This Honduran ex-president received $1M in campaign contributions from El Chapo via his brother, who is serving a life sentence, but he's rightwing and pro-U.S. so he gets pardoned but unknown persons are supposedly being murdered to stop drug flows.

Under current French rules, foreign retirees can scrap their private coverage and join the national health system — a move that has appealed to many US pensioners in recent years.
But lawmakers now want to halt this and impose a minimum contribution.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
