If the #criteria for these strikes on #boats don't include their having #drugs or #weapons on board, how can the strikes be justified?

  9. Harris Visits MAGA Areas of Pennsylvania, to Cut Into Trump’s Edge

    The vice president, who appeared in #Johnstown and #Wilkes-#Barre, said she would
    ❇️ #remove#unnecessary degree #requirements” for some federal jobs,

    a pitch to Mr. Trump’s base of voters without a college education in a part of the state where he expects to perform well.

    Ms. Harris also emphasized her work in California
    ❇️ #prosecuting Mexican #drug #cartels,
    and said as president she would continue to go after them “for pushing poisons like fentanyl on our children.”

    The vice president’s Trump-country pitch amounted to a continuation of her appeal to moderate and right-leaning voters that began at the Democratic National Convention last month
    and continued during Tuesday’s debate with the former president.
