On July 18, @SecRubio announced the historic release of 10 Americans detained in Venezuela, recognizing the efforts of @POTUS @StateSPEHA and El Salvador’s @nayibbukele. On August 1, Mission France became the first U.S. Embassy to raise the Hostage and Wrongfully Detained flag, joined by Lucas Hunter, a French-American who was among those released, and his family.

Thank you, @SenTedCruz and @SenBrianSchatz, for recruiting 16 senators to sign a bipartisan letter calling on @SecRubio to do everything possible to bring Lucas and the other American detainees in Venezuela home as soon as possible. Americans don’t leave Americans behind!
AMAZING BIPARTISAN effort of 18 Senators co-led by @SenTedCruz and @SenBrianSchatz calling on the administration to use ALL means available to bring the American hostages in #Venezuela home bolstered by @SenRickScott and @SenAshleyMoody’s own letter.
Thank you for your attention and support!

Thanks to the surfer community’s support for Lucas, an American surfer wrongfully detained in Venezuela since January @surfertoday
Surfers should be able to surf & not worry about being kidnapped to another country.
We know you understand surfers safety! @DNIGabbard
The French-American wave rider was detained in #Colombia by the Venezuelan army on January 7, 2025. The family believes he has been used as a political pawn because of his passport.

So happy that Joseph St. Clair is home from Venezuela where, like @FreeLucasHunter , he was wrongfully detained having never tried to go to Venezuela! Thank you @RichardGrenell and @realDonaldTrump! We know you can bring Lucas and the other 8 Americans held hostage home soon.

We are their families - they are our detained loved ones.
Our campaign is comprised entirely of the families of Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained overseas. Our ask is simple:
Today, and every day, we ask you to remember our loved ones and help us #BringThemHome 🇺🇸

Lucas Hunter traveled to Colombia for what was supposed to be two-and-a-half-week long vacation to kite surf in late December.
His sister hasn’t seen or heard from him for more than two months, after he was detained close to the border with Venezuela.

Lucas Hunter is wrongfully detained in Venezuela since January 7th. He was not trying to enter - they brought over the border from Colombia. His sister @SophieH53593 is going to DC on March 9th and is ready to meet and support you in getting him home.

✍️ New blog
Ricardo & I sat together in Berlin a few weeks back to brainstorm on what we call "Vertical APIs": APIs that connect old industries and create a new "layer of abundance" for new innovations in these industries.
This is the result 👇
Hope this sparks some interest!
📝Here's an investment thesis we've been thinking about and investing under for some time.
How Vertical APIs like @nexhealthHQ @tryVital and @procuros are aggregating industries and abstracting legacy software and protocols
Feedback welcome 🙃
