They know these strikes are illegal. They're covering up. If a war, you take as prisoners. If criminals, you prosecute. This is all fake.

U.S. to repatriate survivors of drug boat strike to Colombia, Ecuador

It is unclear if the two surviving alleged drug smugglers have any links to Venezuelan criminal organizations.

On the Capitol lawn in Richmond VA today.

The image shows a large government building with classical architectural features, including tall white columns and a triangular pediment. In front of the building, on a green grassy area, are large, free-standing letters that spell out "TAX THE RICH." Several people are gathered on the grass and around the letters, some appear to be holding signs, with the clear blue sky above them. The building has an American flag flying at the top of the pediment.

Seven million marched for democracy on October 18, but polls suggest more than 120 million Americans agree with them. The Silent Majority for Democracy examines what that means, why it matters, and how the republic’s survival now depends on whether belief becomes action.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like

Seven million Americans in the streets. A hundred million more behind them. The movement to reclaim the republic is already here.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Hundreds of No Kings demonstrators in Centennial Saturday morning, Colorado, on Saturday morning. Lots of cars honking in support as demonstrators cheer.

"I'm absolutely shocked," said no one with reliable intuitive skills who's been paying attention to these extrajudicial murders.

Also, Trump keeps tweeting about 'Columbia' and taking away their subsidies.

Does he think he's been bombing university students in the Sailing Club?

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”
