"Long before the first 13 states ratified the Constitution or General George Washington crossed the Delaware, and well before the Mayflower sailed toward Cape Cod, a rolling patch of high desert in what would someday become the American Southwest was known as Nuevo México."

President Trump has no authority to change the state’s name, but his suggestion has constituted fighting words to proud New Mexicans.

"It’s clear that Latin America has an ascendant right wing under U.S. influence, said Pamela K. Starr, a professor of political science and international relations at the University of Southern California. Morena, the party that Sheinbaum leads, genuinely seems to believe there’s an international far-right movement that has taken over most of Latin America and that efforts to weaken Mexico’s left-wing political leadership come from Washington. How Mexican observers view Sheinbaum’s protectionism, meanwhile, is something of a political Rorschach test."

The leftist Mexican president seeks to block Washington's meddling with new citizenship requirements. Critics say it's authoritarian.

"Drug cartels across Mexico increasingly are turning to car bombs, explosives-laden drones and improvised explosive devices, a trend that could further strain Mexico’s already tense relationship with President Trump, who repeatedly has threatened military action against the cartels."

The latest explosion occurred outside a police station in Ojocaliente, a small city 360 miles northwest of Mexico City. No one was killed, but the 440 pounds of explosives injured 11 people and damaged more than 60 homes in the city center, Mexico's security chief, Omar García Harfuch, said.

"But behind closed doors, the first-term senator shows little interest in doing the job beyond cultivating relationships with conservative media figures and advocating for Israel, according to interviews with more than a dozen former staffers and lawmakers, as well as text messages and other internal records."

The first-term senator, poised to be a possible swing vote, churns through staff as he alienates fellow Democrats and defends Israel.
