47+ min ago (261+ words) Venezuela lashed out at the U.S. for designating a Maduro-linked cartel as a terrorist organization, calling it a "ridiculous fabrication" and claiming the group is "nonexistent" in a statement released Monday. "Venezuela categorically, firmly, and absolutely rejects the new and ridiculous fabrication by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of State, Marco Rubio, which designates the non-existent Cartel of the Suns as a terrorist organization," Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said on his Telegram account, according to a Reuters translation. The foreign minister also alleged that the designation is only being made to "justify an illegitimate and illegal intervention against Venezuela, under the classic U.S. regime-change format." The terrorist designation is designed to hinder the cartel's ability to use American assets by banning "material support or resources" from U.S. personnel, deeming members of the cartel ineligible for entry into the United States, and requiring…...

49+ min ago (680+ words) The Los Angeles Times was ripped online after publishing a story saying a home had been "rebuilt" in the Pacific Palisades since the fire, despite records showing the permit was first submitted two months before the blaze broke out. The Times ran the piece Saturday under the headline, "The first home has been rebuilt in the wake of the Palisades Fire." The story reported that a two-story showcase home by developer Thomas James Homes (TJH) had received its certificate of occupancy from Los Angeles County. Shortly after the article went up, users on X accused the outlet of "lying." Former District Coalitions Director and U.S. House Communications Director Phil Hardy blasted the post, writing, "It's not even true. It's just all an absolute disgrace." "Plans were submitted on Nov 8 2024. Not a fire rebuild, just a developer spec from 2024," former reality star…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago (278+ words) Just by living in 21st-century America, you have a lot to be thankful for. We've come a long way from what the Pilgrims had to celebrate at the first Thanksgiving. Over half of the settlers had died during the previous winter. The remaining settlers were grateful for a harvest that would help them survive the upcoming winter. Today, most people are concerned with how many servings of turkey they can eat while still having enough room for pumpkin pie. It'd be impossible to list all the changes over the last four centuries that have turned scarcity into opulence. The bravery and sacrifice of members of the military are near the top of the list. So is the fossil fuel industry. Renewable energy gets all the publicity, but wind and solar power generated only about 14% of the nation's electricity in 2023. Fossil…...

14+ hour, 3+ min ago (824+ words) The American financial system is powerful but fragile It is an intricate engine that depends on accurate, reliable data to sustain confidence from banks to borrowers to investors. When that data breaks down, the consequences are immediate and far-reaching. We saw that firsthand during the housing crisis of 2008, when unreliable or incomplete information in the mortgage underwriting process triggered a chain reaction of defaults that ultimately forced a historic taxpayer-funded bailout. Fortunately, today's lending environment is far stronger because of those hard-learned lessons. Over the past 15 years, policymakers, regulators, and market participants have rebuilt the guardrails that protect the housing market and the broader economy from the kind of cascading risk seen in 2008. That discipline has helped restore market confidence, making the system more resilient to global shocks and economic downturns. One of the most important of those guardrails is…...
