Following the deadly U.S. raid to pluck President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, out of Venezuela, local news organizations reported on the reaction in their communities. Jose Lara, a Venezuelan expat living in West Haven, Connecticut, told Breen he was hopeful that Maduro’s arrest would lead to better days for his home country. “It was a little bit of a shock,” said Pedro Velasquez, whose family runs nonprofit medical clinics in both Memphis and Venezuela. Jackson leads with Andrew Josefchak of the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition and a left-wing supporter of the Maduro government, who joined with more than 200 others to protest Trump’s action on Satuday. “They don’t want war.”The Strib also quotes Democratic opponents of Trump’s action like U.S. Sen.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — From an existential crisis to a gritty comeback, UCLA ran a gamut of emotions over the course of a few hours here. Iowa point guard Bennett Stirtz added a 30-foot 3-pointer in the final seconds for good measure. Even with a much better effort in the second half, UCLA (10-4, 2-1 Big Ten) wasn't nearly good enough on either end. Equally atrocious was the Bruins' defense, players leaving the perimeter open on drive-and-dishes that led to a flurry of 3-pointers. UCLA went on to score the final five points of the half ... and still trailed 40-22.

It is a question of whether President Trump may unilaterally decide to overthrow another government using American military force — and whether that decision now passes without objection. The United States acted alone, using lethal military power inside another sovereign state. The power to declare war does not belong to the president. When war powers are exercised this way, Congress does not merely fail in its duties; it becomes ornamental. The Trump administration’s actions and justifications after the fact dissolve the boundary meant to restrain presidential power.

Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced Gray Davis in a history-making gubernatorial recall but ended up being just as unpopular. There are roughly a dozen major candidates for California governor in 2026 and, taken together, they lack even a small fraction of Schwarzenegger’s celebrity wattage. Voices Barabak: She was highly qualified to be California governor. In California governor’s race, boring can be beautiful California may be home to Hollywood, but the state has a long history of electing non-celebrity, charisma-challenged governors. If the candidates for California governor fail to light up a room, that’s not such a bad thing.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is expected to appear for the first time in court tomorrow, and his legal team is likely to argue his arrest violated international law, CNN senior legal analyst and former prosecutor Elie Honig said. In an extensive military operation in the middle of the night, United States military personnel captured Maduro and his wife from the president’s compound in Caracas and brought them to the US. Regardless, Honig said it’s unlikely the judge will throw out the case because of existing precedent that gives the executive branch power to make decisions about military actions. Maduro is being prosecuted in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. “It has a very long history of trying the world’s most notorious gangsters, terrorists, drug traffickers.”

Venezuela’s new leader is a socialist true believer who helped Nicolás Maduro maintain his grip on power for more than a decade as the country’s economy crumbled. Trump said that as Venezuela’s new de facto leader, she agreed to do whatever the U.S. needed done. “I think they will maneuver to stay in power as long as they can.”It is bad news for Venezuela’s opposition leader , Machado, who has been a strong supporter of the Trump administration’s campaign against Maduro. Under Maduro, the Rodríguez siblings became pillars of his regime, with Jorge playing a vital role overseeing a fraudulent election last year that allowed Maduro to remain in power. To rule the country, she will need to rely on other key, hardline actors in the Maduro regime, particularly Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello , who has been widely accused of human rights abuses.
