La suya ha sido la campaña más desinformadora y mentirosa en mucho tiempo. No sea descarado.

@RMutt231 @AssLatam Colombia does have a high debt burden, but almost none of the predictions of the right came to pass. The dollar is not at 10.000; inflation is not through the roof; unemployment did not increase; poverty did not increase; there is economic growth beyond what experts expected.

The Colombian Liberal Party issued a statement endorsing right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella. However, he had preemptively rejected the endorsement a few days ago, calling the party a corrupt appendix of Gustavo Petro.

🇵🇪Querida @KeikoFujimori, hemos venido a acompañarte en esta contienda que confiando en Dios te dará el triunfo, por un Perú libre y en paz.

El legado de tu padre y tus años de trabajo han valido la pena.

Colombia's outgoing President Petro accuses US of allying itself with the "narco-traffickers" it professes to combat.

Petro was reacting to Trump's endorsement of right-wing lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella who made a fortune representing drug-trafficking paramilitaries and fraudsters

Leases on more than a fifth of the 222,000 acres of Hawaiian land occupied by the US military are set to expire.

What could Hawaiʻi look like if the military didn’t occupy so much land?

While the U.S. deals with an affordability crisis, one element has contributed uniquely to housing costs in Hawai’i—the presence of the U.S. military, which caused rents to increase by an estimated 7.1% in 2024 alone.

UPDATE: @NASA can confirm a fireball over New England at 2:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The meteor was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) in diameter with a mass of 5.6 metric tons and entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph.

The meteor traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking up at an altitude of 31 miles and producing a meteorite fall into Cape Cod Bay.

Based on the latest data, the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 230 tons of TNT, which accounts for the sonic boom.
