"When Trump asked ExxonMobil’s CEO Darren Woods [on Friday] how long it would take Exxon to restart operations there, Woods called Venezuela 'uninvestable,' suggesting it wasn’t a matter of Trump just snapping his fingers. First, 'significant changes have to be made.'”

"Woods told Trump bluntly that, 'There are a number of legal and commercial frameworks that would have to be established to even understand what kind of returns we would get on the investment.'

To a failed businessman selling himself as a savvy one, that assessment must have come as a shock."

"Heading into the fifth anniversary of January 6, there was pressure mounting on Donald Trump, including from Jack Smith’s recent testimony on Capitol Hill and DOJ’s failure to release the full Epstein files. Given that context, we’re forced to consider whether Trump’s attack on Venezuela is, at least in part, intended as a distraction."

The Sunday Morning Wrap-Up

Every week seems to feel like the worst week yet, but this one was truly unsettling, marked by the horrific shooting death of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an ICE agent.

"During the 2024 election, then-candidate Donald Trump had a secretive meeting at his Mar-a-Lago home with oil executives and asked them to spend $1 billion in his 2024 bid to return to the White House."

Law & Crime

Big Oil opened its pockets in 2024 for Republicans. Was Venezuela payback?

The oil industry didn’t spend the $1 billion that Donald Trump asked for, at least not in a public way. On the record, some $445 million was spent by the oil industry in the 2024 election.

"According to Politico, attendees 'included executives from oil companies Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Continental Resources as well as from natural gas producer EQT and gas exporter Cheniere Energy, and the trade association American Petroleum Institute.'"
