Remembering Rep. Charlie Rangel — and a voicemail I’ll never forget
I didn’t recognize the «917» New York number that called me.
But there was no question about who phoned after they left a message.
The caller on the voicemail was utterly unmistakable.
They didn’t say their name.
They didn’t have to.
«Chad, you’re the only one who missed me,» croaked the voice.
FORMER NY DEMOCRATIC REP CHARLIE RANGEL DEAD AT 94
It carried the sleekness of a stone crusher working over basalt in a West Virginia quarry.
The voicemail was from the late Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y. And he was essentially calling to assure me that he wasn’t dead.
After all, I was apparently the only member of the congressional press corps who noticed that the New York Democrat hadn’t voted nor been anywhere near the U.S. Capitol in several weeks.
There was no article in Roll Call. Nothing in Politico. No statement from his office.
Rangel just wasn’t around.

So I called and wound up speaking to his communications director Hannah Kim and chief of staff George Henry.
I inquired if Rangel was all right. They assured me he was. But they didn’t quite give me the full story. That was for Rangel to do.
And then Rangel himself called — from his sickbed — so I could hear his signature jackhammer-chopping-through-the-asphalt-of-Manhattan voice to prove to this reporter he was still among the living.
«I wanted you to hear it from me,» said Rangel.
EX-REP. CHARLIE RANGEL, 94, QUESTIONS WHETHER BIDEN BELONGS IN NURSING HOME, NOT WHITE HOUSE
It was 2012. Rangel was out because of a back injury and a viral infection, which made it difficult for him to stand for long periods of time. From 2008 through late 2010, I dogged Rangel through the halls of Congress on a daily basis as the veteran congressman grappled with an ethics scandal. The ethics case culminated in the House censuring Rangel, permanently smudging his record as a war hero, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
First elected to the House in 1970, Rangel’s star had dimmed after the ethics scandal. But in 2012, any information about an elderly, legendary congressman like Rangel was newsworthy. So, as a reporter on the Capitol Hill beat, I appreciated the phone call as he described the excruciating pain that beset him.
It’s possible the Ethics Committee investigation and censure by the House were more agonizing for Rangel than the back problem. Rangel was so confident that he didn’t violate House rules that he referred himself to the Ethics Committee.

Rangel started to feel the ethics heat in 2008. He used his position as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee to solicit funds for a school in his name at City College of New York. He failed to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes or rental income on a villa he owned in the Dominican Republic.
A rent-controlled apartment in Harlem doubled as a campaign office. He improperly parked his broken-down, 1972 silver Mercedes-Benz in the garage of the Rayburn House Office Building. The House prohibits lawmakers from using the garage for storage. The Benz lacked plates, wasn’t registered and apparently hadn’t been driven in about four years. A Falls Church, Virginia, towing company lugged the car out of the garage on Sept. 19, 2008.
Video of the tow-truck hauling away the Mercedes-Benz from Rayburn would have made a juicy story the next morning on TV. But Rangel caught a break.
Sort of.
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC REP GERRY CONNOLLY DEAD AT 75
Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., summoned then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to Capitol Hill that night. The U.S. economy teetered on the verge of an epic financial collapse. By nightfall, it was clear just how bad the nation’s economy was. Everyone temporarily forgot about Rangel. In fact, the inoperable Benz may have been in better shape than some American car companies at that moment.
But the House Ethics Committee was investigating Rangel. An inquiry started in 2009 and culminated in his censure on the House floor in 2010. The House voted 333-79 to discipline Rangel. A somber Rangel presented himself in the well of the House chamber, hands folded in front of him as though he were about to receive Communion. Pelosi doled out her admonition from the dais and lightly rapped the gavel.
«He violated the public trust,» said then-Ethics Committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.
It was the first censure of a House member in 27 years.

Years later, I half-jokingly told Rangel that he could blame me for his problems with the Ethics Committee.
As stated earlier, it was Rangel who believed his actions were beyond reproach. So he sent himself before the Ethics Committee to review his conduct.
I entered the Capitol one morning in 2008 and discovered his longtime aide, Emile Milne, wandering the basement. I asked Milne what he was looking for. He waived an overstuffed envelope at me.
«The Ethics Committee,» said Milne.
DEMOCRATS’ BOILING POT: A LOOK AT THEIR 2026 GAME PLAN
This was the actual «self-referral» to the Ethics Committee. And Milne was the courier of a dossier Rangel would use to defend himself.
I knew exactly where the Ethics Committee was located in those days in the Capitol catacombs. So I escorted Milne to the door.
As I said, I told Rangel he could blame all of his problems on me.

