The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

This is alarming. My work in sub-Saharan Africa was supported by the Soros foundation. It is appalling to see this kind of political vendetta being pursued by the DoJ.

🚨 A must-read from economist Rob Shapiro 🚨

Rob’s new piece lays out the terrifyingly plausible scenario of an economic "perfect storm" triggered by Donald Trump’s reckless policies—especially his all-encompassing tariff regime.

It’s not just Trump’s trade-destroying tariffs, erratic shifts in policy, and fiscal recklessness. Look at the rule of law—or lack thereof.

Anyone with a family member challenged by neurodiversity or mental illness can related to this story. People who complain about homelessness should take the time to read and understand.

Looking forward to Florida Senator Jason Pizzo's Condo Summit on Tuesday. The fact that he's been able to convene such a large number industry players is impressive. But I worry about the absence of public-interest/affordable-housing representatives.
