In other words, JOH is a man the Trump administration can do business me, while Maduro is not
Let's not forget that Trump just pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández - ex-Honduras president who backed a coup, committed election fraud, violently repressed activists, lawyers, Indigenous people, youth etc - and was entenced to 35 years by an American jury for trafficking drugs and weapons into the US

The US interest in Venezuela isn’t just about the oil there, but also about the oil next door in Guyana, and the American oil companies that have staked their future on it.

Every time you think you have an understanding of the depth of Trump's pathos, you find out you're wrong--and it goes deeper.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

So many atrocious media takes today, but NYT headline 'the Venezuela oil industry Trump is planning to revive' is a doozy.

We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions.

We have not forgotten, and we won’t let up - regardless of the President’s new unconstitutional actions.

Clear line between Israel's genocide and illegal expansionism in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon AND today's illegal US invasion of Venezuela

Two truths and a lie:
US-sponsored regime change never ends well
US-sponsored regime change is paid for by American taxpayers but brings them no benefits
US-sponsored regime change promotes democracy

Truly Trumpian grift. Insider trading on an illegal invasion.
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

The 500+ year colonial project has always been about land, natural resources - and racism. This was true in 1526, and is true in 2026
