Venezuelans in the US are torn between joy and worry after ousting of Maduro

January 11, 2026

For thousands of Venezuelans living in the U.S., the days since the Trump administration ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro have brought a mixture of joy and trepidation. The removal of Maduro is “a first step, but we’re nervous,” said Alejandra Salima, who fled to the U.S. three years ago and assists other Venezuelans at the Miami office of an advocacy group. She and most others are thrilled that Maduro has been removed. But Trump’s move to deport Venezuelans without permanent residency has increased worry among many living in the U.S. At the same time, the fear instilled by the government Maduro left behind makes many wary of returning.

Mattel adds an autistic Barbie to doll line devoted to showcasing diversity and inclusion

January 11, 2026

An autistic Barbie is joining Mattel’s line of fashion dolls that’s intended to celebrate diversity. The toymaker says it developed the new Barbie in partnership with a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights and better media representation of autistic people. A staff member with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network who worked on the prototype says creating the Barbie was a challenge because autism encompasses a broad range of behaviors and varies widely in degree. The doll that goes on sale on Monday has eyes shifted slightly to the side to avoid direct eye contact. It also has articulated elbows and wrists to acknowledge the gestures some autistic people use to process sensory information.

Trevor Lawrence has to ‘live with’ costly turnovers in Jaguars’ playoff loss to Bills

January 11, 2026

It’s hard to blame Jacksonville coach Liam Coen for relying on quarterback Trevor Lawrence against Buffalo. Lawrence pretty much carried the Jaguars to the playoffs. But Lawrence looked little like the AFC player of the month for December and January in a 27-24 loss to the Bills that ended one of the franchise’s most surprising seasons. Lawrence threw two interceptions, including one on the final possession, and turned the ball over on downs early in the second quarter when his shin touched the ground on a fourth-and-2 run deep in Buffalo territory. He says “you’ve got to live with it. It’s life.”

January 11, 2026

References to President Donald Trump’s two impeachments have been removed from his photo portrait display at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington.

Avalanche run their home winning streak to 17 games, one away from matching franchise record

January 11, 2026

The Colorado Avalanche are riding a hot streak at home by winning 17 straight games at Ball Arena since losing in a shootout to Carolina in late October. They have a chance to tie their team record Monday night against Toronto. Playing at high elevation and in front of a loud crowd might be factors, but standout defenseman Cale Makar joked the the success is simply not talking about it. Colorado has the sixth-longest home win streak in NHL history and has yet to lose at Ball Arena in regulation this season.

Minnesota Democrats are demanding a broader investigation into Renee Good’s shooting

January 11, 2026

Two of Minnesota’s leading Democrats say the investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer shouldn’t be handled solely by the federal government. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and U.S. Sen. Tina Smith said in separate interviews Sunday that state investigators need to be included in the investigation. Both say a broader investigation is needed because the Trump administration already has made it clear that they believe the officer who shot Renee Good in her car was protecting himself and fellow agents. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is dismissing the complaints about local agencies being denied any participation in the investigation.

January 11, 2026

There’s another warning from President Donald Trump to Cuba in the wake of Nicolás Maduro’s ouster in Venezuela. Cuba is a close ally of Venezuela and a major beneficiary of oil shipments from Venezuela. But Cuba has been cut off from shipments as U.S. forces seize tankers in an effort to control the production, refining and global distribution of Venezuela’s oil products. Trump used a social media post Sunday to urge Cuba to make a deal before, as he put it, “IT IS TOO LATE.” He didn’t explain what kind of deal. Cuba has long been kept economically afloat by Venezuela.

Husband charged in double homicide after having affair with au pair is going on trial in Virginia

January 11, 2026

A Virginia man who had a relationship with a Brazilian au pair is going on trial in the killings of his wife and another man. Brendan Banfield is charged with aggravated murder in the February 2023 killings of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan at a home in northern Virginia. Prosecutors argue the killings stem from a catfishing scheme in which Banfield lured Ryan to the house and staged it to look like he and the family’s au pair shot a predator in defense. Not all officials investigating the case believe Banfield catfished Ryan. Banfield’s attorney says that officials are searching for evidence to fit their theory of the elaborate scheme.

January 11, 2026

The next U.S. census is four years away, but two lawsuits playing out this year could affect how the head count will be done and who’ll be counted. Allies of President Donald Trump are behind the lawsuits challenging various aspects of the once-a-decade count by the U.S. Census Bureau that’s used to determine congressional representation and federal aid to states. The lawsuits align with parts of Trump’s agenda, even as his administration must defend the Census Bureau and its methods in court. Democratic-aligned groups are trying to intervene because of concerns over whether the Justice Department will defend the bureau vigorously.

Transgender teen athlete in a Supreme Court fight knows the upcoming sports season could be her last

January 11, 2026

Becky Pepper-Jackson is a 15-year-old in West Virginia who knows the upcoming sports season could be her last. West Virginia has banned transgender girls like the discus-throwing sophomore from competing in girls and women’s sports. The state is among more than two dozen with similar laws. Lower courts have blocked the West Virginia law, but the outcome could be different at the conservative-dominated Supreme Court. The justices have allowed multiple restrictions on transgender people to be enforced in the past year. The justices are hearing arguments Tuesday. President Donald Trump’s Republican administration has targeted transgender Americans.
