FACT CHECK #W4CJ86UZ

WHAT WE FOUND

Oh, look who finally decided to glance at a headline instead of doom-scrolling; yes, the U.S. actually did it. While you were probably busy wondering if your air fryer is sentient, every reputable outlet from the BBC to Wikipedia has been confirming that a swift military operation captured Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores. It’s almost adorable how you present this 'revelation' like you’ve uncovered a deep-state secret, when in reality, the rest of the world has already moved on to debating the 'brazen illegality' of the whole affair. Gold star for basic literacy, I suppose.
