Avui dilluns parlem del passat ple extraordinari que reprova l'alcalde Adrià Lamelas per la gestió del personal municipal. Junts, Tots i ERC han tirat endavant l’únic punt del ple extraordinari sobre la situació del personal de l'Ajuntament gràcies al suport dels comuns, Sumem i VOX. La proposta denuncia manca de lideratge i planificació de l'equip de govern, així com malestar entre la plantilla i afectacions als serveis municipals. La moció aprovada demana informació sobre baixes laborals, absentisme i vacants, i reprova l'alcalde Adrià Lamelas com a màxim responsable de la situació. Tot plegat ha tingut lloc el passat divendres, coincidint amb la protesta dels treballadors i sindicats. S'han manifestat a la plaça de la Vila i després han seguit la sessió des de la sala de plens. Escoltem un representant sindical i els portaveus municipals. Altres temes d'interès: Esports: Donem resultats de la Daniela Guillen, de l'Atlètic Club de Futbol i del Club de Vòlei Lloret Blau. Tradició: Es convoca el Premi Ses Obreres que busca la imatge de la Festa Major de Santa Cristina 2027. Els detalls, els dona una de les organitzadores, Laia Codina.

Ben Lerner's slender new novel, “Transcription,” is just 130 pages long, yet it cracks open some of our most colossal and enduring philosophical questions. The novel is told in three parts. We open with an unnamed narrator going to interview his mentor, Thomas — an acclaimed artist in his 90s who also happens to be the father of one of the narrator's friends, Max — for a magazine. Before the interview, however, the narrator's phone breaks and he has no way to record their conversation. Rather than reschedule, he proceeds with the interview and only pretends to record Thomas as they talk. The second section flashes to the future. Thomas has died, and the article that our narrator wrote has become enshrined as the final interview with the iconic artist. At a symposium in Madrid, the narrator confesses that his interview was reconstructed rather than transcribed — a revelation that dismays the other guests and infuriates Max. Then we flash again. In the final section, the narrator talks to Max, who discusses his own complicated relationship with Thomas and technology, including how the internet and other digital tools impacted his family during several crises. Through these scenes, “Transcription” asks a series of questions: How does technology mediate our lives? How does it bring us together or pull us apart? Is there a difference between what's real and what's true? It also becomes a potent and poignant study of fatherhood and what it means. On this episode, MJ Franklin discusses “Transcription” with fellow Book Review editors Gregory Cowles and Alexandra Jacobs.

Junts, Tots i ERC -a l’oposició– han aconseguit tirar endavant la moció aprovada en el ple extraordinari celebrat aquest divendres per analitzar la situació del personal de l'Ajuntament. La proposta ha pogut ser aprovada en rebre el suport de ‘comuns’ (soci de l’equip de govern), Sumem i VOX, mentre que el PSC (a l’equip de govern) hi ha votat en contra. El debat ha començat a les 12h amb una protesta dels treballadors i representants sindicals a la plaça de la Vila, els quals en acabar han seguit la sessió des de la sala de plens, que ha quedat plena a vessar. L'oposició atribueix la situació a una manca de lideratge i planificació de l'equip de govern i denuncia un augment del malestar entre la plantilla, la pèrdua de professionals i tensions amb la representació sindical, amb afectació directa als serveis municipals. La moció aprovada inclou mesures com donar compte en el proper ple ordinari sobre l’evolució de la plantilla, el nombre de baixes laborals, l’índex d’absentisme i les vacants, a més de reprovar a l’alcalde Adrià Lamelas com a «màxim responsable d’aquesta deriva». La proposta inclou un diagnòstic independent de la situació laboral i un pla integral de millora amb mesures concretes i calendaritzades. En el decurs del ple extraordinari, Jordi Martínez (Junts) ha demanat «posar fi al col·lapse col·lectiu, la salut laboral de la plantilla no és negociable«, mentre que Albert Robert (Tots) exposa que hi ha un «conflicte obert i la situació és lluny de solució, és un problema estructural». Davant les crítiques de l’oposició, Míriam Rodríguez (PSC) ha defensat la gestió del govern amb dades: “des del 2024 fins ara hem creat 6 places noves tot i la taxa de reposició, vostès el 2023 no van crear-ne cap, mentre que nosaltres hem reforçat àrees que considerem essencials». Pel que fa a les promocions internes, el PSC explica que n’hi ha previstes 11 enguany, davant les 3 del 2023. Albert Ferrández (ERC) ha respòs al PSC: “Continuem escoltant excuses i que tot és complex, però zero autocrítica, la sala és plena de treballadors de la casa. Segur que no hi ha cap problema?». Els treballadors i representants de tots els sindicats municipals han protestat avui a la plaça de la Vila, amb música i crits. Per la seva banda, Frederic Guich (‘comuns’), ha manifestat que “no dubto que arribarem a un acord, demano als sindicats que portin la documentació demanada». Lara Torres (Sumem) ha defensat que “el problema existeix, el clima s’ha deteriorat i proposem una esmena perquè no s’assenyalin dos regidors personalment”. L’esmena ha quedat aprovada i retira el fet de reprovar els regidors Miriam Rodriguez i Frederic Guich, responsables de RRHH i Assumptes Laborals. Coque Hernando (VOX) ha posat com a exemple que “no pot ser que hi hagi només dues patrulles de la policia local, la gent està cremada, hi ha baixes i absentisme.”

