It’s hard to conceive of a scarier headline than this:
www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...
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.
Fortunately for them, you are very good at your job.

Photo of a cluster of pink ghost pipe flowers in a forest. The flowers are approx 7” high (approx 18cm).
Pink Ghost Pipe plant at my hometown, Logy Bay, #Newfoundland Canada. Ghost Pipes are most commonly white, but some have pink or even red colouration. Pic from a couple of years ago, in August.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was.
You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...
I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

I appreciate that Mitt criticizest the carried interest exception, an absurd rule that has enriched him immensely. Basis resets upon death are also indefensible.
The Dems could make these changes, but many of them are beholden to the 0.001%. The GOP is hopeless as an ally for this reform.
You are convincing! I start at UVic Jan. 1.
