Tom Cotton says the two guys in the water were trying to upright the boat and stay in the fight.
Have you ever tried to upright a canoe in the water? It's really hard. So here's a boat about 20 times bigger than a canoe. The cotton assertion is stupid.

Smoking on planes? Sure. Its your right. Those who want clean air can bring a respirator.
Food standards, toxic waste disposal, air quality? All left up to corporations.

Being a nerd, I like the science related to ice cores and ancient ice.
This ice found in East Antarctica is the oldest ever found, shattering the ridiculous biblical myth of a young 5000 year old earth.

Costco is suing the Dictator in the WH for the financial harm his tariffs are causing American consumers.

Most people don't have enough money to save for retirement, but sure, Health Savings Accounts will totally work in place of Health insurance.

Trump approval overall is 36%. That's bad, but even worse, among Rs, it's 84%.
R approval was 91% just a month ago.
R support is down 7% in a month. That's the story.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
