2026 has started off with strikes on Venezuela, the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro, and a brazen slew of threats from President Trump against Greenland, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Iran. This week, Alex speaks to Venezuelans about what their hopes and fears are for the future of their country. Then she's joined by Pod Save America's Jon Favreau and Pod Save the World's Ben Rhodes to break down the absolute insanity of Trump's imperial ambitions. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss what the so-called “Donroe Doctrine” means for international order after the US military extracted Maduro from Venezuela amid rumblings over Greenland and Cuba, the background and evolving situation in Minnesota after an ICE agent killed a woman during a raid, and how changes to the federal recommended childhood vaccine schedule dangerously denormalize routine vaccines with guest Dr. Josh Sharfstein, Professor of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University.  For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss reports that X chatbot Grok is making nonconsensual sexualized photos of women and children at user prompts, Elon Musk's reaction, and how to stop it.   In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales about his new book The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last. They discuss how Wikipedia's culture of assuming good faith and shared purpose became a model for building trustworthy digital communities — and what lessons that holds for companies, social media, and politics today.   Email your chatters, questions, and comments to gabfest@slate.com.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump's Venezuela operation as the president announces an oil deal following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, raising questions about coercion, profiteering, and global backlash from China and regional allies. They analyze Trump's claims about seizing billions in Venezuelan oil, the response from interim leader Delcy Rodríguez, and mounting fears of authoritarian crackdowns as armed militias flood Caracas under a sweeping emergency decree. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump's revived push to acquire Greenland, unpacking Marco Rubio's closed-door comments, NATO alarm, and the administration's refusal to rule out military force. Plus, they discuss new scrutiny over Epstein-related DOJ delays, fresh data showing young men souring on Trump, escalating GOP infighting, and renewed attempts to rewrite the history of January 6.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Natalie Orpett, and Molly Roberts for a special deep-dive into the intervention in Venezuela, including:“A Hop, Skip, and Jump Across the Rubicon.” This past weekend, the Trump administration took the step that Trump has been threatening for months: he deployed special operations to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and bring him to the United States for criminal prosecution. The targeted operation was only hours long and resulted in no American fatalities, though more than 70 people in Venezuela were reportedly killed. The Trump administration has described it as a “law enforcement” operation. But what was it really? And where did he get the authority to do it?“A Truly Extraordinary Rendition.” By Monday, Maduro and his wife were in New York being arraigned on an array of drug- and weapons-related conspiracy charges. But prosecuting a head of state—albeit one not recognized by the United States—presents certain unique challenges. How should we expect the criminal case to proceed? “Running in Place.” President Trump has asserted that he and his advisers are now going to “run” Venezuela. But he's left Maduro's deputy, Delcy Rodríguez, in place, in lieu of the opposition movement the United States and many other countries have recognized as Venezuela's legitimate government. Trump and his advisers seem intent on dictating terms to Venezuela through the “leverage” provided them by the ongoing quarantine over Venezuela's oil, and potentially the threat of additional military action. But can this light-touch strategy succeed? In object lessons, (notably Chicagoan) Natalie delights in her long-standing admiration of The New Yorker with Netflix's documentary “The New Yorker at 100.” Molly approaches Trump's takeover of D.C. golf courses with a pitch for Knotty by Nature's wooden putters. Scott honors the 5th anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol with a recommendation of Ellie Silverman's moving profile of Nathan Tate in the Washington Post. And Ben honors the same anniversary with both a revisiting of Lawfare's narrative podcast series The Aftermath, and, relatedly, a surprise interview by Holly Berkley Fletcher with one of the attack's most infamous perpetrators.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 48: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: This is Trump’s terrorism; this is the Kent State of our time. A peaceful, unarmed protestor, murdered by Trump’s ICE, while Trump’s Lie Factory and Trump personally smeared her, blamed her, made up a story of threat where there was no threat, altered images, lied about her, lied about what the Gestapo they sent to kill Americans in American cities did to her. Two weeks from Saturday, it will be ten years since he said it. January 24, 2016: I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” And once again his stochastic terrorist murderous wish has come true. Only it was on East 34th Street in Minneapolis. One of his Border-Patrol-ICE militia shot and killed Renee Macklin Good. ICE killed her, and then they slandered her. Trump has his wish. The Trump Administration has begun its shooting war, its reign of terror, against the peaceful and unarmed citizens of the United States. It can be disputed whether Renee Macklin Good was the first. It cannot be disputed that unless Trump is legally restrained, she will not be the last. And later, the ICE/Border Control militia attacked a Minneapolis high school. And Trump chose the day of his crime-by-proxy, after the murder, to insist that he has quote “determined” that the military budget for 2027 needs to be increased from the obscene level of one trillion dollars… by FIFTY PERCENT to a trillion and a half. That is the military he wants to use against American civilians on American streets. That is the military he JUST used against American civilians on American streets in Minneapolis. ALSO: I DON'T MAKE THE RULES. Trump's renditioning of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela means, simply, that any country that would like to send a squad to this country to abduct one of our leaders needs only to have first indicted Trump in their own country - and cut a deal with JD Vance to take over as presidency and swear fealty to their country. B-Block (29:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Earlier this week seemed to have been dedicated to Trump's most concentrated revelation of his insanity. Tuesday, at a Republican retreat, he hit all the notes, and pretty much cemented the idea that he indeed suffers from anosognosia (an inability to perceive an illness, especially a dementia-related one). C-Block (37:00) DEATH BY MEDIA: This is just day six of the Tony Dokoupil debacle but if you don't think CBS could bail out of this fast, I was a witness when they took their third most profitable news property - the local CBS News in Los Angeles - and invented a new format called "The News Wheel." It went over so poorly it was cancelled after a month and a day. And since Bari Weiss skipped right past trying to emulate Fox News and went directly to Alex Jones News, they may have to bail out. But there's a whole back story you may not know about. WHY Weiss personally selected Dokoupil to helm this disaster, and why Katy Tur married him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm joined by Gelet Martínez Fragela, a Cuban activist and journalist and a close watcher of Venezuela who's tracked how authoritarianism hollowed out a once prosperous country. We talk about the warning signs, the lies that sustained the regime, and why President Maduro's trial in the United States matters far beyond Venezuelan borders. Gelet also answers the question: Why were Cubans responsible for guarding President Maduro? And how will the country function in the wake of the U.S.'s shock intervention?

