This weekend’s events mark a historic turning point. For years, Maduro funded drug cartels, crushed dissent, and starved his own people. Now he faces accountability under U.S. law — and America’s position as the world’s beacon of freedom has never been clearer.

Venezuela’s future may still be uncertain, but one thing is certain: the United States showed the world that freedom matters, and that tyranny will not stand.
