fWotD Episode 3155: Tufted jay Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 24 December 2025, is Tufted jay.The tufted jay (Cyanocorax dickeyi), also known as the painted jay and Dickey's jay, is a species of bird in the crow family Corvidae. It is endemic to a small area of the Sierra Madre Occidental in the Mexican states of Sinaloa, Durango, and Nayarit. A distinctive large jay, it has a prominent dark crest on its head; purplish blue back, wings, and face; a white spot above the eye and on the cheek; white undersides; and a partially white tail. Its typical call is a quick, four-note vocalization.The relationship between the tufted jay and other members of the genus Cyanocorax has been a subject of interest since the species was first described in 1935. Because of the visual similarities between the tufted jay and the white-tailed jay, the two were thought by some to be closely related. A 2010 mitochondrial DNA study has shown that the tufted jay is most closely related to a group of South American jays, despite their ranges being separated by over 2,000 km (1,200 mi). They are likely descended from an ancestral jay which ranged throughout Central and South America.The tufted jay lives in pine-oak forests, often remaining high in the canopy. Its diet consists primarily of berries and fruit, and to a lesser extent insects such as katydids. It forms social flocks centred around a single breeding pair, with some flocks remaining together over several generations. The tufted jay's breeding season starts in late March, with a clutch of two to five eggs being laid in a nest that is cooperatively built by members of the flock. The tufted jay is considered near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Its population is decreasing, with an estimated 10,000–20,000 mature individuals in the wild. The primary threat to its survival is habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and deforestation due to logging and narcotic cultivation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:36 UTC on Wednesday, 24 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Tufted jay on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

