Trump is now literally taking a huge swath of Venezuela's oil. As someone who has spent much of my career covering wars for oil I'm sitting here shocked. He did it without waging a full scale war, esp compared to Iraq, for example. I'm writing about this now, but also sharing just how stunned I am.

Israel seizes UN facility in East Jerusalem and vows to close it down
Staff at a training centre run by UNRWA - the UN agency which supports Palestinian refugees - were ordered to leave by Israeli police.
By Adam Parsons, Middle East Correspondent
• Tuesday 25 August 2026 20:32, UKIsraeli authorities have sparked another confrontation with the United Nations after seizing a UN facility in East Jerusalem and promising to close it down permanently.
Police entered a training centre run by UNRWA, the agency that supports Palestinian refugees, ordering the staff to leave and take control of the facility, known as the Qalandiya training centre.
They were accompanied by far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who echoed long-standing criticism of the agency. The Israeli government claims that UNRWA had become
"riddled" with Hamas members, some of whom took part in the October 7 attacks.
Ben-Gvir was filmed sitting behind a desk he said was used previously by the training centre director. "UNRWA is out," he said. "The terrorists must be expelled from every place in the State of Israel."
