The oil is barely worth extracting in the first place at current market prices. This administration is not just evil and stupid, they’re not even good at being greedy

MDC will now be home to a leader who our country says is so dangerous they needed to be violently deposed.
The very same building also holds people that fled his regime who are being detained by ICE because we are not granting them asylum.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife have arrived at Stewart International Airport, outside New York City, following U.S. strikes in Venezuela. They are expected to be transported by helicopter to Manhattan, then driven to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Katy Tur reports.

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Donald Trump’s lying again.
He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.
