Trump Family Businesses Rake in $4 Billion After His Reelection with Focus on AI, Crypto & Nuclear
Ventures launched by the Trump family since Donald Trump's reelection have generated at least $4 billion in proceeds and paper wealth for the Trump family. With investments across sectors like real estate, hospitality, media, cryptocurrency and more, the Trumps are "increasingly integrating their business empire" into the wider U.S. economy, says David Uberti, who has been reporting on the family's self-enrichment for The Wall Street Journal. The coupling of Trump's economic and political influence is raising major questions about conflicts of interest. "You have all of these different business interests in different areas in which the government regulates," and this "proximity to power may help along some of these deals and the valuations at which they're made."

We look at the Trumps' cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial and the Trump Organization's planned $6 billion merger with a firm hoping to build a nuclear fusion plant to power AI data centers with Uberti, who says such "very speculative, highly risky corners of financial markets" are key to the family's investment strategy.

Chevron Stocks Surge After Trump Vows to "Take Back" Venezuela's Oil After U.S. Attack
The share prices of U.S. oil companies surged following the Trump administration's attack on Venezuela and abduction of its president, Nicolás Maduro. In public statements, Trump has been clear about his desire to reassert U.S. corporate control over Venezuela's nationalized oil industry. Now with Trump's show of force over Venezuela's political sovereignty, many investors see the potential for a similar overpowering of the socialist country's economic independence. However, notes financial reporter David Uberti, it won't be so easy for Wall Street to make a profit. In addition to upgrading Venezuela's "decrepit" oil-producing infrastructure, "they have to push for more appetite for oil around the world."

"Imperial Laboratory": Alexander Aviña on the "Donroe" Doctrine & U.S. Intervention in Latin America
We take a closer look at the Trump administration's Monroe Doctrine-based "Donroe Doctrine" — a tightening of U.S. control over the Americas amid weakening global hegemony and internal divisions within the governing MAGA coalition. "As has happened in the past, when the U.S. has faced resistance or defeat elsewhere in the world, they come back 'home' to the Western Hemisphere. They use Latin America as an imperial laboratory, as they have since almost the founding of the United States," explains Alexander Aviña, an associate professor of Latin American history at Arizona State University. "It's just part of this long history of constant U.S. intervention in the region to prevent and not tolerate Latin American assertions of sovereignty and self-determination."

"It's All About the Oil, Stupid!": Mehdi Hasan on Trump Attacking Venezuela & Kidnapping Maduro
_Zeteo_'s Mehdi Hasan outlines Donald Trump's "Donroe Doctrine," a throwback foreign policy exemplified by the Trump administration's shocking intervention in Venezuela. With his claims of U.S. sovereignty over nations in the Western Hemisphere, "Trump's basically saying, 'Well, this is ours, and China, Russia can have their spheres of influence.' And it is very 19th-century-esque. 'Let's divide up the world between the powers.'" This orientation is a major shift from U.S. foreign policy of recent decades, such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when interventionist actions were framed around ideological motivations, explains Hasan. "They said it was WMDs. They said it was democracy. They said it was al-Qaeda. They at least pretended that it wasn't about the oil." Meanwhile, Trump is brazen about his aims to seize control of Venezuela's resources and demonstrate that "might is right."

Doctors in Jail? Hospitals Stripped of Fed Funding? The Criminalization of Trans Youth Healthcare
The Trump administration on Thursday announced new measures to target hospitals and doctors providing care to trans youth. Under the new rules unveiled by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, who leads Medicaid and Medicare, the government would strip federal funding for any hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming care. The new rules were announced a day after the House of Representatives narrowly approved a bill that aims to criminalize providing gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18 and subject providers to hefty fines and prison time.

"This is a drastic departure from any concern about science, concern about parents and their rights," says Chase Strangio, co-director of the American Civil Liberties Union's LGBTQ & HIV Project. "It is putting hospitals in an impossible situation, and just another example of this administration undermining and threatening all of our health and welfare."

We also speak with Dr. Jeffrey Birnbaum, a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist who works with transgender youth in New York City. He says the families he works with are "terrified right now," but vows to continue his work. "I refuse to stop providing this care, knowing that I could potentially face 10 years in prison and a felony charge. I'm willing to go down that route, if necessary."
