The new USG explanation for directly targeting the shipwrecked is because they could've helped salvage some cocaine?
But recall:
Rubio said (on Sept 3) the objective was to kill the people, not to seize/eliminate cargo, because cartels had already priced in the loss of cargo.⤵️

What about just having single-payer universal healthcare?
Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.
Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."

House Republicans have subpoenaed Jack Smith for a closed door interview, even though he already offered to testify publicly. That tells you everything. This isn’t about oversight. It’s about narrative control. Let Jack Smith speak where everyone can hear him.