19 Minutes PodcastIn this episode of The Ag View Pitch, we sit down with Jarod Creed to break down why today's grain markets are forcing farmers to rethink everything they know about marketing. Corn demand remains historically strong, soybeans are shifting toward domestic crush, and South American weather risks loom in the background, but the real story is how farm programs, crop insurance, and recent policy changes have completely altered the revenue equation.We dive into why a board rally can actually reduce total farm revenue, how ARC and PLC payments factor into real-world marketing decisions, and why the biggest risk for many producers right now is not lower prices, but higher ones. This conversation also tackles basis management, cash flow pressures, lender conversations, and why volatility, not straight-line rallies, may be the most profitable environment for farmers over the next 18–24 months.
Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Shakira's life has been a high gloss blend of historic career moves, revealing interviews, and the kind of tour news that rewrites résumés rather than just feeds timelines. According to IQ Magazine, she has just wrapped the South American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with a finale in Córdoba, Argentina, a milestone that effectively closes one of the most commercially and culturally important chapters of her touring career to date, cementing this era as a centerpiece in any future biography. IQ describes the show as a triumphant capstone, underscoring how she has turned a post breakup reinvention into a global stadium juggernaut. Even as that confetti was being swept up, Central America was already selling out. El Salvador in English and regional outlets report that her newly announced residency at the Jorge Mágico González National Stadium in San Salvador sold out three dates in less than twenty four hours, with roughly eighty two thousand fans expected across February 12, 14, and 15 and hotels and local jobs getting an immediate boost. Ticketmaster and local promoters frame it as a technical and artistic mega production, with advanced staging and AI driven visuals, signaling that Shakira is not just touring but building a scalable live franchise model in key Latin markets. On the North American front, Ticketmaster and the Ticketmaster Blog confirm that Shakira will bring the tour to major U S and Canadian stadiums throughout 2025 before closing the year with three intimate Up Close and Personal shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on December 27, 28, and 29, each already being marketed as a high demand event with VIP packages. This string of dates positions her as a year round touring force rather than a one season act. Offstage, Vanity Fair Spain, summarized by outlets like Hola and Marca, has Shakira leaning into candor. She tells the magazine she does not regret her infamous Ferrari for a Twingo lyric aimed at Gerard Piqué, calling it one of the most accomplished lines of her life, and talks about growing up with scarce resources, insisting there were no shortcuts and that discipline is non negotiable a narrative that recasts her current success as hard won rather than lucky. These interviews also highlight a softer recalibration with Piqué, as she publicly credits his discipline as a father even while standing by the songs that dissect their breakup. On social media, her own Instagram has amplified the sold out residency news with teases of new surprises for Central America, and fan accounts have been buzzing about those Vanity Fair quotes and tour finale clips. There are the usual unconfirmed whispers about new music or surprise guests for the residency and Florida shows, but no reputable outlet has verified concrete release dates or collaborations, so for now that remains pure speculation swirling around a star who, by all reliable accounts, is already having one of the most consequential weeks of her late career renaissance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 217-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,685 on turnover of $8.7-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Thursday as renewed concerns about an artificial intelligence bubble drove Wall Street down overnight. Analysts say renewed fears over an A-I bubble triggered selling in large-cap AI-related stocks and investors seized on the lead as an excuse (藉口) to pocket recent gains. However, the Tai-Ex still recovered from its initial downturn by the end of the session and the index saw strong technical support ahead of the 27,400-point mark - which is around the 60-day moving average. Central bank leaves interest rates unchanged for 7th straight quarter The central bank has opted to leave its key interest rates unchanged after wrapping up (結束) it final quarterly policymaking meeting of this year. The market had widely anticipated the bank would leave interest rates unchanged for the seventh consecutive quarter - despite the U-S Federal Reserve cutting rates for the third straight policymaking meeting last week. The decision by the central bank means that the discount rate remains at 2-percent and that's still the highest level in 15 years. Economists have said it's currently difficult for the central bank to follow the U-S Fed's lead and cut interest rates as the local economy remains strong and inflation stable. According to government estimates, the island's economy will grow 7.37-per cent for the whole of this year, largely on the back of an increase of 8.21-per cent in the third quarter due strong global demand for artificial intelligence applications. EU Delays FTA with SAmerican Countries Amid Protests The European Commission says the European Union is delaying a massive free-trade deal with South American countries after fiery protests by farmers and last-minute opposition by France and Italy. Top EU officials had hoped to sign the EU-Mercosur in Brazil this weekend, after more than 25 years of negotiations. Instead Commission chief spokesperson Paula Pinho confirmed that the signature had been put off until January. Experts say the delay will dent the EU's negotiating credibility globally as it seeks to forge (創造) new trade ties amid commercial tensions with the U.S. and China. USTrump signs executive order that could reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order labeling (標示,標籤) marijuana a less dangerous drug. AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports Italy Monument Outside PM Office Restored Italian restorers have used laser beams to clean an ancient Roman marble column in the piazza outside the prime minister's office, removing layers of dust and grime that had covered the monument for decades. The 47-meter-tall column, built between A.D. 180 and 193, features a relief that spirals (盤旋上升) upward and recounts the battles of one of Rome's best-known emperors, Marcus Aurelius. During the column's last restoration, in the 1980s, restorers used tiny brushes to remove the dirt. The $2.3-million dollar restoration is funded by the post-pandemic European recovery fund, and includes a new system to illuminate (照亮) the column at night. Work began in April and the restoration (恢復) is expected to finish in June. That was the I.C.R.T.

From the BBC World Service: The European Union says it's close to agreeing a trade deal with the South American economic bloc Mercosur, which represents Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The agreement covers all aspects of trade, but the most controversial area is agriculture. Farmers have been protesting because they fear a glut of cheap imports. Then, the European Commission unveiled its first-ever roadmap for tackling a Europe-wide housing affordability crisis earlier this week. We'll discuss it with the EU's housing Commissioner.

