Umm, why? I thought we were attacking drug runners...but maybe only some? I'm confused. Maybe we're just blowing up fishing boats in the Caribbean and it's not really about stopping drugs. 😳

Cop30 live: summit president warns ‘everybody will lose’ if countries fail to cooperate André Corrêa do Lago issues plea to preserve Paris agreement with countries far from reaching agreement on scheduled final day

Bas Eickhout of Euro Parliament’s delegation to #COP30 says

🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

Well, that's going to sting. Other countries are likely withholding intelligence even if not officially like the UK. Good on them! I wouldn't want to be complicit either.

Hopefully we get something done!

Cleaning worker who mistakenly went to wrong home fatally shot: Police The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

RFK literally running away from a man who has collapsed and needs help is... so on the nose.

Tragically, he is the head of our Health and Human Services Department.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

What a lovely, honest living 🙄
