Spanish Police Make Record-Breaking Cocaine Bust in Atlantic Ocean

Spanish authorities have seized what could be the largest cocaine shipment ever recorded at sea, intercepting a cargo vessel off the coast of Western Sahara near the Canary Islands.

The operation, led by the Guardia Civil, resulted in the confiscation of between 35 and 45 tons of cocaine. The ship, reportedly named Arconian, was stopped in international waters and brought to Las Palmas. This massive drug bust highlights the ongoing challenges of international drug trafficking and Spain's key role in intercepting narcotics bound for Europe.

The seizure is being hailed as a major victory in the fight against organized crime.

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