After 25 years the Mercosur deal is reaching crunch time. The trade deal which would permit free trade between the EU and the South American countries that make up the Mercosur bloc has a deadline of December 20th.It allows the EU to export more cars, wines and spirits to South America, with goods including meat coming the other way – and that's what worries Iris, but also French, farmers.There are hopes it will be signed off at this week's two-day EU summit in Brussels; hopes at least on the part of the European Commission and Germany.France and Italy are still holding out on signing up – urging a push-back to January on any decision – while Ireland appears stuck in the middle.Mercosur countries form the world's sixth largest economy with a total population of 270 million people. It's a vast market for EU producers.So how will the Mercosur talks play out this week and what pressure will Ireland be put under to sign up to a deal that Irish farmers say would greatly injure not just them, but the economy as a whole.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

A Clare farming representative is urging the Government to follow through on its pledge to oppose a deal which it's feared could jeopardise livelihoods across the county. Feakle-based chairperson of the Clare branch of the Irish Farmers Association Stephen Walsh is one of thousands who've taken to the streets of Brussels today to oppose the EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement. The deal would give South American countries like Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay unprecedented access to EU markets, allowing 99,000 tonnes of low-tariff beef into Europe. Stephen has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons the viability of communities in Clare is dependent on the deal being rejected.
It's Wednesday, December 17th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nicaragua prohibits tourists from bringing Bibles Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports that Nicaragua now prohibits tourists from bringing Bibles into the country. This is part of a broader deterioration of religious freedom in the Central American nation. Religious leaders often face arbitrary detention, and officials generally prohibit public religious events. The authoritarian government has also shut down over 1,300 religious groups since 2018. Anna Lee Stangl with Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “The Nicaraguan government's efforts to restrict the entry of Bibles, other books, newspapers and magazines into the country are highly concerning given the current context of repression. We call on the government of Nicaragua to lift this ban immediately.” The country is ranked 30th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian. Chile elects conservative, pro-life president Chile elected José Antonio Kast, a conservative former lawmaker, as their president on Sunday, reports NBC News. He won 58 percent of the vote, defeating communist rival Jeanette Jara. Kast is a practicing Catholic, the father of nine children, and a pro-life activist. He said in his victory speech, “But nothing would be possible if we didn't have God. And that's something we can't fail to acknowledge.” He added a prayer for “wisdom, temperance, and strength” in the challenges ahead. Kast campaigned on dealing with growing crime and illegal migration into the South American country, primarily from Venezuela. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” America seized a Venezuelan oil tanker related to terrorism The United States seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela last week. It's the first time the U.S. has seized Venezuelan oil since imposing sanctions on the South American country in 2019. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X, “For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations.” U.S. oil production hits historic level The U.S. oil and natural gas industry set production records last month, reports The Center Square. Crude oil output reached about 5.9 million barrels per day, the highest ever recorded in U.S. history. Texas led the production of crude oil and natural gas. So far this year, the Lone Star state's production increased by 5.8 percent despite operating 20 percent fewer rigs. Two Texas cities outlawed abortion Two Texas cities outlawed abortion last week. The City of Springlake, Texas became the 90th city in the nation to pass a Sanctuary City for the Unborn Ordinance last Thursday. And the city council of Tira, Texas became the 91st city to pass such an ordinance on Sunday. Both ordinances passed unanimously. Tira Mayor Allen Joslin and his wife, Councilwoman Tami Joslin, shared, “We believe this to be the most important item that has come across our forum to vote on, which truly empowers the residents of the Tira community in the battle to protect the unborn.” 60 percent of Americans identify as Christian Pew Research released a new survey on religion in America. The study found that the religious composition of U.S. adults has remained steady over the past five years. During that time, over 60 percent of Americans consistently said they identify as Christians. Previously, affiliation with Christianity was declining, but it appears to be plateauing now. The study did not find a widespread resurgence of religiosity among young people. Indiana quarterback gives glory to God And finally, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday. He's the first Indiana Hoosier to take home college football's top individual award. Mendoza led the Hoosiers through an undefeated season. They won their first Big Ten Championship since 1967 and become the number one ranked team for the first time. Listen to comments from Mendoza after winning the Heisman Trophy. MENDOZA: “I'm at a loss of words. Wow! I mean. Thank you. Thank you to everybody. First, I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to chase a dream that once felt the world away. Standing here tonight, holding this, holding this bad boy, representing Indiana University, still doesn't feel real.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 17th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

