En este episodio conversamos con Gary Forero y Liliana González, actores reconocidos en Colombia, sobre una historia que va mucho más allá de la fama. Hablamos de amor, pareja, familia, renuncias, crisis, inmigración, reinvención y bienes raíces. Durante años vivieron del arte, pero también vieron de cerca una realidad dura: muchos artistas llegan a la vejez sin estabilidad económica. Esa reflexión los llevó a hacerse preguntas profundas sobre el futuro que estaban construyendo. En esta conversación descubrirás cómo lograron empezar de nuevo, soltar el personaje, trabajar en equipo como pareja y construir una nueva visión financiera a través de los bienes raíces. Este episodio es para ti si alguna vez has sentido que tienes que elegir entre tus sueños, tu familia y tu estabilidad económica. Porque la libertad financiera no se trata solo de dinero. También se trata de paz, amor y decisiones conscientes.

In this latest update from Colombia Calling and Colombia Reports, we look at the most recent developments in the lead into the second round of the presidential elections on 21 June. Ivan Cepeda revives the parapolitica scandal and accuses rival of being a member of the right wing AUC paramilitaries. Has the Pacto Histórico shifted from its slumbering state? We look at the different accusations levied at Abelardo de la Espriella, including fraud, bribery, corruption and connections to drug traffickers. Also, what does it mean that Aberlardo de la Espriella is a US citizen? Trouble ahead? And tune in to the Colombia Briefing reported by Emily Hart. 

El 10 de junio Dario Amodei, fundador de Anthropic, publicó una reflexión en la que pedía una regulación seria y vinculante para la inteligencia artificial. Dos días antes su empresa había lanzado Fable, una versión recortada de Mythos, el modelo de lenguaje más potente del momento. El viernes 12 de junio el Gobierno Trump le concedió el deseo de la peor manera posible. Por segunda vez en cuatro meses descargó una bomba sobre Anthropic. El Gobierno prohibió el uso de Fable y Mythos para los extranjeros escudándose en razones de seguridad nacional. Eso implicaba que nadie que no fuese estadounidense podía usar estos modelos, incluyendo a muchos empleados de la empresa que los ha desarrollado. Anthropic respondió apagándolos por completo, ya que cumplir esa orden les resultaba imposible. Mythos lo empleaban en ese momento unas 200 empresas e investigadores para monitorizar y parchear fallos de software en sectores como la banca, la sanidad y la industria. Todos se quedaron sin la herramienta de un día para otro. El origen de todo estuvo, según parece, en Andy Jassy, consejero delegado de Amazon, inversor en Anthropic y a la vez su competidor. El equipo de Jassy aseguraba haber conseguido que Fable revelara vulnerabilidades de seguridad nacional si se le hacían las preguntas de un modo concreto. A partir de ahí las versiones varían. David Sacks aseguró que el Gobierno pidió a Amodei arreglar o retirar Fable y que se negó. Anthropic habla solo de una orden de bloquear a los extranjeros. Tampoco ha quedado claro el soporte legal, los analistas apuntan al mismo reglamento de control de exportaciones que impide la venta de cierto tipo de chips a China. Para muchos el objetivo verdadero era simplemente castigar a una empresa concreta a la que Trump considera de izquierda radical y de estar fuera de control. No es, recordemos, la primera vez que el Gobierno carga contra ella. Hace unos meses Pete Hegseth sacó a Anthropic del Pentágono. Para la empresa esta polémica no podía llegar en peor momento, están ultimando su salida a Bolsa este otoño y sus principales competidores como OpenAI lo aprovecharán hasta el final. Varios expertos en ciberseguridad han relativizado la amenaza que supone Fable y Mythos. Aseguran que las pruebas solo han destapado vulnerabilidades menores ya conocidas. El domingo un grupo de expertos muy reconocidos en el ámbito de la seguridad informática firmaron una carta colectiva en la que pedían levantar el veto, ya que está dejando sin las mejores herramientas precisamente a quienes vigilan la seguridad de la red. Para los aliados más próximos como Australia, Canadá o el Reino Unido la imposibilidad de poder utilizar estos modelos es una bofetada que les equipara a Rusia o Irán. Pero esto de la IA se ha convertido ya en una lucha de carácter geopolítico y ahí no hay amigos, o los hay pero hasta cierto punto.

