The Trump administration’s military strikes off South America may be undercutting the U.S.’s long-standing campaign against more powerful drug cartels in Colombia and Mexico, experts tell Missy Ryan and Marie-Rose Sheinerman.

"To Americans pinched by rising prices," China's deflation may seem enviable, Michael Schuman writes. But "the risk is that China tumbles into a long-term deflationary spiral that saps growth":

NYT: Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago): “This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,” and “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

Let me translate from Fox Male Small Dick to English: Pete Hegseth admitted to blowing human beings into pieces who posed no threat. Yes, that’s what our cut-rate, frat-rat, dumb-bro Christian Nationalist masquerading as a serious person did.

Run Rabbit Run. Trump the Bone Spur coward runs from everything.

Anyone wanna guess who the President of Honduras was when THIS happened?👇 www.nytimes.com/2017/10/23/w...

“…I don’t think ‘contradictions’ is the right word here; how about ‘flaming hypocrisy with hair on it?’” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Agree or disagree?

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Bacon has been interesting lately. Maybe he wants to get it on the record that it is a violation, and this is how he’s doing it…so he can later say he’s shocked Hegseth would commit such a violation when he is provided proof.

This is the political version of ”I’m sure my friend didn’t burn the house down on purpose.”

GOP is so predictable. The crime is so bad that the propaganda (It’s war, we’re protecting the US) doesn’t convince anyone then they resort to gaslighting. “It never happened, it’s a hoax” There better be arrests and accountability. It better be all the way up the chain of command.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't think Secretary Hegseth would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, 'Kill everybody. Kill the survivors,' because that's a clear violation of the law of war."

LOL at the first 9 words. Not LOL that Hegseth intentionally murdered people. Yes, he violated the law.

go.bsky.app/THEFPEt Pete Hegseth is a murderer. He is ordering 100 percent deaths to all people on the boats in the Atlantic Ocean coming from South America. In September one boat was bombed. 2 survivors clung to the boat. Another bomb blew them up. This is senseless killing. Follow and protest.

Not a word of this is true. Even the word "the."

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

Dear Republican Christians: Please explain to me, like I am your child in church, how a man who has been inciting violence in America for years is a "martyr" or "hero" after a shooter tried to do to him exactly what he laughed about doing to others.

Money… How much he charged for 🇭🇳 former president pardon? It’s not about drugs. It’s all about the money.

Ukrainian soldiers on the eastern front called the original Trump peace plan capitulation and said they would refuse orders to abandon positions still held in Donetsk if issued, though many expressed exhaustion and hope for peace, NBC News reported. nbcnews.com/world/ukrain...

Allies including defeated Hitler. Their mistake was failing to defeat his partner Stalin. The US was worse - we ARMED him with Lend Lease - as he continued his genocides and wars. We put him on the UN Security Council. Western Europeans rewarded them at the expense of the East

The best thing about this administration is that they can’t stop confessing

There are far saner people institutionalized than this lying lunatic. The crazy criminal should be in a straight jacket and sedated.

#GVerse The man who shoot those two West Virginia National Guard in DC was working with the CIA. He was vetted by #Shit4Brain's administration. #Shitface is lying about everything.

Like dictators before him, Trump’s road to tyranny is paved with hate. We will not succumb to the ravings of a venomous president who wants us to hate each other. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-the-bigot-in-the-oval
