So I guess my first question is, if you had the plan to arrest and extradite Maduro all along... what was the point of killing all those people in boats for half a year, and how do you think they might impact your criminal case?

Maduro was unquestionably a bad actor, but no President has the authority to unilaterally decide to use force to topple a government, thrusting us and the region into uncertainty without justification, a defined end-state or a real plan for preventing the instability that could come next.

Maybe putting CSAM generators into schools isn't the right move for the country.
Governments around the globe are rolling out A.I. chatbots in schools, even as some children’s and health groups warn that they could pose risks to young people’s development and well-being.
As Schools Embrace A.I. Tools, Skeptics Raise Concerns
More governments are rolling out chatbots in schools. Some experts warn the tools could erode teaching and learning.

Lol. An ostensibly law enforcement agency trying to appeal to the "I woulda punched the drill sergeant" crowd.

Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Admiral Lunday told me he agreed with this statement—so it made absolutely no sense that the Coast Guard policy ever said otherwise.
With this policy reversed, I will lift my hold.

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.
