Legal Expert Jonathan Turley Explains Why Indictment Contents Should Terrify Maduro:

There are over 𝟭,𝟮𝟬𝟬 non-emergency medical transportation companies operating in Minnesota.
That alone should raise eyebrows.

Senior Dem Breaks Ranks to Praise Trump's Capture of 'Illegitimate' Socialist Dictator Maduro:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a South Florida Democrat with a sizable Venezuelan population in her district, bucked her party Saturday to praise President Donald Trump’s capture of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Wasserman Schultz said the U.S. military operation removing Maduro from power is “welcome news” for the millions of Venezuelans living in exile, though she argued Congress should have been informed.

- It was about accountability — real, uncomfortable, face-to-face accountability — and the standards Michigan State claims to value actually being enforced.
Paul Davis didn’t hide from it.
- And together, they showed what responsibility looks like when it’s taken seriously...
- ...At the same time, Izzo refused to do what modern outrage cycles often demand: turn a mistake into a permanent indictment of character...
