Los tiempos extraordinarios que vive Washington exigen medidas extraordinarias. Por ejemplo, la retransmisión en directo, a través de YouTube y de las webs de varios medios de comunicación, de la anodina operación de levantar un andamio para que unos obreros, subidos a él, retiren las letras de molde de una fachada.

At the helm of the pressure strategy on Mexico designed in Washington, on the hard-line side, there are two individuals: Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka. They are two well-known figures from Donald Trump’s circle of loyalists, both allies of his during his first presidency and whom the president recruited as soon as he secured a second term.

Six months ago, Jacob Frey, 44, went from being mayor of Minneapolis to governing an occupied city. Between 3,000 and 4,000 agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), dispatched by Donald Trump, descended on the state of Minnesota in December of 2025. This was under the pretext of combating fraud within the burgeoning local Somali community.
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, anunció este viernes por la noche (hora de Washington, seis más en la España peninsular) que el Comando Sur de Estados Unidos había matado en un “ataque militar rápido y letal” a Niño Guerrero, “el infame líder del Tren de Aragua”, que el republicano definió en el mensaje de Truth, su red social, con el que dio la noticia como “una de las organizaciones terroristas más sanguinarias del planeta”. Trump no especificó dónde se produjo el ataque, pero un comunicado del Gobierno de Delcy Rodríguez confirmó después que al conocido líder criminal lo mataron en el Estado de Bolívar, al sureste de Venezuela.

El Pentágono fue evacuado en parte este jueves por un “incidente con materiales peligrosos”. Varias dotaciones de bomberos se hallaban desplegadas a final de la mañana (hora de Washington, seis más en la España peninsular) en la sede del Departamento de Defensa, en Arlington, a las afueras de Washington. Más o menos una hora después, la CNN informó que todo se había debido a una “falsa alarma”, debida a la lectura errónea de un sensor del aire defectuoso. Al rato, un portavoz confirmó que las autoridades actuaron con un exceso de precaución.

The first time U.S. soccer legend Tab Ramos played on a team in the country he had just moved to from Uruguay, Argentina was the reigning champion of the 1978 World Cup and the boy was thrilled that the jersey he was given, the Harrison Rec kit, was orange “like the Dutch one.” Ten minutes in, the coach took him off the field: he was too good to compete with that group. He was 12 years old.

The vote in the House of Representatives on Wednesday to limit Donald Trump’s authority to continue his war in Iran will not bring that conflict to an end. But it does represent a symbolic setback for the U.S. president on an issue — the Middle East — that has become, both domestically and in foreign policy, the most painful stone in the shoe of his return to the White House. Meanwhile, the weeks go by and, with the peace deal with Tehran stalled, it seems clear that Washington has no idea how to extract itself from a quagmire of its own making.

Since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has put into practice that old maxim that it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission — except that the president of the United States never apologizes. The order issued on Friday by a federal judge in Washington to remove the Republican’s name from the Kennedy Center (KC), the capital’s major center of music and opera that Trump renamed without permission, has left the cultural institution in a state of uncertainty after more than a year of political meddling from the White House.

Rare is the day Washington residents do not wake up to a new jolt courtesy of U.S. President Donald Trump. And it is not only — though it is also — because of the war with Iran, his use of the press to poison public opinion, or his disrespectful posts on Truth Social. It is because of the unilateral renovations that Trump is undertaking in the U.S. capital, like a mayor with unlimited budget and power, like a Roman emperor or a king obsessed with a city.
Let’s start with the proven facts: Disclosure Day is the most anticipated film of the summer. Its director and screenwriter, Steven Spielberg, revealed details about its plot this week on one of Stephen Colbert’s final shows: he says it tells the story of the theft by officials, “committed to the truth,” of all information held by the government “about UFOs and extraterrestrial visits,” and the system’s desperate attempts to prevent it being revealed.
