The other thing being missed: USAID had a number of successful programs to halt VZ migration in the region (in Colombia). Those got shut down and now Trump threatens both VZ and Colombia. What does that do to refugee movement?
It is telling how even high quality outlets like the America's Quarterly podcast often don't think through scenarios where Trump's violent incompetence might cause an electoral collapse of the US Right or even more chaos in Venezuela that affect his ability to shape outcomes
Whether it is analysis of Trump or Xi's supposed bids for world domination there is so much geopolitical hype that ignores the domestic weakness of great powers

Holy shit Trump was going to give him shelter in the embassy, wasn't he?
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

DOGE was a failure if the goal was saving money. It was a huge success if the goal was giving a bunch of techbro adjacent people unfettered access to govt data in ways that, thus far, are evading the Privacy Act.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

This is misleading.
Every link relied upon shows that a BUNCH of Dems were always behind the Epstein strategy. For example, one "supportive" link says, "The majority of congressional Democrats are relishing the Epstein moment."

Democrats spent a year insisting the 2026 playbook was only kitchen-table issues. Then the Epstein vote blew up the map.
Lauren Egan reports on the growing rift inside the party: Stop limiting the message. Throw everything at Trump and see what sticks.

After the Epstein vote, Dems debate shifting from just ‘kitchen table’ issues to an ‘even the kitchen sink’ approach.
