An emergency broadcast interrupts the holiday break after the Trump administration launches a sudden military strike on Venezuela and claims to have captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Elizabeth breaks down what's known so far, why the action is framed as unconstitutional and illegal under international norms, and what immediate political and global consequences could follow. The episode closes with a direct call for listeners to contact their representatives and demand accountability.
Key Takeaways• The administration carried out an unprovoked attack on Venezuela and claims it kidnapped Maduro and his wife • No congressional briefing or authorization is reported — framed as a War Powers and constitutional crisis • Unclear U.S. jurisdiction for prosecuting a foreign leader; legality is heavily questioned • High risk of escalation given Venezuela's ties to China and Russia and potential UN action • Listeners are urged to call Congress and demand oversight, hearings, and accountability
