Federal prosecutors in San Diego announced today that two men who ran a fake charity that involved staffing concessions stands at Petco Park and Snapdragon Stadium have pleaded guilty to wire fraud. @voiceofsandiego deserves to take a victory lap for exposing the scam in 2023.

The United States’ attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife are a direct affront to all Latin Americans. Trump has not liberated Venezuela; he has seized it. #efEditorial https://t.co/N7FMJhVyUw

[Noah Hurowitz @NoahHurowitz]

The Trump administration’s abduction of Maduro is an extension of long-running efforts to topple the Venezuelan president.

Twenty years ago today, members of the U.S. Marines killed 25 civilians in Haditha, Iraq. What really happened that day—and why was no one held accountable? Season 3 of our Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast, In the Dark, investigated. Listen here. https://t.co/nUes8JdVXK
