Zohran Mamdani lied on his college application and said he was black. Full stop. Democrats just lost their favored hero to bring socialism to NYC. Wife beating gang banging MS-13 human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia says he's been beaten and starved in prison. El Salvador's Nayib Bukele has the receipts to prove him a liar. Good News will make you cry.
Así deportó Nayib Bukele de El Salvador al reportero Daniel Lízarraga El Faro es el medio más importante de El Salvador. En plena pandemia de COVID 19, el reportero mexicano Daniel Lizárraga, famoso por el reportaje La Casa Blanca de Peña Nieto, fue invitado a trasladarse a la capital salvadoreña para formar parte del equipo de ese portal periodístico de fama mundial. Le duró bien poco el gusto: Nayib Bukele, el polémico presidente de ese país, ordenó su deportación, como una más de sus maneras de acosar a El Faro.

In the past month or so, President Nayib Bukele's government has sharply intensified its repression of civil society and independent voices in El Salvador. Journalists have been forced into exile, civil society organizations are being weakened by a new Foreign Agents Law, and former officials, activists, and NGO workers are being jailed on dubious charges. These developments mark a new phase in Bukele's crackdown—one that relies not only on emergency powers but increasingly on legal and financial tools to silence dissent. In this episode, Juliana Rubio sits down with Leonor Arteaga Rubio, Program Director at the Due Process of Law Foundation. Together, they discuss what recent arrests and crackdowns in El Salvador mean for the remaining checks on government power. They also explore how civil society has adapted in order to continue raising alarms about corruption and abuse of power.
Aujourd'hui dans le podcast, l'équipe reçoit Jérôme Blanchet-Gravel, rédacteur en chef de Libre Média, pour une discussion approfondie sur divers sujets d'actualité, tant nationale qu'internationale, avec un accent particulier sur le monde latin. On discute avec lui de son périple au Salvador, ce pays d'Amérique centrale qui fait beaucoup parler de lui au cours des dernières années depuis l'élection, puis la révolution sécuritaire entreprise par son président Nayib Bukele. Est-ce un modèle à suivre ou une prospérité artificielle ?DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on commence en écoutant l'attachée de presse de la Maison-Blanche, Karoline Leavitt, qui dément un article de CNN à propos d'un potentiel leak d'un rapport confidentiel qui contredirait le message officiel sur la destruction des sites nucléaires Iraniens par les États-Unis. Ensuite, on commente et analyse en détail le dernier sondage Léger Marketing sur les intentions de vote provinciales au Québec, ainsi qu'un sondage similaire concernant les intentions de vote en Colombie-Britannique. On termine en lisant deux articles de PiluleRouge, l'un sur l'investissement du fédéral dans l'armée canadienne, l'autre sur l'ultimatum lancé par l'Alberta au gouvernement fédéral, puis on poursuit l'écoute du montage de Joey des interventions de Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon au podcast Contact de Stéphan Bureau.0:00 Intro 0:48 Jérôme de retour du Salvador 3:49 Une révolution sécuritaire 14:00 Une comparaison avec l'Argentine 21:13 Taux d'homicide par 100 000 habitants 24:51 Indicateur de la liberté d'expression 28:12 Une surprise sur le terrain ? 32:36 La situation politique en Iran 41:18 Lecture pandémique du conflit Israël-Iran 51:18 Conclusion
La presidencia de Nayib Bukele en El Salvador y su escalada hacia el autoritarismo bajo el pretexto de la seguridad pública, es una de las transformaciones políticas más controversiales de América Latina. El hartazgo de la población con décadas de violencia, los ha llevado a aceptar restricciones a las libertades a cambio de seguridad. Carlos Martínez, periodista de El Faro, nos habla al respecto.
