But the funding is lumped into one piece of legislation with money for several other departments. wapo.st/4q6slnlImage
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:

° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement

° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

The United States plans to administer Venezuela for an extended period of time as it rebuilds the country’s oil industry, President Donald Trump said Saturday, holding open the door to an extended occupation of a nearby nation.

The mission to take Maduro out of power was named “Operation Absolute Resolve,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said.

A sweeping set of tariffs from President Donald Trump went into effect overnight, raising import taxes on merchandise from dozens of countries.

Here's what to know: wapo.st/3Hkb4qvImage
Goods from nations with which the U.S. does hundreds of billions of dollars of trade, such as India, Switzerland and South Africa, will see new taxes of up to 39 percent, with India’s rate set to jump to 50 percent in three weeks.

How do tariffs work?

Tariffs are like a sales tax applied at the border to an importer.

They're an opportunity to raise public revenue and can theoretically incentivize domestic production and protect certain industries from being undercut by foreign competitors.Image

Putin accepted the supplies but took pains to prevent political fallout.

He cautioned Trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to Moscow, according to “War,” a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Four years later, the personal relationship between the two men appears to have persisted, Woodward reports, as Trump campaigns to return to the White House and Putin orchestrates his bloody assault on Ukraine.