Between 2008 and 2010, I staked out Rangel somewhere at the Capitol nearly every day. The day Pelosi summoned him to her office. The day Pelosi removed him as Ways and Means Committee chairman. The day he spoke at length on the House floor to defend himself against the allegations after the ethics panel formalized its inquiry.
One night, a scrum of reporters caught Rangel in the hallway off the House floor and pelted him with a barrage of questions. Rangel briefly answered. Then deflected. He then decided he had enough as scribes fired questions at him with the speed of a Gatling gun.
Rangel sighed, exasperated at what to do.
«Sergeant Charles B. Rangel. 85718162!» hollered Rangel. «And that’s all I’m going to say about it!»
It’s unclear if the other reporters understood what just happened. But I did.
BY DAWN’S EARLY LIGHT: BATTLES TRUMP’S ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ WILL FACE IN THE SENATE
Rangel served in the Army during the Korean War. He was wounded in the back by shrapnel and eventually led dozens of men out of a firefight and to safety. Multiple soldiers died, and others were taken prisoner. Rangel received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star with valor.
Rangel survived that day. But back on Capitol Hill, the news cycle had effectively taken Rangel prisoner. So he complied with the terms of the Geneva Convention. A prisoner of war is only compelled to provide enemy captors their name, rank and serial number. And after absorbing heavy fire from the press corps, Rangel had only one option.
It’s notable that someone with Rangel’s military record and Army service passed away on Memorial Day.

In August 2008, Rangel published his autobiography entitled «And I Haven’t Had a Bad Day Since.» The book chronicles how a high school dropout joined the Army and was wounded on the battlefield. Rangel chose to continue — eventually winding up in Congress as one of the most important lawmakers of the last 50 years. But Rangel then faced one of the harshest punishments Congress could dole out. It cost him his chairmanship and upended his reputation.
But Rangel was often philosophical about his fate and transgressions in Congress. He argued that despite the trouble, he still hadn’t had a bad day since that fateful battle in Kunu-ri, Korea in late 1950.
Back in 2012, I may have been the only one who noticed that Rangel was absent when he was suffering from a back issue and viral infection.

Vindman’s call to release Trump-MBS transcript reopens old questions in US-Saudi relationship
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Eugene Vindman, D-Va., is demanding that President Donald Trump release a 2019 call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saying the American people «deserve to know what was said» in the aftermath of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Vindman, a retired Army colonel who once served on Trump’s National Security Council, said the call was one of two that deeply concerned him — the other being the 2019 conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that triggered Trump’s first impeachment.
Standing beside Hanan Elatr Khashoggi, the slain journalist’s widow, Vindman said Trump «sidelined his own intelligence community to shield a foreign leader» and that transparency is owed to both the Khashoggi family and the country.
«The Khashoggi family and the American people deserve to know what was said on that call,» Vindman said Friday. «Our intelligence agencies concluded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of Mr. Khashoggi’s husband. When the president sidelined his own intelligence community to shield a foreign leader, America’s credibility was at stake.»

TRUMP SECURES RELEASE OF AMERICAN TRAPPED IN SAUDI ARABIA FOR YEARS OVER ONLINE POSTS
Vindman’s name already is polarizing in Trump-era politics.
He and his twin brother, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, became central figures in the first impeachment attempt against Trump, when their internal reporting of Trump’s Ukraine call led to accusations from conservatives that they had undermined an elected president. To Trump’s allies, Eugene Vindman’s demand to release the 2019 Saudi call feels like a replay of that fight — another attempt by a former National Security Council insider to damage the president under the banner of transparency.
Still, his comments land at a revealing moment. Washington’s embrace of bin Salman underscores a familiar trade-off in U.S. foreign policy: strategic security and economic interests over accountability and human rights.
«Trump doesn’t give a fist pump. I grab that hand,» Trump told reporters Tuesday. «I don’t give a hell where that hand’s been — I grab that hand.» (Nathan Howard/Politico/Bloomberg via Getty Images)
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: «The U.S.-Saudi friendship is now a partnership for the future. President Trump’s historic agreements with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from defense to investment, will create quality jobs for Americans and will grow our economy. No virtue-signaling. No lecturing. Only results for the American people.»
White House relations
Trump’s latest visit with bin Salman brought sweeping defense and investment deals, even as questions over 9/11 and Khashoggi’s murder continue to test that balance. The United States granted Saudi Arabia major non-NATO ally status, formally elevating the kingdom’s defense and intelligence partnership with Washington and clearing the way for expedited arms sales and joint military programs.
Bin Salman also pledged nearly $1 trillion in new Saudi investments across U.S. industries, including infrastructure, artificial intelligence and clean energy. The commitments were announced alongside a Strategic Defense Agreement that includes purchases of F-35 fighter jets, roughly 300 Abrams tanks and new missile defense systems, as well as joint ventures to expand manufacturing inside Saudi Arabia.
Administration officials said the initiatives would create tens of thousands of American jobs and strengthen the U.S. industrial base.
During his appearance with Trump at the White House, reporters shouted questions about Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in the Sept. 11 attacks and the 2018 killing of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul — marking a rare moment of public pressure on the crown prince, who typically avoids unscripted exchanges with the press.
Trump accused the press of trying to «embarrass» his guest, but the crown prince offered what sounded like regret for the killing of Khashoggi, even as he denied involvement.
«A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about,» Trump said. «Whether you like him or don’t like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it … We can leave it at that. You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that.»
ABC reporter Mary Bruce had told bin Salman that U.S. intelligence determined he’d signed off on the killing and that 9/11 families were «furious» about his presence in the White House. «Why should Americans trust you?»
«It’s been painful for us in Saudi Arabia,» bin Salman said of the killing, calling it «a huge mistake.» «We’ve improved our system to be sure that nothing happens like that again,» he added.

