"President Donald Trump lashed out at Democrat critics calling his shocking strikes on Venezuela illegal and unconstitutional just hours after announcing the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Trump joined Fox & Friends Weekend by phone after announcing through social media that Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were both captured following massive strikes on Caracas, Venezuela's capital. The strikes follow a number of operations carried out by the U.S., including striking boats from Venezuela that U.S. officials have alleged are carrying illegal drugs to the U.S."
"Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Maduro and his wife were indicted and charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York."

He says we don't have enough money for healthcare for Americansbut somehow we have unlimited funds for war?? Rep. Jim McGovern (@RepMcGovern) January 3, 2026"
