"This month comes at a special moment in our nation’s history. For the first time, we have more Latinos serving in Congress than ever before. In the Senate, the Democratic Majority has confirmed a historic number of Latino judicial nominees and recently confirmed the first Latina to serve on the Federal Reserve in the Board’s 109-year history".

Un grupo bipartidista de legisladores de EEUU está buscando limitar el acceso que tienen los niños y adolescentes a las redes sociales. Según los congresistas, se busca exigir a los menores de 18 años un permiso de sus padres para acceder a plataformas como Facebook. Para Luis Carlos Vélez esta es una iniciativa necesaria para proteger a los más pequeños. El periodista asegura que “cada niño que muere por el uso de las redes sociales es culpa de todos aquellos que no trabajan por regularlas”.

Putting presidents, former presidents and coup plotters on trial is an honorable and necessary practice to maintain a healthy democracy. Failure to put on trial presidents or former presidents who broke the law or committed crimes has had devastating consequences in Latin America.

Brian Moynihan, director de Bank of America, señaló que la forma de frenar la inflación "es subiendo los tipos de interés". Sobre este tema, Luis Carlos Vélez, conductor de Línea de Fuego, opina que para que la economía estadounidense no pierda impulso, se podrían considerar otros caminos. "La solución solo la tiene la Casa Blanca, el problema es que hasta ahora no nos han dado alternativa. Finalmente, para solucionar este tipo de problemas es que se hicieron elegir los gobiernos", dijo Vélez.

Daniel Ortega stole the house where he lives, stole the citizenship of hundreds of political prisoners and stole the democracy that cost Nicaraguans so much work and so many deaths. But don't count Nicaragua out. It's a country that knows how to drive out dictators.

Maximum pressure failed in Venezuela. For as untrustworthy and criminally depraved as the Maduro government may be, absent the use of U.S. military power to effect regime change, continued international pressure to get the government and the opposition to a negotiating table is the only recourse the international community has, if it wants to address the devastating humanitarian crisis Maduro and Co. have wrought.
