Sta agli atti della Corte internazionale di giustizia dal 5 aprile 2024. È la dichiarazione con cui la Colombia è intervenuta, ai sensi dell'articolo 63 dello Statuto, nella causa che il Sudafrica ha aperto contro Israele per genocidio a Gaza. Nel testo Bogotá scrive di volere "la sicurezza e, di fatto, l'esistenza stessa del popolo palestinese". Il 16 luglio l'ufficio del presidente eletto Abelardo de la Espriella ha annunciato che quel documento verrà ritirato. Lo dice così: la Colombia "riprenderà una posizione seria e responsabile sulla scena internazionale, anche all'interno del sistema delle Nazioni Unite". L'insediamento è fissato al 7 agosto. A Washington il ministro degli Esteri israeliano Gideon Sa'ar ha già incontrato il futuro omologo Omar Bula Escobar, e il conto è presto fatto: relazioni piene, visti aboliti, ambasciata a Gerusalemme. Sarebbe la nona, dopo Stati Uniti, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua Nuova Guinea, Paraguay, Fiji e Somaliland. Gustavo Petro, che quel documento lo aveva voluto, ha scritto del successore: "Chi sostiene il genocidio ne è complice". Tre giorni prima, il 13 luglio, il Dipartimento di Stato americano aveva annunciato una campagna per "disabilitare sistematicamente" la Corte penale internazionale. Prevede telefonate ai 125 Stati parte perché escano dallo Statuto di Roma, revoche di visti al personale, sanzioni a chi collabora. Corti diverse, metodo identico. Nessuno dei due atti discute una prova, una perizia, un fatto. Si lavora sull'elenco dei presenti. Giovedì Tina Marinari, di Amnesty International Italia, è stata ascoltata dal Comitato permanente sui diritti umani della Camera. Le espressioni di preoccupazione degli Stati sono ormai «un cinico alibi», ha detto, e la loro inazione rientra fra gli elementi del genocidio in corso. Restano due frasi scritte dallo stesso Stato a ventisette mesi di distanza. Nella prima c'era l'esistenza del popolo palestinese. Nella seconda c'è la parola "responsabile". #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

La Ventana PR — Episodio 59 Venezuela bajo tutela: terremotos, transición y el nuevo orden en el Caribe Invitado: Ronal Rodríguez, Observatorio de Venezuela (Universidad del Rosario) Publicación: 17 de julio de 2026 --- En este episodio conversamos con Ronal Rodríguez, vocero e investigador del Observatorio de Venezuela de la Facultad de Estudios Internacionales, Políticos y Urbanos de la Universidad del Rosario (Colombia), sobre el momento más convulso de la historia reciente venezolana: los terremotos del 24 de junio, la extracción de Nicolás Maduro por Estados Unidos el 3 de enero y el proceso político que se maneja, cada vez con menos disimulo, desde Washington. Lo que discutimos - La emergencia humanitaria tras el doble terremoto del 24 de junio: más de 4,700 fallecidos (cifra que podría duplicarse), el cierre de la fase de búsqueda y rescate, y la crisis de salud pública en La Guaira. - El aeropuerto Simón Bolívar bajo administración militar estadounidense: solo opera la pista presidencial, y el impacto económico supera al del colapso del viaducto Caracas–La Guaira en 2007 (que costó 3% del PIB). - La respuesta de Washington: comparaciones con Haití 2010, el rol de Marco Rubio como tutor de facto del gobierno de Delcy Rodríguez, y los desafortunados comentarios de Trump — un paralelo incómodo con su manejo del huracán María en Puerto Rico. - Los tres objetivos de EE.UU. en Venezuela: control geopolítico de la cuenca del Caribe, acceso a la riqueza petrolera y minera, y un gobierno cooperativo — que no necesariamente significa una democracia. - Las purgas dentro del chavismo: Padrino López, Tareck El Aissami y el caso clave de Alex Saab, la llave del sistema financiero oculto que conecta a Venezuela con Irán, Rusia y China. - Dos mujeres frente a frente: Delcy Rodríguez como presidenta encargada y María Corina Machado como líder indiscutible de la oposición. - ¿Hay transición?: elecciones sin fecha ni reglas, el reto de 8 millones de venezolanos en el exterior, el Manifiesto de Panamá y su eco histórico en el Plan de Barranquilla de 1931. - El petróleo: de 3.6 millones de barriles diarios antes de la revolución bolivariana a cerca de 1.2 millones hoy; una recuperación que requeriría más de $200,000 millones y hasta 40–50 años. - La dimensión colombiana: 2.84 millones de venezolanos en Colombia, el comercio bilateral que creció 182%, y lo que significa la elección de Abelardo de la Espriella para la relación con Caracas y Washington. En la introducción - El tutelaje de Washington confirmado: la nota del New York Times sobre la relación entre Marco Rubio y Delcy Rodríguez. - La Asamblea Nacional del 2015 y el parlamento chavista anuncian una agenda de trabajo conjunta a partir del 1 de agosto — posible inicio de la transición política. - Cómo apoyar a Venezuela: canales institucionales Cáritas (Iglesia Católica), Cruz Roja Venezolana. Recursos mencionados - Observatorio de Venezuela, Universidad del Rosario — investigaciones, libros y monitoreo de la relación colombo-venezolana. - Libro sobre los 10 años de la respuesta colombiana a la migración venezolana. - Episodio 57 de La Ventana PR: las elecciones en Colombia, con Andrés Agudelo. --- Suscríbete a nuestra lista de correos en laventanapr.substack.com

La visita del vicepresidente Restrepo y algunos de los ministros electos a Washington es una de las mejores noticias para la economía, pero les faltó abordar –de una vez– el tema del TLC

En esta emisión del 17 de julio de 2026, el informativo aborda la decisión del Consejo de Estado de suspender el decreto que eliminaba la prima especial de los congresistas, a pocos días de la instalación del nuevo Congreso, mientras se intensifica la disputa política por la presidencia del Senado.También incluye la posibilidad de que la posesión presidencial de Abelardo de la Espriella se realice fuera del Capitolio Nacional, la preocupación de los exportadores por la caída del dólar, la suspensión de la zona económica binacional entre Colombia y Venezuela, emergencias por incendios forestales en Boyacá, alertas climáticas en Córdoba y nuevos casos de secuestro en el Cauca.En el ámbito político, continúan las negociaciones entre partidos para definir las mesas directivas del Congreso, las tensiones entre el gobierno saliente y el entrante, la polémica por el viaje de Rodrigo Londoño (Timochenko) a España y las reacciones frente a la denuncia presentada contra el presidente electo. El noticiero también cubre deportes, cultura y entretenimiento, con la expectativa por la final del Mundial 2026 entre España y Argentina, el regreso de Franco Armani a Atlético Nacional, la actualidad del Tour de Francia, el regreso del histórico Concierto de Conciertos en Bogotá y los festivales culturales que se viven en distintas regiones del país.

