Dear Senator Paul:
In response to your letter dated October 6, 2025, regarding the Coast Guard's efforts to interdict illicit drugs headed towards the United States since September 1, 2024, I offer the following:
1. From September 1, 2024, to October 7, 2025, Coast Guard surface assets, operating under Coast Guard law enforcement authority, interdicted 212 suspected drug-smuggling vessels at sea headed toward the United States. Of the 212 interdictions, 41 vessels had no illicit contraband on board when interdicted; 24 of those 41 vessels without contraband did not appear to commit any federal criminal offense.
2. Of the 212 total vessels interdicted during this period, 69 vessels were interdicted in the Caribbean Sea by Coast Guard surface assets, operating under Coast Guard law enforcement authority. Of these 69 interdictions, 14 had no illicit contraband on board when interdicted; 11 of those 14 vessels without contraband did not appear to commit any federal criminal offense. Of the 69 Caribbean interdictions, 14 vessels were interdicted off the coast of Venezuela. Three of the 14 vessels interdicted near Venezuela had no illicit contraband on board when interdicted, but one of the three violated other U.S. federal criminal statutes.
3. The Coast Guard did not use lethal force against any of the 212 vessels interdicted at sea during this period. The Coast Guard used non-lethal force to warn and/or disable non-compliant vessels suspected of smuggling on 105 occasions during this period.
4. Of the 212 interdictions conducted by the Coast Guard from September 1, 2024, to October 7, 2025,
208 were interdicted in international waters.
5. Of the 212 interdictions conducted by the Coast Gu…

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

If Rand Paul is on his ass I can confirm two things

1. Even the worst people on the planet hate Pete Hegseth

2. My electoral platform of β€œdrop Pete Hegseth into a vat of crabs” is viable and accepting donors now

Cis woman. I will scope out the parking situation in advance if I’m going to a city I’m unfamiliar with, or if I want to weigh the cost to park vs the cost of a Lyft. Otherwise I don’t think about it

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

Part 1: My Life Is a Lie How a Broken Benchmark Quietly Broke America

We have a β€œpoverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.

The β€œpoverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being β€œpoor”.

Which is why the rage.

A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe Any Lucia Lopez Belloza was at Logan to catch a flight to Texas when immigration authorities detained her as she was about to board the plane.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.