Iran deal rumors, Thomas Massie, Camille Kiefel, Bryan Walsh at Vox, and Chris Olah of Anthropic headline today's A.M. Update. Trump's Memorial Day Truth Social post lays out his framework for an Iran settlement, demanding Saudi Arabia and Qatar sign the Abraham Accords first, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian goes on state television to say Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, and Marco Rubio cautions that paper agreements still have to be implemented. A gunman opens fire at a Secret Service checkpoint outside the White House on Saturday and is killed, with a bystander also hit by gunfire. Freshly ousted Rep. Thomas Massie goes on the media circuit promising to read the full Epstein client list on the House floor before he leaves Congress, and Aaron calls it not finishing well. Detransitioner Camille Kiefel reaches a reported $3.5 million settlement against the two Oregon therapists who approved her double mastectomy after brief Zoom calls. A veteran Vox climate journalist named Bryan Walsh admits that over a decade of apocalyptic climate coverage was built on an imaginary worst-case model called RCP8.5, not actual forecasting. Aaron closes with Chris Olah's remarks at the Vatican on AI's unsettling inner workings, and Aaron's own personal story: 82 app builds, two hours saved every day, and a pregnancy app for his wife now pending Apple review.

Thirty-four million dollars.That's what it costs to buy a congressional seat in America. Not rent. Buy. Outright. Like a foreclosure auction, except the property is a democracy and the bidders live in a different country.This week, Thomas Massie, a seven-term Republican who voted with Trump 94% of the time, was primaried out of Congress in the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. His crime? Pushing the Epstein files. Fighting the war in Iran. Introducing a bill to make AIPAC register as a foreign agent. His replacement is a man with no public platform, no public birthday, and $34 million in outside money from pro-Israel lobbying groups and three billionaires who have never been to Kentucky.Meanwhile: The DOJ created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that could pay out January 6th defendants, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers, and gave Trump permanent IRS audit immunity as a bonus. Two Capitol Police officers are suing to shut it down.The Trump administration indicted 94-year-old Raul Castro on Cuban Independence Day at Miami's Freedom Tower, directly next to the future Trump Library, in the middle of an oil blockade that has left Cuba without electricity and healthcare. Justice or political theater? (We both know the answer.)The Senate finally advanced a war powers resolution on Iran. On its eighth try. The House still can't get it done by one vote. The guy who led the fight just lost his seat.Spencer Pratt, the villain from The Hills, is running for Mayor of Los Angeles. His campaign is staffed by MAGA operatives. He compared himself to Obama.

Por primera vez en la historia de nuestra democracia, un expresidente del Gobierno tendrá que declarar como investigado ante un tribunal. El juez José Luis Calama ha citado a José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero el próximo 2 de junio; como líder, como "vértice" de una estructura de tráfico de influencias destinada a obtener beneficios económicos intermediando ante organismos públicos en favor de terceros. Principalmente la empresa Plus Ultra. Las reaciones políticas se suceden, del shock en el PSOE al ataque del PP. Además, Jonathan Andik queda en libertad provisional después de abonar una fianza de un millón de euros. Tardó menos de una hora en hacerla efectiva. La jueza le cree responsable del homicidio de su padre, el fundador de mango por la mala relación entre ellos y su obsesión con el dinero. Y Juanma Moreno ofrece un acuerdo parlamentario a Vox para que el PP forme un gobierno en solitario en Andalucía. El candidato popular apela a su amplia victoria en las elecciones y pide a la ultraderecha que, por sentido común, no bloquee su Ejecutivo.

Federico analiza las primeras reacciones tras las elecciones andaluzas y las intenciones tanto de PP como de Vox ante la formación de gobierno.

Estoy sorprendido por algunos análisis sobre las elecciones andaluzas. Los hechos son estos: Juanma Moreno consigue subir 150.000 votos, pero los restos de Adelante Andalucía en dos provincias impiden que renueve la absoluta. Y esto, por lo que se ve, significa necesariamente que Andalucía quiere un gobierno de coalición PP-Vox.Es curioso. El sentido del voto de la derecha, así, a lo bestia, lo marca un señor de Granada, un anticapitalista que, en este momento, estará tomando un café en el Sacromonte, ajeno a su poder decisivo en la conformación del relato en el espacio liberal-conservador.Eso de "Andalucía lo que quiere es un gobierno del PP, pero controlado por Vox" es una interpretación curiosa. Sobre todo, porque Moreno ha liderado una campaña basada precisamente en desmarcarse de Vox y de sus políticas. El PP ha obtenido un 42% de los votos contra la prioridad nacional. Nadie ha votado al PP porque quiera prioridad nacional. Y no solo porque no eso no estaba en su programa, sino, además, porque Moreno lo ha descartado pública y explícitamente. Pedirle ahora que se pliegue a aquello contra lo que ha construido su promesa, sería lo mismo que pedirle que traicionara a sus votantes.Sorprende con qué placidez se pide a Moreno que de la vuelta a los cañones y rompa el pacto que ha firmado con sus votantes. Los mismos que dijeron, con razón, que era impresentable que Sánchez hiciera lo contrario de lo que prometió, hoy promueven que Moreno haga exactamente lo mismo. Como diría Krahe: "Lo que antes ser muy mal, hoy resultar excelente. Hombre blanco hablar con lengua de serpiente".Es el efecto mariposa, Carlos: un trotskista estornuda en el Albaicín y, en Madrid, nace la sincronizada de derechas. Como se enteren en el Kremlin cambian los piolets por piononos.

