Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM EST.

Today we discuss:

• America’s Coup Against Venezuela: The UN Security Council and many nations, including US allies, criticize Trump for overthrowing and kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro, and Trump threatens a second military attack unless Acting President Delcy Rodriguez collaborates with the US to expel Cubans and Iranians, cracking down on drugs, and ceasing oil sales to US adversaries. Venezuela braces for economic collapse. Oh, and Canada is worried about the effect on its oil industry. Maduro calls himself a POW.

• Cuba in Trouble: Venezuelan oil supplies likely to be cut off, but neither Mexico nor Russia is inclined to fill the gap. Will the US intervene militarily in a country likely to resist?

• Trump Targets Poor Kids: HHS to cut off Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado—Democratic states—from $7 billion for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