Cilia Flores’ Role: Far from being a symbolic first lady, Flores is a mastermind behind corruption and drug trafficking. She was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and linked to major criminal activities, including her nephews’ cocaine smuggling. Western Hemisphere Strategy: The discussion emphasizes the Monroe Doctrine and its modern interpretation under Trump (“Donroe Doctrine”), asserting U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere to counter Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence. Military Operation: The arrest of Maduro was a highly precise Delta Force mission, compared to past U.S. interventions like Noriega’s capture in Panama. The podcast praises Trump’s decisiveness and military success without U.S. casualties. Regional Impact: Cuba: Faces severe pressure due to loss of Venezuelan oil and the death of Cuban guards during the raid. Other Leftist Regimes: Leaders in Nicaragua, Colombia, and Brazil are considered weakened. Mexico: While not a failed state, concerns about narco-terrorism and water treaty disputes are highlighted. Future of Venezuela: Interim President Delcy Rodríguez is described as another Marxist figure, raising concerns about continuity of corruption. Advocates for free and fair elections to restore stability and attract foreign investment, especially in oil and gold sectors. Venezuela’s vast natural resources make it a prime candidate for rapid economic recovery if governance shifts toward pro-market policies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Tommy and Ben discuss: the fallout from the Trump administration's strikes on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, why President Trump chose Maduro's VP Delcy Rodríguez to run the country instead of opposition leader María Corina Machado, how the DOJ's new indictment of Maduro shows that the administration has been lying about him being the head of a drug cartel, and the comparisons between the Venezuela operation and the 1989 invasion of Panama to arrest Manuel Noriega. Then they dig into the (unfortunately named) “Donroe Doctrine” and what Trump's embrace of regime change means for the world, including how seriously we should take his threats against Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. Finally, they explain why Iranians have been protesting in huge numbers for over a week, how serious of a threat the protests pose to the regime, and debate whether we should take seriously Trump's threat to respond militarily if the regime kills protesters. Then Ben speaks to Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) about President Trump's lack of transparency to Congress about the attack on Venezuela, how much it's costing American taxpayers, and how Democrats are trying to stop him from future invasions.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Michael Reagan, the eldest adopted son of President Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, passed away at age 80 in Los Angeles. He was a man of deep faith who overcame early issues to become an engaging and supportive figure, strongly defending his father, Ronald Reagan, and backing President Trump. He wasn't just the son of a president; he was a strong voice for conservative principles and a defender of the values that made this country great. Also, the military's operation that swiftly removed Nicholas Maduro from Caracas, without injuring any American soldiers, was spectacular. Democrats previously called for Maduro's removal but now criticize the action, raising questions of impeachment of President Trump and war crimes. There's a lack of national unity. In the past both parties would celebrate such an event and praise the president and military, but now Democrats oppose it while their militia protests in U.S. cities. The country is in deep trouble regardless of the president, as constitutional protections for free speech and association are exploited by these groups, now joined by a recurring Hitlerian wing of neo-fascists who celebrate Hitler and Stalin, obsessively trash Jews, evangelical Christians supporting Israel, and the U.S. itself, while promoting Islamism and Sharia law. Later, property rights are fundamental human rights, earned through intellectual and physical labor, reflecting one's limited time on earth to accumulate wealth for family. Slogans like Zohran Mamdani's "warmth of the community" mask an iron fist of centralized government that erodes individual rights and liberties, rejecting Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian values in favor of Islamism and Marxism, which are incompatible with America's founding. The collective dehumanizes individuals and diminishes their creations. Afterward, these ideologies, whether Islamist or Marxist are incompatible with Americanism, posing a survival threat rather than an affordability issue. Marxism has failed everywhere, yet it's not taught in schools, media, or by podcasters. Our generation—parents and grandparents—must reclaim the public square to shield children from brainwashing by these diabolical saboteurs, including the Democrat Party, historically hostile to American beliefs.

