In this episode of Space for Life, Tommy welcomes entrepreneur Jeff Johnson for a deeply moving conversation about surrender, resilience, and the ways God reaches us through life's hardest moments. Jeff shares the powerful story of hitting the breaking point in his fourth-generation steel fabrication business, kneeling alone on the shop floor, and asking God to take over.What follows is a journey of obedience, transformation, and learning to “take your hands off” while still doing the next right thing. Through biblical stories of Simon Peter, reflections on work, and moments of vulnerability, Jeff illustrates how surrender opens the door to a deeper relationship with God and an unexpected path to renewal.Timestamps0:00 Intro2:17 Scotland Trip and How They Met3:45 Jeff Begins His Story6:02 Marriage Counseling and Learning to Listen7:49 Faith and Work in Jeff's Life10:26 History of Johnson Machine Works14:07 When Nothing Works16:28 Breaking Point on the Shop Floor19:42 Praying Over the Building and Workers23:49 The Unexpected Turnaround Begins26:54 God's Mercy, Not Formulas29:33 Why Work Matters in God's Design40:38 How God Used the Crisis to Reach Jeff44:22 Jeff's Tuesday Night Practice of Surrender46:25 Invitation for Anyone Needing EncouragementReferenced LinksJeff's Podcast, Courageous CrossroadsArtists & WritersTakeawaysSurrender is often where true transformation begins.Desperation can bring unexpected clarity.Work is part of God's design for purpose and flourishing.Vulnerability opens doors that effort alone cannot.God uses circumstances — even painful ones — to reach us.Doing the next right thing is part of surrender, not separate from it.Resilience is built in the quiet, unseen moments.Prayer can reshape environments, mindsets, and outcomes.Love the show?

On this 3d long-form edition of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I had the privilege of sitting down for an unforgettable deep dive with Tim Wentworth, the candid, thoughtful, fiercely grounded and recently retired CEO of Walgreens (previously CEO of Evernorth Health Services). Tim's story reads like a masterclass in leadership and life itself - from sweeping parking lots in Rochester to leading global healthcare giants like Cigna's Evernorth and Walgreens. Across nearly two hours (and honestly, we could've gone four), Tim brought raw honesty, wisdom, and humor to every story - from his early scholarship thanks to a teacher who believed in him, to leading multi-billion dollar companies but always defining what it means to lead with heart. This is not just a leadership interview - it's a living case study in resilience, humility, and purpose.

What happens when you hit your biggest goals, only to feel a profound emptiness afterward? We share a personal story about a family member who lost a title and, with it, a sense of self, prompting us to reflect on how we define ourselves beyond our achievements.Chapter Summary:00:00 Success Can Be Disorienting03:35 Finding Purpose Beyond Titles07:54 Who Are You Without It?Featured Quotes:“Success can be just as disorienting as failure.” - Maurice“Who are you really behind the title, the awards, the accolades, the certificates or whatever it is?” - Maurice“I truly, truly believe that answer will determine your next breakthrough.” - MauriceBehind the Story:Maurice shares a recent experience with a family member who faced a significant repositioning at work, leading to the loss of a title that had become their entire identity. This moment sparked a discussion about the emptiness that can follow major achievements and the necessity of finding purpose and identity beyond external validation. We explore how simple actions, like a smile or a greeting, carry immense power in changing daily interactions and rebuilding self-worth.Resources:Well Why Not Workbook: https://bit.ly/authormauricechismPodmatch: https://bit.ly/joinpodmatchwithmaurice*FREE* 5 Bold Shifts to help you silence doubt and start moving: https://bit.ly/5boldshiftsConnect With:Maurice Chism: https://bit.ly/CoachMauriceWebsite: https://bit.ly/mauricechismTo be a guest: https://bit.ly/beaguestonthatwillnevrworkpodcastBusiness Email: mchism@chismgroup.netBusiness Address: PO Box 460, Secane, PA 19018Subscribe to That Will Nevr Work Podcast:Spreaker: https://bit.ly/TWNWSpreakerSupport the channelPurchase our apparel: https://bit.ly/ThatWillNevrWorkPodcastapparel 

