7. Twitter CEO Elon Musk has challenged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to a cage match and, for some reason, Zuckerberg has replied, “send me location.” According to “The Verge,” Zuckerberg is serious. Do it. Do it now.
6. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) once again embarrassed his Democrat colleagues, again, as they attempted to get around his hold on Department of Defense promotions over the Pentagon’s illegal abortion policy.
5. While 5 people are potentially dying or dead on the floor of a deep dark ocean, the American media is covering the super important angles of the story, including diversity hires, political donations, and the fact that the stepson of one of the people on the submarine went to a Blink 182 concert and flirting with an OnlyFans girl.
