- What drugs were they allegedly carrying? (unlikely to be fentanyl)
- What was the destination? (Rubio said most bound for Europe, not US)

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.
