Venezuela was hit by one of the biggest earthquakes in its history on Wednesday evening, toppling buildings in Caracas, knocking out some cellphone coverage and power lines and triggering a tsunami warning for Caribbean islands https://t.co/5Ap8vE0U5h

The GDP numbers from the FT article are stark.
If Venezuela's GDP contraction of over 70% in 15 years proves accurate—and it will surely be the subject of intense analytical debate and posturing—it would constitute one of the most dramatic in history.
According to Google's Gemini AI, recent comparable contractions would include Lebanon and Zimbabwe.

We are in Texas. Just filled up for $3.59. In L.A. on Monday it was $8.59.

Californians: It's not the Iran war. It's not "Trump." It's Democrat policies that have given us the highest gas prices in America.

You can have $3.00 gas but you have to VOTE for it in November.

Durante años los argentinos aprendieron a desconfiar de su propio país.

Desconfiaban los inversores extranjeros, pero también los propios argentinos, que veían cómo gobiernos irresponsables incumplían contratos, destruían la moneda y alejaban cualquier posibilidad de desarrollo.

Hoy estamos sentando las bases de una nueva Argentina: una Argentina que cumple su palabra, honra sus compromisos y vuelve a generar confianza para invertir, producir y crecer.

🇵🇪 Parabéns à presidente eleita do Peru, @KeikoFujimori

Desejo pleno êxito em sua missão de conduzir o povo peruano à estabilidade, prosperidade e segurança, fortalecendo as instituições democráticas e promovendo o desenvolvimento econômico e social de seu país.

O fortalecimento da cooperação entre as nações sulamericanas é fundamental para enfrentarmos desafios comuns, como o combate ao narcoterrorismo transnacional, a promoção da liberdade econômica e a construção de um ambiente cada vez mais favorável ao investimento, ao crescimento e à geração de oportunidades para nossos povos.

Que este novo ciclo, mais à direita, represente um tempo de paz, progresso e esperança para o Peru e para toda a América do Sul.

Que Deus ilumine a Presidente Keiko Fujimori e abençoe os povos peruano e brasileiro.

The Great Property Tax Revolt of 2026 is here.

From Florida to Texas to Indiana, Americans are pushing back as property taxes rise faster than incomes and inflation.

The message from voters is simple: homes should not be taxed out of reach. @davetrabert

Current account deficit for Q1 grew by $5.8 billion to $226.8 billion as balance on primary income shifted from surplus to deficit; both imports and exports increased from Q4 '25:

@nytimes Interesting that the result came from a clear reading of Congress's spending power. It did not rest on the burden placed on Mr. Landor's beliefs and practices. RFRA and RLUIPA relied on different constitutional grants of power, making different remedies available.

Glad you are highlighting this. Onward, always! Is my favorite @Heritage slogan, but not on this. The wages of sin are always paid, same of the cost of government malfeasance

She did nothing about China’s currency manipulation when she was head of the IMF from 2011-2019. And when you think about it, maintaining a level international monetary playing field was the raison d’être for the creation of the International Monetary Fund!

Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us that he will not voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so. Therefore, today we have issued a subpoena for him to publicly testify.