This episode brings together two experts to discuss recent second-round presidential elections in Peru and Colombia: Jo-Marie Burt, a senior fellow at WOLA and professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government, and a leading expert on Peru; and Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli, WOLA's Director for the Andes, who maintains close contact with Colombian civil society. Both elections produced razor-thin margins, and both delivered victories to right-wing, populist candidates promising crackdowns on crime and a hard line against their political adversaries. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won the presidency on her fourth attempt, while in Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella narrowly defeated left-leaning Iván Cepeda. Burt describes Fujimori's ascent as the culmination of years spent consolidating control over Peru's key institutions, like Congress, the constitutional tribunal, and the attorney general's office. She characterizes Fujimori as "singularly motivated, singularly ambitious, and singularly ruthless," shaped by her upbringing under her father Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian government. Burt warns that Fujimori is driven by a desire for revenge against those who helped prosecute and imprison her father, including journalists like Gustavo Gorriti, human rights lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. She details a legislative landscape already tilted toward impunity—amnesty laws shielding police and military, and restrictions crippling NGOs' ability to represent victims. Burt argues Peru has drifted toward a hybrid or even authoritarian regime. Sánchez-Garzoli paints a tense picture in Colombia, where outgoing President Gustavo Petro has refused to recognize the election results, alleging fraud and foreign interference despite institutional findings to the contrary. She notes intervention by the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers. With the transition suspended and Petro calling supporters into the streets, while armed groups reposition, Sánchez-Garzoli warns of a real risk of political violence. She outlines de la Espriella's "iron fist" agenda: mega-prisons modeled on El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, reviving the controversial ESMAD riot police, and a "special urban defense bloc" that she fears could blur the line between state security and paramilitary activity, echoing Colombia's dark history. "Colombia can't return to the belief that problems can be solved through bullets," she says, paraphrasing Colombian human rights defender Leyner Palacios. The conversation explores the deeper social fractures driving these results: in Peru, divisions of race, class, and region between Lima and the neglected Andean provinces, alongside a "frozen" collective memory of the 1980s-90s internal armed conflict manipulated to smear the left as communist. In Colombia, urban-rural divides also shape perceptions of security and the peace process. Both guests anticipate closer alignment with Washington, though they distinguish ideological affinity from generous funding. Sánchez-Garzoli expects a "total reset" in U.S.-Colombia relations, possible joint operations, and migration cooperation including reports of a plan to facilitate deportations of Colombian asylum seekers. Burt notes U.S. concern over China's growing influence in Peru. Despite the grim outlook, both find grains of hope: in Peru, a tentative opposition alliance and a still-vibrant regional civil society; in Colombia, strong institutions, a diverse Congress, and a resilient press and civil society. The episode closes with a reflection that both presidents-elect, lacking strong bases, face the "Milei challenge" of governing without a coalition.

Tras la muerte de 17 migrantes mexicanos a manos del ICE, el gobierno de Sheinbaum anuncia que iniciará acciones penales contra la administración de Trump, pero ¿esto puede tener algún efecto en la legislación de Estados Unidos? En Noticias de América tratamos de dar respuesta a esta pregunta.  El asesinato de Lorenzo Salgado, un migrante mexicano de 52 años a manos del ICE, fue la gota que colmó el vaso en una lista que sumaba 16 mexicanos más muertos por el Servicio de Control Migratorio estadounidense. Estos casos han escalado la tensión entre México y Estados Unidos y el gobierno de Claudia Sheinbaum pasó de solicitar investigaciones y de enviar notas diplomáticas a emprender acciones penales contra el Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos. "La Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores va a presentar las denuncias ante el Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos", confirmaba Sheinbaum. ¿Pero qué supone este paso hacia adelante del gobierno mexicano? El jurista especializado en migración César García Hernández nos da más detalles: "Las leyes en Estados Unidos son muy claras y dicen que solamente un fiscal público puede iniciar el proceso penal. Entonces, no puede ser ni la víctima, ni los parientes de una víctima, ni menos un gobierno extranjero quienes puedan iniciar el proceso jurídico. El gobierno mexicano puede brindarle apoyo a las víctimas o a los familiares de las víctimas, pero no puede iniciar ese proceso penal". Leer tambiénEstados Unidos: Suspensión de los controles de carretera de ICE tras dos muertes por disparos Aunque Sheinbaum ha asegurado que esto no interferirá en las relaciones con Estados Unidos, en paralelo ha solicitado la intervención del alto comisionado para los derechos humanos de la ONU. Pero lamentablemente no hay ninguna ley que proteja a los migrantes de las balas, según César García Hernández: "El mexicano tiene una larga tradición de involucrar a los organismos internacionales, incluso a la ONU, en procedimientos jurídicos.

Al menos dos soldados murieron y cinco más resultaron heridos durante una operación del Ejército colombiano que permitió la liberación de 39 personas secuestradas por la guerrilla del ELN. A tres semanas de la toma de posesión del presidente electo, Abelardo de la Espriella, el episodio vuelve a poner en evidencia la capacidad de control territorial de los grupos armados y añade presión a la transición política. Entrevista con Francisco Daza, coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación. Guerrilleros del ELN secuestraron a 39 personas, entre ellas dos menores de edad, en una carretera de una zona rural del departamento del Chocó, en el noroeste de Colombia. Se trata de una región donde esta organización mantiene una fuerte presencia y obtiene financiación a través del narcotráfico y la minería ilegal. El hecho vuelve a situar la violencia en el centro de la transición política entre el presidente saliente, Gustavo Petro, y el presidente electo, Abelardo de la Espriella. La operación militar que permitió la liberación de los secuestrados dejó al menos dos soldados muertos y cinco heridos. Para Francisco Daza, coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación, el episodio refleja la capacidad de control territorial que mantiene el ELN en varias regiones del país. "El ELN tiene presencia territorial en 156 municipios de Colombia", explica Francisco Daza, coordinador de la Fundación Paz y Reconciliación. "Desde nuestra Fundación identificamos que el secuestro de 39 personas en el departamento de Chocó se dio en el marco de prácticas de control social y territorial por parte de ese grupo armado. El departamento de Chocó vive desde hace cuatro o cinco años un escenario de disputa armada entre el ELN y el Ejército Gaitanista de Colombia", agrega.  "El ELN no tiene ningún proceso de negociación activo en el marco de la Paz Total. Este proceso se suspendió luego de las confrontaciones que adelantó el ELN contra el Estado Mayor de los bloques y frentes presentes en el departamento de Norte de Santander, que derivaron en una crisis humanitaria que se ha extendido por más de un año", dice Daza. El Ejército de Liberación Nacional es hoy la principal guerrilla activa de Colombia. A diferencia de las antiguas FARC, funciona bajo una estructura regional sólida y, pese a los esfuerzos diplomáticos por alcanzar la paz, este episodio añade tensión a la compleja transición política que vive el país. "Los retos asociados a la seguridad están en función del panorama actual de presencia de grupos armados organizados y de su proliferación en los últimos años. A esto se suma la tecnificación de la guerra. Recientemente, durante el último año, los grupos armados han comenzado a utilizar drones cargados con explosivos", dice.  "Otro de los retos está relacionado con las recientes declaraciones del presidente electo, asociadas a que no va a continuar con el ecosistema de paz que se consolidó tras la firma del Acuerdo de Paz de 2016. El Estado siempre ha sido más reactivo que preventivo. Por ahí puede ir una de las soluciones para evitar, justamente, que se presenten hechos como este". Con el aumento de los ataques y su impacto directo sobre la población civil, el ELN vuelve a situarse en el centro de las preocupaciones del próximo gobierno colombiano.

