VENEZUELA EARTHQUAKES — LEAD
Back-to-back quakes — a 7.2 followed 39 seconds later by a 7.5, the strongest to hit Venezuela in over a century — struck Wednesday evening near the towns of San Felipe and Yumare, collapsing buildings across Caracas. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said at least 32 people were killed and more than 700 injured, with the toll expected to climb — those numbers don't even include the hard-hit coastal state of La Guaira, which Rodríguez called a "disaster zone." Trump posted he'd instructed agencies to "get ready to move quickly," and Secretary of State Rubio said the U.S. is deploying search-and-rescue teams, medical resources and humanitarian aid. USGS early modeling estimates economic losses between $10 billion and $100 billion. No tsunami threat. NBC News + 2
SENATE FLIPS ON IRAN WAR POWERS
Whiplash on Capitol Hill: a day after the Senate passed a symbolic resolution to curb Trump's Iran war powers 50-48, a follow-up procedural motion on a similar measure failed 50-47 Wednesday night, with Republicans Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski breaking with the GOP while Rand Paul voted present. Two Republicans who'd previously voted to rein in Trump — Bill Cassidy and Rand Paul — switched after a briefing from VP Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff earlier in the day. The shift came after a Senate GOP lunch with Trump reportedly devolved into a shouting match over Iran. CBS News + 2
NEW YORK PRIMARIES — MAMDANI'S SLATE SWEEPS
All three congressional candidates endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries, including two who ousted Democratic incumbents — Darializa Avila Chevalier over longtime Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and Brad Lander over Rep. Dan Goldman. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who'd campaigned against Mamdani's picks, downplayed the result, saying a "handful of primaries" won't reshape House Democrats. NY AG Letitia James said she's "disappointed" in Mamdani's approach. NPRAl Jazeera
