63rd Governor of Kentucky
POPULARITY
C'est une enquête fouillée du Financial Times sur le trafic d'armes à destination des gangs. Le journal a tenté de remonter la filière, ces armes de gros calibre venant principalement des États-Unis, et notamment de Floride. Selon un expert interrogé par le Financial Times, ces armes changent totalement la donne : elles donnent aux gangs une puissance de feu supérieure à celle de la police haïtienne. D'après le journal, ce qui « alimente le bain de sang » dans le pays (plus de 5 000 meurtres en 2024 selon l'ONU), c'est justement l'arsenal croissant d'armes de type militaires des gangs. Ces armes sont transportées de Miami en Haïti par bateau dans les containers. Miami est devenue selon le Financial Times « la principale plaque tournante de la contrebande d'armes vers Haïti ». Ce trafic est facilité par la législation de Floride, très laxiste en la matière. La cruelle médiatisation des Vénézuéliens expulsés au Salvador C'est le rendez-vous de l'été : tous les vendredis, les journalistes de RFI qui couvrent l'actualité des Amériques viennent nous parler de ce qui les a marqués cette année sur le continent. Lila Olkinuora revient sur la méditation de l'expulsion de migrants Vénézuéliens au Salvador. En mars 2025, Kristi Noem, secrétaire à la Sécurité intérieure des États-Unis, s'est rendue au Salvador pour visiter le CECOT, une gigantesque prison de haute sécurité inaugurée en 2023. Dans une mise en scène soigneusement calibrée, elle apparaît en haut blanc impeccable, casquette vissée sur la tête et montre de luxe au poignet, face à des dizaines de détenus au crâne rasé et tatouages dissimulés sous des masques chirurgicaux. Objectif : envoyer un message clair aux migrants potentiels et aux criminels présumés. Une médiatisation alimentée aussi par le président salvadorien Nayib Bukele. Il a diffusé sur X la vidéo de l'arrivée de 238 prisonniers transférés des États-Unis : menottés, encadrés par des militaires armés, têtes rasées sous des néons, vêtus de blanc et dirigés vers leurs cellules. Ces images, au ton spectaculaire et martial, s'inscrivent dans la communication musclée que Nayib Bukele entretient quotidiennement sur les réseaux sociaux. Une stratégie qui lui vaut plus de 80% d'opinions favorables dans son pays, mais qui inquiète les organisations de défense des droits humains : près de 3% de la population adulte est aujourd'hui emprisonnée au Salvador. La réforme constitutionnelle au Salvador : « ce soir, la démocratie est morte » Le Parlement salvadorien, dominé par les partisans du président Nayib Bukele, a adopté hier (31 juillet 2025) une réforme constitutionnelle qui abolit la limite du nombre de mandats du chef de l'État et lui permet de se représenter indéfiniment. Cette réforme a été adoptée par les 57 députés pro-Bukele, les trois seuls élus d'opposition ayant voté contre. Elle prévoit aussi l'abolition du second tour de scrutin, et l'allongement du mandat présidentiel de cinq à six ans. Cette réforme fait beaucoup réagir dans la presse salvadorienne. La Prensa Gráfica dénonce la décision de la majorité parlementaire, qu'elle considère comme un grave recul démocratique. Dans son éditorial, le quotidien estime que les mesures adoptées visent à consolider un pouvoir hégémonique, réduire la concurrence électorale et caler le calendrier politique sur les besoins du président et de son parti au détriment des institutions démocratiques. Le journal met en garde contre une concentration du pouvoir qui fragilisera l'espace civique. Le risque, écrit-il, c'est de transformer le système en un quasi-parti unique. Dans le quotidien El Mundo, la députée d'opposition Marcela Villatoro accuse le gouvernement d'avoir – je cite – « fait tomber les masques ». Désormais, selon elle, les élections ne seront plus qu'un simulacre démocratique, le pouvoir étant réservé à quelques-uns. Et d'ajouter : « Ce soir, je peux dire qu'il est déjà trop tard… En cette fin de journée, la démocratie dans ce pays est morte. » Kamala Harris et Joe Biden reviennent sur le devant de la scène L'ancienne vice‑présidente et candidate malheureuse à la présidentielle de 2024 publiera le 23 septembre 2025 un livre intitulé 107 Days – 107 jours – dans lequel elle revient sur la campagne présidentielle la plus courte de l'histoire récente du pays. Selon le New York Times, ce récit est nourri de souvenirs et de réflexions sur l'avenir. Et d'après l'éditeur Simon & Schuster, il se distingue des mémoires politiques classiques, avec un ton qui rappelle plutôt une série comme The West Wing. Pour donner à ses souvenirs une touche plus romanesque, Kamala Harris a même collaboré avec la romancière Geraldine Brooks, prix Pulitzer. Et cette annonce de livre tombe au moment où Kamala Harris confirme qu'elle ne sera pas candidate au poste de gouverneure de Californie en 2026. Un choix qu'elle a expliqué hier soir dans le Late Show de Stephen Colbert, où elle est venue présenter son ouvrage. Ses propos, en tout cas, laissent la porte grande ouverte à une candidature pour 2028. Et c'est loin de faire l'unanimité dans le camp démocrate. Beaucoup voudraient tourner la page de 2024, explique Politico. D'autant que Joe Biden lui aussi revient sur le devant de la scène : ses récentes attaques contre Donald Trump sont largement reprises par les médias. Une présence persistante qui complique la tâche de nouvelles figures démocrates qui aimeraient s'imposer pour 2028. Politico cite notamment les gouverneurs Andy Beshear du Kentucky, JB Pritzker de l'Illinois et le sénateur Ruben Gallego de l'Arizona, qui multiplient les déplacements et les prises de position. L'élevage intense du saumon au Chili inquiète les pécheurs Le Chili est le deuxième producteur de saumons d'élevage au monde, après la Norvège. Il en produit plus d'un million de tonnes par an, et la majorité est exportée vers les États-Unis, le Canada ou encore la Chine. C'est une industrie en pleine croissance. Les entreprises se déploient désormais vers l'extrême sud et la région de Magellan. Problème : les pêcheurs, communautés autochtones et organisations de défense d'environnement dénoncent une industrie polluante qui détruit les écosystèmes marins de Patagonie. Un reportage de Marion Esnault. Journal de la 1ère La Martinique lance une campagne contre la violence.
In a world awash with disinformation and fear-based politics, what cuts through the noise isn't perfection; it's authenticity. As Erin Reed, a trailblazing journalist and trans rights advocate, puts it: the most effective leaders and allies are the ones who show up with sincerity, values, and courage. Reed knows this from experience. Alongside her wife, Montana state legislator Zooey Zephyr, they've faced the harshest forms of political repression, from being silenced in state chambers to watching harmful laws passed in the name of "protecting" sports or children. And yet, their fight continues, fueled by love, clarity, and hope. So how can you support the trans community in meaningful ways? Stand Firm in Your Values – Democratic Party leaders especially shouldn't be “Republican-lite” or speak through the filter of 12 consultants. Speak from the heart, like Kentucky's Andy Beshear, who stood up for trans rights and still won big in a deep red state. Educate Yourself and Others – Learn the real facts. Trans athletes aren't “cheating.” They're barely even represented in elite sports. Medical care for trans youth isn't a free-for-all; it's cautious, professional, and consent-driven. And no, no one is performing surgeries in school cafeterias. Be Visible. Be Vocal. – When institutions cave to pressure and erase diversity programs, allies must speak up. Trans people aren't always in the room, but you might be. Build Solidarity – Globally and locally. Anti-trans disinformation spreads across borders. So should our support. Reach out to advocate groups abroad and build an international coalition of support and solidarity. History is watching. As Reed reminds us, this is our civil rights moment. Whether you're an activist, a parent, a lawmaker, or a friend, your genuineness, your voice, and your love can help shape a more just future. All it takes is a spark.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear talks with Brian and Trisha at the Kentucky Derby Museum as part of AT&T Morning Line 2025.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court determined that Garcia's deportation was, in part, the result of an “administrative error” and that he should be returned to the United States—though, after the error is corrected, the man would ultimately be eligible for deportation anyway. While speaking with the press, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller denied an administrative error ever occurred. The Trump Administration also noted that because Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 6:10pm- A 38-year-old Harrisburg man was charged with setting fire to the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion. According to reports, the man threw two Molotov cocktails into the residence and planned to beat Governor Josh Shapiro with a hammer. Thankfully, Shapiro and his family were unharmed. President Donald Trump condemned the act and stated: “A thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.” 6:15pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump said there is plenty of blame to go around for the longevity of the war between Russia and Ukraine—emphasizing that Russia is obviously at fault for invading, and Ukraine/Joe Biden are at fault for not seeking a peace agreement. 6:20pm- While appearing on CNN's State of the Union with Jake Tapper, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett revealed that 130 countries have reached out to the White House about negotiating new trade deals. 6:30pm- Is Hollywood out of ideas? A new Wall Street Journal piece notes that original movies are struggling at the box office—which could be why we are constantly getting reboots, sequels, and movies based-upon popular video games, like “A Minecraft Movie.” Warner Bros. is expected to reboot “Gremlins” and “Goonies” in the next couple years. 6:40pm- Jim Acosta has a podcast?!?! So does Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear…and Chuck Todd. Does anyone other than Matt listen to these? 6:45pm- Breaking News: According to The New York Times, the White House is expected to ask Congress to rescind $1.1 billion in federal funding for NPR and PBS.