From May 9, 2023: Since March 2022, El Salvador has been under a state of exception as its President Nayib Bukele seeks to crack down on the country's powerful gangs. Bukele, who once described himself on Twitter as the “world's coolest dictator,” has engaged in a prolonged attack on El Salvador's democratic institutions. And the crackdown has resulted in a range of human rights abuses. At the same time, Bukele really does seem to have been successful in curbing gang violence, and his popularity is sky high. To understand the situation in El Salvador, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic spoke with Manuel Meléndez-Sánchez, a PhD candidate in Political Science at Harvard University who has written about Bukele on Lawfare. They discussed why Bukele's crackdown on the gangs seems to be working, why it might fall apart in the long term, and what Bukele's rise means for democracy in El Salvador and around the world.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

48 de cada 100 salvadoreños creen que una persona que critique al gobierno o al presidente Nayib Bukele podría ser detenida o encarcelada, según la más reciente encuesta del Instituto Universitario de Opinión Pública (Iudop) de la Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas, la UCA. En este episodio, exploramos los contrastes de un país donde las personas se sienten seguras pero donde más de la mitad de la pobliación esconde su opinión política. También abordamos los nuevos casos de miasis humana confirmados por el Ministerio de Salud y qué sectores de la población están en mayor riesgo. Finalmente abordamos los datos donde organizaciones civiles reportan al menos 38 muertes violentas no registradas oficialmente entre marzo y mayo.El Resumen es un podcast original de El Faro.

Nayib Bukele came to power in El Salvador in 2019, winning outright in the first round of presidential elections. Since then, he has steadily consolidated his control. Bukele's party has dominated the National Assembly since 2021. In 2022, he declared a state of emergency, which remains in effect to this day. He also pressured the Supreme Court to allow him to run for a second term – previously prohibited by the Constitution. Despite concerns over his human rights record, Bukele enjoys overwhelming popularity, with polls showing over 80 percent approval. Since the start of the state of emergency, more than 400 inmates have died in jail. This year, he began constructing a new mega-prison to house hundreds of illegal migrants deported by the United States and labelled terrorists. Six years into his presidency, FRANCE 24 takes a look at the Bukele phenomenon. Laurence Cuvillier and Matthieu Comin report.

Twelve years ago, few outside Latin America knew of Nayib Bukele, then the young mayor of a small town outside San Salvador. Today, the media-savvy Bukele proudly calls himself the "world's coolest dictator" as president of El Salvador. He and his Nuevas Ideas (New Ideas) party control all the levers of power. His regime has a horrendous human rights record, exemplified by the massive CECOT prison that has room to incarcerate 40,000 people. In April, Bukele was warmly welcomed into the Oval Office by President Trump, who lavishly praised the Latin American autocrat because of, not despite, his dictatorial excesses. In this episode, historian Gema Kloppe-Santamaria explains Bukele's meteoric political rise in a country once ravaged by civil war and gang violence. Gema Kloppe-Santamaria is a sociologist and historian specializing in violence and crime, focusing on Central America and Mexico. She is a Lecturer in Sociology at University College Cork and an Associate Research Professor of Latin American History at George Washington University.

Deze week werden in El Salvador drie mannen veroordeeld voor de moord op de vier Nederlandse journalisten in 1982. Deze uitspraak lijkt El Salvador op de kaart te zetten als een land waar het recht zegeviert, en president Nayib Bukele als de man die staat voor strijd tegen onrecht en misdaad. Maar uitgerekend in dezelfde week moesten de laatste kritische journalisten als dieven in de nacht het land verlaten om niet te worden opgepakt.

