Speaking at an event tied to the Munich Security Conference on Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez criticized Trump's administration for actions against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, whom she called antidemocratic, while making the equator error. Venezuela mostly sits north of the equator, including Caracas, prompting critics like Megyn Kelly to share clips and maps that drew hundreds of mocking replies. Supporters like Mehdi Hasan brushed it off as nitpicking, while the gaffe highlighted scrutiny on Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez and Gretchen Whitmer at the Feb. 14-16 gathering focused on U.S. reliability amid global threats.

Full Summary

Reps. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, and Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, plan to force a House floor vote next week on their bipartisan resolution. The measure, introduced by Massie last June and cosponsored by Khanna, requires congressional approval before further U.S. military action against Iran under the 1973 War Powers Resolution. It comes amid a major Pentagon buildup, including two aircraft carrier strike groups, fighter jets, and warships, as tensions rise over Iran's nuclear program and reports of possible U.S. strikes. Both lawmakers stress diplomacy and Congress's constitutional role in declaring war, warning of risks to the 30,000-40,000 U.S. troops in the region.

Key Takeaway

As U.S. carrier groups steam toward the Middle East, two unlikely allies in Congress are racing to demand a vote on whether the president needs approval for any strikes on Iran.

His account is the second public testimony from a male survivor of sexual abuse, amid prior reports of systematic violence against hostages.

Guy Gilboa-Dalal froze as his naked body was groped by a Hamas guard, who then pressed a knife to his neck and rifle to his head, threatening death if he spoke. The 25-year-old endured this assault after 738 days in Gaza captivity.