Martin Tyler joins Neil Barnett from Dallas as the FIFA World Cup gets properly underway, bringing a unique view from inside the tournament as football's biggest competition begins to take shape. From the atmosphere around Arlington and the arrival of supporters from across the globe, to life behind the scenes with the host broadcaster, Martin gives his first on-the-ground reflections from the USA. The pair introduce World Cup Wins and Woes, celebrating some of the early stories of the tournament while also tackling the controversies. There's discussion of Raúl Jiménez's emotional first World Cup goal for Mexico, South Africa's costly insistence on playing out from the back, the growing use of hydration breaks, the influence of set-piece coaches, and whether football is becoming too Americanised. In Martin Tyler's Letter From The Gantry, Martin reflects on major stories emerging away from the pitch, including Marc Cucurella's move back to Spain, Denzel Dumfries' rise, José Mourinho's return to Real Madrid, and the remarkable World Cup drama surrounding Japan captain Wataru Endo, who was surprisingly cut from the squad before the tournament began. He also shares some of the pronunciation challenges commentators face when working on a truly global event. Three of the Best returns with standout performers from the opening round of matches. Martin highlights Morocco's teenage midfield talent Isaac Belarouch, Neil makes the case for Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, and there is praise for Graham Potter's Sweden, Flo Balogun's starring role for the USA, Virgil van Dijk's leadership, Ronald Koeman's legacy, and the brilliance of Achraf Hakimi, described as perhaps the best right-back in world football. Finally, One Trophy Wonders looks at international sides who have only lifted one major honour despite producing great players and memorable teams, including South Africa, Colombia, Portugal, the Netherlands and England. World Cup stories, football debate, commentary insight, and plenty of laughs from Dallas and London as the biggest tournament in sport begins. #worldcup #worldcup2026 #fifa #fifaworldcup #worldcupfinal  Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5 Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/ Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/ Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/ A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters: Nick Parmenter Hillary Abbott Daniel Butigan Tommy Mck Katie Watson Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

WHAT AN OPENING WEEKEND!

