TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

It was physically impossible for that boat to reach anywhere close to the United States, even before it was a flaming upside-down wreck, and Tom Cotton knows that. He's not that stupid, he just thinks everyone else is. This kind of dishonesty is inseparable from egotistical arrogance.

Some public servants may have been forced to leave the federal government, but they surely have not stopped fighting for the American people.
Today we’re bringing together hundreds of former federal workers, government leaders, and public service experts at our first Civil Service Strong Convening.
We’re dedicated to turning this current governmental crisis into a catalyst for generational change.

Hegseth stonewalled IG, refusing 1) to provide his phone for IG to probe other uses of Signal; 2) to sit for interview w/ IG. We only know about Yemeni Signal chat b/ Waltz added Goldberg to it by mistake. The scale and scope of Hegseth's security breaches still remain unknown even after IG report.
Officials reported the Secretary used additional Signal chats for DoD business. IG couldn’t verify content because he refused to provide phone access.

Former Judge Andrew Napolitano, who worked alongside Pete Hegseth for years at Fox, says the Sept. 2 boat strike is "an act of a war crime."
"Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of Defense, to the admiral, to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted."

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.

And just like that, in a single statement, Zohran has already taken a bolder and more clear eyed stance on the present immigration regime than basically all of national democratic leadership
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