En El Salvador, se cerró este martes 3 de junio un caso que ocurrió 43 años atrás: el asesinato de cuatro periodistas holandeses asesinados por militares en 1982 durante la guerra civil. Tres exjefes militares - un general exministro de Defensa, un exdirector de policía y un excomandate de brigada - fueron condenados a 15 años de prisión por asesinato. Cuatro décadas después de los hechos, se cierra finalmente el caso del asesinato de cuatro periodistas holandeses en El Salvador durante la guerra civil. Tres exmilitares de 85, 91 y 93 años de edad fueron sentenciados este martes a 15 años de cárcel por asesinato. El Tribunal condenó además al Estado salvadoreño por la retardación de justicia y exigió al presidente Nayib Bukele que pida perdón en nombre de las Fuerzas Armadas. Las familias de las víctimas tuvieron que esperar años para obtener justicia, según explicó a RFI Óscar Pérez, presidente de la Fundación Comunicándonos y abogado de los familiares. “El estado de impunidad que vive El Salvador es el principal obstáculo para que las víctimas del conflicto pasado puedan garantizarse verdad y justicia en sus casos”, aseguró. “Primero fue una ley de amnistía que quería borrón y cuenta nueva, amnesia total sobre los crímenes de lesa humanidad que habían sucedido. Y luego está la falta de voluntad política”. Los cuatro periodistas holandeses se encontraban en El Salvador documentando lo que era la guerra civil. Su reportaje consistía en “entrevistar a las familias del área rural de El Salvador para preguntarles cómo vivían en ese momento”, recordó Pérez.“Iban a responder que precisamente eran objeto de grave violación a los derechos humanos por los bombardeos, por los operativos, por las ametrallamientos que vivían diariamente por parte de la fuerza armada del Salvador”, detalló."Periodistas incómodos"Además, Koos Koster, Jan Kuiper, Hans ter Laag y Joop Willemsen iban a entrevistar a entrevistar a dirigentes del FMNL. “Este tipo de reportajes molestaba al gobierno de turno, sobre todo gobernado por militares, y entonces fue así como decidieron que eran periodistas incómodos. Por lo tanto, planificaron la emboscada y los aniquilaron completamente”. Óscar Pérez considera que todavía queda mucho por hacer para obtener justicia en otros casos de crímenes de lesa humanidad de la época de la guerra civil en El Salvador. “Hay más de 200 casos que exigen verdad y justicia y que están presentados ante la fiscalía General de la República de El Salvador, y yo creo que en ese sentido, este caso empuja esos casos”.
Le président américain Donald Trump a décidé d'interdire aux ressortissants de 12 pays d'entrer aux États-Unis afin de « protéger » le pays de « terroristes étrangers », et imposé des restrictions contre 7 autres États. Décision annoncée, a-t-il précisé, après l'attaque du Colorado qui a visé les participants d'une marche de soutien aux otages israéliens à Gaza. Parmi la liste des pays dont les ressortissants seront interdits d'entrer sur le territoire à partir du 9 juin 2025, se trouve Haïti. Pour le moment, il y a de la confusion en Haïti, constate le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, Frantz Duval. On essaie de comprendre s'il y a des exceptions. Le gouvernement haïtien est resté silencieux. C'est le deuxième pays à interdire son territoire aux Haïtiens, avant les États-Unis, la République Dominicaine avait pris une mesure similaire. Le Venezuela met en garde ses citoyensLe Venezuela et Cuba se trouvent eux sur la liste des 7 pays qui sont soumis à des restrictions plutôt qu'à une interdiction totale. Le président américain juge que ces derniers ont des vérifications d'antécédents criminels déficients, explique TalCual. Le média vénézuélien tente d'expliquer à ses lecteurs qui sera impacté ou non. Toute personne titulaire d'un visa de tourisme, de travail, ou d'étudiant se trouvant hors des États-Unis verra son visa annulé.Il n'y a que quelques exceptions concernant, par exemple, les sportifs de haut niveau ou les diplomates.En réaction, Caracas a prévenu ses ressortissants que voyager aux États-Unis représentait «un grand risque». Nouvelles mesures contre les universités américainesParallèlement, El Nacional vénézuélien choisi de rappeler aujourd'hui le cas particulier de l'Université américaine d'Harvard. Aucun étudiant étranger participant au programme d'échange avec Harvard ne sera autorisé à entrer sur le territoire. Ceux déjà présents sur le territoire feront l'objet d'un examen, et pourraient voir leur visa révoqué.L'administration