À Cap-Haïtien, faute de stocks de poches de sang suffisants pour effectuer des transfusions, de nombreux patients ne peuvent être pris en charge et bien souvent décèdent. Le chef-lieu du département du Nord fait face, depuis plusieurs mois, à une grave pénurie de sang transfusionnel. Faute de matériels adéquats et de locaux appropriés, la Croix-Rouge du Cap-Haïtien se trouve dans l'incapacité de collecter et de conserver le sang dans de bonnes conditions. Elle ne dispose pas non plus de laboratoire. Les quelques poches de sang collectées doivent ainsi être envoyées dans la capitale pour être traitées et analysées, avant d'être retournées à la Croix-Rouge. Très souvent, elles ne reviennent jamais alors que les malades agonisent. Un dossier de Ronel Paul.   Le Cartel de Jalisco menace des gangs rivaux à Mexico Au Mexique, le Cartel de Jalisco Nouvelle Génération, l'une des organisations de narcotrafiquants les plus puissantes du pays, refait parler de lui. L'une de ses branches vient de diffuser une vidéo de propagande sur les réseaux sociaux. Elle y déclare la guerre à deux groupes criminels rivaux de la région de Mexico. Une vidéo publiée alors que le cartel a subi plusieurs revers ces derniers mois : la mort de son chef, El Mencho, tué dans une opération de l'armée mexicaine en février ; et la capture de son potentiel successeur, « le Jardinier », en avril. Explications, François-Damien Bourgery, du service International de RFI.   En Colombie, les effets de la réforme du travail La Colombie se prépare à investir son nouveau président, le millionnaire d'extrême droite, Abelardo de la Espriella élu en juin. Il prendra la place du gouvernement de gauche de Gustavo Petro, le 7 août 2026, qui laissera derrière lui une réforme majeure du temps de travail qui entre en vigueur aujourd'hui.

La alternancia y la transición pacífica del poder son pilares fundamentales para la preservación de la democracia y el Estado de Derecho. En este episodio María Alejandra Villamizar y Juan Carlos Restrepo conversan con Mauricio Pava, abogado y conjuez de la Corte Suprema de Justicia sobre la polarización y conflictividad que se está dando en el empalme entre Gustavo Petro y Abelardo de la Espriella, y lo que esto puede representar para Colombia.

En términos prácticos, esto significa que tendrían que desplazarse al menos 53 senadores y aproximadamente 90 representantes a la cámara. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Durante buena parte del siglo XX, la política se organizó alrededor de partidos, sindicatos, medios de comunicación e instituciones que funcionaban como intermediarios entre los ciudadanos y el poder. Hoy, cada vez más personas llegan a la política a través de un video corto, un meme, un streamer o una recomendación algorítmica.En distintos países del mundo, líderes como Donald Trump, Javier Milei o Nayib Bukele han construido comunidades políticas capaces de disputar el poder a los partidos tradicionales utilizando las plataformas digitales como espacios de organización, movilización y difusión ideológica. Las llamadas nuevas derechas parecen haber entendido mejor que otros movimientos cómo funciona la economía de la atención.Pero las redes sociales no son espacios neutrales. Sus algoritmos deciden qué contenidos reciben visibilidad, sus modelos de negocio recompensan la interacción y distintas investigaciones han comenzado a preguntarse si estas dinámicas favorecen los discursos basados en la indignación, el conflicto y la polarización.En este episodio de sistema no operativo, la 5ta temporada de Clase a la Casa, exploramos qué son las nuevas derechas, qué las diferencia de la derecha tradicional y por qué han crecido al mismo tiempo que las plataformas digitales concentran cada vez más poder.También discutimos qué papel juegan los algoritmos en la formación de opiniones políticas, cómo las grandes empresas tecnológicas se han acercado al poder político y de qué manera las redes sociales y la inteligencia artificial están transformando las campañas electorales.Aterrizamos esta conversación en América Latina y en Colombia para analizar el caso de Abelardo de la Espriella: una campaña que encontró en internet una comunidad de nuevas derechas que ya estaba creciendo, se acercó a sus creadores y utilizó las plataformas digitales y la inteligencia artificial para multiplicar la producción y circulación de sus símbolos y mensajes.Nos acompañan Juan Pablo Vargas, investigador de las derechas emergentes en Colombia y de la construcción de opinión política en plataformas digitales, y Carlos Cortés, investigador especializado en plataformas digitales, libertad de expresión y gobernanza de internet.Una producción de 070 Podcasts.Producción: Isaac VargasConducción: Santiago de NarváezGráfica: Isabella Londoño

Electoral Shifts Toward U.S. Cooperation in Peru and Colombia. Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori in Peru and Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia have secured victories, pledging to join U.S.-led regional security coalitions. Both leaders inherit nations plagued by record-high coca production and expanded criminal groups. Their success is viewed as critical for regional stability and counter-cartel efforts in the Americas. (6)1971