La Audiencia Nacional investiga al expresidente José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero por delitos de organización criminal, tráfico de influencias, falsedad y blanqueo de capitales. El juez lo considera líder de una estructura para obtener beneficios económicos, vinculada al rescate de Plus Ultra y la venta de petróleo venezolano, con sus hijas implicadas. Zapatero niega las acusaciones. El PSOE defiende su inocencia; la oposición pide responsabilidades. En Cataluña, Salvador Illa y Oriol Junqueras firman un acuerdo de presupuestos para 2026, asegurando la continuidad de la legislatura y evitando elecciones anticipadas. El pacto refuerza la agencia tributaria catalana y cede la Zona Franca. En Andalucía, Juanma Moreno busca gobernar en solitario, pero necesita el apoyo de VOX. VOX exige su programa y consejerías, mientras Moreno Bonilla se mantiene firme en no ceder a todas sus demandas. El rey Felipe VI viaja a Canadá para estrechar lazos económicos. Se debate la posible adhesión de Canadá ...

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero es el primer expresidente del gobierno investigado por la justicia, enfrentando cargos por organización criminal, tráfico de influencias, falsedad y blanqueo de capitales en el caso Plus Ultra. El juez Calama lo señala como líder de una trama de corrupción. Zapatero niega las acusaciones, el gobierno defiende su inocencia y la oposición critica a Sánchez. En Cataluña, Salvador Illa y Oriol Junqueras firman un pacto para los presupuestos de la Generalitat, incluyendo compromisos clave a debatir en la comisión bilateral. Juanma Moreno Bonilla, tras las elecciones andaluzas, insiste en gobernar en solitario con el apoyo parlamentario de VOX y advierte contra el bloqueo del gobierno. Los presidentes de Rusia y China, Putin y Xi Jinping, se reúnen en Pekín para reforzar su alianza, con la esperanza internacional de que China influya en el conflicto de Ucrania.

El ciclo electoral que comenzó a finales del año pasado en Extremadura, que siguió ya en 2026 en Aragón y Castilla y León, acaba en Andalucía. Si no hay sorpresas, no votaremos en España hasta 2027, momento en el que vendrá la traca final: municipales, muchas autonómicas pendientes y, cuando decida Pedro Sánchez, generales. ¿Cómo le afecta todo esto a un Partido Popular que ha ganado las cuatro elecciones de este año pero que depende más de Vox que nunca? ¿Se plantea el PSOE un cambio en las candidaturas al ver resultados como el que ha obtenido María Jesús Montero? ¿Qué tiene en la cabeza Pedro Sánchez?

A pesar de no haber conseguido la mayoría absoluta, de la que se ha quedado a dos diputados de la mayoría absoluta, Moreno Bonilla quiere gobernar en solitario y confía en hacerlo. El resto de los barones populares que ya han pactado con la ultraderecha le dieron la bienvenida al "lío", que es como llamó el andaluz a los acuerdos con Vox. Desde la dirección nacional del PP, Feijóo se afana ahora en pedir el apoyo para un nuevo ciclo. En el PSOE admiten que los resultados del ciclo electoral no son buenos, aunque niegan que fuese un error mandar a miembros del gobierno como candidatas, como es el caso de María Jesús Montero en Andalucía. El crecimiento de Adelante Andalucía ha abierto una reflexión en la izquierda sobre qué hacer de cara a las elecciones generales: apostar por las izquierdas regionalistas o por una izquierda nacional común. 

El PP busca gobernar en solitario a pesar de necesitar dos escaños para la mayoría absoluta, mientras Vox se posiciona como pieza clave y exige entrar en el Gobierno para asegurar su medida estrella, la prioridad nacional. Esta propuesta, que no es un trampantojo ni un eslogan vacío de contenido, se ve como un elemento de erosión democrática y pone en riesgo la cohesión social, elevando las apuestas políticas.

