Do you remember Margret Thacher?

And Boris Johnson, who took the UK out of the EU?

Mexico Sends Major Drug Capos to US as Trump Tariff Threat Looms
By Reuters

By Drazen Jorgic, Laura Gottesdiener and Lizbeth Diaz
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico on Thursday handed over major figures in the country's criminal underworld to U.S. authorities, part of a surprise extradition of nearly 30 jailed convicts or others accused of ties to violent drug cartels.
Some are aging gang leaders who reigned over international trafficking rings decades ago focused on cocaine and heroin. Others are much younger leaders engaged in moving large quantities of deadly fentanyl into the U.S. more recently.
Mexican authorities confirmed officials handed over 29 cartel figures to the U.S. The decision follows ongoing threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose across-the-board tariffs on Mexican goods, which he said on Thursday would take effect on March 4.
Reuters reported the unusual handover, Mexico's largest in years, before the U.S. and Mexican governments announced it.
U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi, in a written statement, confirmed the U.S. had taken the 29 defendants into custody.
At least two of the defendants - including Rafael Caro Quintero, who is alleged to have been among those responsible for the 1985 murder of a U.S. anti-narcotics agent - will be arraigned on Friday in Brooklyn federal court, a person familiar with the matter said.
Also handed over are newer narcos such as Antonio Oseguera Cervantes - the brother of Mexico's most-wanted drug lord, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, who leads the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Alleged, my ass. Rafael Caro Quintero directed the torture and murder of SA Kiki Camarena in 1985.

Hell of a time to be in U.S. custody, what with the Fed deTh penalty in play again. I hope it affects his sleep, but not for long.

Eli Lilly says it will spend billions to move drug manufacturing to U.S. soil
Daniel Gilbert
Eli Lilly said Wednesday it will build three manufacturing plants in the United States to make the key raw ingredients in its medicines, a push to bring home a critical part of the pharmaceutical supply chain that largely comes from foreign sources.

The Indianapolis-based drugmaker said it will more than double its planned investments in manufacturing to $50 billion, including plants it has announced since 2020, as part of what it called the largest manufacturing investment by a pharmaceutical firm in U.S. history.

The announcement came at an event with political trappings. Trump administration officials heaped praise on Lilly in a gilded auditorium in Washington bedecked with red company banners.

Lilly said it would spend $27 billion to build four new plants, three of which will make what are known as “active pharmaceutical ingredients” — compounds such as tirzepatide, the main ingredient in Lilly’s top-selling diabetes and weight-loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound. A fourth facility will make sterile, injectable drugs.
