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.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Most folks are lucky to have 1 vacation in 2 years let alone 8 in their first 7 months.

J.D. Vance has had 8 vacations in his first 7 months “on the job”. But he applauds “hard working Americans” and urges them maximize their efforts!

“No one is talking about taking your guns away,” Walz said. “Just leave it in your car if you’re going to come in this building. We do that in other businesses. I don’t understand it — why you would need that.”

Gov. Tim Walz on guns at the Capitol, lawmaker security and Minnesota’s response to Trump’s big bill

Walz told the Minnesota Star Tribune that legislators are “rightfully concerned” with security issues.

Josh is Josh. Cowardly and easily corrupted. I guess I wanted to believe so badly that there weren't so many horrible people. I kept wanting to believe that he had grown as a person, but unless he completely averts course, he's unredeemable.

He should have been voted out already. Now, we wait.

Blame abounds for Texas local and state officials, as well as the Trump Administration.

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.
1
Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

On July 4, 2025, America’s birthday, a corrupt government enabled their puppet to sign a bill into law that will inflict maximum pain upon its people.

It’s time to process our grief and channel our rage into this fight for our lives.

And never forget to celebrate those who did the same for us.