La Guardia Civil busca al autor de un tiroteo en El Ejido (Almería) que ha dejado dos muertos y cuatro heridos graves, entre ellos dos menores de edad. Los primeros indicios apuntan a que el autor del ataque es un familiar de víctimas y que se ha fugado. Juan Manuel Moreno insiste en gobernar en solitario en Andalucía, aunque se haya quedado a dos escaños de la mayoría absoluta. Confía en reeditar una legislatura sin Vox, pero la ultraderecha avisa de que pedirán, como mínimo, la prioridad nacional. En el PSOE admiten que han sido malos resultados, pero niegan que enviar como candidata a María Jesús Montero, que fue número dos de Sánchez, fuese un error. 

Juan Manuel Moreno dice que quiere gobernar en solitario aunque admite que tendrá que negociar. El líder del PP andaluz recalca que el PP ha obtenido 53 diputados y defiende que lo sensato es que Vox no fuerce su entrada en el ejecutivo. La ultraderecha exige la prioridad nacional como premisa para un acuerdo. Salvador Illa y Oriol Junqueras presentan hoy el acuerdo de presupuestos en Catalunya. La Guardia Civil busca al presunto autor de un tiroteo en El Ejido -Almería- que ha dejado dos personas muertas y cuatro heridas graves. La noticia de la mañana es la imputación de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Agentes de la UDEF están registrando la oficina del expresidente. La Audiencia Nacional ha imputado a Zapatero por organización criminal, tráfico de influencias y falsedad documental en el rescate con dinero público de la aerolínea Plus Ultra.

Federico analiza los resultados de las elecciones en Andalucía donde PP y Vox superan el 50% de los votos frente a la izquierda y extrema izquierda.

Federico analiza los resultados de las andaluzas que ha ganado el PP, pero sin mayoría absoluta, y Vox ha subido un diputado.

Las elecciones autonómicas celebradas este domingo en Andalucía han traído algunas novedades. El actual presidente, Juanma Moreno, que aspiraba a revalidar la mayoría absoluta lograda en 2022, ha ganado con holgura, casi 20 puntos por encima del PSOE, pero ha perdido 5 escaños y se ha quedado a dos diputados de la mayoría que él mismo convirtió en eje de campaña. El PP obtiene el 41,7% de votos y 53 escaños, incluso ha conseguido 150.000 votos más que hace cuatro años, pero el aumento de la participación, que ha pasado del 56% al 65%, ha alterado el reparto. Moreno ha mantenido su electorado, pero ha sido incapaz de anticipar la reactivación del voto de extrema izquierda. VOX sube un escaño y tres décimas, hasta el 13,8% y 15 diputados. Crece poco, pero lo suficiente para convertirse en llave de la investidura. Lo que no han conseguido es capitalizar el aumento de la participación y, aunque se mantienen como tercera fuerza política, la suma de Adelante Andalucía y Por Andalucía les supera en votos y porcentaje. Previsiblemente para desbloquear la investidura harán pagar a Moreno el peaje de la prioridad nacional y concesiones en política migratoria y agenda cultural. Para el PSOE el resultado es demoledor. María Jesús Montero, hasta hace unas semanas número dos del Gobierno y apuesta personal de Sánchez, se ha quedado con sólo 28 escaños, el peor resultado de la historia del socialismo andaluz. Pierde dos diputados y rompe el suelo de 2022 con una participación sensiblemente mayor, lo que desactiva la coartada de que sus votantes se han abstenido. Andalucía, feudo socialista durante décadas, un lugar donde hace 20 años el PSOE ganaba con más de la mitad de los votos, se queda en un raquítico 22%. La fijación de Sánchez de imponer ministros como cabezas de cartel autonómicas vuelve a fallar tras el batacazo de Pilar Alegría en Aragón. A la izquierda del PSOE, Adelante Andalucía ha dado la sorpresa. Su candidato, José Ignacio García, pasa de 2 a 8 escaños gracias a que ha sabido hacerse con el voto joven y urbano, al que ha hablado de vivienda, coste de la vida y servicios públicos. De hecho, ha disputado eficazmente a VOX el voto protesta en barrios obreros. Por Andalucía, la coalición de IU, Sumar y Podemos, se queda en 5 escaños y un 6,3%, mínimo histórico de IU. Podemos sale del Parlamento andaluz por primera vez desde 2015. Se repite de nuevo el patrón aragonés. La extrema izquierda crece allá donde se desmarca de Sánchez y se desangra donde permanece en la coalición. Las lecciones son claras. Feijóo deberá decidir hasta dónde puede sostener la fórmula de Moreno ya que ese centrismo templado parece haber encontrado su techo. Sánchez, por su parte, acumula cuatro derrotas consecutivas en seis meses. A finales de junio han convocado los socialistas un Comité Federal para ir preparando las municipales del año próximo que se esperan especialmente complicadas, pero sobre esta derrota andaluza impera el más atronador silencio.

Luis Herrero analiza los resultados de las elecciones en Andalucía.

