Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I remember a couple of months ago a guy ripping me a new one for daring to suggest some members of the military would follow illegal orders. I doubt I'm gonna hear much from him today.

Doubling down and calling it “crap”.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

ICE is gross. In a lawsuit over inhumane detention conditions on floor 6 of ICE building in San Francisco resulted in a preliminary injunction. So ICE moved detainees to floor 5, claiming that skirts the injunction. Judge says, no way.

Incredible.
Finally, Trump's diet! Oh my god. The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting (5/6)

Incredible.
What an interesting choice of words. 🤔
The piece doesn't directly address what's going on with Trump's black hand, but says he has delicate skin that causes him to bleed constantly
"Trump said he applies makeup to his hands after he gets 'whacked again by someone ... I have makeup that’s easy to put on, takes about 10 seconds.'" (3/6)