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-8-20261966 SWEDEN Chaos in the Strait of Hormuz and Global Alignments. Gordon Chang and Kamran Bokhari. The Strait of Hormuz memorandum of understanding has collapsed, leading the U.S. to end the ceasefire with Iran. Iran is attempting to divide international allies by courting India and Pakistan. Pakistan balances a mediating role against domestic economic instability, while India shifts toward a burden-sharing role in the Indo-Pacific. (1) Chinese Missile Provocations and the Undersea Power Struggle. Gordon Chang and Rebecca Grant. Chinalaunched a long-range missile over sovereign territories toward Fiji, an aggressive move coinciding with major NATO and RIMPAC events. The test signals China's intent to expand its nuclear triad despite its currently "noisy" submarine technology. The U.S. maintains its undersea dominance through advanced programs like the Columbia-class boomer and unmanned Orca systems. (2) Religious Persecution and the Rise of Underground Christianity in China. Gordon Chang and Piero Tozzi. Pastor Ezra Jin's release highlights the CCP's continued persecution of underground churches that refuse to answer to the state. Despite intense Sinicization and arrests of figures like Jimmy Lai, Christianity is flourishing in China as a witness for human dignity. Totalitarian control efforts have created an enemy in an underground congregation potentially numbering over 100 million. (3) PLA Purges and Xi Jinping's Power Consolidation. Gordon Chang and Piero Tozzi. Xi Jinping's provocative missile launches are linked to internal instability and purges within the Central Military Commission. By creating international tension, Xi forces competing party factions to rally behind his leadership. While he controls the propaganda and state security apparatus, his control over the People's Liberation Army remains incomplete. (4) Venezuela's Humanitarian Crisis and US Diplomatic Pragmatism. Evan Ellis. Twin earthquakes in Venezuelahave left thousands dead and missing, with the Maduro regime's response marked by corruption and inefficiency. The U.S. continues to work with regime "thugs" for stability and oil access while preventing the democratically elected leader, María Corina Machado, from returning to aid her country. (5) Electoral Shifts Toward U.S. Cooperation in Peru and Colombia. Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori in Peru and Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia have secured victories, pledging to join U.S.-led regional security coalitions. Both leaders inherit nations plagued by record-high coca production and expanded criminal groups. Their success is viewed as critical for regional stability and counter-cartel efforts in the Americas. (6) Bolivia's Instability and US-Mexico Trade Leverage. Evan Ellis. Bolivia remains on "borrowed time" as Evo Morales leads blockades from his coca-growing stronghold. Simultaneously, the U.S. uses the USMCA's renewal uncertainty as leverage to ensure Mexico's cooperation on migration and drugs. This strategy risks long-term investment but forces immediate strategic compliance from the Mexican administration. (7) Cuba's Grid Collapse and Caribbean Regional Integration. Evan Ellis. Cuba's recurring blackouts highlight a crumbling infrastructure and the failure of economic reforms to appease U.S. sanctions. While the U.S. applies individual sanctions on leaders, CARICOM is expanding its regional influence, recently bringing Martinique in as an associate member to bolster Caribbean governance and maritime security. (8) Russia's Energy Chokepoint and the Shifting Global Oil Map. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drone strikes on major Russian refineries have triggered a severe fuel crisis, forcing export bans on diesel and gasoline. Meanwhile, Gulf states are building massive pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. These developments are neutralizing Iran's "golden weapon" and shifting global oil transit maps away from traditional naval chokepoints. (9) The Strategic Impact of the Drone War on Russia. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drones have achieved what sanctions could not, choking Russia's fuel supply and forcing it to sell oil at massive discounts to China and India. This new form of decentralized drone warfare has made fuel supplies the primary vulnerability of the Russianeconomy. Modern nations, including Taiwan, are now observing these lessons in resource warfare. (10) The Capitalism Model and Monetization of the Space Sector. Bob Zimmerman. Wall Street has embraced commercial space, with private companies like Catalyst performing satellite servicing missions once reserved for government agencies. The U.S. Space Force now buys rapid-launch capabilities from the private sector for orbital reconnaissance. India is also transitioning its space program toward this capitalist model to increase efficiency. (11) Asteroid Probes and Scientific Cosmological Anomalies. Bob Zimmerman. Missions are targeting asteroids like the potentially dangerous Apophis, with a fleet of probes planning a 2029 flyby. Meanwhile, the Euclid telescope has detected ancient quasars that challenge Big Bang timelines. Additional anomalies in Galaxy Centaurus A and unpredictable sunspot activity suggest current cosmological models remain incomplete. (12) European Heat Waves and Shifting Commodity Markets. Simon Constable. Extreme heat is becoming the norm in Europe, driving demand for air conditioning and pressuring electrical infrastructure. Commodity prices show mixed signals; oil and gas have risen due to Middle East tensions, while industrial metals like copper decline. In Britain, Andy Burnham is positioned as a likely future prime leader. (13) The Invisible Power of Global Data Centers. Simon Constable. Data centers represent the digital future, with Virginia housing the world's highest concentration for the federal government. Despite accounting for over 4% of U.S. electricity usage, a quiz reveals that a quarter of Americans know nothing about these facilities. The U.K.holds the second-highest number of data centers globally. (14) The Sino-American Lunar Race for Permanent Presence. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. China aims for a permanent lunar presence at the South Pole to potentially deny access to other powers. NASA is countering with a civilian coalition of private partners like SpaceX to develop sustainable infrastructure for future Mars missions. China's architecture mimics Soviet systems, while NASA's Starship requires complex orbital refueling to reach the moon. (15) Risk Aversion and Logistical Timelines for Moon Landings. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. The Chinesespace program is highly risk-averse to protect the Communist Party's legitimacy. While NASA is "game on," it faces challenges with the Starship lander, which reportedly requires at least 15 refueling launches per mission. China hopes for a manned landing by 2030, while NASA's 2028 timeline remains subject to potential delays. (16)