Trump poursuit en effet son offensive contre les grandes universités américaines, qu'il qualifie de «foyer du libéralisme et du «wokisme»». En plus de restreindre l'accès d'Harvard aux étudiants étrangers, il a également retiré près de 3 milliards de dollars de subventions fédérales à la grande université. La prestigieuse université de New York, Columbia est également visée. La ministre américaine de l'Éducation l'a annoncé hier dans un communiqué. Selon Linda McMahon, «depuis le 7 octobre 2023, Columbia fait preuve d'indifférence face au harcèlement des étudiants juifs, l'université viole les lois fédérales contre la discrimination et pourrait perdre son accréditation». Une suppression qui entrainerait une perte de toutes les subventions fédérales de l'Université. Depuis plus d'un an, Columbia est l'épicentre des manifestations pro-palestiniennes aux États-Unis. En mars, Mahmoud Khalil, figure du mouvement et étudiant de l'Université new-yorkaise, a d'ailleurs été placé dans un centre de détention fédéral en Louisiane. Il risque l'expulsion.Si Columbia a annoncé qu'elle allait collaborer avec le gouvernement fédéral, la direction d'Harvard, elle, a choisi une autre stratégie. Elle dénonce une nouvelle mesure de rétorsion illégale. Et déclare qu'elle continuera à protéger ses étudiants internationaux. Lula à la recherche d'un accord de Libre-échange à ParisLe président brésilien Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva en visite d'État à Paris a exhorté ce jeudi son homologue français à « conclure » l'accord de libre-échange entre le Mercosur et l'Union européenne.L'accord de libre-échange entre l'UE et le Mercosur est la meilleure réponse dans un monde incertain marqué par le retour de l'unilatéralisme a estimé le chef d'État brésilien, une référence aux droits de douane et à la guerre commerciale déclenchée par Donald Trump ces derniers mois.Emmanuel Macron a écouté ce plaidoyer avec le sourire, rapporte notre envoyé spécial à l'Elysée Théo Conscience, mais est resté ferme sur ses positions : la France est en faveur d'un commerce libre, et équitable. Le président français a pointé du doigt des différences de normes sanitaires et environnementales entre les deux blocs, et plaidé pour l'introduction de clauses miroir ou de mesures de sauvegardes. Au Salvador, l'avocate des droits humains Ruth Lopez refuse de plier face aux autorités«On ne me fera pas taire», a crié la directrice de l'Unité anticorruption et juste de l'ONG Cristosal en se rendant à son audience à huis clos. C'est le seul moment où les médias ont pu enregistrer sa voix à la volée.Elle réclame d'ailleurs un procès public.Arrêtée il y a trois semaines, son affaire a été placée par la justice sous un statut de confidentialité. Elle a été officiellement accusée de détournement de fonds publics mais son avocat dénonce une volonté de la faire taire. Ruth Lopez est connue comme une grande voix critique des autorités au Salvador, explique CNN Latinoamérica qui propose un portrait de la militante. Elle s'est rapidement opposée au régime d'exception mis en place par Nayib Bukele officiellement pour lutter contre les gangs. «Il n'y a aucune justification constitutionnelle ni légale pour maintenir ce régime d'exception», plaidait-elle déjà en 2022. «Nous ne défendons pas les gangs, nous défendons les personnes arrêtées injustement et dans des conditions arbitraires.»Ces derniers temps, Ruth Lopez s'était concentrée sur la défense des 252 migrants vénézuéliens emprisonnés au Salvador après leur expulsion des États-Unis. Les deux pays les accusent de faire partie de gangs et les ont soumis à des disparitions forcées, selon Human Rights Watch.L'arrestation a d'ailleurs mobilisé de nombreuses organisations de défense des droits humains nationale et internationale.Mercredi (4 juin 2025), sa détention a été prolongée pour 6 mois, rapporte El Mundo du Salvador. L'accusation est passée de détournement de fonds publics à enrichissement illicite. En sortant de l'audience, Ruth Lopez a crié qu'elle était une prisonnière politique et qu'aucune institution judiciaire n'était indépendante au Salvador.La Prensa Grafica résume l'analyse de plusieurs avocats pénaliste sur cette affaire. Ils dénoncent notamment l'illégalité du changement de qualification de l'accusation contre Ruth Lopez. L'enrichissement illicite demanderait moins de preuve que l'accusation de détournement de fonds publics. L'avocat de la militante lui affirme que les autorités tentent simplement de faire taire une voix qui les effraie.

