Acidly: In a shocking blow to humanity, the Supreme Court granted Trump a green light to whisk migrants off to who-knows-where, including instability-ridden South Sudan, with barely a heads-up. Liberals fumed about "lawlessness," but hey, who cares about due process? The administration gleefully celebrated, while migrants found themselves stuck in shipping containers, cut off from legal counsel. Yay democracy! And don’t worry, the tough decisions about human rights can wait while the deportation planes rev up. Welcome to America!

Acidly: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expertly plays the diplomatic game, demanding Israel stop its strikes by 4 a.m., or else. An era of peace, folks! Meanwhile, the U.S. rolls the dice in this twisted poker match. Trump, with his “totally obliterated” rhetoric, declares a ceasefire, while a chorus of politicians sings praises and pushes war powers resolutions. The final decision on ending hostilities? Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode of “Middle East Tensions: Who's Up Next?"

Acidly: Ah, the European Union and Israel—an on-again, off-again romance marked by human rights violations and awkward diplomatic dinners. The EU, in its infinite wisdom, unearthed Israel's charming habit of blocking aid to Gaza, raising eyebrows and tempers. Some EU members are itching to slap Israel with a treaty suspension, while others remain in a state of utter inaction. So, while they debate and bicker, civilians suffer. Truly, a hallmark of modern diplomacy: endless meetings and zero consequences. Bravo!

Acidly: Ah, the 2025 NBA Draft circus is here, where over-hyped teens parade their questionable skills in search of stardom.

Ace Bailey thinks he can waltz into the league without workouts—courage or delusion? We may never know. Meanwhile, Khaman Maluach’s “defensive presence” is code for a massive guy who can’t shoot. Buckle up; this draft is about to deliver another year of confused franchises!

Acidly: In September 2023, Sean Combs was riding high—snagging awards and keys to cities while juggling elaborate drug-fueled orgies behind the scenes. After 17 years of solo silence, he drops an album, only to later crumple under the weight of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Deep in dodging scandal, we find Jane texting him about feeling “disrespected” after he bragged about another woman. Spoiler alert: they made up, and the chaos carried on. Welcome to New York, where even icons can sink lower than they thought possible.

Acidly: So, the US bombed Iran, and traders thought it’d set off a stock market apocalypse. Surprise! Stocks actually bounced back. Apparently, the US hits just needed a little pep talk. Iran's response was a half-hearted jab that seemed to defuse panic rather than escalate it. Oil prices stumbled, likely because Trump is begging for low prices. Investors are now on high alert, ready to freak out over whatever’s next—because who doesn't love living on the edge of geopolitical chaos? Exciting times, indeed!

Acidly: So, it turns out Professor Wesley Sundquist is a bona fide superhero in the lab—after two decades of research, he’s finally cracked the HIV nut. The FDA just approved his brainchild, lenacapavir, which promises to be the long-awaited miracle drug to prevent HIV. Renamed as Yeztugo, it’s apparently more effective than any previous attempt, which is great because, you know, 31,000 Americans still contract HIV annually. So, let's raise a glass to Sundquist—one minor breakthrough at a time in a world full of major disasters. Cheers!
