News Alert: US goes after ‘dictator’

The Treasury Department slapped sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, sending a clear signal of the Trump administration's opposition to his regime.

The move comes a day after Maduro declared a sweeping victory in a vote that will allow him to further consolidate his power in the crisis-torn nation.

"Yesterday's illegitimate elections confirm that Maduro is a dictator who disregards the will of the Venezuelan people," said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in a statement.

Venezuela's attorney general lambasted the election, which established a new legislative body made up entirely of Maduro's supporters.

"This is the end of freedom of expression," Attorney General Luisa Ortega said.

News Alert: Scaramucci out

Anthony Scaramucci is out as President Trump’s communications director, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

The White House statement read: “Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director. Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best."

It's the latest high-profile departure from the Trump White House.

Chief of Staff Reince Priebus resigned at the end of last week, replaced by John Kelly, who was sworn in this morning. A White House official said Kelly wanted Scaramucci removed from his new role because he did not think he was disciplined and had burned his credibility.

Scaramucci, a colorful and controversial figure, was brought on July 21 during the latest in a long list of White House shake-ups that have rocked the presidency with a sense of chaos.

Sanctions, elections, escapes and outages

Russia ... Venezuela ... Australia ... Alabama Monday, July 31, 2017 View this email in your browser The day the sun disappears (for a short time) is fast approaching. Here's what else you need to know today to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door. By Doug Criss. 1. Russia sanctions Vladimir Putin's kicking out hundreds of American diplomats from Russia in response to the sanctions bill that Congress passed last week. Seven hundred and fifty-five people will have to leave by September 1. That will leave 455 people, which matches the number of Russian diplomats currently in the US. President Trump has indicated that he'll sign the sanctions bill, which passed both houses of Congress by overwhelming (and veto-proof) numbers. 2. Venezuela Venezuela's President says there was a huge turnout for the controversial election to pick a new national assembly. There were huge protests throughout the country too. President Nicolas Maduro said eight million people -- that's about 40 percent of the country's registered voters -- cast ballots for the new assembly, which would have the power to rewrite Venezuela's constitution. All members of the assembly would be nominated by his administration, so the opposition there thinks this is just one big power grab by Maduro. On the streets, at least six people died in violent clashes between protesters and police. More protests are set to begin today at noon.  At least 125 people have died in the ongoing unrest since April. Also over the weekend, one of the candidates in the election, a lawyer, was shot dead in his home, and an opposition leader also died. 3. Australia terror plot Police in Sydney conducted raids today after four men were arrested over the weekend, accused of plotting to bring down a plane. Authorities said the men planned to use an "improvised device"  in the attack but wouldn't provide any further details. Exra security measures have been put in place in Australian airports since the terror plot was thwarted. 4. Alabama jail escapees There was a big escape from a county jail in Alabama. Twelve prisoners broke out of the Walker County Jail, but authorities haven't said when or how. Ten of the men have since been recaptured, leaving two others still on the run. Police in the city of Jasper, Alabama, have asked people living downtown to stay indoors and turn on all of their outdoor lights.  5. Outer Banks outages Thousands of tourists had their vacations cut short after a power outage hit two islands in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Power on Ocracoke and Hatteras islands was lost late last week after a transmission line was cut during construction work on a bridge. It's not clear how long it'll take to fix the problem, so people have been ordered to leave. Crews are working on two possible solutions: building a new overhead transmission line or dig down to the damaged cables and splice them back together. 22,000 The number of music fans evacuated from the Tomorrowland festival in Barcelona, Spain, after the stage caught on fire.
