Progressive Democrats turn on party leadership after government shutdown ends without healthcare guarantees
Several Democrats broke ranks with their party to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history in a move that has triggered backlash from rising progressive stars, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who questioned whether the 43-day standoff had been worth it.
The intraparty revolt has exposed a widening rift between Democratic leadership and its left flank, as progressive candidates accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of surrendering leverage to Republicans and President Donald Trump in exchange for a funding deal that left key healthcare priorities unresolved.
«We have federal workers across the country that have been missing paychecks. We have SNAP recipients, millions of SNAP recipients across the country whose access to food stability was imperiled, and we have to figure out what that was for,» Ocasio-Cortez said, before adding, «We cannot enable this kind of cruelty with our cowardice.»…READ MORE.

Newsom staffer who told California reporter to ‘f— off’ is raking in massive taxpayer-funded salary

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Isaac «Izzy» Gardon, a longtime Gavin Newsom staffer who made headlines earlier this week for telling a national reporter to «f— off» after she pressed him on the California governor’s reported dyslexia diagnosis, is raking in a hefty six-figure salary, a Fox News Digital review found.
While Newsom’s dyslexia diagnosis has been public for decades, interest in the matter was amplified amid the California governor’s book tour he launched this month. During one of his first stops on the tour, in Atlanta, Newsom was asked about his dyslexia in conversation with Democratic Mayor of Atlanta Andre Dickens, who asked what he hoped readers would take away from the discussion about his diagnosis in the governor’s new book.
«I’m like you. I’m no better than you. You know, I’m a 960 SAT guy,» Newsom said in response, garnering criticism online that he was pandering to the Black community.
Amid the rebukes from MAGA world and Republicans, Real Clear Politics (RCP) national correspondent Susan Crabtree reached out to Gardon for verification on his childhood disability diagnosis. In response, Gardon told her to «respectfully, f— off.»

The testy response led to further criticism targeting Newsom’s office and Gardon, including from RCP’s Carl Cannon, who questioned why people who are offended so deeply by Trump «consistently imitate his worst behavior.» Newsom’s press office has been known to meet the White House’s pointed and often hostile social media posts targeting Democrats, which frequently include AI generated images, with similarly hostile social media posts targeting Trump and Republicans.
When reached for comment on this story, Gardon told Fox News Digital that «Susan is not a journalist.»
«She’s a MAGA blogger who writes about conspiracy theories,» Gardon added.
Transparent California, a statewide public pay and pension database, revealed that Gardon is being paid quite handsomely to be one of Newsom’s most ardent defenders online. Gardon has risen in stature from an administrative assistant making around $30,000 per year in 2019, to earning $212,154.02 in 2024 as a senior assistant and a in Newsom’s office.

Gardon’s «regular pay» in 2024 was $152,091.05. That was also supplemented by nearly $57,000 in benefits and another $3,141.16 in «other pay,» according to the database, leading to a combined annual payment of $212,154.02. However, his current pay, which does not appear to be publicly available online, is likely to be higher.
Following news of Gardon’s response to Crabtree’s follow-up, a senior reporter for the California Post also shared an email from Gardon in response to one of his media inquiries.
In Gardon’s response, he referred to the New York Post as the «New York Comic Book.» Then, when Koehn followed up, indicating the San Francisco Chronicle was covering the same story, Gardon replied, «I’d put that outlet in the same bucket,» according to Koehn, who posted screenshots of the pair’s back-and-forth on X.

While some top Newsom staffers have praised Gardon’s style, including his boss and senior advisor of communications, Bob Salladay, who told Politico that «Izzy’s creativity and imagination is part of what the governor is doing.» Some Democratic operatives have vocally been critical about his communication style, including Garry Tan, a prolific Democratic donor and CEO of Y Combinator
«Most unprofessional person to ever work in politics,» Tan posted on X. «Izzy Gardon brings shame to the Newsom campaign.»
Gardon also came under fire earlier this month when he referred to rapper and MAGA activist Nicki Minaj as a «stupid hoe» on X. He defended his social media post by pointing to her 2012 song called, «Stupid Hoe.»

