  3. In each of the incidents, a high-end business jet equipped with specialized surveillance technology flew from El Salvador in the direction of the #FishingBoats on the days of the strikes & in the days prior, according to flight- & ship-tracking data. Details about the plane, & the pattern of its flights before the incidents, suggest that it may be linked to the secret #CIA program.

  4. The strikes are separate from the #Pentagon’s campaign against alleged drug boats that began last fall. Those strikes have been fiercely criticized by #HumanRights groups & most Democratic lawmakers, who say they are #extrajudicial #murders. The admin has justified the strikes by equating “narco-terrorists” with militants assaulting the #US.

  5. While many details about the #CIA’s involvement were not clear, one person with knowledge of the matter said the strikes were part of a “covert action” program, a type of secret operation overseas that is approved by the president but where the role of the #US government is not publicly acknowledged. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.

  6. Crap. Now #Trump is saying he’ll just wait until #JohnCornyn & #ThomTillis leave the #Senate, & then he’ll re-nominate #ToddBlanche.

    Trump suggested Thursday that he could withdraw Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, as a standoff continues with the 2 Republican senators who are demanding concessions from the admin before supporting Blanche.

  7. Regarding the #voterID bill #Trump is strong-arming #Congress into passing, the #Senate has tried & failed FIVE TIMES SINCE MARCH to force it through to appease him.

    The package of national voting restrictions called the “SAVE America Act” would require a photo ID to vote in federal #elections & proof of #US #citizenship to register, while compelling #states to turn over their voter registration ​rolls to the #federal government.

  11. Joan Brugge has worked for nearly 50 years as a cancer scientist, studying the earliest signs that someone might become sick. Then the #Trump admin canceled her lab’s funding. The admin’s attacks on #medicine, #culture, & #education — which include verbal #threats & #funding cuts—are about more than just budgeting & bravado.

  12. The letter landed like a thud on Saturday in the inbox of #Harvard University’s president, Alan M. Garber.

    The message, from Linda McMahon, Trump’s “education” secretary, conveyed an understanding of an emerging deal between Harvard & the White House that flew in the face of the terms the #university had been insisting on.