1. Texas Declares Muslim Brotherhood & CARE as Terrorist Organizations Action Taken: Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CARE) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. Implications: These groups are now prohibited from acquiring real property in Texas. Governor’s Statement: Abbott cited their alleged goals of imposing Sharia law and supporting terrorism globally. Background: CARE is described as a domestic organization linked to Hamas and implicated in supporting terrorism. The Muslim Brotherhood is portrayed as an umbrella group with affiliates like Hamas. Federal Context: Senator Cruz has pushed for federal designation for over a decade. Legislative efforts have faced resistance from State Department bureaucrats. Cruz introduced bipartisan legislation with Senator John Fetterman to designate affiliates first, then the global organization. Political Dynamics: Discussion of partisan challenges and rare bipartisan cooperation. Praise for Fetterman’s independence and criticism of Democratic Party’s internal politics. 2. Gambling Crisis in Professional Sports Issue: Widespread corruption linked to prop bets (bets on specific game events rather than outcomes). Examples: NBA and MLB scandals involving players and coaches fixing aspects of games. Detailed case: Cleveland Guardians pitchers allegedly manipulated pitches for betting gains, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Risks: Increased vulnerability due to proliferation of sports betting. Individual players can easily influence prop bets (e.g., throwing a ball instead of a strike). Senate Investigation: Cruz launched an oversight inquiry via the Senate Commerce Committee. Letters sent to MLB and NBA requesting information on integrity measures. Concerns: Potential for corruption in college sports. Discussion on whether leagues can self-police or if Congress should intervene. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

En el episodio de hoy hablaremos de esas etapas en las que la vida te tiene cansado, emocionalmente apagado o simplemente sin ganas de seguir el ritmo. Abordaremos el tema del desgaste emocional, ese que llega sin avisar y que muchos callan hasta que ya no pueden más. El Dr. César Lozano comparte claves para salir del hoyo, conectar con tus amigos, mantenerte activo aunque no tengas ánimos, estudiar, aprender, ayudar a otros y hasta aplicar estrategias como el mindfulness para recuperar el equilibrio.Pero eso es solo el inicio, la conversación se prende cuando llega Helios Herrera para soltar una bomba: las crisis no son el enemigo, son el motor que te obliga a reinventarte. Explica por qué cada cierto tiempo la vida te sacude, te mueve el piso y te empuja a crecer como el ave fénix, aunque duela. Habla de resiliencia, frustración, sobreprotección y ese momento en el que todo se derrumba para que puedas reconstruirte desde tu esencia.

The House of Representatives will vote today on whether to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files. If Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani does not retain NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, could this impact crime rates in the city? Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill joins Mark to discuss whether the Democratic Party is headed for another failed attempt at attacking Trump after the Epstein files are released. O'Reilly suggests that Zohran Mamdani may need to offer President Trump something in exchange for a meeting and speculates that Zohran could propose an immigration policy that pleases the President. Investor Warren Buffett and President Trump share a love of unhealthy food - and both remain in good shape. Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Ed discusses the Republican Party's need to reevaluate after Democrats swept the November 4th election. Rollins predicts a toss-up as to how New York City will fare under a Mamdani administration.

And what he reveals is wild:Here's what you'll learn in this episode:Why data center vacancy is below 1% nationwideThe reason America will need 2x the power by 2030What makes land “powered land” — and why it's becoming the new goldThe exact criteria hyperscalers (Amazon, Meta, Google, Oracle) look forWhy data centers are now measured in megawatts per acre, not square footageHow the U.S. is locked in an AI arms race with ChinaThe brutal truth about NIMBY pushback and community approvalsWhy some utilities are charging $250,000+ just to get in line for power studiesThe four things every site absolutely must have:Simon breaks down the economics, the pipeline issues, the insane permitting timelines, and why the next decade of CRE may hinge entirely on data center development.This is the deep dive on data centers you've been looking for.

