Even Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned data center developers that they are losing control of the narrative. Last month, a group of Senate Democrats launched an investigation into the role data centers play in increasing electricity prices. “This data center expansion affects so many issues,” said Mitch Jones, managing director of policy and litigation at Food and Water Watch. It included a bus tour of “Data Center Alley” in Northern Virginia, the world’s largest collection of data centers. “We want to see this damn data center go away and go someplace else,” said Allen Prather, who was leading the petition drive dressed as Santa.

During an interview with NBC News, Trump on Monday directly said the United States is not at war with Venezuela. “MAGA loves it,” Trump said. “MAGA loves what I’m doing. MAGA loves everything I do. MAGA loves everything I do, and I love everything I do, too.”

President Donald Trump speaks during the House Republican Party member retreat at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6. In fact, the “peacefully and patriotically” language was in the prepared remarks that he read off the teleprompter early that afternoon. A week after the assault, the House impeached Trump for inciting the insurrection, with 10 Republicans voting with every Democrat. Had he been convicted, the Senate almost certainly would have also voted to ban Trump from holding federal office ever again. Trump was speaking Tuesday to House Republicans assembled at the Kennedy Center, which Trump recently had renamed for himself.

And Trump’s decision to turn the American arsenal back on the Western Hemisphere recalls the very long, frequently dark history of American-led regime change closer to home. Trump isn’t even talking about democracyDefending democracy has long been a stated, if sometimes unbelievable, goal of recent US-led regime change, but Trump does not appear particularly interested in it. As soon as the Spanish were gone, we changed our minds and decided we wanted to rule Cuba,” Kinzer said. Setting aside values like democracy and human rights, Kuperman said US-led regime change accomplishes its goals about half the time. Taking out Maduro could be a step to regime change in Cuba.

Venezuela’s opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, says she has not spoken to United States President Donald Trump since October last year, even as she fulsomely lauds his administration’s brazen military actions in Venezuela. “I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader,” Trump said of Machado. The opposition leader told Hannity she plans to return to Venezuela “as soon as possible”. “I dedicated it to President Trump because I believed, at that time, that he deserved it,” Machado told Hannity. Machado seemed to welcome this idea, telling Hannity that Venezuela would transform into an “energy hub” for the US.

And that core problem: The lack of trust in the media, appears to be at the center of Bari Weiss’ reinvention plans at CBS News. It isn’t because they’re crazy,” Weiss told CBS News staff in a Christmas Eve memo defending her (now widely-discussed) decision to hold a 60 Minutes segment. Or will she attempt to steal viewers from Fox, CNN or ABC, given the zero-sum nature of TV viewership? The result of that experiment was some loyal CNN viewers leaving, and few if any new viewers tuning in. This year the question of trust in the media and the future of the media business will be more intertwined than people think.

Axios: “Some Democrats are grumbling at their party’s largely oppositional stance to President Trump’s raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying privately that their colleagues should be celebrating.”“These lawmakers argue it could be a major political miscalculation if the party fails to applaud the downfall of a brutal dictator with sufficient volume, even given grave concerns about the operation’s legality and longer-term ramifications.”Dan Pfeiffer: “Once again, Democrats are overcomplicating the simple—and therefore missing one of the easier layups in recent political history.”