Más allá de los choques ideológicos evidentes, la política exterior se define por el pragmatismo y los intereses compartidos. Fabián Cárdenas regresa a El Locutorio Podcast para plantear una cruda pero necesaria radiografía del poder contemporáneo: la falta de estadistas reales en el plano internacional. Una invitación a analizar por qué la política moderna se volvió tan predecible en sus ataques pero tan vacía en sus propuestas, y cómo reconstruir la confianza en las instituciones globales antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Los colombianos van a las urnas este domingo 21 con dos opciones, votar al ultraderechista Abelardo de la Espriella o al candidato de la izquierda oficialista, Iván Cepeda. Ambos llegan al balotaje tras una campaña minada por un aumento de la violencia de los grupos armados que ha colocado el tema en el centro del debate. ¿Cómo combatirla, con mano dura o con diálogo? Lo cierto es que la ola de criminalidad se ha vuelto un calvario en departamentos como la del Cauca. RFI viajó a la zona de Popayán, la capital, para hablar con los habitantes de comunidades que viven en medio de un verdadero fuego cruzado. El departamento del Cauca, en el suroccidente de Colombia, lleva décadas marcado por el conflicto armado. Su geografía de difícil acceso ha favorecido tanto el cultivo de coca como la presencia de grupos armados y distintas disputas territoriales, en un contexto de histórico abandono estatal. El pasado abril, la región registró 24 hechos violentos en una sola semana, con muertos y heridos, lo que aumentó el temor entre la población. En la región de Popayán, la capital del departamento, María describe el impacto cotidiano de esa violencia en la vida de las comunidades. “Trasladarse de un lugar a otro implica correr el riesgo de que algo ocurra, de que les pase algo a nuestros hijos, por ejemplo, cuando salen a estudiar. Uno teme que estalle una bomba o que suceda cualquier cosa. Eso genera pánico en toda la comunidad, porque ya ha pasado en muchos lugares”. Las comunidades intentan resistir a la violencia, aunque también conviven con la sensación de abandono institucional, señala Julián. “En el Cauca se usa mucho una frase: ‘no pasa nada'. Si aparece un cilindro, se dice: ‘no pasa nada'. Si ocurre una masacre a 20 minutos de nuestro colegio, se dice: ‘no pasa nada'. Si matan al señor de la carne, también: ‘no pasa nada'. No es que seamos indolentes; es que, como no tenemos otra cosa que hacer, terminamos normalizándolo. Y ese es el riesgo: que lo veamos tan normal, tan cotidiano, que deje de sorprendernos”. Sandra Ortiz, integrante de Diálogos Humanitarios del Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca, reconoce que esta región ha sido históricamente víctima de la guerra, pero asegura que, tras los diálogos de paz, hace diez años, la dinámica del conflicto ha cambiado. “Ahora son otros grupos, enfocados en los cultivos y en la minería ilegal, con un propósito de control y destrucción de esa economía. Podríamos decir que hay cinco grupos principales: la Dabo, la Jaime, la 57, el ELN y la Carlos Patiño. A partir de ellos se desencadenan otros grupos más pequeños o comandos”. Ortiz añade que estas estructuras armadas se han fortalecido desde la pandemia de COVID-19, con un aumento del reclutamiento. A comienzos de 2026, sumaban más de 27.000 integrantes, según la Fundación Ideas para la Paz, un 23% más que un año antes.

Our guest in this series is Freddy Rivard, Co-Founder of Honduran Coffee Alliance and Insula Coffee. Throughout this series, we explore how financing works in coffee and why understanding liquidity, risk, and value chain relationships is critical to building a more resilient coffee industry.Most coffee professionals understand coffee production, roasting, brewing, and sales. Far fewer understand the financial systems that make coffee trade possible. Yet every bag of coffee that moves from a farm to a roastery requires money to move before coffee can move.In this episode, Freddy Rivard breaks down the fundamentals of coffee financing and explains why financing is not simply about getting a loan from a bank. Together, Lee and Freddy explore how liquidity enables coffee to move across time, geography, and form, from coffee cherries on a farm to roasted coffee in a café.Freddy shares insights from his background in agriculture, microfinance, financial engineering, commodities trading, and coffee importing to explain the different actors involved in financing coffee. The conversation explores how producers, cooperatives, exporters, importers, financial institutions, and roasters all play a role in keeping coffee flowing through the supply chain.They also discuss why liquidity is often described as the lifeblood of commodity markets, how specialty coffee differs from commodity coffee in terms of liquidity, and why understanding the flow of money is becoming increasingly important during today's coffee crisis.Why this mattersMany coffee businesses focus exclusively on product, quality, and sales. However, the businesses that understand how money moves through the coffee supply chain are often better positioned to manage risk, build stronger partnerships, and navigate market volatility.

