Screenshot of a court filing, which is linked in machine-readable form in the tweet. The following lines are highlighted in yellow: "We were told we were being deported to Venezuela."

A screenshot of text from a Financial Times article. It reads: Flight records show the three planes left Texas between 5.25pm and 7.36pm Eastern time for Soto Cano air base in Honduras, which is jointly operated by the US military. Cartwright said the stop raised questions. “There’s really no reason for them to stop there, particularly for several hours,” he said. “These planes can easily fly directly to El Salvador, they don’t need to refuel.” “One speculation is that there was to be a transfer to Venezuela . . . and for whatever reason, that fell apart, and the planes went on to El Salvador,” Cartwright said. “Another explanation is that El Salvador needed more time: maybe the planes were rushed out of the US before the court hearing and they needed to be parked for a few hours while El Salvador readied their media and military apparatus.”

Two dotted lines (for the 2020 campaigns) arc up and to the right, while a red line (for Trump) is far below, nearly flat. The line for Biden and Harris is the highest, with a particularly pronounced jump in the last three weeks.
Two side-by-side charts show daily ad spending on Meta platforms for Labour and the Conservatives. The Labour chart quickly ramps up to £250,000 per day in spending, before falling when the spending caps kick in on May 30. The Conservatives chart is much smaller by comparison, with only a fraction of Labour’s spending and much less spent on candidates.

A screenshot from the FT reading: What's happened now? The artificial intelligence company OpenAI fired its co-founder Sam Altman, who then joined Microsoft. Some other people have changed their jobs too but none is as famous as Altman. Do I need to care? Not really, unless you're a Microsoft shareholder, in which case you still don't need to care that much.
