The family of Israeli-American hostage pleads with Biden and Trump to bring hostages home
In a heart-wrenching plea, the family of Israeli-American journalist Austin Tice appealed to Presidents Biden and Trump to bring him home. Tice has been held captive in Syria since 2012, and his loved ones fear the window for his release is narrowing. The family implored both Presidents to put aside political differences and work together for Tice’s safe return. They expressed hope that Biden’s recent meeting with Russian President Putin would yield a positive outcome, as Russia has been involved in Syria’s civil war. With each passing day, Tice’s family’s desperation grows, and they urge the Presidents to act swiftly to end his long ordeal.

Kamala Harris Sells Faux Unity — Yet Again
Kamala Harris promueve falsa unidad, una vez más
En un discurso reciente, la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris instó a la unidad nacional, pero sus palabras están en contradicción con su historial. Como fiscal general de California, Harris se opuso constantemente a las reformas de justicia penal, apoyando políticas que han llevado al encarcelamiento masivo de personas negras y latinas.
A pesar de su retórica de unidad, Harris ha abrazado la política partidista y ha perpetuado divisiones. Su discurso reciente fue parte de un esfuerzo más amplio para atraer a los votantes afroamericanos, un grupo demográfico clave para el Partido Demócrata.
Queda por ver si los votantes estarán convencidos por los mensajes de unidad de Harris. Hasta el momento, su historial ha demostrado todo lo contrario.
