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.

Stop federal funding:
The Supreme Court strikes this down, and states act in unison to refuse compliance. Let them enforce it... The Court has no army. The federal government would have to send agents into state treasury departments to seize money. It would have to prosecute state comptrollers.

A Ukrainian ground drone held a frontline position for 45 days, repelling Russian assaults with a mounted machine gun and thermal sensors - zero casualties.
Meanwhile at Pokrovsk, Russia is sending soldiers on horseback. Vehicle losses have gotten that bad.

“But not all Republicans…” 94% of Republicans voted for Trump in 2024. STFU about making generalizations. To say all Republican voters are racist, fascist & cruel is not a broad stroke. It’s a reflection of action to promote hate, fear and suffering. If odds were 94% I’d get all the chips every time
