The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself. Got it.

This is one of the most accurate explanations & predictions I’ve seen. Thank you, Secretary Rubio. Were you lying then? Or, has the republic completely crumbled?

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

It isn't a war. If it were, the strikes are still war crimes.
The drugs weren't headed to the U.S.
The people killed were likely poor, low-level smugglers, not drug lords.
Most overdose deaths are from fentanyl. Fentanyl doesn't come from South America.
Everything else Marshall says is correct!

Sen. Roger Marshall defends Hegseth: "Look, we're losing 200 Americans every day to drug poisoning from these drug lords. This is a war. And it's ugly. War is never pretty ... that strike probably saved thousands of American lives."

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.
Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.
