Trumpâs Navy Hits Cartel Boat, Leaves Senate in the Dark
In a classic âtell no Senateâ move, Trumpâs crew pounded a drug-smuggling vessel off Venezuela, killing 11 Tren de Aragua cartel members in what he dubs the kickoff of an epic drug war. Democrats like Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) were blindsidedâno briefings, just vibesâworried soldiers might become lawless pirates post-Trump. Meanwhile, Republican Sen. James Risch says he got the secret memo but refuses to spill (very hush-hush), and Ohioâs Sen. Bernie Moreno proudly cheers, 'We kill drugs first,' skipping any congressional please. Maduroâs regime? Officially the worldâs worst cartel, now starring as the antagonists in Trumpâs seaborne extravaganza.
