Demand a full public accounting of the Venezuelan oil deal. Nearly 100 million barrels of Venezuelan oil worth roughly $8 billion have moved through a non-transparent process, and the American public has no idea where that money went. Secretary Rubio promised Congress an audit of a so-called short-term account in Qatar and never delivered. That's not a delay — that's stonewalling.
Support the Venezuela Oil Proceeds Transparency Act and push for the GAO audit Democratic lawmakers have already requested. The administration quietly told federal prosecutors to drop criminal investigations into Delcy Rodríguez — a person running a country while under drug trafficking charges — in exchange for oil cooperation. That's not foreign policy. That's a backroom deal that bypasses Congress, bypasses the courts, and bypasses the public. Every day without accountability is a day this corruption gets normalized. Demand the audit. Demand the disclosure. Do your job.