In today's polarized culture, the Church is at a dangerous crossroads. Will we be shaped by theology rooted in God's Word—or by ideologies crafted by man? In this episode of Perspectives with Joseph Mattera, I unpack the critical differences between theology and ideology—and why confusing the two can lead the Church into error, division, and idolatry.   From political tribalism to cultural echo chambers, many Christians are unknowingly filtering Scripture through the lens of ideology rather than submitting to divine truth. But God is calling His people back to a Christ-centered, Spirit-led, biblically grounded theology that transcends parties and platforms.

Our pop culture has become insipid. What is the difference between Tom Cruise and Glen Powell? Tom Cruise has darkness within him. Watching him is thrilling because you can see him struggling to contain it. Glen Powell looks at every moment like he's about to turn to the camera, wink, and try to sell you a protein powder so you can get as ripped as him. Jessa and Nico discuss the problems of Running Man (which are problems about a lack of real darkness), why Edgar Wright can never be Paul Verhoeven, and why our dark times deserve dark artists.  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

In today's episode of Late For Changeover, we bridge cutting-edge space tech, veteran advocacy, and some of the strangest chapters in military history. We start in orbit, where a revolutionary satellite just used artificial intelligence to reorient itself — a breakthrough that could push space operations toward full autonomy (07:36). Back on the ground, a new bill could force the VA to disclose its secret list of toxic-exposure illnesses, potentially reshaping care for millions of veterans (24:24). Then we turn back the clock. First: the shocking 1932 standoff in Washington, D.C., when the Bonus Army of WWI veterans marched on the capital demanding promised compensation — and were met with tanks, tear gas, and national outrage (36:17). And finally: one of WWII's strangest classified projects — Project Pigeon — a real plan to train pigeons to guide bombs with pinpoint accuracy (47:04). From orbital AI to forgotten veterans, from protest caravans to bomb-guiding birds… this episode delivers history, headlines, and outrage in classic Late For Changeover style. https://lateforchangeover.com/

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 18, 2025. 0:30 We break down a major federal court decision with sweeping implications for the Constitution and the balance of power between states and Washington. A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice’s challenge to New York’s law blocking federal immigration agents from making arrests inside state courthouses—raising an urgent question: Can a state legally obstruct the enforcement of federal law? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Mohammed Bin Salman arrived in Washington D.C. today for a state visit at the White House.The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia came to the US to finalize several trade deals with the Trump administration. A judge in Tennessee has ruled the Governor of the state does not have the legal right or power to deploy the National Guard to fight crime in the state. A three judge panel has ruled that Texas' newly redrawn congressional districts are unconstitutional because they were racially gerrymandered. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We take a look at a growing internal revolt inside the Democratic Party—one that could spell the end of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. Schumer is being pushed out by a party base that has moved far to the left of him. With Senator Cory Booker publicly framing Schumer’s generation of Democrats as the past, we break down what that political language really signals: an impending transfer of power. 16:00 We ask the American Mamas what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the sudden and dramatic shift in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s public persona—why she’s showing up on left-wing media, apologizing on CNN, clashing with fellow MAGA Republicans, and now openly feuding with President Trump himself. From her failed push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson to her sharp turn toward “unity” messaging, the mamas sort through the contradictions and speculate about the ambition, pressure, and possible political maneuvering behind it all. They also explore why so many once-rising conservative stars—from Dan Crenshaw to MTG—seem to lose their footing in Washington, and whether a shaky ideological foundation makes politicians vulnerable to shifting with the political winds. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to Northwestern University’s newest “well-being initiative”: a free vending machine stocked with everything from Narcan and fentanyl test strips to condoms and Plan B. By placing life-saving tools, basic necessities, and abortion-inducing medication side-by-side—accessible at the push of a button—the university is sending a troubling moral message: that all choices carry the same weight and all consequences can be conveniently erased. 26:30 We tackle an unexpected moment of honesty from longtime media insider Fareed Zakaria. Despite his résumé across some of the nation’s most left-leaning outlets, Zakaria used his CNN platform to spotlight a politically inconvenient truth: America’s affordability crisis is overwhelmingly concentrated in places governed by Democrats. We Dig Deep into into why policies in deep-blue states like New York and California consistently deliver higher costs and poorer outcomes, even as voters continue re-electing the same leaders. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We talk about the misnamed Affordable Care Act that has made healthcare less affordable by adding layers of bureaucracy. Costs could be lowered through greater price transparency from hospitals and clinics, and by eliminating “concierge” health insurance that covers routine, guaranteed services like checkups. Instead, insurance should function like car or home insurance—covering unexpected, high-cost events, not routine maintenance. 35:30 Plus, Nicki Minaj publicly supported President Trump’s comments about global Christian persecution, and that's a Bright Spot. Though known for explicit music and public feuds, Minaj identifies as a Christian, and Christianity is about grace, not perfection. After Minaj reposted Trump’s message, UN Ambassador Mike Walz invited her to speak at the United Nations, where she thanked Trump for drawing attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. 40:00 After years of positioning herself as one of Trump's strongest allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Trump a "traitor." She's leaning into fringe conspiracy theories like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson with their theories about Charlie Kirk. At some point, we just have to say, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with a day in 1883 that changed the way we keep time.

