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.

Something you may have missed from Trump's phone call to Fox yesterday ..
Trump:
"This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."
Watch this. Watch again.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

Trump makes it clear on Air Force One that Venezuela was about the oil. He also floats more strikes in Venezuela, military action against Cuba and Columbia, and taking Greenland.

Completely off the rails.

The President's powers come from the Constitution and Congress. There's no third source.

If neither grant a power—and, more importantly, if either prohibit it—then the President doesn't have it. Full stop.

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.