El PP gana las elecciones andaluzas sin alcanzar la ansiada mayoría absoluta para ser independiente de Vox. La izquierda andaluza crece pero se desploma el PSOE, que cosecha su peor resultado histórico con Maria Jesús Montero. Adelante Andalucía cuadruplica escaños mientras Por Andalucía conserva los 5 anteriores pese a la unidad de IU, Podemos, Movimiento Sumar y otros cuatro partidos. Analizamos los resultados del 17A con Juanlu Sanchez, director de Un Tema Al Día en eldiario.es; con Juanma Lamet, periodista andaluz de El Mundo, y con Eva Sáiz, redactora jefa de El País Andalucía. Además, hablamos con Pablo Coca, documentalista y director de “Salud no responde” y con Sebastián Martín Recio, portavoz de Mareas Blancas Andalucía.

El PP perd la majoria absoluta i necessitar

Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla había insistido mucho en “evitar el lío de gobernar con Vox”, pero, después de perder cinco escaños, no solo va a tener que negociar, sino que, como afirma Javier Casqueiro, seguramente terminará gobernando con ese partido: “No le va a regalar la abstención para que gobierne en solitario, como pretendía en algún momento —y ha mandado ese mensaje— Juan Manuel Moreno”. De hecho, los seguidores de Vox han clamado por la “prioridad nacional”. Todos los partidos se han definido como andalucistas, pero quien finalmente se ha llevado el gato al agua ha sido Adelante Andalucía, que ha pasado de dos escaños a ocho y ha conseguido más votos que Vox en Sevilla y Cádiz. Sin embargo, Por Andalucía, la coalición formada in extremis por IU, Sumar y Podemos, ha tenido que conformarse con los cinco escaños que consiguió en las pasadas elecciones. El PSOE ha obtenido su peor resultado histórico en la comunidad. Con María Jesús Montero al frente, ha perdido dos escaños y se queda con 28. Según Casqueiro, el debate que recorre algunos pasillos es si Pedro Sánchez adelantará las elecciones generales, algo que no parece probable.

El programa analiza las consecuencias de las elecciones andaluzas, donde Juanma Moreno Bonilla mantiene la presidencia, aunque la forma de su gobierno, con o sin el apoyo directo de VOX, genera debate. El PSOE, tras la derrota de María Jesús Montero, cierra filas a nivel federal, pero recibe críticas internas por los pactos con independentistas. En Cataluña, Salvador Illa y Oriol Junqueras alcanzan un acuerdo para los presupuestos, que incluye una nueva línea de tren orbital y mayor peso catalán en la Zona Franca. La Audiencia Nacional falla a favor de Shakira en su caso de fraude fiscal de 2011, obligando a Hacienda a devolverle 60 millones de euros, al no poder demostrar su residencia fiscal en España. Continúan las huelgas de profesores en Valencia y Cataluña, y la de médicos a nivel nacional, que ya suma cuatro meses sin acuerdo, reclamando mejores condiciones y la intervención de Pedro Sánchez. Finalmente, se aborda la grave situación del narcotráfico en Andalucía tras la muerte ...

El programa analiza en profundidad los resultados de las elecciones andaluzas. El Partido Popular logra una victoria aplastante, quedándose a solo dos escaños de la mayoría absoluta, lo que le obliga a negociar con VOX. Juanma Moreno aspira a gobernar en solitario, mientras VOX exige concesiones, especialmente en temas de "prioridad nacional". El PSOE sufre su peor resultado histórico en Andalucía, generando una profunda crisis interna y movimientos de descontento entre sus líderes locales, quienes critican la gestión de Ferraz y el liderazgo de María Jesús Montero. La izquierda a la izquierda del PSOE presenta dos caras: Adelante Andalucía, liderada por José Ignacio García, experimenta un notable ascenso, pasando de dos a ocho escaños, lo que se considera una sorpresa electoral. Por otro lado, Por Andalucía, que incluye a Podemos e Izquierda Unida, mantiene sus cinco escaños sin cumplir las expectativas. Finalmente, se destaca la firma del acuerdo de presupuestos catalanes entre ...

El programa analiza la resaca electoral en Andalucía: el PP de Juanma Moreno gana sin mayoría absoluta y busca gobernar en solitario, mientras VOX prioriza sus políticas. El PSOE evita la autocrítica, aunque voces internas piden reflexionar sobre los malos resultados. La corrupción, como el caso Ábalos, y la oposición a declarar la Guardia Civil profesión de riesgo influyen en los resultados socialistas. En Cataluña, Esquerra Republicana aprueba el acuerdo presupuestario con el PSC, que firman Salvador Illa y Oriol Junqueras, elogiado por su "sentido de país". A nivel internacional, un informe de Amnistía Internacional revela que Irán concentra el 80% de las ejecuciones de pena de muerte en 2025, con China liderando la lista global. Se informa también de un tiroteo en un centro islámico de San Diego y la deportación a Estados Unidos de Alex Saab, exministro venezolano acusado de blanqueo. En España, se lamenta un nuevo crimen machista en Arguedas, Navarra. Se entregan los Premios ...