This week we talk about Venezuela, casus belli, and drug smuggling.We also discuss oil reserves, Maduro, and Machado.Recommended Book: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt DinnimanTranscriptVenezuela, which suffered all sorts of political and economic crises under former president Hugo Chávez, has suffered even more of the same, and on a more dramatic scale, under Chávez's successor, Nicolás Maduro.Both Chávez and Maduro have ruled over autocratic regimes, turning ostensibly democratic Venezuelan governments into governments ruled by a single person, and those they like and empower and reward, over time removing anyone from power who might challenge them, and collapsing all checks and balances within the structure of their government.They still hold elections, then, but like in Russia, the voting is just for show, the outcome predetermined, and anyone who gets too popular and who isn't favored by the existing regime is jailed or killed or otherwise neutralized; the votes are then adjusted when necessary to make it look like the regime is still popular, and anyone who challenges that seeming popularity is likewise taken care of.As a result of that state of affairs, an unpopular regime with absolute power running things into the ground over the course of two autocrats' administrations, Venezuela has suffered immense hyperinflation, high levels of crime and widespread disease, ever-increasing mortality rates, and even starvation, as fundamentals like food periodically become scarce. This has led to a swell of emigration out of the country, which has, during the past decade, become the largest ever recorded refugee crisis in the Americas, those who leave mostly flooding into neighboring countries like Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.As of 2025, it's estimated that nearly 8 million people, more than 20% of Venezuela's entire population as of 2017, has fled the country to get away from the government, its policies, its collapsed economy, and the cultural homogeny that has led to so much crime, conflict, and oppression of those not favored by the people in charge.This has also led to some Venezuelans trying to get into the US, which was part of the justification for a proposed invasion of the country, by the US government, under the first Trump administration in 2017.The idea was that this is a corrupt, weak government that also happens to possess the largest proven oil reserves in the world. Its production of oil has collapsed along with everything else, in part because the government is so ineffectual, and in part because of outside forces, like longstanding sanctions by the US, which makes selling and profiting from said oil on the global market difficult.Apparently, though, Trump also just liked the idea of invading Venezuela through US ally Colombia, saying—according to Trump's National Security advisor at the time, John Bolton—that Venezuela is really part of the US, so it would be “cool” for the US to take it. Trump also later said, in 2023, that when he left office Venezuela was about to collapse, and that he would have taken it over if he had been reelected instead of losing to Joe Biden, and the US would have then kept all the country's oil.So there's long been a seeming desire by Trump to invade Venezuela, partly on vibe grounds, the state being weak and why shouldn't we own it, that kind of thing? But underlying that is the notion of the US being a country that can stomp into weaker countries, take their oil, and then nation-build, similar to what the government seemed to be trying to do when it invaded Iraq in the early 2000s, using 9/11 as a casus belli, an excuse to go to war, with an uninvolved nation that happened to own a bunch of oil resources the US government wanted for itself.What I'd like to talk about today is the seeming resurgence of that narrative, but this time with an, actual tangible reason to believe an invasion of Venezuela might occur sometime soon.—As I mentioned, though previously kind of a success story in South America, bringing people in from all over the continent and the world, Venezuela has substantially weakened under its two recent autocratic leaders, who have rebuilt everything in their image, and made corruption and self-serving the main driver behind their decisions for the direction of the country.A very popular candidate, María Corina Machado, was barred from participating in the country's 2024 election, the country's Supreme Court ruling that a 15-year ban on her holding public office because of her involvement with an alleged plot against Maduro with a previous candidate for office, Juan Guaido; Guiado is now in exile, run out of the country for winning an election against Maduro, which Maduro's government has claimed wasn't legit, but which dozens of governments recognize as having been legitimate, despite Maduro's clinging to power after losing.So Machado is accused of being corrupt by Maduro's corrupt government, and thus isn't allowed to run for office. Another candidate that she wanted to have run in her place was also declared