January 2026: the raid, the tie, the medal
Jan 3: US forces seize Maduro and Cilia Flores. The Times reports Trump’s “run” Venezuela line and Maduro’s not-guilty plea. Cuba later says 32 of its people were killed. Venezuela’s minister says 47 soldiers were killed.
Jan 8: the Senate votes 52–47 to discharge S.J.Res.98. Jan 14: the measure dies 50–50, Vance breaking the tie. Jan 15: Machado gives Trump her Nobel medal. The prize stays hers.
Reuters, the same month, reports oil revenue headed for US-controlled accounts and Rubio’s three-step plan. Chevron’s license is being expanded. None of that is a Venezuelan election.