In the first week of the new year, the U.S. launches a dramatic operation in Venezuela that ends with Nicolás Maduro (and Cilia Flores) in U.S. custody, transported to New York to face narco-terorism charges.  Ron and Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) unpack what we know about the raid, why the administration says it happened, and why the real motive may be bigger than oil or drugs.  Then they turn to the hardest questions: legality in a world where "international law” often lacks enforcement, what happens next inside Venezuela as the regime attempts to hold power without Maduro, and whether free and fair elections are even possible while the military and security services that upheld Maduro's rule remain intact.  Finally, they dissect the political reaction, arguing it's possible to demand transparency and a plan without laundering Maduro or aligning with authoritarian propaganda.  Related reading: Who Organized The Pro-Maduro Protests? https://x.com/asranomani/status/2007708749075480885?s=46 POLITICOLOGY+ Not yet a Politicology+ member?

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to examine how Nicolás Maduro's dance mocking Trump became a genuine trigger for the president — and why humiliation lands harder than policy. Wolff explains how Trump turns foreign affairs into personal vendettas, and when Maduro refuses the deals, dances, and laughs, it pierces Trump at the level of ego, not ideology. Also, the conversation widens to Trump's fixation on the MOCA test as proof of competence, the way distraction becomes a governing tactic, and how figures like Mark Kelly are pulled into the narrative to shift attention, rewrite the stakes, and keep the spotlight where Trump needs it most, namely away from Epstein.

Andrea joins Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman to expose the transnational looting spree and warn Stephen Miller will turn Venezuela into a new Alcatraz. First, we look at who stands to get rich off Trump's illegal invasion. Devin Nunes and a squad of Trump Media cronies just took over a company that tried to bid $10 billion for Citgo, Venezuela's oil crown jewel, right as their boss plotted a secret invasion. So who  won Citgo? Why, MAGA billionaire Paul Singer, a vulture capitalist who serves as Trump's ATM and hand-picked Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Who else is a big winner? The Republican Party's longtime backers, Exxon. Just as Trump hoped invading Venezuela would boost his plummeting approval ratings, Maduro threatened to invade oil-rich Guyana to distract from his own corruption. Now that Maduro is no longer harassing Exxon in Guyana, Exxon's stocks are soaring along with the rest of Big Oil. But the darkest "follow the money" story goes beyond oil. The private prison industry rakes in a fortune thanks to Trump's cruelty. El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison holds 40,000, but Trump and Stephen Miller want space for 80,000 people kidnapped from the U.S. Construction takes years; so Venezuela offers the obvious solution: the "New Alcatraz." Outsourcing prisoners to a lawless, torture-filled transnational Gulag, a story censored by Bari Weiss's CBS News, is the most troubling crisis of MAGA's illegal invasion of Venezuela and co-rule with a violent oil mafia. There's always hope, but it requires a blueprint and courage. The Venezuelan people proved their 2024 election victory through heroic citizen vote-counting: a model of resistance that we in the U.S. must study to reclaim our own democracy. We must align with these transnational forces for good to dismantle the global crime syndicate. We warned you this would happen. Now, we must organize, stand up, and remain defiant.  Show Notes: Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media became officers of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum's U.S. assets by Wendy Siegelman https://newstracs.com/devin-nunes-and-others-linked-to-trump-media-are-officers-of-a-company-that-bid-for-citgo/2026/01/01/ Learn from Venezuela's opposition: The Official Unofficial Record How do you count almost 12 million votes if you're not the government?

