Sources reveal that Donald Trump’s relationship with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado soured after she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, a recognition Trump reportedly desired. Following the capture of Nicolas Maduro, Machado called for a new order and the recognition of Edmundo Gonzalez. However, the Trump administration has signaled a willingness to work with Delcy Rodriguez, who has called for cooperation with the United States. Despite this, Trump has warned Rodriguez of consequences if U.S. interests are not upheld, while the European Union has advocated for Machado and Gonzalez to lead the transition.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has initiated an administrative case against Senator Mark Kelly, aiming to strip him of rank and reduce his military pension. The action is in response to Kelly reminding active-duty service members of their legal obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Hegseth claims the senator’s actions were “reckless and seditious,” though Kelly argues he was simply restating a fundamental principle of military law. If carried through, this would be a significant effort to use military disciplinary processes against an elected official, which has been met with strong opposition from Kelly and others.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ends campaign for reelection – this announcement has sparked a range of reactions, primarily characterized by disappointment, frustration, and a sense of disillusionment with the current political landscape. It seems many feel a good man, a capable leader, is being pushed out due to a relentless tide of manufactured controversies and partisan attacks. The sentiment is that Walz, and by extension, Democrats in general, are being held to a standard that Republicans, seemingly, are not.
