  • Trump claimed Wednesday he `authorized` CIA operations as the administration declared an `armed conflict` with drug cartels, according to a confidential notice to members of Congress.
  • The episode fits a larger pattern: The New York Times counted more than 1,700 public curses by Trump in 2024, amid missile strikes off Venezuela and in the Caribbean killing at least 27 people in recent weeks.