Live from the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, RugPull Radio host GMoney sits down with special guest Ryan Matta for a firestorm of truth, tech, and tyranny. The episode opens with a bombshell: Badlands Media has officially added Bitcoin to its strategic reserves, rejecting fiat dependency to assert financial sovereignty. Matta shares his personal evolution, from Bitcoin YouTuber to whistleblower journalist, exposing government-backed child trafficking networks and the cover-ups that surround them. The conversation dives into the transformative story of El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele, the weaponization of Bitcoin to dismantle MS-13, and the global stakes in what Matta calls a peaceful Digital 1776 revolution. They explore Bitcoin's role in empowering grassroots humanitarian efforts like El Salvador's House of Life, the moral cost of fiat, and the strategic shift in Trumpworld toward Bitcoin maximalism. From geopolitics and media corruption to the future of church finances and disaster relief through sats and geo-zapping, this episode doesn't just connect the dots, it draws the entire map. With explosive insights on how to opt out of clown world and build a sovereign parallel economy, this one's pure orange-pilled fire.
Este episódio analisa possíveis saídas para o campo democrático diante do avanço da extrema-direita no Brasil e no mundo.O avanço da extrema-direita com tendências autoritárias tem causado perplexidade no campo democrático, em especial, nos setores mais progressistas. Forças políticas tradicionalmente associadas à esquerda parecem incapazes de se opor de maneira eficiente e duradoura ao avanço de figuras como Donald Trump, Nayib Bukele e Jair Bolsonaro.Para tentar entender o que está por trás desse fenômeno e quais são as saídas para os setores democráticos e de esquerda, conversamos com quatro analistas políticos dividimos o episódio em três partes.Na primeira, são apresentados alguns dos fatores que que ajudaram a extrema direita a se estabelecer. Na segunda, o foco é na criação de um sistema paralelo de comunicação e no uso da desinformação como arma. E, na última, são apresentadas propostas para o futuro da esquerda e a manutenção da democracia.Mergulhe mais fundoMenos Marx, mais Mises: O liberalismo e a nova direita no Brasil (link para compra)Limites da democracia: De junho de 2013 ao governo Bolsonaro (link para compra)O pobre de direita: A vingança dos bastardos (link para compra)Episódios relacionados#71: Por que votam no mito?#79: Os pobres de direita e o futuro da política#126: O futuro(?) com TrumpEntrevistados do episódioJessé SouzaSociólogo e escritor.

LATE SUNDAY NIGHT, police in El Salvador arrested one of President Nayib Bukele's sharpest critics, Ruth Eleonora López, an anti-corruption attorney who has spent years exposing government abuses. “[She] is one of the strongest voices in defense of democracy,” says Noah Bullock, her colleague and the executive director of Cristosal, a human rights group operating in northern Central America, including El Salvador. López, a university professor and former elections official, heads Cristosal's anti-corruption unit. She has also been an outspoken critic of Bukele's crackdown on gang violence that has resulted in “arbitrary detentions, human rights violations,” and the imprisonment of people not connected to gangs, according to Cristosal. The organization has documented widespread abuses in the country's prison system. “There's a clear pattern of physical abuse, and on top of that, a clear pattern of systematic denial of basic necessities like food, water, bathrooms, medicine — medical care in general," says Bullock. “Those two factors have combined to cause the deaths of at least 380 people” in custody in recent years. That's a prison system “that's been contracted by the U.S. government,” Bullock adds. This week on The Intercept Briefing, Bullock speaks to host Jessica Washington about López's continued imprisonment and what her work and detention reveals about the Trump administration's interest in El Salvador's prison system. Facing vague corruption charges, López has seen her family and lawyer but not yet a judge. “The type of jails and the prison system that the United States has contracted is one of a dictatorship — one that operates outside of the rule of law,” says Bullock. But El Salvador isn't the only country the U.S. is looking to partner with to outsource immigration detention. “Now in addition to El Salvador, the U.S. has reportedly explored, sought, or struck deals with at least 19 other countries,” says Nick Turse, national security fellow for The Intercept. “Many of these countries,” says Turse, “have been excoriated by not only human rights groups and NGOs, but also the U.S. State Department.”“ These policies did not leap fully formed from the head of Donald Trump,” says Turse. They have a legacy largely stemming from the post-9/11 counterterrorism policies of the George W. Bush administration. “The Trump administration has expanded the Bush and Obama-era terrorism paradigm to cast immigrants and refugees as terrorists and as gang members,” says Turse.Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

