Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Expect there to be efforts to pull or restrict funding to Minnesota public colleges. Diane Jones served in the first Trump administration and has the ear of ED officials.

Relatedly, does anyone know if there's a book that tries to grapple with the collective series of clearly related revolutions and uprisings that took place in the late 18th century and early 19th (and the 17th, if you count the English Revolution)?
I was today years old when I learned about the Irish Rebellion of 1798, an outgrowth of the American and French Revolutions led by Irish Presbyterians who wanted a union with Irish Catholics for a new democratic republic.
It failed, but the French sent troops in support! There were battles!
