The military strike in Caribbean is VERY worrisome. Drug smuggling is a crime, a felony punishable by up to life in prison. Not punishable by the death penalty. The heavily armed U.S. Coast Guard stops drug smuggling boats 24/7, 365. The military performed an extrajudicial execution without trial.

In a moment of cognitive decline, Trump contradicts himself in a matter of seconds saying he didn't hear that people thought he was dead - to saying he got reports of the situation. If this is quelling rumors of his decline it's not working.

Trump just authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as immigration judges - effectively doubling the bench overnight. Courts are supposed to be independent, not staffed by the Pentagon. This is how you turn immigration into a battlefield instead of due process.
