"Looks like Honduras is trying to change the results of their Presidential Election. If they do, there will be hell to pay!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

12+ min ago (279+ words) President Donald Trump is facing harsh criticism from Republican senators in solidly red states over his exploding drug policy scandals. According to Semafor's Burgess Everett, several GOP senators are upset both over recent reports that Trump's military command ordered the illegal shooting of shipwreck survivors from a ship targeted as a suspected drug trafficking operation, and his pardoning of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hern'ndez from a 45-year drug trafficking sentence. Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) called the shooting of maritime survivors "not acceptable," and said that while he still stands behind Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in general, "if he made that decision, I think he's made a bad decision." (Hegseth, while still defending the order, has said it was given by Admiral Mitch Bradley and not himself.) Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who has been sounding the alarm on the…...

29+ min ago (160+ words) The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board on Monday slammed President Donald Trump's strikes against alleged drug boats in international waters and argued the move could backfire on the president. The Trump administration has conducted more than a dozen strikes against alleged drug boats since taking office, moves that have killed nearly 100 people. The strikes have inspired significant debate among legal experts and have seemed to split Trump's MAGA base. The Journal's editorial board argued that Trump deserves "wide latitude" on the strikes, but added that Trump risks losing support for the strikes because he has offered scant evidence to support his claims that they are justified. "The drug-boat war is presenting questions of presidential power and America's role in the world that will continue long after President Trump leaves Washington, and good for lawmakers who appreciate the stakes," the…...

When trust is broken, it's not just a symbolic bond that is severed: the entire structure upon which communal life rests collapses. And Chile has been eroding that foundation for years without wanting to acknowledge it, even though reality demonstrates it every day. The recent episode involving parliamentarians Cristi'n Araya and Mat'as Walker, who shamelessly admitted to receiving 1.7 million pesos from Sergio Y'ber, the Property Registrar of Puente Alto, implicated in the "Belarusian Doll" case, is yet another unequivocal sign that we are facing a public decline that has erased all boundaries between unethical behavior, immorality, and outright criminality. Very few dare to denounce this public decline. That is why the voice of Archbishop Fernando Chomali is so valuable. He…...

Thom Tillis (R-NC) delivered a sharp rebuke on Monday following reports on the Pentagon's controversial boat strike, in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was reported to have authorized a second attack on survivors of an initial strike.
