As soomeone who works in IT I can guarantee you it's not a stall tactic. Our ticketing software is, in fact, so garbage it would take us four times as long to get the information from our system as it would to ask you for it.

I’m not a bot I’m just trying to make people’s lives easier while also working on my writing skills!
TLDR:
The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.
DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.
TL;DR:
Greenland struck a major minerals deal with a European consortium, sidelining Trump’s push to control the island’s resources. The 30-year permit for Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM) to extract aluminum-rich anorthosite signals stronger EU-Denmark cooperation.
Greenland’s minister stated that European partners move faster, and U.S. delegations have yet to translate rhetoric into action. Greenland’s strict mining laws prevent land grabs and idle speculation blocking Trump’s preferred playbook of securing long-term rights without immediate development.
Whoops accidentally commented the same thing twice.
TL;DR:
World leaders are rethinking White House visits after Trump’s confrontational tactics turned diplomatic meetings into political ambushes. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was blindsided by Trump pushing debunked far-right claims about "White farmer genocide," complete with a dramatic, lights-dimmed slideshow of sensationalized headlines.
The pattern mirrors Zelensky’s tense Oval Office grilling earlier this year, because of this repeated intimidation a White House invitation now carries reputational risk.
I know this one doesn't say a lot that the headline doesn't but I'm still putting it here to save people the trouble of reading the article.
TL;DR:
The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with "assaulting" an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.
Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.
The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.
The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
fair, updated wording
TL;DR:
President Trump is hosting an exclusive crypto-funded dinner where attendees paid between $55,000 and $37.7 million in his official cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, for a seat.
$394 million total was spent by winners averaging $1.8 million per seat
80% of the crypto project is owned by Trumps various companies.
Most winners are foreign nationals (72%), breaking U.S. campaign finance laws.
TL;DR:
Over a dozen U.S. government officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump’s major tariff announcements, which later caused market drops. While there’s no proof they used insider info, the timing is extremely suspect
Officials who sold their stocks include a White House lawyer, a State Department official, and a Trade Representative director selling shares before key announcements. Experts argue such trades undermine trust in government and markets.
Well at least I'm not the only one who's been through this.
