In the Maduro capture operation, the Trump administration relies on Bill Barr’s (discredited) 1989 memo claiming a President can disregard the UN Charter (CNN report).
That is a loaded gun. The legal analysis is utterly flawed.

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript.
I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt."
And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas.

We discovered an ancient 'party boat' in the waters of Alexandria. Here's what might have happened on board
Beneath the shifting waters of Alexandria's eastern harbor, on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, lie the drowned remnants of a once-splendid city—ports, palaces and temples swallowed by the sea. Submerged ...

I just posted this Internet Archive link to Facebook, where the aunts & uncles, grandmas & grandpas who watch 60 Minutes after football games live. It’s important that this story doesn’t just circulate on Bluesky.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.
