“Nuclear-powered submarine” is basically redundant these days for the US, since they all are and have been since 2007. It can be safely assumed that a reference to a “Nuclear Submarine” in this context is one that is nuclear-armed.

Plot twist: their position on hate speech is in favour, and her role will be to develop ways to encourage it.

I don’t know if it was updated, but the current title of the article is “Norway Issues Travel Update For US”, which better reflects what they did.

“Jeffrey Combs as Big Bird”

Doesn’t he realize it’s not just about his situation, but for everyone else who’s also impacted by this?

Actually, no. Studies have shown that those who lean conservative tend to have a diminished ability to feel empathy. There’s a good chance that he simply cannot comprehend that others could be negatively affected by his actions. In his mind, he’s all that matters.