A transição de governo foi suspensa. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou que a guerra entre Rússia e Ucrânia, que já se arrasta por mais de quatro anos, será resolvida “em breve”. Após manter conversações diretas por telefone com Vladimir Putin e Volodymyr Zelensky, o líder americano afirmou na cúpula da Otan que os dois lados demonstram real interesse em selar um acordo de paz. O líder do PT na Câmara dos Deputados, Pedro Uczai (PT-SC), ameaçou rotular o presidente do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), como "inimigo dos trabalhadores" caso a tramitação da PEC do fim da escala 6x1 não avance na Casa. Por outro lado, Alcolumbre afirmou que não irá tolerar ameaças. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Pratap Chatterjee, executive director of CorpWatch, joins us to discuss their latest report, MAGA Inc., which identifies the Crypto Czars, the Tech Titans and the Prison Profiteers who have bankrolled and benefited the most from Donald Trump's corrupt regime. Then, Ralph welcomes Elliot Negin, executive editor of Money Trail to talk about how Donald Trump is trying to turn Washington DC into a monument to himself.Pratap Chatterjee is an investigative journalist, producer and executive director of CorpWatch, an organization that works to promote environmental, social and human rights by holding multinational corporations accountable for their actions. He is the author of several books, including Verax: The True History of Whistleblowers, Drone Warfare, and Mass Surveillance, Halliburton's Army, and Iraq Inc.: A Profitable Occupation.Palantir is really critical to understanding how the surveillance state works, especially in identifying people to deport and locations and people to kill in Trump's new wars overseas, such as in Iran…Palantir's data analytical capabilities are actually extremely simplistic and terrible. But when it comes to looking for an easy solution, that's what Palantir offers. And they've been able to offer this to the Trump administration—to have them speed up their political plans such as deportation, such as waging war against Iran by giving them easy answers.Pratap ChatterjeeThe biggest company behind the cryptocurrency used by criminals and drug dealers and gun traffickers has come out of the shadows, into the light, thanks specifically to the credibility offered by the Trump administration. And so this is really a sea change.Pratap ChatterjeeElliott Negin, executive editor of the Substack newsletter Money Trail, is an award-winning writer, illustrator and publication designer. Prior to co-founding Money Trail in February 2025, he was the managing editor of American Journalism Review, editor and art director of Public Citizen and Nuclear Times magazines, a news editor at NPR, and a regular contributor to HuffPost and the Union of Concerned Scientists' Equation. His freelance articles have appeared in The Atlantic, Common Dreams, The Hill, L.A. Progressive, The Nation, Scientific American, the Washington Post and other publications.It turns out that there is a government-owned ballroom less than a mile from the White House that would serve the purposes of a state dinner, which is one of the only events that you would need a ballroom for. If Trump builds a ballroom, it will not be used probably 360 days out of the year… To have a building that big that's going to be sitting empty for all that time makes no sense whatsoever.Elliott NeginRight now, the cost of this ballroom has been escalating… And half of it's supposed to be covered by taxpayers. Give credit to Public Citizen. It did a report that found out that more than half the donors that were identified as donating to the project when it was pegged at $400 million (including Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Palantir) have gained contracts with the federal government worth more than $50 billion in the last six months. That's a hell of a return on investment.Elliott NeginNews 7/3/26* Our top stories this week are the Colorado primaries. First, DSA-backed insurgent Melat Kiros successfully ousted 29-year incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette in the state's first congressional district, winning in a surprise blowout of over 13 points. Kiros, a 29-year old Tigrayan-American lawyer and PhD student, was fired from Sidley Austin – a “biglaw” firm in 2023, after she “posted an open letter defending students protesting Israel's war in Gaza from charges of antisemitism,” per Colorado Newsline. Axios reports many House Democrats, speaking anonymously, have bemoaned DeGette's loss, with one accusing Kiros of trafficking in “performative politics,” but Usamah Andrabi, spokesperson for Justice Democrats, one of the main groups that backed Kiros, put it simply when he said “If DeGette didn't deserve a primary, Denverites wouldn't have elected Melat” by double digits.* Also in Colorado, state Attorney General Phil Weiser easily defeated Senator Michael Bennet in the primary to succeed Jared Polis as Governor. While Weiser did run to Bennet's left, the real victory for progressives is that Bennet finishing out his own term means the Colorado Democratic establishment won't be able to appoint someone – likely a centrist member of the House – to replace him, per Axios. Meanwhile, John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democratic institution won his primary as well, fending off a challenge from his left by state Senator Julie Gonzales. However, Gonzales came within 6 points of Hickenlooper, according to Colorado Public Radio, a tantalizingly close margin. Moreover, not only has Hickenlooper vowed that this would be his final Senate term, many are speculating that Bennet himself won't run when his term ends in 2028. That is all to say, it is possible we have not seen the last of Ms. Gonzales.* Speaking of Gonzales, much has been made of the fact that she “softly” distanced herself from DSA as she launched her primary campaign, per Colorado Pols. Perhaps maintaining that organizational relationship would not have resulted in her victory, but the stunning successes of DSA-backed candidates – including Melat Kiros in Colorado – speaks to the group's impressive organizational muscle. In fact, the group can boast of winning yet another seat in the New York State Assembly, with Maurice “Mo” Brown declaring victory against longtime incumbent Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli in the 129th Assembly District. Magnarelli held the seat for 30 years. Brown won by just over 100 votes after all the absentee and affidavit votes were tallied, according to Syracuse.com. With Brown's victory, DSA will send 16 members to Albany next session, nearly doubling its presence across both chambers of the state legislature.* More impressive than the electoral victories however is the fact that DSA members in office are delivering on their campaign promises. Most notably, in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has successfully forced a vote through the Rent Guidelines Board to enact a rent freeze for the Big Apple's 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, Time reports. These units make up a whopping 27% of the city's housing stock and house around 2 million people. Mamdani's predecessor, the corporate-friendly Democrat Eric Adams, pushed through rent hikes via the guidelines board, raising the rent by 12.6% over the course of his term in office. Mamdani called this the “relief that working people across our city deserve.” This move has, predictably, drawn the ire of landlords and their industry representatives, but there is no denying that the people of New York City voted for Mamdani in large part for this exact policy and he delivered.* In Congress, another socialist – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – is fighting for key amendments to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. These run the gamut from prohibiting the transfer of weapons to countries hampering the delivery of humanitarian aid, such as Israel, to demanding that the Secretary of Defense conduct declassification reviews or release unclassified reports on American assistance to the dictatorship in Brazil and the coup in Chile, barring Pentagon funds from being used to enforce sanctions on Cuba, and many more. As the scope of national legislation has narrowed in recent decades, amendments to massive flagship funding bills like the NDAA have become a primary means of getting legislation through the gridlock. It is very encouraging to see AOC take advantage of this mechanism to force votes on these issues.