  • Resumen

  • Today’s Headlines: For the second night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, speakers included Kari Lake, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley, who reversed her past criticism of Trump. Behind the scenes, Trump has secured significant financial backing, with Elon Musk pledging $45 million per month to America PAC and support from other notable donors like the Winklevoss twins and Palantir's co-founder. Silicon Valley figures Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, along with billionaire Peter Thiel, are also contributing to Trump's campaign. US intelligence is tracking an Iranian-backed assassination plot against Trump, though it's not linked to the recent Pennsylvania rally shooting, which occurred despite "enhanced" security. Meanwhile, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez was found guilty on 16 counts in a corruption trial involving bribes from foreign powers and businessmen. Democratic colleagues and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy are calling for his immediate resignation. On a different note, President Biden is working on a proposal to reform the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, an enforceable ethics code, and potentially a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders.
