As the Trump administration escalates its military campaign against Venezuela, we speak to Venezuelan journalist Andreína Chávez about the latest developments. Responding to the U.S. military's drone strikes on small boats and seizures of oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela, Chávez says U.S. claims of pursuing fentanyl traffickers lack evidence and are "pretext" for an attempt "to asphyxiate the Venezuelan economy" and wrest control of the country's state-owned oil reserves. In the face of U.S. aggression, says Chávez, "Venezuelan communes and Venezuelan popular organizations in general have responded to Trump's claims that he owns the Venezuelan oil with a very strong response, saying that they're going to defend sovereignty, that they're going to defend Venezuela's self-determination."

New York City is preparing to welcome its Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and member of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYC-DSA), into office. Ahead of his highly anticipated inauguration, we sit down with NYC-DSA's co-chair Grace Mausser to discuss the goals of the incoming administration and next steps for the volunteer-powered campaign apparatus that helped propel Mamdani to City Hall. "Just getting a mayor into office, while impressive and very exciting, is not enough," says Mausser. "The reason we rallied behind Zohran is because he is committed to building our project."

"He is executing the playbook of Project 2025," says Michael Mann, scientist and co-author of Science Under Siege. Without NCAR, "we will not have the sorts of observational data and climate models that we need to inform climate policy."
