Will the DOJ try Maduro for crimes? What crimes did he commit in the USA? Will they give him due process? The regime just freed the ex-president of Honduras who had been convicted of drug dealing.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Yes, Trump's illegal attack on #Caracas is about oil. But it's also very much about #fascism.
Fascists have *always* needed war to advance their domestic agenda as well as for plunder.
Expect Trump to declare a "national emergency" & start arresting political opponents soon.

Trump confirms the US has captured Maduro and his wife.
This was done without congressional approval.
It’s an act of war.
You do not need to like or approve of the Venezuelan regime to disapprove of Trump’s actions.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

While your plan may allow you to take advantage of this new rule, it’s important to weigh whether taking money from your retirement savings would make sense, experts say. #Retirement #LongTermCare #401k
Rule expands penalty-free early 401(k) withdrawals — but new use ‘might not be practical,’ advisor says
A provision from the 2022 Secure Act 2.0 is now in effect that allows limited penalty-free withdrawals from 401(k)s to pay long-term care insurance premiums.