TRUMP DESIGNATES SAUDI ARABIA AS MAJOR NON-NATO ALLY DURING CROWN PRINCE WHITE HOUSE VISIT
A 2021 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated: «We assess that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.»
Bin Salman has repeatedly denied approving the killing, though he said in 2019, «It happened under my watch, I take full responsibility as a leader.»
Sept. 11, 2001
The question of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks remains one of the most sensitive and unresolved issues in the U.S.-Saudi relationship. While 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals, the U.S. government has never concluded that the Saudi state or senior Saudi officials had prior knowledge of or directed the attacks.
Families of 9/11 victims condemned bin Salman after he invoked Usama bin Laden during his White House remarks, saying the al Qaeda leader used Saudi nationals to drive a wedge between Washington and Riyadh.
«We have to focus on reality,» the crown prince said. «Reality is that Usama bin Laden used Saudi people in that event for one main purpose: to destroy the American–Saudi relationship. That’s the purpose of 9/11.»
«The Saudi crown prince invoking Usama bin Laden this afternoon in the White House does not change the fact that a federal judge in New York ruled a few short months ago that Saudi Arabia must stand trial for its role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks that murdered 3,000 of our loved ones,» said Brett Eagleson, president of 9/11 Justice, a group representing victims’ families.

In August 2025, U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels issued a landmark ruling bringing Saudi Arabia under U.S. federal jurisdiction for a 9/11 trial. The court found evidence of a network of Saudi officials inside the U.S. who allegedly provided logistical support to the hijackers, citing «prior planning» and «constant coordination.»
Among the materials described in the ruling was a drawing seized from a Saudi government operative showing an airplane with flight-path equations — evidence prosecutors said suggested advance knowledge of the attacks.
Saudi Arabia has denied any role, calling the allegations «categorically false.»
But for bin Salman, who came to Washington seeking to highlight new security and economic ties, the families’ sharp rebuke was a reminder that the 9/11 case still looms large in the public eye, even as the Trump administration deepens its partnership with Riyadh.

La derecha avanza en la región: ¿puede haber un brusco giro ideológico en Chile, Colombia y Brasil?
El mapa ideológico de la región está girando a la derecha y más allá.
Tras el fin de 20 años de gobiernos de izquierda en Bolivia y la asunción del centroderechista Rodrigo Paz, ahora Chile se prepara para dar un viraje de 180 grados con el amplio favoritismo de José Antonio Kast en el balotaje del 14 de diciembre sobre la comunista Jeannette Jara.

Pero este giro ideológico puede ahondarse en el corto plazo y mucho más el año próximo, incluso en un bastión de la izquierda en Centroamérica.
Así, en Honduras, la derecha es favorita, de la mano del empresario Nasry Asfura, alias “Papi a la orden”, en las elecciones presidenciales del 30 de este mes en las que se elegirá a la sucesora de la izquierdista Xiomara Castro.
Además, en 2026 la derecha buscará profundizar aún más su avance en tres países del área que celebrarán elecciones presidenciales: Perú, Colombia y hasta Brasil, el último gran bastión de la izquierda democrática en Sudamérica.
Cómo está hoy el mapa ideológico de la región
La derecha, con sus distintas vertientes, revirtió el dominio de la izquierda en la región.
Sus mayores representantes son Javier Milei, en Argentina; Santiago Peña; en Paraguay; Rodrigo Paz, en Bolivia; Daniel Noboa, en Ecuador, y hasta el democristiano José Jeri, de Perú.
La derecha más dura tiene amplias o buenas posibilidades -según el caso- de llegar al poder en Perú, Colombia y hasta en Brasil, donde Luiz Lula da Silva se presenta como el dique de contención de la izquierda, junto al pragmático Yamandú Orsi en Uruguay, contra el fuerte avance de la ultraderecha en el área.

