"We're working with you to do whatever we have to do. We'll use missiles. You want us to use a missile? They're extremely accurate," Trump told a dozen right-wing leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean at his Doral golf club near Miami. "'Piu,' right into the living room," he said, suggesting the sound of a missile in flight. "That's the end of that cartel person. But we'll do whatever you need."
And this gem from over the weekend

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
Meanwhile, the slaughter at sea continues.
No telling what a military that engages in a months long killing spree outside the law might do.

This post sent from what I imagine was 8:30am PT (assuming Kalinowski is on the West Coast) is yet another bright red warning flag at the convergence of several areas where red flags are already littering the landscape: the Trump administration, war, domestic surveillance, AI …
Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.
1% grant scores, not getting funded.
So obviously Trump can't comprehend that Iran is trying to make the US appear as the aggressor (it is/was) and that Iran is providing an off-ramp.
Instead Trump doubles down.
Text from Sunny "I think I'm in ICE detention!"
Screencap of Sunny's phone pinging at Broadview
UPDATE: An attorney I am in contact with, asked for her cell phone number to share with someone with the US Attorney General‘s office to try to find the phone in the facility, conveniently enough shortly after her phone unlocks she sends out this text message 1/3

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

Brian Finucane is a non partisan expert on the laws of war and national security who spent 10 years at the State Dept as an attorney-adviser. Good reasons to follow him considering the straits we're in.
And, because he's a no-b.s. straight shooter.
