The world mourns as The Aga Khan, spiritual leader, philanthropist, and advocate for peace and tolerance, has passed away at the age of 88. Known for his dedication to humanitarian causes and efforts to promote education and development, The Aga Khan, who led the Shia Ismaili Muslim community for over six decades, leaves behind a legacy of compassion and service.

The Aga Khan's impact extended far beyond his spiritual role as he founded the Aga Khan Development Network, a global organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in impoverished communities through initiatives in healthcare, education, and economic development.
As tributes pour in from around the globe, The Aga Khan's death marks the end of an era for the Ismaili Muslim community and the world at large. His teachings of compassion, peace, and unity will continue to inspire generations to come.

Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes made a visit to Capitol Hill this week, as he continues to fight legal battles surrounding his involvement in the January 6th insurrection. Rhodes, known for his far-right extremist views, has been at the center of ongoing investigations into the events of that day.
Despite facing legal challenges, a judge recently lifted restrictions that had barred Rhodes from entering the District of Columbia, allowing him to freely move about the Capitol once again. This decision has sparked outrage among those who believe he played a significant role in inciting violence that led to the storming of the Capitol.
Rhodes, who founded the Oath Keepers as a group of current and former military, police, and first responders who pledge to defend the Constitution, has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks. Critics argue that his actions on January 6th, where he was reportedly seen directing members of the group around the Capitol complex, go against the oath he claims to uphold.
As the legal battle continues to unfold, many are closely watching Rhodes and the Oath Keepers, questioning their role in the events of January 6th and their continued presence in the political landscape.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Machado has been detained by the authoritarian regime in Venezuela as they continue to crack down on political dissent. Machado, a prominent critic of President Maduro's government, was taken into custody following increased tensions between the opposition and the ruling party.
This latest move comes after Machado's urgent message to President-elect Donald Trump, calling for support in the fight against Maduro's regime.