In 1930, the World Cup didn't feel inevitable. It felt impossible. Thirteen teams. Weeks-long sea voyages. Political tension. Skepticism from Europe. And a small South American nation determined to prove football belonged to the world. In this episode of Atlanta Soccer Flashback, we travel back to Uruguay 1930 — the first World Cup — and explore how Jules Rimet's dream became reality, how Uruguay rose to the moment as a nation, how teams crossed oceans to compete, and how the United States quietly became one of the best teams in the world. From chaotic group stages and unforgettable travel stories to the volcanic rivalry of Uruguay vs Argentina in the final, this is the story of the moment the world truly met the World Cup — and why its legacy still shapes the game today.
The U.S. dairy industry is experiencing lower-than-usual commodity cheese prices, but Kim Heiman of Nasonville Dairy in Marshfield is betting on long-term growth driven by consumer demand for protein and significant industry investment. Higher-than-average temperatures mid-week may bring some precipitation, only to freeze later, says ag meteorologist Stu Muck. Grace Atherton with the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association emphasizes that pasteurization effectively inactivates the bird flu virus, ensuring that commercially sold milk and cheese remain safe for consumption. Dairy processors are prioritizing food and employee safety with strict procedures. The Farmer Bridge Assistance Program has a deadline this week. Richard Fordyce, USDA Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation, says the first thing farmers need to do is submit an acreage report by Dec. 19. Market advisor John Heinberg discussed the minimal market reaction to Wisconsin's first dairy cattle bird flu case, while noting that grain markets are entering a seasonal window that typically offers price support and rally opportunities for corn and soybean farmers. He emphasized that current rallies should be used to protect against downward pressure ahead of the South American crop forecast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caz Graham talks to the President of the Irish Farmers Association, Francie Gorman, about the journey he's embarking upon from Dublin to Brussels by tractor as part of a Europe wide protest. Farmers are concerned about Common Agricultural Policy reforms, which could see the budget ringfenced for farm subsidies cut by around 20%. They're also angry about the potential impact of a trade deal between the EU and the South American bloc MERCOSUR, which could mean an increase in beef from Brazil and other cheap imports. An environmental group in Northern Ireland plans to demonstrate the benefits of nature friendly farming on a 90-acre hillside farm it's recently bought in County Fermanagh. The Ulster Wildlife Trust says the new Fedian Nature Reserve is a rare example of farmland largely free of chemical or fertiliser inputs.Traditional rural buildings are rich with history and a unique record of how farming and country life has changed over the centuries. But many are under threat; they're expensive to maintain and often not practical for modern use. Throughout this week we're going to be hearing about efforts to preserve them, and we start in Nottinghamshire where an old farmstead has been repurposed as The Walks of Life Museum in Tuxford.

John welcomes retired four-star U.S. Army General Barry McCaffrey to discuss the rapidly escalating conflict between America and Venezuela. McAffrey argues that Donald Trump appears to be hellbent on regime change in Venezuela; that his stated motivations related to narco-terrorism make virtually no sense at all; and that his primary motivations instead revolve primarily around seizing the South American country's oil reserves. McCaffrey also assesses the recently unveiled official U.S. National Security Strategy, the elements of which he regards as ranging from incoherent to farcical to flat out “horrifying.” See all the ways bp is investing in America at bp.com/InvestingInAmerica .

This week! Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined by lead producer of Koboa and new game Beasts - Adrián Mejía! Adrián shares how a childhood trip to Brazil and the moment he first saw Super Mario Bros. 3 ignited his love of imaginative worlds, later deepened by discovering the TTRPG Nephilim. He dives into the South American inspirations that shaped Koboa, the careful research and cultural grounding behind its lore, and the determination to challenge stereotypes by creating a space where South American players feel truly welcome. We also explore his new game Beasts, which made Jeremy's teenage heart grow three sizes. Expect themes of dehumanisation, the weight of an unwinnable war, what remains of you afterward, and a clear thread of Animorphs-style intensity. The episode wraps with Adrián's Tale From The Table, plus a little insight into future episodes...Adrián will be returning to run Beasts, so stay tuned, Halflings!

