This Thursday, here's a quick catch-up of news highlights NOT directly related to the Epstein scandal:
- After 125 days detained in El Salvador, Andry Hernández Romero is finally home in Venezuela and talking to reporters. One of our readers commented on Reddit, “I don’t know if I can say it’s good news due to the grisly experience he went through, but I am truly happy he is home.”
- We have an update on the death of queer celebrity chef Anne Burrell, and Kaiser Permanente announced it's ending gender-affirming surgeries for patients under 19.
- In weirder news, disgraced former GOP congressman George Santos is spiraling on social media as he prepares to report for prison, and South Park is basically daring Trump to sue them with their latest episode.
Until tomorrow,
