Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?
Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

I want to point out that OpenAI donated $25 million to Trump for the midterms. If judges won't give the corporate death penalty we will do it ourselves by a massive boycott campaign. I urge everyone to cancel their Copilot, ChatGPT and Office 365 subscriptions or switch to the non-AI "classic" plan.

Urging the US to topple Maduro is like urging Iran to overthrow Netanyahu. It’s not that the target isn’t a schmuck, but why would anyone believe the regime changer is even interested in, much less capable of, replacing him with someone better?

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

It's worth reading the whole interview in full. It basically verifies that the NYT has spent the past decade-plus doubling down on top-down narratives for coverage, getting more intense over time.
