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.

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.
This is madness.

“Trump doesn't have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me.
The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy.
Trump knows better … he's making money … while the world goes to hell…
It's unbelievable. I don't know of a greater criminal in history"

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies.
This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.
We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

Just what the UK needs, Elon Musk telling them what to do and promoting violence.
Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Trump demanded that Putin agree to an immediate ceasefire or face heavy US sanctions. Trump now says he’s wants to bypass a ceasefire & look at a permanent peace deal. That Ukraine land needs to be ceded & he’s not going to impose sanctions on Russia. Trump the ultimate deal maker at his very best

MP Rupert Lowe has been left red-faced after mistakenly claiming to spot “illegal migrants aboard a dinghy”.
Nope - it was rowers for a charity he himself donates to - and the crew included a former Royal Marine. Ouch.

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, ‘levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power?
No.
You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out “the lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.

It’s disloyal to your voters and to the country. You’ve got power and time. Use them.