Just hours before U.S. aircraft surged into Caracas as part of an operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, an anonymous person placed a final online bet that the Venezuelan president would soon be ousted. The mystery gambler netted more than $400,000 on that long-shot bet – raising questions about whether they had inside knowledge of the operation. The payout has drawn attention to the growing world of prediction markets, online bets on real-world scenarios that some critics warn could have unintended negative effects. Today, Martine Powers talks with banking reporter Andrew Ackerman about the loosely regulated prediction market industry and what we know about the mystery gambler who won big on the Maduro ouster.Today's show was produced by Emma Talkoff.

Is Candace Owens being unfairly attacked for hosting an open-source investigation rather than presenting finalized conclusions? Jimmy thinks so, emphasizing that Owens' role is to surface leads and tips that the broader community can then investigate. He highlights commentary from "Jesse On Fire," who explains that Owens acts as a central hub for vetted clues, while viewers collectively verify, debunk, or confirm them without turning disagreements into infighting.  Jimmy goes on to criticize media figures and influencers who frame unverified leads as proof of incompetence or malice, claiming this division serves institutional interests that want investigations shut down. He concludes that discrediting Candace is a strategy to derail collective inquiry, arguing that real investigations require following every lead to its end—even ones that go nowhere. Plus segments on comments from a prominent Israeli billionaire that the US will have to forgo free speech rights for Israel and the Trump administration's insane charges against Maduro. Also featuring Russell Dobular, Max Blumenthal, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!

Last night, President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela would start sending the U.S. oil.

And the country's leaders continue to condemn U.S. actions in their country as they crack down on anti-Maduro sentiment.This begs the question – who is in charge of Venezuela?

The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, just made his first court appearance in federal court in New York. By all accounts, Maduro is a bad guy. However, the rule of law and the protections of our Constitution apply to bad guys. There's no bad guy exception to the protections enshrined in our ConstitutionThere are some reasons to believe that Donald Trump's DOJ is going to have its hands full in the Maduro case, particularly with the assigned Judge, Alvin Hellerstein, who is a very experienced, no nonsense jurist who previously has presided over multiple Trump associated cases.But that's a topic for another day.

They told you it was about narco-terrorism. They told you it was about justice. They lied. The capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro isn't just a win for the DEA—it is a geopolitical earthquake involving oil, gold, silver, the war on terror, and a battle for global supremacy. In this explosive episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with Ex-CIA Covert Ops Officer Mike Baker (host of The President's Daily Breif) and Constitutional Attorney Josh Hammer to reveal what the mainstream media and partisan pundits aren't telling you. We strip away the headlines to expose the truth about what's really going on, why, and what is likely to happen next:

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—Russia lashes out over the fall of Nicolás Maduro, but the outrage may be masking a far deeper strategic loss for Vladimir Putin, as Moscow's influence in the Western Hemisphere takes a serious hit. Later in the show—the strongman is gone, but the crackdown remains, as Venezuelan authorities detain and deport members of the foreign press, raising fresh doubts about any real transition. Plus—new details on what a postwar Ukraine could look like, as the United States prepares to take the lead in monitoring a future ceasefire alongside European allies. And in today's Back of the Brief—North Korea kicks off the new year with missile launches into the Sea of Japan, claiming another advance in its hypersonic weapons program.

According to the New York Times, it will likely be more than a year before a jury is seated to weigh the evidence presented against him. 3:15pm- Democrat Hypocrisy: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned the Trump administration's actions in Venezuela. But in 2020 Schumer publicly criticized President Trump for not putting an end to Maduro's leadership. Meanwhile, in 2019 Senator Chris Murphy wrote and op-ed calling for regime change in Venezuela—however, he now opposes regime change! 3:30pm- Rich's BIG announcement: Beginning next week, The Rich Zeoli Show will take on a new form!

His announcement comes after Minnesota, under his leadership, misappropriated billions-of-dollars to fraudulent welfare claims.

During the meeting, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said: “That president who incited that insurrection, continues to lie about what happened...he was claiming that we did not ask for the National Guard...for over three hours we begged him.” But in a video, taken the day of the riot, then Speaker of the House Pelosi conceded that it was her fault the National Guard wasn't ready: "I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more." 4:30pm- A Minneapolis Hilton hotel canceled numerous room reservations after learning the guests were members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Trumps numbers are falling and his administration is asking why. Bongino is back and he is declaring war on anyone question MAGA or the President. Venezuelan whistler blowers are now accusing Congressional members of taking drug money including Rand Paul.
