Paloma Valencia será la candidata de Centro Democrático. Me parece que era la mejor opción para el partido, es alguien que puede llegar a acuerdos con otros sectores. Ahora, a ver si puede despegar en las encuestas para hacer competencia a De la Espriella.

Now with the same productivity as the US, “core EU” also has more leisure time, higher life expectancy, less inequality

No matter how you look at it, it is a clearly superior economic performance

Good to work together, but… we, Europe, may need a plan for decoupling from America (to be resilient and build on our strenghts and interests).

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

A new report from inside CECOT details the torture, sexual abuse, and cut off from lawyers that inmates suffer.

The Trump Administration pays El Salvador to hold migrants who've often been sent there without due process.

Your tax dollars are being used to finance torture. https://bit.ly/4pcyu1n

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.
