I've never heard a Democratic country justify kidnapping the leader of another country but it's transparently thin. They claim it's for narco-terrorism. But Putin & Netanyahu have been accused of international war crimes far worse - Yet Trump brags of his relationship to both criminals. 🧵

Happy Birthday to the Bill of Rights. On this day in 1789, the First Congress of the United States approved 12 amendments to our Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. The first 10 of those amendments became known as the Bill of Rights. Time to celebrate with cake and resistance.
