  • Resumen

  • Today’s Headlines: Massive blackouts hit Spain, Portugal, France, and Germany, disrupting airports, hospitals, and transport, with no clear cause yet identified. Meanwhile, tensions escalate between India and Pakistan following a deadly attack in Kashmir. The conclave to pick Pope Francis’s successor is set to begin May 7. In Canada, elections took place amid website outages and a campaign shaken by Trump’s threats to annex the country. Back in the U.S., Trump marks 100 days in office with executive orders targeting sanctuary cities, expanding legal protections for police, and enforcing English proficiency for truck drivers. His administration also launched a civil rights investigation into the Harvard Law Review over alleged racial bias. A Senate investigation revealed Elon Musk’s businesses could avoid over $2 billion in legal liabilities thanks to influence over federal agencies. Finally, Representative Gerry Connolly announced he’ll step down due to a cancer recurrence, opening the door for AOC and others to vie for House Oversight leadership.
