8. According to government documents, the VA “abruptly and instantly terminated” its agreement with ICE on October 3. That cancellation, according to the documents, left ICE with “no mechanism to provide prescribed medication” and unable to “pay for medically necessary off-site care.”

Trump has claimed “the leaker” has been jailed, seemingly referring to a group of wallets that made large profits from Polymarket bets with apparent advance knowledge of US military action against Venezuela. One such wallet profited around $410,000.
In prediction markets After the US military kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, observers were quick to notice that several Polymarket accounts had all placed large bets on a market pertaining to whether Maduro would be removed from power by the end of January, and other Venezuela-related markets. One account began placing bets in late December, and continued to add thousands of dollars to its positions right up to the day Maduro’s capture was announced, ultimately purchasing $32,000 in shares. The trader profited $410,000 when their predictions came to pass, leading many to believe they had access to inside information.29 Table of closed Polymarket bets Maduro out by January 31, 2026? 436,759.6 Yes at 7¢ Total bet $32,537.28 Amount won $436,759.61 $404,222.33 (1,242.34%) Trump invokes War Powers against Venezuela by January 31? 5,371.7 Yes at 5¢ Total bet $249.99 Amount won $2,714.64 $2,464.65 (985.91%) Market icon Will the U.S. invade Venezuela by January 31, 2026? 17,857.9 Yes at 6¢ Total bet $999.99 Amount won $3,143.26 $2,143.27 (214.33%) US forces in Venezuela by January 31, 2026? 1,197.8 Yes at 12¢ Total bet $146.00 Amount won $1,197.77 $1,051.78 (720.4%) Days later, Representative Ritchie Torres (D-NY) introduced a bill seeking to prohibit elected officials and other politicians and staff from participating in prediction markets connected to “government policy, government action, or political outcomes” when they possess or could obtain inside information.30 30. “In Response to Suspicious Polymarket Trade Preceding Maduro Operation, Rep. Ritchie Torres Introduces Legislation to Crack Down on Insider Trading on Prediction Markets”, Ritchie Torres. Then, on January 14, Trump said in a press conference that “The leaker [on Venezuela] has been found and is in jail right now” and would likely face a long sentence. He also noted that “there could be some others”.31 The identity of the leaker, how they gained access to sensitive information, and whether they were also the person who placed the bet has not been disclosed, nor has the charge on which they’ve been jailed.

A "full halo" CME was seen in coronagraph images. When we see this, it means a CME is coming at Earth. Coronagraphs onboard satellites create an artifical eclipse in space to block sunlight, allowing us to see the solar wind and CMEs launching off the Sun.
