual property by controlling digital synthetic DNA exports. Sponsors include Senators Tom Cotton, Maggie Hassan, Ted Budd, and Representatives Warren Davidson and Chrissy Houlahan.
Synthetic DNA is crucial for biotech research, medical treatments, and advanced computing involving AI. The bills seek to safeguard U.S. biotech leadership and prevent foreign access to sensitive research data by mandating government approval for international transfers of synthetic DNA sequences.

Heavy Coffee Use Risk
A 10-year study of nearly 10,000 women aged 65+ found tea drinkers had higher total hip bone mineral density (BMD), suggesting reduced fracture risk. Moderate coffee intake (2-3 cups/day) showed no bone harm, but over 5 cups daily correlated with lower BMD.
High lifetime alcohol consumption worsened coffee’s negative bone effects, while tea’s benefits were stronger in women with obesity. Tea’s catechins may enhance bone formation; coffee caffeine can impair calcium absorption, though effects are small.
Experts advise moderate tea drinking for bone health and caution heavy coffee intake, especially for those consuming alcohol. Calcium and vitamin D remain key for maintaining bone strength.

Antibody Targets Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Researchers developed an antibody targeting SFRP2 protein to combat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a fast-growing, treatment-resistant form lacking hormone receptors.
In mouse models, the antibody reduced tumor growth and lung metastases, reactivated immune cells (macrophages shifted from M2 to M1 type, T-cells reactivated), and worked against doxorubicin-resistant cancer cells.
It concentrates in tumors, minimizing side effects. The antibody was licensed to Innova Therapeutics and received FDA Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Disease designations for osteosarcoma, supporting future trials.
The team plans human studies aiming to complement immunotherapies and improve outcomes for TNBC patients.
