And the administration seizing social funds for several states, including Minnesota, that goes to social programs. All right, there's a lot of other stuff happening today, Ed, including the US military seizing an additional two oil tankers linked to Venezuela. What can you tell us? We know that they were seized early this morning. The one that was seized up in the waters towards Iceland was one that the United States had its eye on for several weeks, the Bella 1. This is that ship that had tried to paint a Russian flag on its side and claimed it was protected by Russia. The United States saw it as a false flag operation, that this was part of a Venezuelan shadow fleet that had been moving sanctioned Venezuelan oil out of that country. It was captured just a little while ago. Our own James LaPorta reported that Navy SEALs were the ones that boarded the Bella 1 and took control of that vessel. There was another one, a Cameroonian-flagged vessel, also seized today in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. It is headed towards the United States now. That was another vessel tied up in sanctioned Venezuelan oil and is headed now towards the United States, according to the White House.
