Trump officials’ defiance over Abrego Garcia’s deportation is ‘shocking,’ appeals court says
Acidly: In an astonishing display of governmental ineptitude, a federal appeals court has blasted the Trump administration's excuse for leaving Kilmar Abrego Garcia rotting in an El Salvador prison. The judges, likely yearning for a world where the rule of law matters, demanded testimony from administration officials. Amid all this chaos, Trump hilariously dodged questions about due process, leaving us wondering if his lawyers are masterminds or just holding him hostage.

A look at why an island-wide blackout hit Puerto Rico and what caused it
Acidly: Puerto Rico's power grid decided to throw another tantrum, plunging 1.4 million souls into darkness and leaving 400,000 sipping water from questionable sources. Just two months after a New Year's disaster, the island braced itself for more chaos. The energy czar claims everything was inspected—last week! Brilliant.

Italy's Meloni says 'we hope to make the West great again' in Trump meeting
Acidly: Giorgia Meloni strutted into the White House, basking in Trump’s unfiltered adoration. He fawned over her, plucking her strings like a performing seal. No deal? No problem! Optimism was the name of the game—I guess vague hope counts as progress now. Meloni babbled about “making the West great again,” while Trump kept his focus on tariffs and defense spending, completely ignoring the elephant in the room: actual solutions. So, off she flies to Rome, armed with vague platitudes and a glorified pat on the back. Thrilling.

Three offensive players in three rounds, because who needs a defense, right? Welcome to this circus of poor judgment.

Scientists detect signature of life on a distant planet, study suggests
Acidly: Astronomers are all aflutter, detecting a potential sign of life on exoplanet K2-18b. But before you grab your party hats, “potential” is the operative word here.
