SOUND ON: From Paul’s Final Dispatches… “With its recent flexing of military muscle, America is back on the world stage, rattling sabres with the confidence of a superpower that has never quite learned to stay its hand. Threats of intervention ricochet from Greenland to Iran, and one familiar name keeps resurfacing—Cuba, the long-standing Caribbean irritant, ninety miles off the Florida coast and still stubbornly red.  The question hanging in the heavy Havana air is no longer if pressure will come, but how much more the system can take. How close is the much-vaunted end of communism in this small, exhausted thorn lodged in the side of the American Goliath—and what, exactly, will be left standing when it finally gives way?  Havana, centuries of exquisite architecture and deep culture lie crumbling, starved of care and suffocating beneath a failed revolution, communist rule, and the long shadow of American embargoes. Paint peels. Stone flakes. Time itself feels rationed. Yet inside the central tourist district of old Havana, history’s damage is held at arm’s length, like a bad smell politely ignored.” Listen to the whole piece via the link in our bio, available without a paywall on the Noosphere app.

EXCLUSIVE: "Without question" this war is "unconstitutional", Senator @RandPaul tells @chucktodd on SundyNightWithChuckTodd.
