Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Pablo Guanipa was released on Sunday after more than eight months in prison, he said in a video posted on social media.

Guanipa, one of the closest allies of opposition powerhouse María Corina Machado, had been held at a detention facility in the capital, Caracas.

"Today, we are being released," Guanipa said in a video posted on X. "Much to discuss about the present and future of Venezuela, always with the truth at the forefront."

He was detained in late May and accused by Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello of participating in an alleged "terrorist group" plotting to boycott that month's legislative election. Guanipa's brother...More

Eddie Bauer said Monday that it has declared bankruptcy — the third time the 106-year-old outdoor apparel retailer has filed for Chapter 11 protection from its debts.

The Bellevue, Washington-based company, which operates roughly 180 stores across the U.S. and Canada, said its retail locations will continue serving customers as the company starts winding down some stores. Its e-commerce and wholesale operations are not affected by the filing because they are operated separately.

The bankruptcy doesn't affect Eddie Bauer stores in markets outside the U.S. and Canada.

"This is not an easy decision," Marc Rosen, CEO of Catalyst Brands, which holds the license to operate Eddie Bauer stores in the U.S. and Canada, said in a statement. "However, this restructuring is the best way to optimize value for the retail company's stakeholders and also ensure Catalyst Brands remains profitable and...More

The Italian hospital where she's being treated released a statement Sunday saying Vonn suffered a fractured leg in "a nasty fall" during her women's downhill race in Cortina.

She "was treated by staff from the Regional Olympic Medical Service and immediately airlifted to the Codivilla Polyclinic,...More

Brad Arnold, the founder and lead singer of the 3 Doors Down, has died following "his courageous battle with cancer," the rock band announced Saturday on social media. He was 47.

"With his beloved wife Jennifer and his family by his side, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones," the band's statement read. "His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on."

Arnold announced in May 2025 in a video that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer, which forced 3 Doors Down to cancel its summer tour. Despite the grim diagnosis, the singer-songwriter said he had "no fear."

Bulgarian authorities said Sunday they found the bodies of three suspects wanted over a triple murder linked to an allegedly shady NGO which one prosecutor said was like something out of the iconic TV series "Twin Peaks."

The three -- two men and a 15-year-old boy -- were found Sunday, dead from gunshots, in a camping van close to Mount Okolchitsa, a peak in western part of the Balkan Mountains, national police chief Zahari Vaskov told a news conference.

Their bodies were discovered some 50 miles from a burnt-out mountain lodge where the triple murder was discovered a week ago, on February 2. The emergency call came from a shepherd who noticed a person apparently dead at the wheel, the Sofia News Agency reported.

The three men murdered in the lodge -- also by gunshot -- all belonged to an NGO called the National Protected Areas Control Agency...More

President Trump criticized Team USA freestyle skier Hunter Hess on Sunday, after Hess and other American athletes at the Milano Cortina Winter Games shared their thoughts on the political situation in the United States earlier in the week.

"U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn't represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics," Mr. Trump said in a social media post on Sunday. "If that's the case, he shouldn't have tried out for the Team, and it's too bad he's on it. Very hard to root for someone like this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

During a press conference on Wednesday, in response to a question about the current political situation in the U.S., Hess said his feelings about representing his country on the international stage were complicated.

"I think it brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little...More

President Trump reversed course on Saturday and appeared to endorse Nexstar Media Group's $6.2 billion purchase of its rival Tegna.

"We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks," the president said in a post on Truth Social, adding that "good deals" like Nexstar's purchase of Tegna will "help knock out the Fake News because there will be more competition."

"Those that are opposed don't fully understand how good the concept of this Deal is for them, but they will in the future. GET THAT DEAL DONE!" he wrote.

Nexstar's acquisition of Tegna, which was announced in August, requires regulatory approval. The deal would bring together two companies with significant holdings in local broadcast media, expanding Nexstar's reach in the U.S. television and local news landscape. Nexstar oversees more than 200 owned and partner stations in 116 markets...More
