If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

The Supreme Court ruling has helped the family of one man in particular: the architect of Trumpโs tariffs himself.
A firm headed by Lutnickโs sons was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event tariffs were struck down. trib.al/JcwQ9MT

WASHINGTON (AP) - Judge says government can't take Kilmar Abrego Garcia into immigration custody because it lacks viable deportation plan.
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

WIN: The Virginia Supreme Court authorized an April special election in which voters will decide whether the state should redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.
If passed, Democrats could gain four more seats in Congress, leaving Republicans with just one of 11 seats.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
Itโs not about what this country can or canโt afford.
Itโs about priorities.

Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

President Trump's lawyers have told a court he shouldn't have to respond to lawsuits because it would distract him from running the government.
But he's found time to bring lawsuits of his own, against the New York Times and even against his own administration.

In total, the study estimates that there are 28,725 foreign-born workers in Idaho, and removing that entire population would result in a 4.6% drop in gross state product, resulting in a capital loss of $5.1 billion.
