BASH: Trump is clearly very concerned about Central & South American presidents allegedly trafficking drugs to the US. So why is he planning to pardon former Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking?

Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

'Successful' Ukrainian naval drone strike disables 2 Russian shadow fleet tankers, source says
The operation targeted ships that, according to the source, could have transported nearly $70 million worth of oil and helped Moscow bypass international sanctions.

Markwayne Mullin says he doesn't believe detailed reporting about Pete Hegseth murdering people at sea because "we're doing alleged sources, nothing has been verified ... I doubt very seriously that took place." (Bash points out that *Republican* leaders are planning to investigate.)

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.

The White House says their peace plan didn’t come from Russia — the problem is it reads like Putin’s wishlist. We need a deal to end the war that actually protects Ukraine and doesn’t reward the war criminal who started this.
