WELKER: Is the Cuban government the Trump administration's next target?

MARCO RUBIO: Well, the Cuban government is a huge problem. Yeah.

WELKER: Is that a yes?

RUBIO: I think they're in a lot of trouble, yes

They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

If you take this reporting from October at face value, Rodriquez and a number of other officials more or less gave up maduro in order to get sanctions relief/investment/etc
"Senior Venezuelan government officials, led by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez...have quietly promoted a series of initiatives in recent months aimed at presenting themselves to Washington as a “more acceptable” alternative to Nicolás Maduro’s regime...funneled through intermediaries in Qatar."
Exclusive: Venezuelan leaders offered U.S. a path to stay in power without Maduro
Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez used Doha backchannels to offer Washington a 'Cartel Light' plan for a managed Venezuela transition that keeps chavismo in power.

They’re so mad at Joe Biden for not giving them the access they needed to further their careers, that they’re still writing about it. A year after Biden was forced out!
Reporter Says Biden Aide ‘Screamed’ at Him Just for Calling Ex-President
A reporter’s call with former President Joe Biden earlier this year angered his top aides so much that they aggressively confronted the reporter and then changed Biden’s cell number. The incident—anot...

Exclusive: in a 4:30am telephone conversation, President Trump told me to tune into a press conference later that day.

From the perspective of reporting the news, it doesn’t strike me that there is a functional difference between a president who answers the phone at 4:30am in the morning but doesn’t answer a reporter’s questions, versus a president who doesn’t agreed to be interviewed.

The essence of this article is that a NY Times reporter called Trump’s cellphone at 4:30am and that Trump answered the call but said nothing of importance, other than wait for the press conference.

This is the perfect illustration of the emptiness of political reporting that stresses “access”

Trump picked up the phone, but didn’t say anything. What a scoop! You got proof of life! Yay!

Mark Kelly is spot-fucking-on. Like Trump, Nicolás Maduro is a despotic scumbag. By kidnapping Maduro, Trump just made the world infinitely more dangerous. The stupidity of Trump's attack, kidnapping, occupation...

Oh look, a leader with a backbone…

Spanish PM Sánchez has stated that Spain will neither recognize the govt of Nicolás Maduro nor support any U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, warning that such action would violate international law and endanger regional stability.

How do MAGA and the NRA feel about Maduro being charged for possession of machine guns by this GOP administration?

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?

So President Trump seems to think the Govt of Venezuela has already been toppled and in fact the government's foreign minister is touching base with Iran about getting support.

Remember when Republicans got suspiciously upset about Democrats reminding the troops of their responsibility to not follow illegal orders? Hmmm.

REP. GOLDMAN: “Trump promised oil executives if they gave him $1 billion for his campaign, he’d do right by them. They gave about $500 million. This is a massive gift in violation of international law, essentially just co-opting an entire country's natural resources for the benefit of 🇺🇸 Companies.”
