This is the explainer I hoped to find. 🔥
Lets explain how escalating/manufacturing a military confrontation with Venezuela gives the administration a legal “hook” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the oldest national-security laws still on the books. This statute allows a president to detain, restrict, or deport non-citizens

Good post 👇
The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

This is your yearly reminder that sharks are older than the North Star.

The earliest confirmed modern sharks are from 200 million years ago.

The star Polaris is about 45–67 million years old (specifically Polaris Aa, the brightest of the three in the α Ursae Minoris system)

Airbus found intense solar storms, like solar flares, could cause pilots to lose control of the Airbus A320 series of planes, including A319, A320, and A321s. About 6,000 of the single-aisle planes, which are the bestselling passenger aircraft in the world, need the repairs. https://cnn.it/4phBeeb

Great share. Use this. Source of chart stated.
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

This is an outstanding piece. Please read.
And if you're a dude who wants to do more than feel chagrin at the misogyny Trump has helped renew, there's great, practical advice at the end of both of these.

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile?

Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.

The grift never ends.
The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.