El panorama en los seis países que tendrán elecciones de aquí a fines de 2026 se presenta muy favorable para la derecha:
- Honduras: los candidatos opositores Nasry Asfura, del Partido Nacional, y Salvador Nasralla, del Partido Liberal, son favoritos para ganar las elecciones del 30 de este mes sobre la postulante oficialista de izquierda Rixi Moncada. Nasralla prometió que, de llegar a la presidencia, romperá relaciones con Venezuela
- Chile: el balotaje del 14 de diciembre tiene como favorito al ultraderechista José Antonio Kast, del Partido Republicano, sobre su rival oficialista Jeanette Jara, afiliada al Partido Comunista. “Kast ya ganó”, dijo a TN la analista chilena Marta Lagos, fundadora de la consultora Latinobarómetro y la encuestadora MORI Chile.

- Costa Rica: elegirá al sucesor del conservador Rodrigo Chávez el 1 de febrero. La candidata oficialista del Partido Pueblo Soberano (PPS), Laura Fernández, es la favorita de todas las encuestas.
- Perú: las elecciones se celebrarán el 12 de abril. Hoy, los mayores favoritos son el ultraderechista exalcalde de Lima Rafael López-Aliaga, apodado “Porki”, y la derechista Keiko Fujimori, hija del fallecido expresidente devenido en dictador Alberto Fujimori. Si bien Perú es conocido como el país de los “outsiders”, se espera un giro a la derecha tras el fracaso del izquierdista Pedro Castillo y de su vice y sucesora Dina Boluarte, ambos destituidos por el Congreso.

- Colombia: las elecciones se realizarán el 31 de mayo. El presidente Gustavo Petro enfrenta una fuerte impopularidad y la derecha aspira a volver al poder. “Aquí también se está dando ese crecimiento del enganche de gente de todos los niveles sociales” a la ultraderecha, dijo a TN el consultor argentino Ángel Beccassino, considerado un verdadero gurú de las estrategias políticas en el país. Un dirigente emergente es el abogado Abelardo de la Espriella, alias “El Tigre”. “Propone desde abandonar Naciones Unidas porque es un nido de izquierdistas, hasta ‘arrancarle las tripas´a los de izquierda», dijo el analista. Según Beccassino, “la derecha ultra estará en la segunda vuelta del año próximo” frente a un candidato de centroizquierda.
- Brasil: los comicios están convocados para el 4 de octubre del año próximo. Lula, a los 80 años, buscará la reelección frente a una derecha radical en crisis tras la condena a 27 años de prisión por golpismo contra Jair Bolsonaro. Pero pocos dudas del poder real del bolsonarismo. “Creo que seguirá siendo muy competitivo”, dijo a TN el analista Antonio Lavareda, presidente honorario de la Asociación Brasileña de Investigadores Electorales. La consultora Datrix reveló que en la dura lucha por la sucesión entre los hijos del expresidente, el senador Flavio Bolsonaro le está ganando la batalla a Eduardo Bolsonaro. Pero el gran favorito es Tarcisio de Freitas, fiel aliado del exmandatario y actual gobernador de San Pablo, que le ganaría a Lula en un eventual balotaje, según varias encuestas.

Desde la Casa Rosada ven este panorama como “esperanzador” para la política exterior argentina de alineamiento total con la Casa Blanca y su ofensiva contra la Venezuela de Nicolás Maduro, cada vez más aislada en la región,
Javier Milei quiere ahondar, en la segunda etapa de su gobierno, “en el ancla geopolítica” del modelo ideológico libertario. A juicio del presidente, EE.UU. necesita un “aliado firme” en la región para “ayudarle a ordenar un continente descarriado” por izquierda.

