🎙️ Data & Dissonance — Tuesday, December 23, 2025

While Americans focus on Christmas week and year-end distractions, real power is being exercised far from the headlines. In this episode of Data & Dissonance, Artie and the panel break down the U.S. Coast Guard’s active pursuit of a third oil tanker linked to sanctioned Venezuelan oil, following the seizure of two others — a clear signal that sanctions are no longer just words on paper.

We examine what this enforcement means for global energy markets, why the timing matters, and who the real audience is for this message. Brian brings the unapologetic enforcement lens, Rachel cuts through the economic and geopolitical implications, Daniel connects the strategic dots, and Skylar challenges the conversation with concerns about humanitarian impact and transparency. This is a sober look at what happens when enforcement replaces excuses — and why it’s happening during Christmas week, when fewer people are paying attention.

No theatrics. No blurred narratives. Just analysis of what’s actually happening.