* Of course, the centrists will not simply cede power to the left without a fight. Yahoo reports 13 Democratic House members and candidates have signed onto what they are calling the “Promise to America,” consisting mainly of vague commitments to principles like “Growth, Competition, and Broad Prosperity,” or “Safety, Security, and Human Dignity.” They have also stepped up their rhetoric, saying “there's going to be a war” between themselves and the new crop of progressive and DSA lawmakers, per Fox News. Of course, this all makes one wonder whether the Democrats would be in this position at all if they were this confrontational with the Republicans instead of their own voter base.* Another emerging theater of combat between the center and the left is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The CHC is led by the lame duck New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who was defeated in his primary by Darializa Avila Chevalier. Both Espaillat and Avila Chevalier – or DAC as she has come to be known – are Dominican, despite Espaillat's last-minute smear campaign calling her Haitian, and she plans to join the CHC once she takes her seat in the House. Yet, POLITICO reports the CHC is divided about admitting DAC. While no member is going so far as to say outright that she should not be admitted, many, such as CHC Whip Sylvia Garcia of Texas, are saying things like if DAC is “aligned with all our priorities and all our legislative programs, we would welcome her.” Of course this raises the question of if she is not, would they still welcome her. The all-Democratic CHC has previously barred the entry of Republican Hispanic Congressman Carlos Curbelo of Florida and the Congressional Black Caucus barred Espaillat himself from joining after a feud between him and former Congressman Charles Rangel. In addition to DAC's accession, the CHC will also have to decide on a new leader with Espaillat gone. The Vice-Chair, Darren Soto of Florida, may lose reelection due to redistricting in Florida, leaving the seat up for grabs.* In more Florida-related news, on June 25th Florida Governor Ron DeSantis formally announced the closure of “Alligator Alcatraz” the immigrant detention facility much hyped in the early days of the second Trump administration. While DeSantis claims that the facility had simply “fulfilled the role it was designed to serve,” there is an alternate story being told in the native community. Native News Online has published a statement by Judith LeBlanc (Caddo), executive director of Native Organizers Alliance, which highlights that the facility was constructed and operated “in violation of the sovereign rights of the Miccosukee Tribe, who took the government to court for illegally constructing the center without their consultation or consent,” and hailed the closure as “a victory for human rights and Tribal Sovereignty.” The statement further decried “The administration's violent crackdown on migrant communities” as “an affront to all we stand for as Native peoples.”* Turning further south, the Guardian is out with a chilling story concerning the death of Monika Silva Koniuszek, a Polish anti-corruption activist, who was supposedly investigating self-dealing within the ruling Noboa family of Ecuador. According to her colleagues, Silva Koniuszek was investigating “Noboa Trading, the fruit conglomerate belonging to the family of the rightwing president, Daniel Noboa.” Specifically, they said she had been pursuing allegations that “several tonnes of cocaine had been seized in Noboa Trading banana containers,” and that “high-ranking Ecuadorian judicial officials were stalling the investigations.” Additionally, “Shortly before she was killed, she told friends that she had delivered a dossier of allegations to the US embassy in Quito.” Koniuszek was found dead with a noose around her neck, and Ecuador's interior minister announced that she had died by suicide even before the autopsy results were released. Once those results came out, they contradicted this claim, finding that her cause of death was “a blow to the head and strangulation.”* Finally, in neighboring Colombia, leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda, who lost the recent presidential election, has called on the people of that country to engage in mass civil disobedience, according to Jorge Bastidas, a Colombian Congressman and member of Cepeda's party. Specifically, Cepeda is demanding that the Colombian people not recognize the presidency of Abelardo de la Espriella unless and until he meets certain demands, including renouncing his U.S. nationality, disproving claims that he is a CIA collaborator, and vowing not to persecute and extradite his political opponents including outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Cepeda has stressed that this mass action, if pursued, will be peaceful.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-1--2026.1804 GREENWICHRick Fisher discusses China's Tiangong space station, which is set to double in size by 2030 and host international partners. He highlights dual-use military concerns and potential plans for a lunar toll booth at the L2 Lagrange point to control access to the moon. (1)Jim Fanell explains China's "salami slicing" tactics in the maritime domain, using law enforcement vessels to claim sovereign jurisdiction over waters east of Taiwan. He recommends the U.S. counter these moves by sending an aircraft carrier strike group through the Taiwan Strait to assert international law. (2)Steve Yates analyzes China's Ethnic Unity Law, which codifies ethnonationalism and criminalizes the denial of Chinese identity even for those outside the PRC. The law targets Taiwanese identity and may lead to the extradition of critics, reflecting the CCP's focus on total ideological control. (3)Gordon Chang and Steve Yates discuss the alarm in Beijing after a small aircraft crashed into the CITIC Tower, highlighting vulnerabilities in China's air defenses near the leadership compound. The incident shattered the narrative of an impervious security state, raising fears that drones could easily strike the capital. (4)Bob Zimmerman discusses Rocket Lab's acquisition of Iridium for $8 billion, signaling a trend toward vertical integration. He also covers Blue Origin's investigation into a launchpad explosion and SpaceX's Star Mind data constellation, emphasizing the importance of corporate transparency and risk-taking in the space industry. (5)Bob Zimmerman reports that NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman is streamlining the Artemis program by focusing on a lunar base and leveraging private sector contracts for landers and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Boeing Starlinerprogram is likely dead following poor performance and the Inspector General's recommendation to halt further funding. (6)Bob Zimmerman examines new spaceports in Sweden, Oman, and Australia, noting geographical and financial challenges. He criticizes India's ISRO for a lack of transparency regarding delays in the Gaganyaan manned mission and undisclosed rocket failures, warning that such secrecy breeds public distrust. (7)Bob Zimmerman reports research showing weightlessness harms reproduction in mice, suggesting humans will need artificial gravity for long-term missions. On Mars, Curiosity discovered unique polygon ridges, possibly indicating ancient water. Additionally, New Horizons confirmed the solar wind slows at the solar system's edge. (8)Professor Evan Ellis discusses the two massive earthquakes that struck Venezuela, causing widespread destruction due to corrupt building practices and neglected infrastructure. The U.S. military has deployed 900 personnel for relief as the illegitimate Rodriguez government struggles to provide an effective humanitarian response to the mounting tragedy. (9)Professor Evan Ellis analyzes the challenges facing President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, who must reverse fiscal mismanagement while navigating a divided Congress. His administration plans a hardline stance against illegal armed groups like the ELN and FARC to restore state authority and encourage foreign investment in the mining and oil sectors. (10)Professor Evan Ellis reports that Keiko Fujimori is the declared victor in Peru's election, promising a pro-security, pro-U.S. agenda despite continued economic ties with China.