ineligible by Maduro's people, so another sub was found, Edmundo González, and basically every outside election watchdog group says that he won in 2024, and handedly, over Maduro. But the government's official results say that's not the case, that Maduro won, and that has created even more conflict and chaos in the country as it's become clearer and clearer that there's no way to oust the autocrat in control of the government—not through the voting box, at least.This is part of what makes Venezuela an even more appealing target, for the Trump administration, right now, because not only is Maduro incredibly unpopular and running the country into the ground, there's also a very popular alternative, in the shape of María Corina Machado, who could conceivably take control of things should Maduro be toppled. So there's a nonzero chance that if someone, like the US military, were to step in and either kill Maduro or run him out of town, they could make a very sweet deal with the incoming Machado government, including a deal that grants access to all that currently underutilized oil wealth.This is theoretical right now, but recent moves by the US government and military suggest it might not remain theoretical for much longer.In mid-November, 2025, the US Navy moved the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Caribbean—the USS Gerald R Ford being an aircraft carrier, and the strike group being the array of ships and aircraft that accompany it—it was moved there from the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was moved following the attack on Israel that led to Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip.This, by itself, doesn't necessarily mean anything; the shifting of aircraft carrier groups is often more symbolic than practical. But the US government has suggested it might us these vessels and aircraft to strike drug manufacturers across South and Central America, and specifically in Venezuela.This is being seen as an escalation of an already fraught moment in the region, because the US has launched a series of strikes against small boats in the area, beginning back in September of 2025.These boats, according to the US government, are drug smuggling vessels, bringing fentanyl, among other drugs, to US shores. So the idea is that the people aboard these boats are criminals who are killing folks in the US by bringing this drug, which is highly addictive and super potent, and thus more likely to kill its users than other opioids, into the country for illegal sale and distribution. So, the claim goes, this is a justified use of force.These strikes have thus far, over the past two months, killed at least 79 people, all alleged by the US government to be drug smugglers, despite some evidence to the contrary, in some cases. The US's allies have not been happy about these strikes, including allies the government usually relies on to help with drug-related detection and interdiction efforts, including regional governments that take action to keep drugs from shuffling around the region and eventually ending up in the US.Many US allies have also called the strikes illegal. The French foreign minister recently said they violate international law, and the EU's foreign policy chief said something similar, indicating that such use of force is only valid in cases of self-defense, and when there's a UN Security council resolution on the matter.Canadian and Dutch governments have been doing what they can to distance themselves from the strikes, without outright criticizing the at times vindictive US government, and some regional allies, like Colombia, have been signaling that they'll be less cooperative with the US when it comes to drug-related issues, saying that they would no longer share intelligence with the US until they stop the strikes, which they've called “extrajudicial executions.”An extrajudicial killing is one that is not lawful; it doesn't have the backing of a judicial proceeding, and thus lacks the authority typically granted by the proper facets of a government. Lacking such authority, killing is illegal. Given said authority, though, a killing can be made legal, at least according to the laws of the government doing the killing.The argument here is that while governments can usually get away with killing people, only authoritarian regimes typically and regularly to use that power to kill folks without going through the proper channels and thus getting the legal authority to do so.In this case, the facts seem to support the accusations of those who are saying these killings aren't legally legitimate: the Trump administration has launched these attacks on these vessels without going through the usual channels, and without declaring Congressionally approved war on anyone in particular. They've instead claimed that drug cartels are terrorists, and have said that anyone they suspect of smuggling drugs, or who they suspect in any way might be involved with the illegal drug making and smuggling industry, can be considered enemy, non-state combatants that they're allowed to kill at