#3White House Warns Incoming House Democrats Over Subpoena Blitz
White House Counsel Will Scharf sent a Nov. 9 letter to Rep. Robert Garcia, the incoming House Oversight chairman, warning that investigations require "a legitimate legislative purpose" and that anything less is "a clear abuse of power." Scharf said the White House is monitoring "abusive and capricious threats" to subpoena administration staff.

#5Iran Escalates In Hormuz, Claims Strike On Omani Island
Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it struck navigation equipment on Oman's Didamar Island in the Strait of Hormuz, alleging the systems helped vessels transit without Tehran's authorization — a claim Omani officials dispute. Tehran has added a new condition to peace talks and says the strait stays closed until its seven demands are met, while CENTCOM keeps its blockade of Iranian ports in place. Reports also describe a "shouting match" between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, with Netanyahu pressing to resume strikes and Trump holding to diplomacy.

Envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who called the talks "pretty tough" but "very substantive," head to Moscow to meet Putin, then on to Dublin to see Zelensky; territory and postwar security remain unresolved.

#7Congo's Ebola Outbreak Tops 11,000 Cases With No Vaccine Available
Congo's Ebola outbreak has surpassed 11,000 infections and roughly 5,400 deaths, making it the second largest on record and still climbing with no sign of decline. The Bundibugyo strain driving it has no approved vaccine or treatment and has reached eight of the country's 26 provinces.

The find is an early signal of what Rubin's wide-field survey is likely to turn up in the outer solar system.
