The lawlessness at sea continues

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The U.S. military said on Monday that it had struck another boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing two men as part of a campaign against people the Trump administration accuses of smuggling drugs by sea.

Momentum is building to defeat Ken Sim and ABC this fall. Park Board Commissioner Brennan Bastyovanszky is the third sitting municipal official to join the Liberals, making our progressive party now the third largest caucus in Vancouver municipal politics.

Jesus wept.

Trump’s comments on the Venezuela attack were staggeringly dumb and brazen. In a Fox interview and speech today, he said the U.S. is taking over the nation’s oil, coined ‘Donroe Document,’ and said, “Nobody can stop us.” Here are his wildest remarks.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials. Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Breaking news: President Trump ordered a “total and complete blockade” of all sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, a dramatic escalation in his months-long pressure campaign against the government of President Nicolás Maduro.

In 1946, the Canadian Army wanted to test if a Soviet invasion could come through the Arctic. This led to Operation Musk Ox, an epic expedition across 5,000 km of the Canadian North in the dead of winter. This is the story. 📸 NWT Archives N-1979-052-2141 🧵 1/10

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k. These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day"). Unemployment is now up to 4.6%. This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

As I often do, looking at the Halifax Citadel today thinking what an utterly miserable place it would have been for a private soldier throughout most of its 250 year history. Brrr.

He isn’t the least bit curious why that might be, eh?

Scalise on GOP healthcare plan: "Car insurance or your homeowners insurance - you turn on the TV, there are commercials w/ lizards & all kinds of other animals that are selling you options to get lower insurance. You don't really have that in health insurance. So we want to open up the marketplace"

The father and son accused of carrying out the terrorist attack in Bondi Beach appear to have been inspired by the Islamic State group, as authorities confirmed the two men had traveled to the Philippines the month before the deadly shooting.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it? TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Wh…why not?

While police have not made any arrests in the Brown University shooting, officials say there is “no reason to believe that anyone in Providence is unsafe,” a spokesperson for the city’s mayor told The Post. Live updates here:

This mishandling by authorities is inexcusable. And Trump should not have gotten involved, posting misinformation about a “suspect in custody” over the Brown University shootings. Unbelievable.

As a result, the most likely outcomes in 2026 are: 1. Mark Carney gets his majority. 2. Poilievre “wins” his leadership review (~70%). 3. There’s no election until 2029 by which point both Carney and Poilievre may be gone of their own accord.
