US President Trump confirmed overnight military strikes in Venezuela, announcing the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna criticized the action as a "war of choice" for regime change, arguing it betrays the MAGA base and distracts from domestic issues. Khanna drew parallels to potential actions by China or Russia, urging a movement against high defense budgets and advocating for investment in American jobs and social services. Trump, however, praised the military operation as professional and amazing.
