Seven weeks after a U.S. military operation on January 3 captured former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, killing 32 Cubans, interim President Delcy Rodríguez has dismissed Cuban advisers from key roles, turning to Venezuelan bodyguards only. This shift follows U.S. pressure, including blocked oil shipments to Cuba, and aligns with economic reforms like a new oil law granting America oversight of sales, which has funneled $1 billion in revenue. A recent poll shows 72% of Venezuelans feeling optimistic about the country's direction under Rodríguez, though opposition voices question her support and highlight fears of U.S. coercion amid calls for elections.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

With Maduro in U.S. custody, Venezuela's interim leader ordered Cuban security teams out of her guard and intelligence units—a sharp break from years of close reliance on Havana's elite protection.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

This region, known as the Mosquito Coast after the indigenous Miskito people, spans 700 miles of swamps, rainforests, mangroves, and lagoons backed by steep mountains. Heavy rains, poor harbors, and diseases like malaria and yellow fever thwarted European colonizers, including a disastrous 1698 Scottish colony that lost over 2,000 settlers to starvation and attacks. Today, small hubs like La Ceiba and Bluefields dot the sparsely populated area, sustained by bananas, fishing, and tourism, while rugged terrain and indigenous lands keep it wild and remote.

Rep. Tim Burchett's No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act, introduced in January 2025, aims to block U.S. aid from reaching the Taliban through foreign partners or NGOs, and it requires reports on supporting entities and cash programs. The bill passed the House last June, cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last month, and reached the Senate calendar on February 10—but Majority Leader John Thune has not scheduled a floor vote. Figures of $40-87 million weekly stem from 2024 SIGAR audits showing aid partners paying taxes and fees to the Taliban-controlled government, amid warnings of a broken aid system and diversion risks, even as direct U.S. cash flights ended after USAID cuts in January 2025.

Podcaster Shawn Ryan's heated rant captured a raw frustration: why has it taken two years to stop sending up to $87 million weekly to the Taliban?

A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.