Más rápido que un avión: así es el tren sin vías que busca unir Londres y París en solo 20 minutos

El futuro del transporte europeo podría cambiar para siempre con la llegada del hyperloop. Un tren sin vías, capaz de conectar Londres y París en solo 20 minutos, se prueba actualmente en el norte de los Países Bajos. El sistema propone cápsulas que viajan en tubos de vacío a velocidades superiores a los 965 km/h, desafiando el concepto tradicional de distancia.
El portal de noticias internacional O Globo precisó que el proyecto impulsado por el Centro Europeo de Hyperloop en Veendam busca revolucionar la manera de viajar entre capitales europeas. En una entrevista con The Telegraph, el director del centro, Kees Mark, reveló que esta tecnología puede transformar la mentalidad sobre los viajes de larga distancia.
Destacó que la posibilidad de llegar a otra capital en menos de una hora representa un cambio sin precedentes. De acuerdo con los ingenieros responsables, el sistema aprovecha la levitación magnética para desplazar las cápsulas, eliminando el contacto físico y reduciendo el desgaste mecánico. El Centro Europeo de Hyperloop, inaugurado en 2024, utiliza un tubo de pruebas de 400 metros para experimentar con prototipos y maniobras complejas.

Recientemente, los investigadores lograron un avance clave al realizar un cambio de carril en el interior del tubo sin piezas móviles, solo con imanes. La prueba se realizó a 88 km/h y, según los técnicos, representa un paso fundamental para escalar la tecnología a redes más extensas. La idea original del hyperloop surgió en 2013, cuando Elon Musk propuso el concepto en un documento técnico. Desde entonces, empresas y universidades de todo el mundo desarrollan versiones propias, aunque algunos proyectos, como Virgin Hyperloop en Estados Unidos, se detuvieron por dificultades económicas.
Uno de los mayores atractivos del hyperloop radica en la drástica reducción del tiempo de viaje. Actualmente, el trayecto en tren entre París y Ámsterdam dura más de tres horas, pero la nueva tecnología promete cubrir distancias similares en menos de media hora. La levitación magnética, combinada con la ausencia de aire en los tubos, permite alcanzar velocidades superiores a las de un avión comercial.
El Centro Europeo de Hyperloop se posiciona como referente en el desarrollo de esta tecnología. Ingenieros y técnicos trabajan para resolver desafíos relacionados con la seguridad, la eficiencia y el control de las cápsulas en movimiento. De acuerdo con los expertos, la ausencia de contacto físico reduce la fricción y prolonga la vida útil de los componentes, aunque mantener el vacío en largas distancias sigue siendo un reto técnico.

La capacidad de maniobrar sin partes móviles y el uso de sistemas digitales para coordinar el tráfico de cápsulas representan innovaciones clave. Los responsables del proyecto confían en que estas soluciones faciliten la expansión del hyperloop a nivel continental. El avance en los Países Bajos marca una diferencia frente a los intentos anteriores y mantiene la esperanza de ver trenes ultrarrápidos en funcionamiento en Europa.
A pesar del optimismo, el hyperloop enfrenta obstáculos importantes. Mantener el vacío en tubos de gran longitud y prevenir fugas requiere tecnología avanzada y un monitoreo constante. El financiamiento representa otro desafío, ya que construir infraestructuras a escala real implica inversiones millonarias. Según especialistas, la viabilidad económica dependerá del apoyo estatal y de la colaboración entre empresas privadas y gobiernos.
Los proyectos de hyperloop ya generan interés en países como Emiratos Árabes Unidos, India, Italia y China. Este último cuenta con una pista experimental de casi dos kilómetros y realiza pruebas de aceleración rápida con vehículos de levitación magnética. Sin embargo, la capacidad de transporte sigue siendo tema de debate. Los prototipos actuales transportan pocos pasajeros, lo que podría limitar la accesibilidad y mantener las tarifas altas.

Los defensores de la tecnología sostienen que el objetivo es operar cientos de cápsulas autónomas, coordinadas digitalmente y circulando bajo demanda. Esta visión contrasta con la imagen tradicional de trenes convencionales, aún presentes junto al túnel experimental en Veendam. El desarrollo de sistemas inteligentes para gestionar el tráfico será crucial para garantizar la eficiencia y la seguridad.
Si bien los avances continúan, el hyperloop aún se encuentra en etapa experimental. La transición hacia una red comercial requerirá años de pruebas, inversiones y validación por parte de los organismos reguladores. Los responsables del Centro Europeo de Hyperloop confían en que el sistema podrá operar en rutas internacionales antes de 2040, siempre que la financiación y la cooperación internacional acompañen el proceso.
El contraste entre el futuro prometido y la realidad actual sigue presente. Los trenes tradicionales circulan junto al laboratorio de pruebas de Veendam, recordando que la revolución del transporte rápido todavía depende de la superación de desafíos tecnológicos y económicos. La expectativa crece en Europa ante la posibilidad de acortar distancias y transformar los viajes de larga distancia en trayectos de minutos.
