One interesting note about the @TIME@delcyrodriguezv interview is that, according to the story, it was conducted on June 16. Even for @Time (a weekly magazine), this is slow! Why wait until now? Did the quakes delay its release? Does it relate to the August 1 meetings?

Every day I hear the same message: it’s time for new leadership. We can defeat María Elvira Salazar, but first we must win the Democratic primary.
Vote by August 18. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our volunteers for your hard work.
Randy Fine in a CODEL to Venezuela is ridiculous. Probably the least informed guy about the country and its situation on that entire delegation.
Yet another example how MAGA couldn’t care less about the Venezuelan crisis they claim to fix, for them it’s just an amusement park at this point.
Trump tells a Venezuelan reporter to "say hello" to Venezuela:
"They-- I've known them for a long time. I've known that country, and you know, I owned the Miss Universe pageant, and Miss Venezuela always did very well in that pageant, so I know something about the country, but I've, I've known it for a long time. They're great people. Say hello, okay?"
Trump on Venezuela: For a long time, I've known their country, and I own the Miss Universe pageant and Ms. Venezuela always did very well in that pageant so I know something about the country
Elon Musk is what happens when someone, anyone, mistakes the shithole formerly known as Twitter for real life. That’s why he thinks that Britain is overrun by Muslim rapists, that’s why he thought Nolan’s Odyssey would bomb at the box office. High on his own supply of nonsense.
What's up with these new tariffs? And new and shifting justifications?
@scottlincicome has the authoritative explainer you need in Dispatch Markets.

The Economist: You have close to 250 million followers on X. You say things like "civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when"
Elon Musk: On the current trend, yes.
The Economist: When were you last in the UK?
Musk: A few years ago
The Economist: Exactly. I live there. That is nonsense. The numbers also disprove what you say. London is a much safer city than any city in the US. You have painted Europe and the UK as overrun with terrifying Muslim immigrants, there's rape on every corner, there's civilizational destruction.
Musk: I didn't say any of those things.
"We're gonna take a lot of money out so that we can take care of the country…”

Soulless moguls and wealth porn are out. Amid a real-life economic downturn, the greatest shows of 2026—from “Beef” to “The Comeback”—are all about scraping by. https://t.co/oNwIDOZ31g
To add to list of sins, the Cuban regime also been behind male pattern baldness, erectile dysfunction & Cats (the movie). Evidence in support almost as robust as other claims here. The tyranny, human rights abuses & support 4 Chavez & Maduro disaster are well documented though

CNBC: "Is there a narrative in Venezuela that you are stealing their oil?"
U.S. Secretary of Energy: "That's untrue. We're just controlling the flow of revenues from their oil." @atrupar (2026)