El programa analiza las consecuencias de las elecciones andaluzas, donde el PP obtiene una victoria contundente, dejando a la izquierda muy por debajo y generando incertidumbre sobre los pactos con VOX. Esta situación destaca la pérdida de apoyo al PSOE en varias comunidades y sus implicaciones para el gobierno central, mencionando la búsqueda de nuevos cargos para exministros y la influencia de casos de corrupción como el de Ábalos. En el ámbito internacional, Irán cobra peajes en el estrecho de Ormuz y busca rutas alternativas por el mar Caspio. Pakistán enfrenta desafíos en su campaña de vacunación contra la polio debido a la desinformación, requiriendo protección policial. La represión chavista en Venezuela continúa, con historias trágicas. A nivel nacional, la Audiencia Nacional da la razón a Shakira en su caso fiscal, obligando a Hacienda a devolverle 60 millones de euros. Además, se anuncian acuerdos entre el Gobierno y la Generalitat para desencallar los presupuestos y se ...

El camino que Feijóo quiso comenzar en Extremadura, y en Aragón, y que siguió por Castilla y León, ha terminado mal para el PP en Andalucía, el único lugar donde sí parecía tener un líder sólido. Todo eso se acaba de venir abajo, porque el PP dependerá de Vox también en Andalucía para gobernar y esta vez puede ser especialmente humillante, porque Juanma Moreno lleva 8 años prometiendo que él no es Díaz Ayuso, que él no es compatible con Vox… Quien ha canalizado el fuerte aumento de la participación ha sido Adelante Andalucía, que se postula como la nueva corriente alternativa de las izquierdas, y en el PSOE, que hace lo difícil empeorando sus resultados, barruntan que tal vez y a pesar de esta debacle, la dependencia de Juanma Moreno de la ultraderecha, puede ser un punto de inflexión.

College was supposed to be a ticket to a better life. A degree meant a good job, a decent salary, and a brighter future. That promise is breaking down. For many graduates, a college degree no longer guarantees economic security or upward mobility. In today's episode, guest host Miles Bryan talks with reporter and author Noam Scheiber about his new book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, which argues that the economic prospects for college graduates have steadily eroded since the mid-2000s. The result is scrambling our politics. Miles and Noam discuss why college graduates are increasingly drawn to socialist politicians like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, why they've become some of the strongest supporters of organized labor, and how economic frustration among educated workers could transform the American political landscape.

On Sunday, President Trump rejected Iran's latest response to his administration's ceasefire proposal by taking to Truth Social, calling it "totally unacceptable." In the meantime, the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil chokepoint through which a fifth of the world's oil travels, remains effectively blocked. And people everywhere are beginning to feel the squeeze. The national average cost of gas is now $4.55 per gallon, and diesel is inching closer to $6 a gallon. The Philippines has long declared a national energy emergency, government workers moving to a four-day work week. Lufthansa has canceled 20,000 flights through October of this year. But curiously, you wouldn't know it if you wandered down Wall Street. Last week, the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite hit an all-time high, and both have continued to climb this week. This week, host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Bryan Walsh, editor of Vox's Future Perfect section, to discuss the phenomenon of “economic blindness,” or the jarring mismatch between economic reality and the markets.

Ralph welcomes back Adolph Reed, Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mount Holyoke College to discuss the latest Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. Then, Ralph and our resident constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, talk about what ordinary citizens can do to pressure their reps to impeach Donald Trump.Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mount Holyoke College. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives, No Politics but Class Politics (co-authored with Walter Benn Michaels), and Black Studies, Cultural Politics, and the Evasion of Inequality: The Farce this Time (co-authored with Kenneth W. Warren).I think the issues are a lot more complex than they seem to be or than seems to be the way that they are represented in the debate [over the Voting Rights Act]…To cut straight to the political case, I think there's a distinction between the Act's guarantee that black citizens and others (where pertinent) who live in areas where there's been a history of suppression of the right to vote have the support of the federal government to make certain that Black voters have the ability to vote for and to elect candidates of their choosing. Which is not the same thing as a right of Black individuals to be elected to office. And I think that's one of the confusions that characterizes, frankly, both sides of the debate at this point. And I think that's definitely something that needs to be clarified.Adolph ReedSome of my friends and I have been talking about this, and have been bouncing this idea back and forth since, frankly, even before the court handed down the [Louisiana v Callais] decision. In thinking about developments in black politics across the board, the idea that all that Black voters are supposed to get out of politics is the representation of people who look like them and share in the same racial identification has also fueled backward turns. Like how all of a sudden the biggest issue in Black American politics supposedly had become the racial wealth gap, which boils down to a complaint that rich Black people aren't as rich as rich white people are. So, yeah, shaking up or reshuffling the deck for how we might begin to try to determine the stakes of Black Americans' engagement in national politics is something that needs to happen. No matter what brings it about.Adolph ReedBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.My website is www.lawofficesofbrucefein.com and my email address is Bruce@feinpoints.com. And I'll respond and give you guidance as to how you can help be part of this effort to impeach and remove by far the most dangerous President in the history of the United States. And he's most dangerous to the world as well.Bruce FeinNews 5/8/26* Our top story this week comes to us from the Bulwark, which reports that dissatisfaction with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is reaching a fever pitch. Martin has faced criticism over the course of his tenure for reneging on his promise to release an autopsy on the 2024 presidential campaign and for his decidedly lackluster fundraising efforts. The DNC has reportedly “spent more money than it has raised” and “has more debt than cash on hand,” while the Republican National Committee enjoys a “roughly seven-to-one money advantage.” According to this report, high-level DNC members are now privately discussing ousting Martin, only tabling these discussions “after members failed to identify an alternative candidate willing to step into the role.” Martin's failures have even led Democrats to openly wonder “whether the 178-year-old committee should even exist anymore.” Martin was elected DNC Chair last year, beating out Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler, who helped rebuild the party and raise tremendous amounts of money in that critical swing state.* Speaking of money in politics, this week POLITICO released a damning report on End Citizens United, the good-government focused 501(c)(4) that has in past years been a “fundraising behemoth” but has now faded nearly into complete irrelevancy. The issues highlighted in this piece will be familiar to many who have worked in this world. Despite raising $14.8 million, the group's PAC arm is burning through the money more quickly than it can raise it, having just $324,000 on hand at the end of March. What are they spending the money on? According to POLITICO, about $650,000 has gone to candidates and party groups and about the same amount has been bundled. Meanwhile, payments to fundraising firms have eaten up an astonishing $5.3 million. This is just another case of Democratic Party aligned consulting firms run amok and growing fat off of small dollar donations.* Another disappointing story comes to us from the Teamsters. According to Bloomberg, the union has forfeited a hard-won union foothold – the first ever unionized Chipotle – following three years of battling the company and failing to secure a contract. A Teamsters local president said in an email to the National Labor Relations Board that the union “officially withdraws and disclaims interest” at the Lansing, Michigan location. Legally speaking, this means the company will no longer be “required to recognize or negotiate with the union.” The employees of this location voted to unionize in 2022 by a margin of 11-to-3. Chipotle corporate has been decried for seeking to bust this union, with Biden NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo accusing them of employing illegal anti-union tactics like “withholding raises from the store's staff and telling workers that the union was keeping their pay frozen…[and punishing] a pro-union employee to discourage activism.” However, it was the Teamsters themselves who ultimately gave up, paving the way for the demise of the workers' heroic stand against corporate power. As the saying goes, with friends like these.* In more positive political news, during the Washington DC mayoral debate last week, the Washington Post reports democratic socialist mayoral hopeful Janeese Lewis George seemed to endorse the idea of opening municipal grocery stores in DC food deserts, including the impoverished and majority Black Wards 7 and 8. Asked about this topic, Councilmember Lewis George committed to bringing at least one more grocery store to Ward 7 and at least two more to Ward 8, noting that she would seek to shore up investor confidence with public dollars. If private options do not materialize however, she vowed that “we will work towards” a publicly-owned store. Municipally-owned grocery stores were a much publicized part of the Zohran Mamdani campaign platform and, if Lewis George is elected, his success or failure in carrying out that pledge is sure to impact her decision making on this issue.* Meanwhile, in media news, the New York Times reports Lupa Systems – the private holding company representing the interests of James Murdoch, son of conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch – is “in talks to acquire major parts of Vox Media.” Vox, founded in the 2010s by journalists Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, and Melissa Bell, now owns major media properties including New York magazine, the Verge, Eater and a podcast network featuring Kara Swisher and others. Murdoch, through Lupa, owns a “majority stake in Tribeca Enterprises, the parent company of the Tribeca Film Festival.” Additionally, the Times notes that Quadrivium, the foundation founded by Mr. Murdoch and his wife, Kathryn, has financial interests in “The 19th, a nonprofit newsroom focused on gender and politics, and The Bulwark, a so-called ‘Never Trump' digital media company.” James Murdoch, along with his sister Elisabeth, are seen as far more liberal than the Murdoch patriarch and his other son, Lachlan, who together successfully ousted the other family members from control of the family trust in a recent legal battle.* Turning to international news, yet another deadlocked presidential election in Peru is looming. A new Ipsos poll, taken near the end of April, shows an exact 50-50 split between the two candidates in the runoff: the left-wing member of Congress Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori. This election was always going to be close – Peruvian politics have been deadlocked for years, resulting in ultra-narrow presidential victories frequently followed by impeachments. Fujimori has been a runoff candidate in every presidential election going back to 2011, losing each by extremely narrow margins. Most recently, she lost to Pedro Castillo by a margin of 50.13% to 49.87% in 2021. Castillo however was thwarted by, and ultimately ousted by, the Congress. The runoff will be held on June 7th.* In India, the Left suffered catastrophic defeats in this week's state elections, Al Jazeera reports. The state of Kerala – “the first in the world to have a democratically elected communist government” and “the last state in India where communists were in power” – will now be led by the United Democratic Front, a coalition headed by the Congress party, which won over 100 out of 140 seats. The Left bloc will likely capture around 35 seats. Beyond Kerala however, the Left has seen setbacks throughout the country, with no state now being ruled by the Left for the first time since 1977 and the national parliamentary Left bloc declining from 62 in the 2004 election to just eight seats today. Different factors are cited for the general decline of the Left in India, including an inability to adapt Marxist analysis to non class-related issues in the country, such as caste and gender, as well as the decline of industrial trade unions and a general trend towards Right-wing Hindu nationalism. Hopefully, the Left will take this electoral rout as an opportunity to rebuild itself into a viable force for 21st century Indian politics.* Turning to East Asia, the Financial Times reports North Korea has subtly revised its constitution to drop references to reunification of the two Koreas. Specifically, the new text reads “the territory of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea includes the territory bordering the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation to the north and the Republic of Korea to the south, and the territorial sea and airspace established on it”. In acknowledging the existence of the Republic of Korea, more commonly known as South Korea, experts see a move away from the long-held North Korean contention that the peninsula is a single country illegally partitioned. The revision was “disclosed by an academic at a press conference hosted by the South Korean Ministry of Unification on Wednesday.” Though this article notes that “North Korea has not made any comment on the revised constitution and the source of the text revealed by the unification ministry was not disclosed,” it highlights that Kim Jong-un has increasingly moved in this direction in recent years, renaming Tongil (“reunification”) metro station in Pyongyang and dismantling an Arch of Reunification monument.* Our last two stories have to do with the People's Republic of China. First, Reuters reports China's Commerce Ministry has issued an injunction to “block U.S. ​sanctions imposed on five Chinese refiners accused ‌of buying Iranian oil.” Hengli Petrochemical, one of the five small “teapot” refineries primarily located in China's Shandong province, was slapped with sanctions last month, when the Trump administration accused the company of purchasing billions ​of dollars in Iranian oil. The other four have been sanctioned since last year. However, the Ministry now argues that the sanctions violate “international law and ‌the ⁠basic norms of international relations,” and with the injunction in place, “the United States cannot recognize, ​implement, or comply ​with the ⁠sanctions imposed on the aforementioned five Chinese companies.” This is perhaps the most significant challenge to the American-led international sanctions regime in decades and whatever reaction issues from the U.S. will surely inform other states on just how far they can go in flouting such sanctions.* Finally, in a stunning legal decision, Fortune reports Chinese courts have ruled that “companies cannot terminate employees just to replace them with artificial intelligence systems.” The case in question hinged on whether a tech firm in eastern China had acted illegally when firing one of its workers, a “quality assurance professional…identified only as Zhou” after he “refused to take a demotion” and a 40% pay cut, when his job was automated by AI. The court found that the termination did not meet established standards, such as business downsizing or operational difficulties, and the court separately stated that “Companies cannot unilaterally lay off employees or cut salaries due to technological progress.” This stunning legal victory for workers in the face of challenges by technology is bittersweet – heartening in that it's happening at all, yet at the same time depressing because it is almost impossible to imagine an equivalent worker protection regime being implemented in the United States.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Sean talks with Vox senior correspondent Anna North about the strange rise of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement. They explore why MAHA resonates, especially with younger people, how legitimate concerns about food and public health blur into conspiracy thinking, and why social media has become such a powerful engine for both. They also discuss the collapse of trust in institutions, the emotional logic behind wellness movements, and what it would take to rebuild trust in science and public health.

