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.

If we're going to criminally charge every foreign dictator, when will we get around to Trump's Saudi friend, Mohammed "Bonesaw" bin Salman?

I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint.
I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

Look at that, Nancy Mace is hard at work posting empty words while she actively protects child predators.
Actions are louder than words, and the gop just told everyone that they prefer to protect pedophiles.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵
