In 1803, four U.S. diplomats turned a French financial crisis into an American opportunity—securing 828,000 square miles and doubling the size of the nation.

… — spearheaded by the precision and professionalism of our Marines and Sailors of Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere aboard USS San Antonio — fractured a primary artery of this illicit logistics chain and sent an unmistakable message to narco-terrorists across the region." - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L.

U.S. Marines and Sailors, launched from USS San Antonio (LPD 17), interdicted, boarded, searched, and cleared the vessel without incident. Individuals removed from the vessel were safely escorted to Ecuador. Once cleared, U.S. forces sank the vessel.
This interdiction cuts off a critical node in the traffickers' logistics chain and advances the goals of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) and JTF-WHEM to dismantle narco-terrorist networks. The @DeptofWar and the A3C remain unwavering in their mission to defeat narco-terrorists in the Western Hemisphere and defend our homeland.
"Today's operation is a stark example of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition's power to dismantle the sophisticated, clandestine narco-terrorist tactics and capabilities that have enabled the trafficking of dangerous drugs destined for American communities. Working together with our Ecuadorian partners, our coalition dealt a decisive blow to a narco-terrorist operation responsible for moving significant amounts of drugs through the region. Together with our regional partners, we are committed to defeating narco-terrorists in the Western Hemisphere." - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan
A Bad Week for Antifa Terrorists
… and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world. There will be no refuge for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, assault political opponents, or conspire to conceal their crimes from authorities. We will use all the tools and authorities at our disposal to fight terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist coercion.https://t.co/9cnYZGha7z pic.twitter.com/XXyWXyJDug

Invasive Questions
… they're seeking treatment, and many people hand it over simply because they assume they have to.You do NOT have to blindly fill out every invasive question a doctor's office puts in front of you.
— Children’s Health Defense (@ChildrensHD) August 28, 2026
Twila Brase, president and co-founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, says patients are routinely being asked for information that has little or nothing to do with why…
Brase pushed back herself when an office insisted she complete its electronic forms. Eventually a supervisor told her the truth:
"The only thing you have to sign is the consent to be treated."
You have the right to question why your medical provider wants certain information and what will happen to it once you hand it over.
Chinese Bot Farm
… accounts total.X just suspended a 200,000-account Chinese bot farm today. Here's what you need to know.

X's Global Government Affairs team and X Safety investigated suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts running influence operations on the platform. They found a bot farm of roughly 200,000… https://t.co/YPzyyTHEi0 pic.twitter.com/yF3FMpzHTR
Within that farm, X identified about 200 accounts posting in a way meant to manipulate legitimate U.S. debate over AI data centers and energy policy. Many of these accounts posed as ordinary Americans, and their posts pushed claims that AI data centers are driving up electricity costs.
Key numbers:
- ~200,000 total accounts in the bot farm
- ~200 accounts targeting AI data center and energy policy debate
X says the accounts have been suspended, and the platform frames this as part of a broader pattern of foreign influence operations shaping U.S. policy discussions.
Canada Doesn’t Refine Enough of It’s Own Fuel

Canada just threatened to cut off 4 million barrels of crude a day.💥
Sam Romain’s reply should haunt Ottawa:

Shut the pipeline? Fine.
You’re not getting any gas.”

A Fitting Tribute
… Parton’s extraordinary life is forever woven into the fabric of our state,” Lee says, calling her Tennessee’s “favorite daughter.”Dolly Parton gave her heart, soul, and music to Tennessee — and to the rest of the world. She is a true American idol, and renaming Nashville airport in her honor is a 100% fitting tribute. https://t.co/4diX0QY8So
— Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) August 29, 2026
The proposal follows an outpouring of public support, including a petition that has topped 155,000 verified signatures. The airport authority is set to discuss the tribute at its Sept. 17 meeting.