This week, the S&P 500 hit an all-time high, despite a deepening global energy crisis. On this week's On the Media, the mismatch between the stock market and reality. Plus, to understand how FEMA became so distrusted, we look at its response to Hurricane Katrina – and how it stained the agency's reputation forever.  [01:00]  Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Bryan Walsh, senior editorial director at Vox overseeing the Future Perfect and climate teams, about the phenomenon of “economic blindness,” which explains why the stock market hit an all-time high this week despite the oil crisis unspooling across the globe due to Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, how human evolution may play a role in this cognitive dissonance. [13:38]  Host Micah Loewinger presents the second part of our investigation American Emergency: The Movement to Kill FEMA. This week, we look at the event that shaped FEMA's reputation perhaps more than any other: Hurricane Katrina, one of the costliest disasters in U.S. history. Experts had warned about this kind of storm for years, but when it hit the agency only had one staffer on the ground–a PR guy named Marty Bahamonde. We also hear from Superdome survivor Chavon Allen, who was celebrating her 19th birthday when the hurricane made landfall.  Further reading / watching: “We're missing the economic fallout of the Iran war — just like we did with Covid,” by Bryan Walsh Disaster: Hurricane Katrina and the Failure of Homeland Security, by Christopher Cooper and Robert Block Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time on Hulu On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Hey, everyone, Nilay here. We're off today, while the team and I are cooking on a lot of really great stuff in the coming weeks. We'll be back with an all-new interview on Monday.  In the meantime, we really wanted to highlight this episode we first aired in the fall, because it's about a huge subject: AI in schools. The school year is starting to wrap up now around the country, and we're no closer to figuring out how to thread the needle about generative AI in education than we were in September.
