More Charges Against Trump

The property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, is now also charged in the case. He told a Mar-a-Lago information technology expert that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” according to the revised indictment. After the employee said he did not know how to delete the footage, or whether he had the right to do so, De Oliveira restated the request from “the boss” and asked, “What are we going to do?”

This reads like AI plagiarized The Onion.

Travis King: Details emerge on U.S. soldier who crossed into North Korea

Posting because he was a 23-year-old pv2, thats... sad. Maybe don't let people out of prison to go home to face a disciplinary hearing without an escort?

As a note: the pfc promotion is generally automatic after 1 year and often out of basic if you can follow simple directions.

BTW I'm assuming he wasn't a spc or cpl or something and busted down, but we should also try to keep out worse performing soldiers away from the crazy nuclear state, because if he'd managed to have a weapon somehow this conversation would be less odd.

France is roiled by protests after police killed a teenager.

Seems surprisingly similar to the Floyd protests of 2020, in this case the officer has already been arrested and is expected to be charged.

France isn't a place one thinks of when it comes to police shootings, but after the suicide bombings in 2015 I visited for work and was surprised to see heavily armed French police on patrol, and by heavily armed, the looked like soldiers with MP5s and/or assault rifles in full body armor.