What happens when you run the numbers on the Airbnb you're staying in and realize it beats every turnkey rental you toured that day? For Tim Hubbard, it meant walking away from the long term rental deal he flew to Tennessee to find, buying a historic eight-unit apartment building instead, and converting it to short term rentals. That single property went on to earn roughly eight times what it produced as a long term rental, and it set him free.In this episode, host David Richter sits down with Tim to trace the whole journey: discovering Rich Dad Poor Dad nearly 20 years ago, fighting through loan denials as a 1099 contractor to buy a foreclosure fourplex in downtown Sacramento in 2010, house hacking one unit while the other three covered the bills, and 1031 exchanging his way into bigger buildings and better markets.Today Tim runs roughly 65 units, 45 of them short term rentals, from South America, where he's lived for nearly a decade, first in Colombia and now in Brazil. He's also weeks away from opening the first phase of a boutique resort in Colombia and leads Corzly, a core operating center that handles revenue management, 24/7 guest communication, and marketing for short term rental owners and property managers in more than 40 cities.Tim doesn't sugarcoat the 2026 short term rental market: it's more competitive, guest expectations are higher, and owners still pricing like it's two years ago aren't getting booked. This conversation is a masterclass in reading supply and demand, finding the luxury edge, and building operations that let the profit actually reach you.Episode Highlights[1:01] – David welcomes Tim Hubbard, short term rental investor and host of Short Term Rental Riches[1:50] – Discovering Rich Dad Poor Dad young and buying a first property within about two years[3:50] – The 2010 foreclosure fourplex in downtown Sacramento: FHA loan, 1099 income, and repeated denials[5:16] – House hacking one unit, renting out three, and cash flowing from day one[6:25] – 1031 exchanging four units into nine in a better appreciating out-of-state market[6:59] – The Tennessee light bulb: the Airbnb he rented penciled far better than the turnkey rentals he toured[7:43] – Buying a historic eight-unit building and spending a year converting it to short term rentals[9:12] – The eight unit that earned eight times more and funded a move to South America[10:19] – Tim's 2026 portfolio: 65 units, 45 short term rentals, and a boutique resort under construction in Colombia[11:58] – How managing properties virtually from abroad grew into Corzly, now operating in over 40 cities[13:21] – Why centralized revenue management and 24/7 guest teams beat hiring locally for small portfolios[17:13] – The seasonal hybrid play: nightly rates in high season, monthly rentals in the off season[18:14] – Tim's biggest lessons: leave for better returns, and think twice before long-timeline projects[20:43] – Advice for new investors: verify supply and demand with a tool like AirDNA before buying anything[22:25] – Why unique luxury properties now have more upside and more recession resistance than commodity rentals[24:31] – Reviews, visibility, and dynamic pricing: the operational levers that can double revenue5 Key TakeawaysThe same property can earn dramatically more under a different strategy; Tim's eight-unit building produced roughly eight times more as short term rentals than it did with long term tenants.Invest where the numbers make sense, not where you happen to live; leaving California for out-of-state returns is the decision Tim credits with setting him free.Before buying a short term rental in 2026, study supply and demand with a tool like AirDNA, and avoid markets where average revenue is falling while purchase prices stay high.The market is inefficient enough that two identical properties next door to each other can have double the revenue gap; strong reviews drive visibility, and dynamic pricing tools like PriceLabs or Wheelhouse are now mandatory to compete.Core operations like revenue management and around-the-clock guest communication don't belong in-house for small portfolios; centralizing them is the same logic as hiring a fractional CFO instead of a full-time one.Links & ResourcesShort Term Rental Riches podcast — https://strriches.comCorzly, Tim's short term rental operations company — https://www.facebook.com/corzlyRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiAirDNA market research tool — https://www.airdna.coPriceLabs and Wheelhouse dynamic pricing toolsBook your free discovery call with Simple CFO — https://simplecfo.comClosing RemarkTim Hubbard built the kind of business most investors say they want: a portfolio that runs without him in the room, from another continent, with profit that funds the life he actually chose.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kemel Ghotme, a Colombian paediatric neurosurgeon who led the first neurosurgery-led resolution in the history of the World Health Organisation, a global mandate to fortify staple foods with micronutrients to prevent neural tube defects and other birth conditions. I spoke with Kemel in Geneva, where we were attending the third World Health Assembly since the resolution was unanimously adopted in May 2023.You'll hear why patients living with spina bifida chose to advocate for prevention over treatment, how Colombia convinced 35 countries to unanimously adopt a global health resolution in record time, and why a six-dollar intervention is projected to prevent 200,000 birth defects a year.Resources and links:Dr. Kemel Ghotme on Instagram Dr. Kemel Ghotme on LinkedInConnect:Future Fork podcast websitePaul Newnham on InstagramPaul Newnham on XPaul Newnham on LinkedInDisruptive Consulting Solutions websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub on XSDG2 Advocacy Hub on FacebookSDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn

