A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).
Wall Street Journal:
"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

Pope Leo Confronts Trump: Don’t Invade Venezuela — and No “Solo Deal” in Ukraine
Leo delivered twin admonitions aimed at Donald Trump’s foreign policy gambits — urging dialogue instead of a military ouster in Venezuela, and insisting any plan for Ukraine peace must include Europe.

A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
