Then, two mangled bodies. Then charred jerrycans, life jackets and dozens of packets. The assortment of singed flotsam appears to be the first physical evidence of the deadly U.S. campaign.

Maduro’s oil trader profited /americas/2025-12-18/trump-revised-chevrons-venezuela-deal-maduros-oil-trader-profited After returning to power, President Donald Trump halted and then changed the terms of Chevron’s operations in Venezuela, contending that it minimizes the company’s financial transfers to the country. Rather than funneling dollars into Venezuela directly, Chevron now hands part of the oil it produces to the Venezuelan government, which continues to own the oil fields.

Is that about to change? /government-politics/2025-12-08/miami-hasnt-had-a-democratic-mayor-in-almost-30-years-is-that-about-to-change The Miami mayor’s race hardly made a blip on the national radar in years past. It is officially nonpartisan. The city has a relatively small population of about 500,000 people, and the mayor’s powers are limited. This year is different.
