15.01.2026 โ‡ข The Day of the Insurrection Act Threat
โŒจMorning editorial focus consolidated around a second ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where a Venezuelan national allegedly attacked an agent with a shovel. By midday, as civil unrest intensified and protesters clashed with federal agents, President Trump shifted the narrative by threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell the violence, a move legacy outlets framed as a step toward martial law while conservative media prioritized the restoration of order.
In the afternoon, the executive branch further solidified power as Vice President Vance cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate to defeat a war powers resolution, granting the President unchecked military authority regarding Venezuela.
The evening was defined by a symbolic diplomatic event at the White House, where Venezuelan opposition leader Marรญa Corina Machado presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump. Simultaneously, the administration unveiled a 'Great Healthcare Plan' intended to replace the Affordable Care Act framework.