‘Our fight for freedom is a fight for peace, and an act of love'Lucy Hockings speaks to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado about the fight for democracy in the South American country. She's been in hiding since last year's presidential election in Venezuela, when incumbent Nicolás Maduro declared victory in a contest that was widely dismissed on the international stage as rigged, sparking widespread protests.Around 2,000 people were arrested in the crackdown which followed, among them many members of her opposition coalition. Machado, who had managed to unite the bitterly divided opposition ahead of the election, went into hiding for fear of arrest. She has however continued to give interviews and uploaded videos to social media urging her followers not to give up.The Nobel Institute awarded Machado the 2025 Peace prize for “her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" in Venezuela. She defied a travel ban to reach Oslo, with Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes describing her journey as "a situation of extreme danger".

In this episode of The Midweek Takeaway, Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby sit down with Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, to unpack the company's transformative acquisition of the Parreira Vale gold project in Brazil. Cattaneo discusses the strategic partnership with Appian Capital, the geological upside of an oxide-rich system with only 10% of the ground drilled, and Ajax's plan to deliver a maiden JORC resource through a phased exploration program. The conversation widens into Ajax's fast-growing South American portfolio, its focus on past-producing assets, funding strategy, drilling timelines, and how the company aims to evolve from opportunistic acquisitions into a near-term producer.

Growing food as medicine, wildcrafting, teaching decolonial herbalism and making small batches of medicine for her community became a dream come true.Since 2017 Constanza has been offering multiple herbalism apprenticeships a year and continues to deepen her relationship with the Tahamie Lands via regenerative agriculture, seed saving, soil microbiology, and biodynamic ways of medicine-making.Constanza teaches herbalism workshops in South America, in New England, and online through the Gaia School of Healing & Earth Education.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 49! Vroooommmm!!! We're exploring the story of Asian Pacific Islanders in Formula 1… and this is something we actually know a bit about. This is a sport long dominated by Europeans and a handful of South Americans, but there has been a small group of drivers of Asian Pacific descent who have made an impact in recent years. We'll share a little about F1 racing in general as well as when API began making their mark in the sport. In addition to recent drivers like Alex Albon (our favorite), Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu, and now Arvid Lindblad, we'll also talk about a few engineers, leaders, and teams that have prominent Asian representation. In our recurring segment, we'll share what we're listening to. For Ted, it's the audiobook of Babel by R.F. Kuang. It's narrated by Chris Lew Kum Hoi and Billie Fulford-Brown. For Gen, it's the music of Sarah Kinsley… specifically the song Fleeting. If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Mo Salah's explosive post-match interview has rocked Liverpool, and Hayden & Neel break down what he said, why it landed so hard, and how it affects Arne Slot, the dressing room, Salah's future (Saudi?), and even the Xabi Alonso question lingering in the background. We then zoom out to a chaotic Premier League race for Europe and focus on what teams can actually do to get there: consistency, tactical flexibility, smarter use of squads, and the coaching tweaks that can swing a season. Finally, we head to MLS where Messi leads Inter Miami to the title after a dominant season. How did Inter Miami balance their squad to win despite the label of Messi and friends? Plus, what MLS's calendar and spending changes mean ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

19 Minutes PodcastThis week's market outlook looks at where traders have yield expectations priced in ahead of the upcoming report, why soybean demand signals from China still are not fully showing up in the data, and how corn export strength is shaping early pricing opportunities. We cover the current cash trends, the widening basis swings across the eastern Corn Belt, and how local ethanol demand is creating pockets of stronger bids. The update also digs into South American weather and production, how global supply shifts impact both corn and soybean price potential, and why producers should watch early 2026 opportunities while making 2025 decisions. We finish with a discussion on cost of production, the impact of sticky overhead costs, and why now is the time to finalize marketing plans heading into the new year.
It's the Ranch It Up Radio Show Herd It Here Weekly Report! A 3-minute look at cattle markets, reports, news info, or anything that has to do with those of us who live at the end of dirt roads. Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' by subscribing on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Beef Prices Are Still A Bargain & Cattle Prices Are Not Too High Beef consumption in the U.S. is still climbing, even as the nation's cattle herd shrinks due to low prices, drought, and market instability. Recent border closures to Mexican cattle over New World Screwworm concerns, and former tariffs on Brazilian beef, helped drive both cattle and beef prices to unusually strong levels. President Trump has pledged to bring beef prices down. In the past six weeks, his administration has removed tariffs on South American food products, reversed the Brazilian beef tariffs, and moved to sharply increase Argentinian beef allowed under tariff quotas. The result: the fastest and steepest drop in feeder cattle futures ever recorded. But consumers haven't seen lower prices at the meat counter. Even with cattle prices falling about 20 percent from their highs, boxed beef prices actually climbed through October and have only recently leveled off—moving in the opposite direction of what the White House intended.

