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.

He legit just pardoned the president of Honduras for drug trafficking but now Maduro is going to stand trial for “narco terrorism.” This all makes a lot of sense and definitely isn’t about oil.

Trump, RFK Jr., and anti-vax fiends have accomplished an amazing feat. Measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000. In 2025, there were 2,065 new cases. ~93% were unvaccinated or unknown, while 7% had received at least one dose of the vaccine. #GetVaccinated #measles

To be honest, I was genuinely surprised at how rapidly & how successfully RFK Jr and his close MAGA & MAHA allies (Drs Oz/Makary/Høeg/Bhattacharya/Prasad/Kulldorff) were able to dismantle vaccination systems & drive surges in infectious disease Their very wildest dreams came true in just a year 😢

*ACA health care premiums just spiked an average of 114% *Drugmakers are raising the price on 350 prescription drugs, when patients in the US pay (by far) higher prices than anywhere else in the developed world *Inflation is increasing But, sure. Tell me again how "hot" our economy is

Trump takes 325 mg of aspirin a day, four times the common low dose of 81 mg, because "they say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart." www.wsj.com/us-news/as-s...

Final broadcast of ABC News Tonight for 2025. I hope every rep and senator saw it. Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up. Call your Rep and Senators.

First they decided to strip nursing of its “professional” designation. Now they’re removing a requirement that ensured nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding had an RN available 24/7. This regime doesn’t care about the elderly & disabled. This policy change will kill people.

Just a non-gentle reminder of this guy's past. People knew who he was and what he stood for. His resume was blatantly clear. Now, he is doing the same on a massive scale and with help.

Exactly

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul. If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think. And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast. #NAACP #BlackSky

rfk jr's attitude toward anyone or thing that gets sick is "if he dies, he dies."

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Chuck Schumer right now:

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

Yes. The answer is yes.

One of the things Trumpism does is open the door for unintended consequences

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

It was a hard speech to watch. But what came after was the worst part. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

US Supreme Court denied Trump's emergency bid to cancel nearly $2 billion in USAID spending. The vote was 5-4. Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts voted against him.