No cabe duda: Nayib Bukele ha terminado de mudar la piel. Y es "cada vez menos cool y más autoritario", tal cual lo describe Daniel Zovatto, experto internacional en política electoral. Solo en los últimos días la deriva totalitaria de quien ejerce el control de todos los poderes del estado salvadoreño ha mostrado sus ímpetus persecutorios sin disimulos para acallar las disidencias de cualquier tipo, utilizando para ello a entidades como la policía militar, la fiscalía general y el Congreso. En cuanto a las herramientas ya en uso desde hace mucho tiempo, se hace "común" el espionaje telefónico y los ataques digitales. Veamos algunos de los últimos hechos: el domingo pasado fue arrestada la reconocida activista de Derechos Humanos Ruth López con una burda acusación de peculado. López fue destacada por la BBC de Londres como una de las 100 mujeres más inspiradoras e influentes del 2024. Ella es jefa de la unidad de Anticorrupción y Justicia de la organización Cristosal y una crítica acérrima contra la corrupción en la gestión del presidente salvadoreño. Seis días antes, el 12 de mayo la policía militar dispersó por la fuerza una manifestación de humildes parceleros de la Cooperativa El Bosque quienes solo fueron a pedir en las cercanías de la lujosa residencia presidencial, que el mandatario interviniera para que no los desalojaran de su propiedad por un caso judicializado dos décadas atrás. El presidente y el abogado de la cooperativa fueron arrestados. Organizaciones ambientales y de derechos humanos reclamaron estas detenciones arbitrarias y Bukele les respondió enviando a la Asamblea Legislativa una "Ley de Agentes Extranjeros" que en definitiva impone un gravamen del 30% a las ONG para intentar ahogarlas financieramente. Y solo otro ejemplo más: una publicación del periódico El Faro (el medio más inaceptable, por independiente, para Bukele) difundió recientemente declaraciones sorprendentes de dos líderes de la banda Barrio 18 Revolucionarios, quienes precisaron detalles sobre las negociaciones que mantuvieron en su día para apoyar el proyecto político de Bukele cuando llegó a la Presidencia, cómo acordaron con el gobierno la administración de los homicidios, las extorsiones y hasta el encierro de los ciudadanos durante la pandemia y cómo, finalmente, los sacaron del país, cuando terminó la tregua pactada. Días después, de esas revelaciones, Carlos Dada, Director de El Faro denunció que recibió una alerta de posibles órdenes de captura contra siete periodistas. Varios salieron del país como medida de protección y precisamente con uno de ellos, Oscar Martínez, conversamos en Hablando Claro.
El Salvador was once the murder capital of the world. Now under President Nayib Bukele, it's safer than Canada. But with 2% of its population locked up -- what is the real cost of this newfound safety?
Tommy and Ben discuss President Trump's policy changes on Syria and his man-crush on its president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, what lifting sanctions on Syria could (and should) look like, more details on how Qatar's plane bribe came together, and Tulsi Gabbard's shocking politicization of the intelligence community. They also talk about the continuing crackdown on journalists and human rights activists by Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, the dire–and indefensible–humanitarian situation in Gaza, the lack of any meaningful progress in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and elections in Portugal, Romania and Poland.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has made a lot of headlines recently in the United States for his partnership with the Trump administration. Bukele has helped enable President Trump's scheme to remove supposed Venezuelan gang members from the U.S. under the Alien Enemies Act, housing these detainees in the notorious CECOT prison. In court, the Justice Department has claimed it has no ability to request that Bukele return these detainees to the United States, even after Bukele posed for photos next to Trump in the Oval Office.The use of CECOT is key to the Trump administration's effort to paint migrants as dangerous criminals. But what is Bukele getting out of the scheme, and what do things look like from within El Salvador? To understand this, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic spoke with Noah Bullock, Executive Director of the Central American human rights organization Cristosal. Their conversation places CECOT in context of broader efforts by Bukele to consolidate his power and erode Salvadoran democracy. It also addresses Bukele's ongoing crackdown on dissent in El Salvador over the last week—a crackdown that most recently included the sudden arrest on March 18 of Noah's colleague Ruth López, who heads Cristosal's anti-corruption work.

