La familia vicepresidencial está de celebración. Este martes, Usha Vance y el vicepresidente J. D. Vance compartieron la noticia de que se encuentran esperando un bebé, cuyo nacimiento está previsto para el próximo verano.

“Estamos muy emocionados de compartir la noticia de que Usha está embarazada de nuestro cuarto hijo, un niño. Usha y el bebé están bien, y todos estamos esperando con ansias darle la bienvenida a finales de julio”, dijeron en un comunicado conjunto publicado en las redes sociales.

Los Vance tienen tres hijos: Ewan, Vivek y Mirabel, quienes a menudo los han acompañado en viajes por todo el país y el mundo.

Esta será la primera vez que una segunda dama en funciones tenga un bebé mientras ocupa el cargo, aunque hay precedentes entre las primeras damas.

La primera dama Frances Cleveland, esposa del presidente Grover Cleveland, dio a luz a su hija Esther dentro de la Casa Blanca en 1893, y tuvo un segundo hijo, Marion, dos años después (nacida en Massachusetts).

La primera dama Jacqueline Kennedy tuvo un tercer hijo, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, en 1963, quien nació prematuramente en Cape Cod y falleció a los dos días de enfermedad de la membrana hialina.

El mensaje de los Vance describió el momento como “emocionante y ajetreado” y expresó su agradecimiento a los doctores militares y su personal.

Usha Vance, de 40 años, dejó su trabajo como abogada pública de alto perfil cuando su esposo se convirtió en el segundo al mando del presidente Donald Trump, y ha aparecido frecuentemente a su lado durante su primer año en el cargo.

Ha formado un pequeño equipo de colaboradores, ha adaptado a sus hijos a la vida en el Observatorio Naval y se ha instalado en el rol. Ha asumido la alfabetización infantil como plataforma, lanzando un reto de lectura de verano el año pasado.

Se espera que la pareja lidere la delegación estadounidense en la ceremonia de apertura de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno 2026 en Milán, Italia, el próximo mes.

WASHINGTON D.C. (KEYT) – On Wednesday, Congressman Salud Carbajal announced his support for Articles of Impeachment filed against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

The Articles of Impeachment (H. Res. 996) were introduced in the House of Representatives on Jan. 14, 2026, by Representative Robin Kelly of Illinois and detail three articles in defense of the motion to remove the cabinet member.

Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states that, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." and Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution grants the power to introduce impeachment proceedings to the House of Representatives.

Article one of the impeachment resolution is entitled "Obstruction of Congress" and provides three examples of violations that, according to Congresswoman Kelly, satisfy the statutory requirements for removal.

"Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem willfully violated Public Law No. 118-47 which states no funds appropriated to Department of Homeland Security 'may be used to prevent' 'a Member of Congress' 'from entering, for the purpose of conducting oversight, any facility operated by or for the Department of Homeland Security used to detain or otherwise house aliens'," noted Article I, Section 1 of the impeachment resolution. "Section 527 of the fiscal year 2024 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, as incorporated in Public Law No. 118-47, which specifically provides that it may not 'be construed to require a Member of Congress to provide prior notice of the intent to enter a Department of Homeland Security facility'."

The resolution then noted the following examples of members of Congress being refused access to federal detention facilities operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):

• June 17, 2025: A Representative from New York was refused access to the New York ICE Field Office after officials at the facility stated it was not a "detention facility" and subject to Section 527 oversight
• July 7, 2025: A California Representative was not allowed to tour the Los Angeles ICE Field Office as officials at the facility stated it was not a "detention facility" and subject to Section 527 oversight
• July 8-9, 2025: A Texas Representative was denied entry to the El Paso Service Processing Center because she did not provide the seven days advanced notice
• July 20, 2025: A Colorado Representative was denied entry to the ICE detention facility in Aurora, Colorado because he did not provide seven calendar days' notice
• July 21, 2025: Representatives from Colorado, Mississippi, and Maryland were refused entry by ICE personnel to the Washington ICE Field Office in Chantilly, Virginia, stating that the facility was not a "detention facility" subject to Section 527 oversight
• Aug. 30, 2025: A Representative from Washington was denied entry to the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington without explanation

"ICE Field Offices are not detention facilities and fall outside of the Sec. 527 requirements," argued a Ju

5 things

1⃣ Scathing speech

The CEO of Europe’s biggest airline said his ongoing battle with tech billionaire Elon Musk has boosted the budget carrier’s ticket sales, so he’s not in any hurry to patch things up.

5⃣ ‘Contracts mean something’

Duke’s star quarterback wants to transfer, but the university sued to keep him from leaving. This marks the latest twist in college football’s complex landscape, and it all boils down to one thing.
