As the Trump administration escalates its military campaign against Venezuela, we speak to Venezuelan journalist Andreína Chávez about the latest developments. Responding to the U.S. military's drone strikes on small boats and seizures of oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela, Chávez says U.S. claims of pursuing fentanyl traffickers lack evidence and are "pretext" for an attempt "to asphyxiate the Venezuelan economy" and wrest control of the country's state-owned oil reserves. In the face of U.S. aggression, says Chávez, "Venezuelan communes and Venezuelan popular organizations in general have responded to Trump's claims that he owns the Venezuelan oil with a very strong response, saying that they're going to defend sovereignty, that they're going to defend Venezuela's self-determination."

Starting in January, the Trump administration says it will garnish the wages of student loan borrowers who haven't been able to make their payments for at least nine months. "It's cruel and hostile to working people to turn the system on before we're sure that we can run it in a compliant manner," says Julia Barnard, higher education team lead at the Debt Collective and former student loan ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. To student debtors facing financial hardship, Barnard suggests "immediately [contesting] when they get a notice of wage seizure." She lays out what is at stake, options for those facing default, and more.

We speak to journalists Gideon Levy and Rami Khouri about President Trump's meeting Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump supported Israel's threats to launch new attacks on Iran and warned Hamas to disarm during the second stage of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement. Khouri, a Palestinian American journalist, called the meeting a "continuation of the American-Israeli drive, that's been going on for some years now, to reconfigure the Middle East … into a new colonial arrangement, whereby the U.S. and Israel dominate what goes on in the region." Levy, Israeli journalist for Haaretz, called the meeting an "embarrassment," noting that "Donald Trump presents himself as someone who promises the sky, who has no demands from Israel whatsoever."

Fresh off her interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on the mega-popular podcast, Cooper told The Hollywood Reporter that she had a truly terrible sit down with a male actor who was "just was giving nothing" in response to her questions.
"You could tell he was on a press run," she said. "I didn't want to blow his butt up, but I was like, ‘Bro, you don't want to be here. You aren't answering any of these questions. Someone put you in this chair you didn't even know.'"
