Seven U.S. soldiers were reportedly hurt in the recent attack on Venezuela. A Pentagon official told "MS Now" this morning that seven soldiers were injured in the operation to capture Nicolás Maduro and his wife, and that five of the seven have already recovered from their injuries. Venezuelan officials claim that over 70 people were killed in the raid.        The White House is not ruling out military force in its desire to control Greenland. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that gaining control of the Danish territory is a national security priority for the U.S., and that the administration is discussing several options for acquiring it, including the military.        The Pentagon says it will execute a review of women in ground combat roles. The review announced Tuesday is meant to determine their effectiveness 10 years after the Defense Department lifted restrictions against women from serving in combat. Thousands of women serve in the U.S. military.        A Tennessee college professor is being reinstated after he was fired for a social media post he made following the death of Charlie Kirk. After Kirk's death last September, the associate professor posted a headline quoting Charlie Kirk saying gun deaths in the U.S. were worth it to keep the 2nd Amendment. The teacher was fired for posting the headline.        The head of the world's largest chipmaker is calling robots "A.I. immigrants" who could solve a worldwide labor shortage. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spoke Tuesday in Las Vegas, and said robots will create jobs by doing work on the manufacturing floor that humans don't want to do anymore, because "when the economy grows, we hire more people."        Pope Leo closed out the Catholic Church's Holy Year Tuesday with a call for Christians to treat foreigners with kindness. The Holy Year, or Jubilee, usually happens every 25 years and is looked on as a time of peace and forgiveness.
