The U.S. military attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Saturday, killing four people, as the Trump administration continues its monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America. The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 231 in 69 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" almost a year ago.

A new government report showing that the administration spent $7 billion paying staff not to work as it pushed its buyouts is sparking the latest round of scrutiny of President Trump's DOGE era.

The report issued Tuesday found that compared with 2023, use of paid leave in 2025 jumped 435 percent.