Economic Signals from Europe: Falling Energy, Rising Copper, Data Center Demand — Simon Constable — Constable reports from southern France that global economic indicators remain mixed: European energy prices have declined due to weak industrial demand signaling economic sluggishness, while copper prices surge driven by "green transition" infrastructure development and energy-intensive AI data center construction. Constable documents that copper demand is projected to increase sixfold by 2050, creating critical supply gaps and incentivizing dangerous copper wire theft from derelict properties, while China controls limited domestic production but maintains substantial contract claims on South American reserves rendering supply chains geopolitically vulnerable. 1954

John Perkins, activist and author of the bestselling Confessions of An Economic Hitman series, has a most lively and enjoyable chat with James about: how he helped The Powers That Be pillage and destroy sundry South American economies; what made him realise that this wasn't a good way to earn a lucrative, rock-star-type living; how he has made amends since; why he hasn't been bumped off (apart from the time when he almost was…); what it's really like in the remote Amazon; how he became a shaman…. https://johnperkins.org ↓ ↓ ↓ Tickets are now available for the James x Dick Christmas Special on Saturday, 6th December 2025.

Trump names ‘difficult problem' for Ukraine “The corruption situation going on is not helpful,” the US president has said Corruption remains one of Ukraine's main problems, Trump added that both Russia and Ukraine would like the conflict to end, and that “there's a good chance we can make a deal.”Ukraine was rocked by a major corruption scandal last month involving figures in Vladimir Zelensky's inner circle. The country's Western-backed anti-corruption agencies alleged that Timbur Mindich, the Ukrainian leader's former longtime business partner, was the ringleader of a $100 million kickback scheme in the energy sector, which relies heavily on foreign aid. Mindich fled the country to evade arrest, apparently after being tipped off.

Zelenskyy's visit to Paris followed a meeting between Ukrainian and U.S. officials in Florida on Sunday, which Secretary of State Marco Rubio described as productive. The two sides have worked to make revisions to a proposed U.S.-authored plan that was developed in negotiations between Washington and Moscow but criticized as being too weighted toward Russian demands.

Their absence should come as no surprise to anyone paying attention. These are not neutral judges, they are political operatives wielding federal robes as weapons against the will of the American people. In a statement shared on X, investigative commentator Mike Benz laid out three specific criminal charges that Attorney General Pam Bondi could immediately bring against Judge Boasberg in connection to the Arctic Frost scandal. 1. Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (18 U.S.C. § 242):The prosecution alleges that by issuing the gag order, Judge Boasberg willfully deprived U.S. senators of their statutory right under 2 U.S.C. § 6628 to receive notification of legal processes seeking disclosure of Senate data, thereby violating their constitutional protections under the Speech or Debate Clause and separation of powers principles.

This week, President Donald Trump told reporters that he would be willing to hold talks with Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro. His statements came as the Navy's largest aircraft carrier arrived in the Caribbean Sea. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has conducted weeks of attacks on alleged drug boats off the coast of the South American country. But these drug trafficking allegations might just be a distraction from the real focus of Trump's Venezuela ire. Over the weekend, Politico published a piece alleging that White House officials have begun planning for a “post-Maduro” Venezuela, including different options for countries to exile him to. To talk more about Venezuela, regime change, and the perils of war in South America, we spoke with Juan Sebastian Gonzalez, former National Security Council Senior Director for the Western Hemisphere under President Joe Biden.And in headlines, President Trump is meeting with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince at the White House, the United Nations Security Council approves Trump's plan for the future of Gaza, and the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey may be faltering.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
