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.

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.
The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

Supporting the steps to sustainable, healthier homes and schools
Net Zero targets and the cost of living are driving people to cut energy costs for homes, schools, and workplaces, but how do we avoid harms to health and wellbeing in the process?