Il progetto del murales, su un muro lungo una decina di metri, lo hanno ideato i familiari di 200 persone uccise dalle forze armate colombiane tra il 2005 e il 2008. E lo scorso 27 marzo, a realizzarlo sono stati 11 tra i responsabili di quegli assassini e sparizioni forzate. Valorizzare la memoria e costruire un paese che non ripeta gli orrori del passato, sono alcuni degli obiettivi che si prefigge la JEP, la Giurisdizione Speciale per la Pace nata in Colombia dopo gli accordi di pace tra il governo e la guerriglia delle FARC EP. La missione istituzionale di questo organo è di indagare ed emettere sentenze sugli innumerevoli crimini di guerra commessi nel paese negli ultimi 50 anni: genocidi, sparizioni forzate, riduzione in schiavitù, violenze di genere, sequestri.Come accaduto in Sudafrica dopo la fine dell'apartheid i principi a cui ci si ispira sono quelli della giustizia riparativa: una lunga serie di incontri tra le vittime e i responsabili delle atrocità, l'assunzione pubblica delle responsabilità e la possibilità per le vittime di avere un ruolo centrale nel processo.Due scarpe sinistre è un audio documentario che racconta uno dei tanti filoni di indagine di cui si occupa la Giurisdizione Speciale per la Pace (JEP) in Colombia: quello delle migliaia di cittadini giustiziati dall'esercito e poi travestiti da guerriglieri uccisi in combattimento. Con Doris Tejada madre di Oscar Morales Tejada, Catalina Diaz, magistrata JEP, Blanca Nubia Monroy madre di Julian Oviedo Monroy.

Newly appointed captain Harry Kane scored twice against Tunisia in a stadium filled with buzzing midges, completed a hat-trick during England's huge victory over Panama and kept his cool during a dramatic penalty shootout against Colombia. There were last-minute goals, enormous pressure, inflatable unicorns and a famous night when England finally won a World Cup penalty shootout for the very first time. England's adventure ended with semi-final heartbreak against Croatia, but Kane finished the tournament with six goals and the Golden Boot. The captain had arrived on football's biggest stage. But his World Cup journey was only just beginning.

Abelardo de la Espriella viene de una familia tradicional de Sahagún, Córdoba, con sus raíces en Cartagena y en la diáspora italiana y siriolibanesa que llegó a esa zona del Caribe. Hoy conversamos con el profesor Andrés Ramos Cabrales de la Universidad del Sinú, autor del libro "El Sinú en la época de la madera". Hablamos sobre la historia del departamento de Córdoba, de la transformación del ecosistema a finales del siglo XIX de una selva rica en maderas finas como la caoba, a las praderas ganaderas que se ven el día de hoy, y de las 'casas' en que se ha dividido la política cordobesa desde que el departamento se fundó en 1951 -al separarse de Bolívar- como una bisagra entre el Caribe y Antioquia. Déjà vu es un podcast de opinión de La Silla Podcast.La dirección es de Alejandro Lloreda y Luis Guillermo Vélez.La coordinación periodística y de podcast de La Silla Vacía es de Tatiana Duque.La producción es de Angy Usme y Fernando Cruz.Foto: Facebook de Abelardo de la Espriella.Cada quince días un nuevo episodio.Más de La Silla Podcast: Escuche aquí la Siguiente Movida.¿Quiere aprender de podcast, hacer un podcast como este o grabar sus contenidos sonoros?En La Silla Vacía le ayudamos y le damos las herramientas.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
