Washington DC, Dec.14.– The House of Representatives on Wednesday, Dec. 13, formally launched its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The vote was 221-212. All Republicans voted in favor of the inquiry while no Democrats voted for the inquiry outlined in H. Res. 918.

“The facts don’t lie. It’s time to get the American people answers,” House Speaker Mike Johnson posted on X before the vote.

Why are House Republicans formalizing Biden’s impeachment inquiry? 

Several House Republicans have argued that by formalizing the inquiry, the chairmen of the three committees handling the investigation into Biden’s conduct will gain more power to compel interviews, obtain documents, and further the case that the president improperly benefitted from his son’s overseas deals. This move now allows Republican congressional investigators to collect more information about Biden’s alleged involvement in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings. 

GOP lawmakers have already issued an array of demands to executive branch agencies and the president’s son related to the probe, but argue that the Biden administration and Hunter Biden have so far done nothing but obstruct the investigation. 

• Foreign and Israeli sources say both sides are far from reaching a new cease-fire deal.

Tel Aviv, Dec.13.– The IDF is engaged in intense fighting in the Shujaiyeh neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, Hamas' last remaining stronghold in northern Gaza. It said it destroyed over 250 terror targets from the sea, land and air. The IDF estimates that even after the combat ends in Jabalya and Shujaiyeh, the military effort to dismantle Hamas will take a long time.

• Milei venció a Sergio Massa y fue elegido este domingo como el nuevo presidente electo de Argentina.
• ¿Un golpe definitivo al peronismo kirchnerista?
  

Buenos Aires, Nov. 19.– Más allá de lo que ocurriera este 19 de noviembre, es innegable que el candidato a la Presidencia por La Libertad Avanza, el libertario Javier Milei, logró que su discurso 'anticasta' y sus dichos y apariencia disruptivos agitaran el avispero de la política argentina.

Su provocador carisma y su rompedora manera de hablar de los políticos "chorros" (ladrones), junto con excentricidades como sortear su sueldo o decir abiertamente que sus mastines le aconsejan, fueron un imán para captar la atención de innumerables jóvenes y desencantados con la política -mayoritariamente hombres.

Por su parte, el candidato oficialista Sergio Massa reconoció esta noche del domingo la victoria del postulante libertario: "Me he comunicado con Javier Milei para felicitarlo y desearle suerte, porque es el presidente que la mayoría de los argentinos eligió para los próximos cuatro años", señaló Massa, actual ministro de Economía, ante sus seguidores.

Washington DC, Nov.17 (AP).– House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday he plans to publicly release thousands of hours of footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, making good on a promise he made to far-right members of his party when he was campaigning for the job.

“This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” Johnson said in a statement.
