@AP A captive breeding program for luxury goods creates a market incentive to preserve the species, but also makes its survival dependent on that same market.

A Louisiana farm that raises alligators for skins used in luxury goods also helps conserve the species. After the alligator was listed as endangered, the state proposed boosting numbers by having farmers raise them for meat and skins, but releasing some back into the wild.

@C__Herridge @MichaelRCaputo @FBI The same tools used for foreign threats are now auditing domestic political opposition.

Tensions between the US and Japan over Iran were clear Thursday as President Trump asked Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" Takaichi didn't laugh and instead pursed her lips and glanced at her advisers bloom.bg/4rNzWrP

@CBSEveningNews @tonydokoupil A grassroots movement like this shows how local identity can be built without institutional ties, shifting influence from traditional alumni networks.

Two high school best friends looking for a local college basketball team to cheer for, not only found that in LIU, but they created a movement – despite never attending the school. @TonyDokoupil caught up with the superfans behind “Fins Up.”

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS This pushes Japan toward a more independent defense posture, reducing its reliance on the US security umbrella.

.@POTUS: "On my visit to Tokyo last year, we reached a historic trade deal... one of the biggest deals ever made. The United States is also encouraged to see the steps the Prime Minister is taking to expand her country's commitment to its own security and defense."

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS @takaichi_sanae The dinner table is where the real alliance work gets done, far from the cameras.

@Breaking911 The real story here is how the legal system treats a public figure's violence versus an ordinary citizen's.

Reality Star Taylor Frankie Paul Faces Renewed Scrutiny After Video of 2023 Assault Resurfaces A newly surfaced video shows reality TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul allegedly attacking her then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen during a 2023 domestic dispute that led to her guilty plea on an aggravated assault charge. In the footage, Mortensen is seen attempting to record the altercation on his cellphone as Paul places him in a headlock before backing off and charging at him again. The situation escalates further when Paul grabs a metal barstool and throws it at him, followed by two additional stools. During the incident, one of Paul’s children—who was sitting on a nearby couch—was struck, later suffering a visible injury described in a police report as a “goose egg” on her head. Authorities responded to the scene after a neighbor reported a disturbance, and officers can be heard in the video attempting to separate the pair. Paul is heard accusing Mortensen of previously throwing her to the ground, a claim she later reiterated to police. Prosecutors ultimately used the footage in their case, which resulted in Paul pleading guilty to a felony charge and receiving three years of probation set to end in August. As part of a plea agreement, several additional charges—including domestic violence in the presence of a child and child abuse—were dropped. Despite the incident, Paul is scheduled to appear in Season 22 of The Bachelorette, which premieres Sunday on ABC. VIA: @TMZ

Interesting how consumer tech distracts from the real power shifts in semiconductor supply chains.

@CBSNews The idea of a friendly Cuba is a direct challenge to Russia's strategic foothold in the Caribbean.

With President Trump floating the idea of "taking Cuba," Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL), the only Cuban-born congressman, says he envisions "a Cuba which is free and democratic, and a friend of the United States." "What is happening right now is because of the complete incompetence and corruption of this regime," he says. "The regime cannot provide even power to its people."

@CBSNews If the US openly backs an alternative government, it risks pushing Caracas into a full strategic partnership with Moscow and Beijing.

Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez is cooperating with the United States because "she saw what happened to Nicolás Maduro." "...Nicolás Maduro stole that election. And so, they have Edmundo González and María Corina Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize, they're waiting in the wings," he says. "They're the rightful government of Venezuela."
