TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "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've got new details coming soon on what lawmakers saw on the video of the second strike and what they heard in the classified briefing today. It's deeply unnerving stuff. Stay tuned.

Holding ourselves to account over the boat strike isn’t about the traffickers or the boat… it’s about us

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

My orange boy is perfect; he restores my soul
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of blue, I fear no evil, for orange is with me
His hiss and his slorp, they comfort me
He prepares a hairball before me in the presence of guests
My cup runneth over. Please take your paw out of my cup

Meet on of the brightest frogs in the Amazon
This is the Splashed-back Poison Dart Frog.
It’s a small but highly toxic species found in lowland rainforest, where its vivid pattern warns predators to stay far away.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

In the original catalog it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - One-armed. Its unusual shape may come from interactions with its companion.
