MADURO ON TRIAL

His wife, Cilia Flores, is a co-defendant. Yesterday they were in court to argue that the U.S. is violating their constitutional rights by blocking the Venezuelan government from paying for their legal costs. More here from the AP.

OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum will mark 25 years since September 11 and 250 years since the founding of the country with “Our Flag Was Still There,” a new installation featuring American flags associated with 9/11 and the events that followed. Located in the Museum’s Foundation Hall, the installation pairs these historic flags with personal stories from first responders, veterans and everyday Americans. These include FDNY Captain Michael Dugan, who hung an American flag near Ground Zero on September 11, and Paramedic Antonio Suarez who assisted in the immediate emergency response efforts and recovered fragments of an American flag from the wreckage.
