Great thread on this Venezuela situation. Highly recommend.
I do wonder if this is it. WTF is Donald Trump doing w Venezuela? Like we've had US presidents do crazy things. I mean we invaded Iraq and toppled its government more or less for no reason. But as someone who covered that story very closely they DID have reasons. They were bad ...

I appreciate the timing of this after a particularly rough day in academia... especially since similar advice from Phil when I was a wee bebe grad student was so instrumental to the trajectory my career eventually took!
Life can be extremely difficult to navigate. I'm lucky enough to have found my way. Maybe I can help you figure out how to find yours.

Nazi Musk’s corrupt pet project DOGE has officially disbanded after 8 months of destroying the US govt and illegally gaining access to the private data of tens of millions of Americans just for the purpose of instilling fear. Everyone involved should go to jail.

I just feel we need to keep saying, over and over, that the problem with DOGE was not its failure to cut spending. the problem with DOGE is that it CUT GLOBAL AID LEADING TO THE DEATHS OF 600K PEOPLE AND COUNTING. 1
DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

Jared is back. Jared Kushner, who has no official title beyond “son-in-law” - not to mention his lack of qualifications and sense and judgment.
The American delegation is: Secretary Rubio, Special envoy Witkoff, Jared Kushner, SecArmy Driscoll, State Dept counselor Michael Needham, US Amb Julie Davis, Deputy NSA Andy Baker, and EUCOM commander Gen. Grynkewich.

Every time I listen to Trump, Bessent or Lutnick talk about economic conditions, it is always completely obvious how utterly disconnected they are from the everyday struggles the average American working family is dealing with right now. They simply can’t relate to normal people.

There really is no doubt, is there? The White House leaked the draft to Axios and made a bunch of comments. It's halfwit Witkoffs baby.He thinks he made a "deal" because he got some business stuff in there for the U.S.
Trump was busy redecorating the White House pantry and didn't know about it.

I'm skeptical that Trump's make Ukraine surrender plan wasn't real.
Trump envoy Witkoff negotiated it, details and threats to Ukraine were public for multiple days, and Rubio didn't dispute it then, only after the plan got a bad reception and rejected by Europe.
Look like attempting to save face.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

He promised “American carnage,” didn’t he?
Trump is sacrificing our ecosphere for industrial greed, gutting the very laws that kept poison out of our water and extinction off our doorstep. He’s choosing profit over survival.

Been driving for a couple hours. Just got online. Lemme see if I understand. US has been pushing a Ukraine plan for a few days. After some pushback, US Secy of State reveals that in fact it's a Russian plan that was presented to the US. Helluva a misunderstanding.
