"Many of the Republicans who spoke out, including Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), are retiring or have frequently broken with Trump."

U.S. officials have discarded the idea of legal constraints altogether. The only constraint, Trump said in an interview, is his “own morality.” There is no real argument to defend the government’s behavior. No pretense. No attempt to persuade. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...
This video is part 1 of a nine minute video that I think every activist should watch and ponder.
Nonviolent resistance is the most effective tool against tyranny.
U.S. oil companies are going to take over Venezuela’s oil fields and industry, President Trump said, declaring that U.S. oil interests will revive oil production in a country with one of the world’s largest reserves.
This is not sending a powerful message to China, which is what I’m seeing some hot takers think. The pattern here is Trump making hits on countries where US military superiority is clear (Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria). The PLA is America’s most formidable military challenger.
What is the mechanism to prevent Putin from taking out Zelenskyy or Xi Jinping from taking out Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te in the same way Trump has just done with Maduro? Moscow and Beijing saw Venezuela as an ally, but they’re also noting the silver lining for them here.
Doubling down. It is not a controversial take to give respect to AP and Reuters journalists in Venezuela, most of who are local or from Lat Am, currently risking their lives, and who are paid for their work — so everyone else can benefit from their reporting.
It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Of course, whether Europe is interested in being allied with an America that is so volatile and unpredictable -- that is another question.