will.And as part of that declaration that the US government has the right to kill anyone they like who's involved in drug smuggling, in late-October 2025 it was reported that the US has identified targets on land, as well, some of these targets located within ports and airstrips across Venezuela, including those used by the Venezuelan government, which the Maduro regime allegedly also uses for drug smuggling purposes.This loops us back around to that original possibility that the Trump administration, looking for a casus belli, an excuse to go to war with Venezuela, may be using these strikes and the drug smuggling industry to get social and maybe legal backing for strikes that reach closer and closer to Maduro and the Venezuelan military.If the US were to strike some vital Venezuelan military ports, using drug smuggling as justification, but taking out Venezuelan military infrastructure and/or people in the process, would that be an act of war? Would that trigger a response from Maduro? Could that response then allow the US military to claim self-defense?These questions are up in the air right now, and that confusion could provide the opportunity to move fast and not have to suffer legal consequences until all is said and done, but it could also help shape the outcome of those decisions: ask for forgiveness, not permission, basically, but maybe not even forgiveness, if other aspects of the government come to support the Trump administration's decisions and rule in their favor, after the fact.Some analysts have said they suspect this drumbeat toward war with Venezuela is meant to solve several problems for the Trump administration. It could help them deal with plummeting approval numbers leading into a midterm election in 2026, and it could also give Trump himself cover from the escalating issue of the Epstein files, which, among other things, seem to connect Trump with someone who's become the world's most famous human trafficker and pedophile even more tightly than before.This sort of process may also serve to slowly bolster the perception that the presidency has more powers than it has traditionally wielded, like the ability to unilaterally declare war, even though such powers are supposed to rest with Congress; an extension of other efforts by this administration to reinforce the presidency at the expense of the checks and balances that are meant to keep the US government from becoming an autocracy, like the one in Venezuela.Show Noteshttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/01/27/venezuela-s-supreme-court-disqualifies-opposition-leader-from-running-for-president_6469941_4.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/06/venezuela-election-maduro-analysishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Venezuelan_presidential_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Strike_Group_12https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/politics/venezuela-trump-military-what-we-knowhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/americas/venezuela-us-aircraft-carrier-reaction-latam-intlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/us/politics/trump-pressure-venezuela.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/2025/11/15/nx-s1-5609888/aircraft-carrier-caribbean-venezuela-military-actionhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/16/us-rogue-state-extrajudicial-killings-venezuelahttps://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/15/trump-maduro-venezuela-column-00652369https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/justice-department-drug-boat-strike-memo-83711582https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/world/americas/trump-drug-boat-strikes-colombian-fisherman.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7810w37vwdohttps://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2025/11/13/colombia-to-suspend-intelligence-sharing-with-us-over-boat-strikes/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_United_States_military_strikes_on_alleged_drug_traffickershttps://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2025/11/trump-boat-strikes-killings-venezuela/684921/https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/trump-boat-strikes-drug-9bbbeb90?mod=hp_lead_pos11https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrajudicial_killinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_in_Venezuelahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_refugee_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_United_States_invasion_of_Venezuela This is a public episode.

In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has announced or proposed several measures to address the cost of living. These moves come against the backdrop of an uncertain economic outlook, as voters have expressed concern about rising prices and financial markets have experienced significant selloffs. While President Trump has maintained that the economy remains strong, some Republicans have called on him to refocus his agenda on affordability issues ahead of the 2026 midterms.
