Latino Rejection of Republicans in Key States.

A new poll reveals that Trump and Republicans face growing rejection among Latino voters in the states and districts that will determine control of Congress in November. Tariffs, the dismantling of health care, and the economic cost of the war with Iran are fueling that disapproval. What are Latinos saying about the direction of the country? How deep does the rejection of Republicans run? And what will move them to vote?

Gubernatorial Debates With a Latino Focus. California’s gubernatorial candidates faced off in forums where Latino communities set the agenda: immigration, voting rights, housing, and artificial intelligence. The toughest questions centered on cooperation with federal authorities, barriers to voting, and how to prepare young Californians for an AI-driven economy. Who is emerging as the frontrunner? And what proposals are candidates counting on to win over Latino voters?

The Pentagon Sets Its Sights on Cuba. After Trump declared that the U.S. might “stop by Cuba after finishing with Iran” and imposed aggressive new embargo measures, the Pentagon is reportedly advancing plans for a possible military strike on the island, awaiting an order from the president. How serious is the threat? How are Cubans responding? And what is the international community saying in the face of U.S. pressure and the island’s increasingly suffocating conditions?
