The Trump administration may have notified oil companies that it was preparing to nab Venezuela’s leader, at least according to statements made Sunday by President Donald Trump. There is precedent for keeping information about military action from lawmakers — such as when President Barack Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was passed in response to the Vietnam War by a united Congress over Richard Nixon’s veto as a way to force presidents to consult lawmakers before and after military action. During the first Trump administration, the Utah Republican supported a bipartisan resolution to bar the president from offensive military action in Iran without congressional approval. A resolution under the War Powers Act to demand congressional approval for military action in Venezuela was filed by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine and Republican Sen. Rand Paul last month.

The US has seized an oil tanker linked to Venezuela after tracking it across the Atlantic, according to a social media post from US European Command. Originally called the Bella 1, the tanker was sanctioned by the US in 2024 for operating within a “shadow fleet” of tankers transporting illicit oil. News of the seizure was first reported Wednesday by Reuters, which quoted two sources as saying the operation was being carried out by the Coast Guard and US military. Bondi said crews of other sanctioned tankers would face potential prosecution if they failed to “obey instructions” of the Coast Guard or other federal officials. At a briefing with key lawmakers Monday, Rubio said the US believed Russia could not just claim the tanker, according to a source familiar with the briefing.

The removal of such sanctions would then mean the return of Iranian oil to the world market. However, perhaps as a further indication of Iranian economic mismanagement, and despite this export gain, Iran’s Gross Domestic Product actually shrank by 0.6% in 2025, (Source), further underlining the depressing Iranian economic situation. The preceding analysis notwithstanding, freed from international isolation, Iran might even reclaim its role as a regional economic power, and an international oil exporting power. Indeed, even without Iranian supply, oil markets are anticipating a huge glut in available oil in 2026, leading to expected depressed prices. Overall, the year 2026 starts with an expected glut in the oil market, combined with mass uncertainty, both international and domestic, about the extent of future oil supply.

The U.S. childhood vaccine schedule now looks more like the schedule in Denmark, which HHS looked to for inspiration. AdvertisementTo get to the 72 number, those behind the childhood vaccine schedule change likely counted the individual components in combination vaccines as separate injections, according to Patel. MANDEL NGAN via Getty Images The childhood vaccine schedule changes aren't backed by science, experts told HuffPost. It’s worth knowing that Denmark is “an outlier among developed nations” when it comes to its vaccine schedule, according to Patel. The fact that Denmark’s vaccine schedule isn’t as comprehensive as other countries is evident in its disease burden.

A woman shows a painting depicting ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former President Hugo Chavez during a demonstration by supporters in Caracas on Sunday. A highly confidential CIA assessment produced at the request of the White House warned President Trump of a wider conflict in Venezuela if he were to support the country’s democratic opposition once its president, Nicolás Maduro, was deposed, a person familiar with the matter told The Times. AdvertisementInstead, Trump said his administration was working with Maduro’s handpicked vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, who has since been named the country’s interim president. The existence of the CIA assessment was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president Monday in a ceremony attended by diplomats from Russia, China and Iran.

In recent months, the term “male loneliness epidemic” has become a dominant talking point across media and online platforms. But one thing is clear: dating, women, and feminism are not the cause or the solution to male loneliness. Other sources attribute the decline in women dating men to an increase in women’s rights and autonomy. This has sparked trends of referring to the male loneliness epidemic as a male accountability, consequence, or self-inflicted epidemic. Maybe instead of simply talking about a male loneliness epidemic, men should consider: How could I be alienating myself?