C dans l'air du 2 juillet 2026 - Trump : 4 milliards en 2 ans... le jackpot de la Maison BlancheBusiness is business. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump a vu sa fortune presque tripler depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche. Celle-ci est passée de 2,3 à 6,5 milliards de dollars entre 2024 et 2026 selon Forbes. Et c'est principalement la cryptomonnaie qui fait exploser ses revenus. Selon sa déclaration financière, ses activités dans ce secteur pourraient lui avoir rapporté plus d'1,2 milliard de dollars. Une situation qui relance notamment les accusations de conflits d'intérêts, alors que le locataire de la Maison Blanche multiplie les initiatives pour favoriser le développement des monnaies numériques. De plus, le président américain continue de tirer profit de son image. Parmi les produits dérivés les plus médiatisés figure la « God Bless the USA Bible », dont plus de 208 000 exemplaires ont été vendus. À cela s'ajoutent des baskets, montres, parfums ou encore des guitares. Un empire économique colossal. La Cour suprême a toutefois infligé un revers important au président américain. Fin juin, elle a confirmé que les enfants nés aux États-Unis restent automatiquement citoyens américains, invalidant ainsi le décret de Donald Trump sur le droit du sol. Une décision symbolique, d'autant que trois des neuf juges de la Cour ont été nommés par lui lors de son premier mandat. Ce n'est pas la première fois que la haute juridiction freine ses ambitions. Quelques mois plus tôt, elle avait déjà limité une partie de sa politique sur les droits de douane, estimant que certaines mesures relevaient du Congrès. Ces décisions rappellent que, malgré sa majorité conservatrice, la Cour suprême conserve son indépendance vis-à-vis du pouvoir exécutif. À l'international, Donald Trump fait de l'Amérique latine une priorité. Son administration remet en avant la doctrine Monroe, selon laquelle les États-Unis doivent rester la puissance dominante sur le continent. L'objectif est de contrer l'influence grandissante de la Chine, de la Russie et de l'Iran dans la région. Cette stratégie s'appuie aussi sur une ligne dure envers les gouvernements de gauche. Washington maintient une forte pression sur le Venezuela et Cuba, tout en saluant l'arrivée au pouvoir de dirigeants conservateurs. En Colombie, la récente victoire du candidat d'ultradroite, Abelardo de la Espriella, soutenu par Donald Trump, est perçue comme le signe d'un regain d'influence du trumpisme en Amérique latine. A quel point Donald Trump utilise-t-il sa présidence pour enrichir son empire économique ? La Cour suprême est-elle devenue un contre-pouvoir au président américain ? Donald Trump cherche-t-il à réaffirmer l'hégémonie des États-Unis en Amérique latine ?Nos experts :- Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste à Franceinfo TV et spécialiste des questions internationales - Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, auteure de « Requiem pour le monde libre » - Lauric HENNETON - Historien, spécialiste des États-Unis, maître de conférences à l'Université Versailles-Saint Quentin - Patricia ALLÉMONIÈRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales

Leaked audio recordings between powerful right-wing figures in Latin America have revealed a massive and shocking conspiracy—involving the United States and Israel—to forge an international political network with the expressed purpose of undermining leftist leaders in the region. In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Latin-America-based journalist and TRNN correspondent Michael Fox about “HondurasGate,” what the scandal tells us about the machinations of the international far right today, and how those machinations fit into the long, violent history of US imperialism in Latin America. Editor's Note: This episode was recorded before the 2026 presidential elections in Colombia, which resulted in right-wing candidate and Trump ally Abelardo de la Espriella becoming the country's next president. Additional links/info: Michael Fox, Under the Shadow / TRNN, “HondurasGate: Leaks reveal the far-right plan to undermine Latin America's left”José Luis Granados Ceja, DropSite, “Hondurasgate: Key leaked audio files, revealing U.S. intervention in Honduras, found authentic ‘with moderate confidence'”Michael Fox, Under the Shadow / TRNN, “U.S.S.

Ralph speaks to economist Dean Baker about the hypocrisies behind the supposed Social Security shortfall and Republicans' "waste, fraud, and abuse" panic. Then, Ralph talks to journalist and ocean activist David Helvarg about his new book: Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.Dean Baker is a Senior Economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, where he authors “Beat the Press,” his regular commentary on economic reporting. He has written several books, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People, The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive, False Profits: Recovering from the Bubble Economy, and The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer.People will hear big numbers. They'll hear “$300 billion” and they'll go “Oh my God, that's a lot of money. That's money out of my pocket. It's causing the government deficit,” whatever. That's because they haven't given it any context…If we could, in any conceivable world, afford to pay $500 billion to increase the military budget, surely we can afford to pay $300 billion to ensure that everyone gets their Social Security benefits. It's just a case of: put it in context. I'm not going to say it's a small number. It isn't. But it's smaller— $300 billion is smaller than $500 billion, and that's really not a disputable point.Dean BakerWhere [DOGE] had the biggest consequences is with foreign aid. [Musk] just got a big kick out of that— USAID, he just shut it down. He boasted about that. He goes, “Last weekend I fed USAID into the wood chipper.” That's almost verbatim what he said. Now, what this meant was that you have people— and you could find waste in that program just like any other program, but this is a program that provided millions of people with medicine, with nutrition, with healthcare. And suddenly they couldn't get it…And Elon Musk was boasting that he killed that program. That's great. But millions of people, I mean, thankfully, I don't think it's millions yet, but if that program doesn't get restarted or funded somewhere else, you're going to see millions of people lose their lives.Dean BakerSo we're saying we have people on Medicaid that are committing fraud? No one gets a check from Medicaid. What would that even mean? Like, you signed up for Medicaid and you weren't eligible, so that would mean that they might be making a payment to a doctor or hospital that they don't actually have to make because you didn't qualify? I'm sure that happens sometimes but it's not like someone's living high on the hog because they were able to get Medicaid to pay for their doctor's visit when it actually shouldn't have.Dean BakerDavid Helvarg is a journalist and ocean activist. He is the founder and executive director of Blue Frontier, an ocean policy and media group, and producer of Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast. He has produced more than 40 documentaries for media outlets, including PBS and the Discovery Channel. And he has written several books, including Blue Frontier, The War Against the Greens, and Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.I've been pushing with my colleagues in journalism the idea of the “blue beat.” The only resource in the ocean not fully exploited at this point is good investigative reporting and narrative storytelling. Because people don't connect with it, a lot of people think the environment ends at the shoreline. And that's really where 95% of the living space on the planet begins.David HelvargPeople at least know that corals are in trouble and they have some sense of what a coral reef is. People don't know that the planet has this other forest crisis—that kelp forests cover an area larger than the Amazon basin, and they're also being impacted by these marine heat waves that are growing every year. And as you add more heat to the system, it gets more energetic, which is why we have more and more extreme storms. I covered Katrina in 2005. I thought that would be a turning point (we had 1,800 people killed and a million environmental refugees). But the propaganda by the oil and gas industry is such that we keep having these disasters from a warming ocean planet, we see the melting of the Arctic ice, and instead of an alarm bell, it became a dinner bell for all the shipping industries and people who want to exploit the oil and gas in the increasingly open Arctic waters. So we're in this crisis point. I'm more frustrated than despairing because we know what the solutions are. It's creating the political will to enact them.David HelvargWhen I started Blue Frontier 20 years ago, the main threats were overfishing and pollution—oil, chemical, plastic, nutrient pollution. Today, that's being overwhelmed by these marine heat waves.David HelvargNews 6/26/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani has pulled off a stunning hat trick, with all three candidates for Congress endorsed by the Mayor winning their primaries on Tuesday. The most surprising victory is that of Darializa Avila Chevalier, who ousted the powerful incumbent Congressman Adriano Espaillat, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in New York's 13th congressional district. This primary had turned ugly, with Espaillat's campaign seeking to weaponize anti-Haitian racism in the Dominican community against Avila Chevalier, per the Haitian Times, despite the fact that she is not in fact Haitian. Impressive in another way is the victory of UAW organizer and New York State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez in New York's 7th district. Much has been made of this race being a proxy battle between Mamdani and his onetime supporter, retiring Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who backed her protégé, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her in this seat. Reynoso enjoyed the support of a broad range of New York elected officials – including Velazquez along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and a broad range of unions and civil society groups, most notably the Working Families Party – but was absolutely trounced by Valdez, who won by over 20 points with the support of Mamdani and NYC-DSA. Meanwhile, in the 10th district, Brad Lander won by an even greater margin, outrunning incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman by over 30 points while running on a pro-Palestine platform in the most Jewish congressional district in America. These victories send a clear signal to the sclerotic, ossified leadership of the Democratic Party. The only question now is will they listen.* Beyond the congressional races, DSA won a remarkable number of races at the state level. According to Democratic Left, DSA will send as many as seven new legislators to Albany this cycle, for a total of “four state senators and 11 or 12 members of the state assembly.” As the magazine notes, this means that the “2027-2028 socialist bloc in Albany will be the second largest in a state legislature in U.S. history…behind 20 members in Wisconsin in 1919 and ahead of 14 members in Wisconsin in 1911.” Within New York City, DSA endorsed candidates won seven out of eight races for seats in the state legislature, per NYC-DSA. All told, it was a thunderous victory for the left in New York and raises the clout of Zohran and his compatriots to dizzying heights.* Meanwhile, in Washington DC, NOTUS reports the local DSA has exploded in membership, adding nearly 1,000 new members since this time last year. This growing bloc flexed its political muscle in the recent Democratic primaries, electing DSA members Janeese Lewis George for Mayor and Aparna Raj for the Ward 1 seat on the DC Council, as well as Oye Owolewa for an at-large seat. Axios notes that they are already eying, “two more openings — to fill Lewis George's Ward 4 seat and the at-large seat of Congress-bound Robert White.” If these votes go in DSA's favor, Lewis George could assume the mayoralty with a progressive majority of seven out of 13 members on the Council. Since her victory last Tuesday, Lewis George has emphasized her plan to lower utility costs through “expanding government solar,” and “balcony solar” for apartment tenants, optimizing efficiency at local government agencies and maximizing federal housing grants.* In Maryland, the results for DSA and progressives more generally were not quite so decisive but the left notched key victories nonetheless. DSA endorsed candidate McKayla Wilkes won her primary for the Charles County Commission and incumbent State Delegate Gabriel Acevero won reelection to his seat. Senators Dalya Attar and Nancy King, both centrist incumbents, lost to progressive challengers, per Maryland Matters. Will Jawando in Montgomery County won the County Executive position with broad support from the Maryland political establishment and progressives, while Maryland Senate Majority Leader Bill Ferguson fended off his first real challenge in years only after a last minute pledge to reverse his position on Maryland congressional redistricting. However, in the 5th congressional district, Steny Hoyer protégé and “AIPAC-backed” Adrian Boafo won the primary to succeed his mentor in Congress. According to the Jerusalem Post, “AIPAC poured $5.7 million into his campaign through its super PAC.” Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn came in a distant third place, despite scoring the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. In short, the left has more work to do in order to build a political machine in Maryland as they have in New York and DC.* The next major contest between the factions of the party will occur next week in Colorado, where Melat Kiros, a DSA-backed progressive challenger born in 1997, is taking on Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who first took office that same year, per Zeteo. According to a poll conducted on behalf of the Kiros-aligned Justice Democrats, she leads DeGette by five points and she has now won the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders. Senator and former Governor John Hickenlooper is also facing a progressive primary challenge from State Senator Julie Gonzales and, according to the polls, he holds but a single digit lead, the Coloradan reports. We will be watching both of these races closely.* Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate has passed a new resolution on Iran, this time directing Trump to “remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress, other than to defend America, an ally or partner from ‘imminent attack,'” according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal notes that while the resolution is nonbinding, it was previously passed by the House, marking “the first time both chambers of Congress have passed the same measure to curb” presidential power to wage war on the Islamic Republic. The resolution passed 50-48, with the support of Republican Senators Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. Senators Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick were absent, and Senator John Fetterman again broke ranks with the Democrats to vote no.* Turning from the Senate floor to the shop floor, the United Auto Workers (UAW) concluded their 39th Constitutional Convention last week, with a momentous vote to divest the union's investments from Israel bonds. UAW's divestment decision is the latest victory in the campaign to disentangle the finances of American organized labor from the state of Israel, following the United Electrical Workers (UE) in 2015 and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2023. UAW members also heard from Abdul El-Sayed, the candidate the union has endorsed in the Michigan Senate race. This contentious campaign will not be over until August, but El-Sayed, occupying the progressive lane, has moved into the lead and appears to be consolidating his lead, winning the endorsement of Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just this week, per the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Van Hollen himself has recently begun hinting that he may seek higher office, recently telling NOTUS that he is “kicking the tires” on a 2028 presidential bid.* Turning to foreign affairs, this week saw the fall of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer, a centrist who was elected Labour Party leader in 2020 following the ouster of leftist Jeremy Corbyn, has held the post of Prime Minister since 2024 when Labour won an historic landslide. Since then however, his personal approval rating and that of the party has cratered, creating space for the rise of the far-right Reform UK party. The BBC reports Starmer will remain in his post until a new leader is chosen from within the party, with the presumptive successor being MP Andy Burnham who recently beat back a challenge in his own seat by a Reform candidate by a large margin. Starmer is now set to be the shortest serving Labour PM in British history, while Burnham is set to become the UK's seventh Prime Minister in the last ten years, both indications of the precariousness of the post-Brexit British political order.* Our final two stories come to us from Latin America. First, in Bolivia, the country's union confederation has maintained a general strike against the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz for nearly two months over his administration's initiatives to privatize government services and rescind the land reform program instituted over the last several decades of rule by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). On June 19th, journalist Ollie Vargas reported that the government had blinked and signed an agreement to withdraw these plans in exchange for the unions ending the general strike. However, Vargas notes that “most affiliated unions state that they want to maintain strike until [the Paz government] resigns.”* Finally, in Colombia, the right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella emerged victorious from Sunday's runoff presidential election, defeating leftist Ivan Cepeda, the handpicked successor of sitting President Gustavo Petro, by less than one percentage point. In the immediate wake of the election, President Petro “alleged that Israel interfered” in the election, citing “irregularities in the country's vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount,” per Drop Site News. However, by Wednesday, Cepeda himself formally conceded, framing his decision to do so as “an act of democratic responsibility, to contribute to harmony, peace and dialogue among Colombians,” Al Jazeera reports. As one of his first acts, Abelardo de la Espriella has committed to reestablishing diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed under President Petro.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 91900 MEXICO

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The Lucy probe's flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson revealed a "tumbling peanut" shape, providing insights into its 155-million-year history. Additionally, observations of asymmetric radio galaxies highlight galactic movement through the intergalactic medium, while debates continue among cosmologists regarding the existence and properties of dark energy. 16One correction folded in: Labour Party (UK spelling) in file 7. I also expanded the file 9 headline's "Law Order" to "Law and Order" — flag if you wanted it left verbatim.

Guests discuss the right-wing political shift in Latin America following Abelardo De La Espriella's apparent victory in Colombia. They compare his security-focused platform to the Bukele model in El Salvador, emphasizing a mandate to combat the organized crime that has historically penetrated the region's political systems. 5

Abelardo de la Espriella claims to have won the tight presidential race in Colombia against left-wing rival Ivan Cepeda. It's estimated only a few hundred thousand votes separate the two candidates. Mr de la Espriella, who's backed by President Trump, wants to use force to combat drug cartels and rebel groups.