El director ejecutivo de la ONG Cristosal, Noah Bullock, analizó en Conclusiones los factores que podrían haber motivado la detención de Ruth Eleonora López, jefa de la Unidad de Anticorrupción y Justicia de Cristosal. Bullock asegura que el arresto, por presunto peculado, en realidad se debería a que López "es incómoda" para el Gobierno de Nayib Bukele, ya que su trabajo consiste hacer visible la corrupción. CNN ha solicitado a la Fiscalía más detalles del caso y está a la espera de respuesta. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to Gaslit Nation, where the firestorm of corruption meets the firehose of resistance. Terrell Starr of the Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack, recently home from Ukraine–the frontline of showing the world how to stand up and fight, joins Andrea to discuss how good Democrats, and We the People they serve, have a lot of power, if we remain defiant. Senator Chris Van Hollen provided an urgent reminder of this as he warned El Salvador's wannabe strongman Nayib Bukele: the U.S. isn't the only power player in the world, and the international community is watching. This came after Van Hollen was denied access to the Maryland man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, abducted by Trump's agents, wrongfully deported, and sent illegally to El Salvador's notorious gulag. Yet Van Hollen didn't back down. Even with the White House under occupation by a Russian asset, we still wield power. The energy in the country is shifting. Over 1,500 “Hands Off!” marches just shook the ground in all 50 states, powered by everyone from labor unions to LGBTQ+ activists to veterans' groups. One Southern white man waved a giant American flag with a giant Ukrainian flag at a protest in Virginia, while wearing a MAGA-looking red cap that said: “My Grandpa Killed Nazis.” Trump's approval is slipping. The push for impeachment is gaining steam thanks to the grassroots movement CitizensImpeachment.com. And while spineless Republicans like Lisa Murkowski make excuses instead of calling for the impeachment of a lawless would-be dictator, people are waking up. We're in a fight for accountability, truth, and justice, and we will win. Don't let disillusionment or complacency stop you from building a world that's fair, just, and truly livable for everyone. We're not just witnessing history. We're shaping it. So let's keep pushing. Join a Tesla Takedown protest near you, demand your reps in the House call for impeachment, help good people run for office and primary Do-Nothing Dems, ignore the cynical edge lords, and stay creative and defiant as we shine our collective light.

The Trump administration's efforts to deport migrants it says are gang members have hit several legal roadblocks in recent days. Federal judges and the Supreme Court have blocked the government from deporting more migrants under a seldom used, 18th-century wartime law. El Salvador is now key to this deportation policy. Salvadoran president, Nayib Bukele, has accepted hundreds of people deported from the U.S., including people not from either country. It's holding most of those men at a massive prison meant for terrorists called "CECOT." For this installment of our series, "If You Can Keep It," where we take a closer look at the state of our democracy, we discuss how Bukele runs his country and what he gains from assisting Trump. We also take a closer look at the laws the Trump administration is using to justify its immigration enforcement strategies. Want to support 1A?

President Donald Trump met with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador in the Oval Office Monday. Their conversation centered on immigration, and specifically the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man whose removal the White House chalked up to an “administrative error.” Last week, the Supreme Court ordered the administration to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S. But Bukele told reporters Monday he won't send him back, and Trump said no one can make him do it. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, talks about Trump's expanding immigration crackdown.And in headlines: Harvard University rebuffed the White House's list of policy demands to protect billions in federal funding, Trump again threatened CBS' '60 Minutes,' and a man accused of setting fire to the Pennsylvania Governor's Mansion was charged with attempted homicide and terrorism.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
