It’s not news, and it would have added nothing new at the time. It’s, at best, colour commentary. Perfect for a book, but not news-worthy. Barely even interesting, frankly

So, he has chronic venous insufficiency (reported this year) and a high calcium score indicating plaques (reported 2018), but he's in "excellent overall health"?

No, it's not true that as a vet I Google answers to anything. I have trustworthy informational sources from other vets and veterinary specialists that I use if I need to learn something new.
I don't use AI either.

He’s losing, but they ignore those courts and appeal up to SCOTUS. They continue to ignore court orders while pretending they’re not. Sure, they’re losing, but it’s a meaningless loss. Expensive, but meaningless.

Even if he had a Red Notice, it would just mean he couldn’t travel to places he’s unlikely to go anyway, correct?

The US would never allow Hegseth to be subject to any charge from the ICC, as the US is not a signatory to that system of justice. He wouldn’t need a pardon. Although there’s always the possibility of a Red Notice

The school must know the location of students who choose not to go to class? That seems very invasive……I understand knowing in class or not, but if a student isn’t in class it’s not their right to know where they are, in my opinion

As minister Luccock said in 1938: “When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled 'made in Germany'; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, 'Americanism'.”

Trump is of the "who's gonna stop me?" school of dictatorship. He doesn't care what the laws are, and relishes his opportunity to delay a decision in court for years until it no longer matters.
