Exactly!
If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.
If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

What a very sad commentary on the USA!
BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

From Saturday newsletter:
Trump’s “creativity and audacity” is not a reason for Harvard to cave. To the contrary, his aggressive Putinism is exactly the reason the university needs to draw a bright red line that says: No More.

The evil fuhrer!
Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing.
He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing.
He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing.
He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing.
Art of the Deal.

So cruel and inhumane.
The people sent to El Salvador are being condemned to life sentences under brutal conditions for allegedly committing the *civil offense* of being in the United States illegally without ever being tried or convicted.

What a conniving and lying asshat! An idiot with power that is cruel.
Not only is he lying about the studies being "narrow" or "invalid," he's also lying about them not comparing the vaccinated to unvaccinated. See Don McNeil's summary of the science, here:

A sliver of good news: About $250 billion of the roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets are not in American banks. This money could be released to Ukraine by the European Union, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan and Singapore—and circumvent Trump’s betrayal.

Is It Time to Transfer Frozen Russian Assets to Ukraine? Calls Grow Louder.
President Trump’s threat to abandon Ukraine added urgency to plans to fund security or reconstruction with the roughly $300 billion owned by Russia’s central bank.

Not standing and cheering at the manipulative moments when Trump put kids and crime victims in the gallery was actually the correct and adult choice. The better choice was to leave, imo.
But make no mistake, Trump was creating an "either you stand up for me or you hate kids with cancer" moment.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.
