Health Out of Reach? 

In 2026, millions of people who rely on ACA health plans are facing a severe financial blow. With enhanced subsidies left unrenewed by Congress, premiums have surged—tripling in some cases. For many households, health insurance is once again becoming a luxury: some are cutting essential expenses, others dipping into retirement savings to stay covered. What does this rollback mean for public health and financial stability?

Guests: TBA.

What’s next for Venezuela? President Trump says he has strong control over Venezuela, has threatened new military strikes, and at the same time announced the reopening of the country’s airspace and the imminent arrival of oil companies to begin operations. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the U.S. Senate he does not expect further military action against Venezuela. How are talks between Washington and Caracas moving forward? On what terms is the Trump–Rodríguez relationship being managed? What is the current state of Venezuelan sovereignty?

Guests: TBA.

Planning the “new Gaza.” As military attacks continue in Gaza, the Trump administration and the Trump family announced a plan to rebuild the territory and turn it into a complex of skyscrapers and a coastal tourism zone. How is the international community responding to this proposal? What would happen to Israel’s military control? And to the displaced population? What is known about the so-called Peace Council?

Guests: TBA.

The Super Bowl is coming. The 2026 halftime show promises to go beyond sports. This year, Puerto Rican deaf artist Celimar Rivera Cosme will make history by leading the Puerto Rican Sign Language interpretation during Bad Bunny’s performance. Marked by political debate and ICE threats against immigrant attendees, the event becomes a milestone for representation, Latino culture, and inclusion. What does this halftime show mean beyond the spectacle? Why has the participation of Puerto Rican artists drawn so much attention? How did the Super Bowl become a political stage?

Guests: TBA.
