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.

yeah, just say its iraq 2.0 but w/o even the pretext of lying to congress (illegal). its not that hard
See this is very good, this should be the unified line @beyer.house.gov

yeah, this seems correct
It genuinely seems the plan, such as it was, was only the Maduro raid, accepting the regime wouldn't otherwise change. That's what Rubio was telling a very gullible Mike Lee, at least. And then Trump had his presser and went completely off the rails pronouncing himself the new Emperor of Venezuela.
VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.

Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.

Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

One of the more sickening qualities of the Trump era is how deeply the rah rah America conservatives despise almost all of the core American principles.

he’s gonna think this went well and pivot back to maximalist saber rattling
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

Everyone can relax, the EU is "closely monitoring the situation."
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.
