Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.
AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats.
"They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services"

Let Them Eat AI-Generated Cake
Elon Musk and the coming twilight of the elites.
"You donβt have to be a wild-eyed leftist to think all of this has a pre-French Revolution vibe. It feels like a 'let them eat cake' momentβand thatβs to say nothing about the Trumpist kleptocracy that competes every day for headlines with our Muskian plutocracy."

A White House official said Thursday night that Trump approved the pardons for Casada and Cothren because the Department of Justice under Trumpβs Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, βsignificantly over-prosecuted these individuals for a minor issue.β
The official spoke on background to discuss a pardon that had not yet been publicly released, but said the case against Casada and Cothren involved constituent mailers, which were billed at competitive prices, and that the case was brought despite prosecutors not having received a complaint from legislators.
The scheme also resulted in a net profit loss of less than $5,000, said the official, who noted that the case featured an armed raid, perp walk and the potential for lengthy prison terms β things often more appropriate for federal cases involving frauds worth multiple millions of dollars.
Why is the Associated Press letting a White House official speak anonymously about why Trump pardoned a corrupt Tennessee Republican politician? And for 3 whole paragraphs, providing the defense that he only got $5,000 from his illegal scheme, which makes it OK In Trumpworld.
