Today on the LOOPcast: Trump issues a stunning ultimatum to Maduro and declares Venezuela’s airspace “closed,” escalating a decades-long standoff now backed by U.S. warships, CIA ops, and rising talk of military action. Then we break down the D.C. ambush where an Afghan migrant—once vetted and brought here as a U.S. ally—opened fire on National Guardsmen just blocks from the White House. Plus: good-news medicine, Pope Leo’s historic trip through Turkey and Lebanon!
