Cotton actually chuckled when asked to describe the footage he had just seen of the second strike that killed the survivors of the first strike.

“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."

I'll be honest: I do not care if these artists ever get paid. You perform at the Trumpified Kennedy Center, you should expect to get the full Trump treatment (which often means that you're getting screwed over).

For the first time in decades, child deaths rose this year. In fact, nearly 250,000 more children died in 2025 than in 2024. Much of that can be laid at the feet of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as closing USAID caused hundreds of thousands of people to die.

Not at all concerning, given the current political alignments of the tech giants that own and operate them
New: AI chatbots can change voters' minds, according to a pair of in-depth studies published just now in Science and Nature.

How they do it is interesting — and concerning. Gift link: wapo.st/49RSstP
Voters’ minds are hard to change. AI chatbots are surprisingly good at it.
New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people’s political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.

The strikes on September 2 were:

- Within Venezuelan waters
- A good 2,500 km from Florida
- In a small speedboat

Even if this boat was absolutely loaded with drugs (which there's no proof of!) there is no physical way a small speedboat was navigating 2,500 km, through the Caribbean, to US soil

Much is being made, including by me, of how these mooks stood there grinning as Trump spewed a steady stream of vile racism appalling even for him. But watch Antonio Filosa, the Italian CEO of Stellantis (formerly Chrysler)
