As hard as it is, we need to offer soft landings and gentle off ramps (which is what we'd want too)

- Reposted by Jon PierreMarco 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.

- I did an interview with a senior WHO official yesterday. Trump's decision to leave the WHO and stop all funding has had a devastating impact. My interviewee said "my program is gone, my team is gone, I am gone". The loss of human lives cannot be estimated. All because of one man his followers.