Las grandes ciudades modernas desafían la biología humana y podrían afectar su evolución, afirma un estudio
Vivir en grandes ciudades representa, para los científicos evolucionistas de la Universidad de Loughborough y la Universidad de Zúrich, un reto para la naturaleza humana. Según advierten, la acelerada urbanización desborda la capacidad de adaptación de nuestra especie y afecta el bienestar físico y mental.
El ser humano comenzó a modificar su entorno hace miles de años, pero la industrialización del siglo XVIII aceleró radicalmente la transformación del hábitat. En la actualidad, la mayor parte de la población mundial reside en áreas urbanas densas, expuesta a contaminación, ruido, luz artificial y con acceso limitado a la naturaleza.
En países como Canadá, Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, se estima que las personas pasan hasta el 93% del tiempo en espacios cerrados. Estas condiciones representan una ruptura drástica respecto de las que predominaron durante la evolución de la especie.
Según datos de la ONU citados en Biological Reviews, en 2018 el 55% de la humanidad ya vivía en ciudades y, para 2050, la cifra superará el 68%. Así, el Homo sapiens se ha convertido en una especie urbana, enfrentando desafíos que su biología no termina de asimilar.
La denominada hipótesis del desajuste ambiental advierte que la evolución humana, calibrada durante miles de generaciones en entornos naturales, no puede seguir el ritmo vertiginoso de las transformaciones urbanas.
“Nuestra biología fue moldeada por entornos naturales, pero la industrialización transformó el mundo más rápido de lo que nuestros cuerpos pueden adaptarse”, señaló Danny Longman, especialista en fisiología evolutiva humana de la Universidad de Loughborough, a Newsweek. Ese desfase —denominado “lag adaptativo”— expone al organismo a nuevos riesgos y desajustes para los que no está preparado.
- Función reproductiva: la fertilidad mundial desciende, y dos tercios de la población viven en países con tasas por debajo del reemplazo. Biological Reviews atribuye esta tendencia, entre otros factores, a la exposición cotidiana a contaminantes como pesticidas, microplásticos y productos químicos industriales. Estas sustancias alteran la producción hormonal y afectan la calidad del esperma y la salud reproductiva tanto de hombres como de mujeres.
- Función inmunológica: el sistema inmunitario humano resulta menos eficiente en contextos urbanos por la menor exposición a microorganismos beneficiosos y el aumento de agentes contaminantes en el aire, el ruido y la luz artificial. Esto favorece las alergias, enfermedades autoinmunes e inflamaciones crónicas. Estudios recientes indican que niños y adultos urbanos muestran más alergias y menor respuesta inmunitaria que quienes viven en contacto frecuente con la naturaleza.
- Cognición: la sobrestimulación digital, el ruido, la contaminación y la falta de áreas verdes impactan en la atención, la memoria y la flexibilidad mental. Investigaciones muestran que quienes crecen en barrios densamente urbanizados presentan desarrollos cognitivos más lentos y mayores riesgos de deterioro cerebral en la adultez. Incluso caminar en entornos urbanos puede disminuir el rendimiento intelectual frente al contacto con la naturaleza.
- Condición física: la fuerza y la resistencia físicas también se ven perjudicadas por el sedentarismo, la contaminación y la ausencia de espacios verdes. Niños y adolescentes urbanos tienen peor condición cardiovascular y muscular en comparación con sus pares rurales. En personas adultas, la debilidad y el declive funcional aparecen a edades más tempranas, relacionados con la exposición a partículas contaminantes y la falta de movimiento.
El estrés crónico es uno de los efectos más extendidos de la vida urbana. “El ruido constante, las multitudes, el tráfico, la sobrecarga digital y la escasez de escenarios naturales mantienen nuestro sistema de alerta en estado de activación permanente”, advierte Longman. Esto se traduce en aumento de ansiedad, alteraciones del sueño, trastornos cardiovasculares, síntomas inmunológicos y reproductivos, y deterioro cognitivo.
La evidencia científica lo respalda: Biological Reviews confirma que la exposición diaria a ambientes industrializados incrementa los biomarcadores de estrés y eleva la incidencia de trastornos psicológicos y físicos. Por el contrario, la presencia de espacios verdes en el entorno actúa como factor protector, moderando los efectos negativos del estrés y mejorando la salud integral.
El trabajo liderado por Longman y su equipo señala que la biología de nuestra especie está profundamente condicionada por la herencia evolutiva en contacto con la naturaleza, lo que vuelve difícil la adaptación a un entorno urbano hiperacelerado y artificial. Según los autores, el desajuste entre el diseño biológico y el hábitat citadino explica en buena parte la tendencia al aumento de problemas reproductivos, inmunológicos, cognitivos y físicos observados en poblaciones urbanas.
El análisis final sugiere que el proceso de urbanización, si bien aportó avances tecnológicos y sociales, también ha generado consecuencias imprevistas a nivel biológico. En síntesis, la especie humana enfrenta el desafío evolutivo de habitar ciudades que en muchos aspectos resultan incompatibles con su organismo.
