NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized the media for reporting on rifts within the Democratic Party amidst what he called a «fascist» takeover of the country by President Donald Trump.
Walz gave a fiery speech on Monday in front of Democrats gathered for the party’s summer strategy meetings in Minneapolis, where Democratic leadership are attempting to unify a party riddled with internal division.
During the speech, Walz, a progressive who served as former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024, opined about his and Harris’ 2024 election loss, saying, «We know [Harris] was the most qualified and would have been a fantastic president.»
«We wouldn’t wake up every day to a bunch of s*** on TV and a bunch of nonsense,» he asserted. «We would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership doing the work. Not a man child crying about whatever’s wrong with him.»

He doubled down on some of the Democratic Party’s more controversial platforms, saying, «We’re not shying away from diversity as a strength and equity as a goal and inclusion being the air we breathe. That’s what we should be doing.»
Though doubling down on DEI, Walz criticized the media for reporting on Democratic infighting. He urged Democrats, «Don’t take the bait.»
«It boggles my d*** mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities and the attempt to go into others, their flaunting of the rule of law, the cruelness and the unconstitutional nature of the way they’re attacking our neighbors, that the press finds the need to talk about, ‘Oh, there’s a division in the Democratic Party,’» he railed, adding, «There’s a division in my d*** house and we’re still married, and things are good. That’s life!»
«We can have our internal decision-making, our internal healthy debates. But – I refuse to believe – we do not have the luxury to fight amongst ourselves while that thing sits in the White House,» said Walz as the crowd broke into cheers.

He asserted that Democrats «are strong because we’re held accountable,» while he lamented it is easy to be a Republican.
«Think of how easy it would be to be a d*** Republican. Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid fricking red hat? What should I say today? I don’t know, just make sure it’s cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy? Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, I listen to him, and that will be fine,» he said.
He went on to accuse Trump of unleashing fascist policies on the U.S., saying, «I always get in trouble for it, I’ll continue to say it, I don’t think we do any favors when we don’t name it, these are fascist policies … That is what they are.»
Commenting on Trump signing an executive order to crack down on the burning of the American flag, he accused the president of being concerned about flags with his face on them.

«Now he’s talking about burning flags. He’s going to have flag burning or whatever, because he knows there’s a hell of a lot of flags with his picture on it that are going to get burned. There’s a whole lot of that kind of crap that people are sick of,» he said.

Concluding his remarks, Walz urged Democrats to start «running to a better future.»
«A future that includes everyone, a future where our children are valued and lifted up, a future where immigrants are celebrated just like our grandparents and parents were, a future where we ask people to pay their fair share while we make life a little bit easier for others, and we find joy in the things that you find personally joyful and I don’t give a d*** what your neighbor thinks about those things,» he said. «Those are the things that we are here for.»

El cofundador del cartel de Sinaloa se declaró culpable en EE.UU. y podría ir a prisión de por vida
El mexicano Ismael “Mayo” Zambada, cofundador del poderoso cartel de Sinaloa en los años 80, se declaró este lunes culpable de narcotráfico ante un tribunal de Nueva York.
Con esta decisión, evitó ser procesado en un juicio público, pero perdió su derecho a revocar la sentencia que le impondrá el juez encargado Brian Cogan.

El magistrado advirtió que cada uno de los 17 delitos de los que se declaró culpable conllevan pena de cadena perpetua. La sentencia se conocerá el 13 de enero próximo.
Su antiguo socio, Joaquín “Chapo” Guzmán, cumple una pena de cadena perpetua en Estados Unidos. De hecho, Zambada acusó a Joaquín Guzmán López, uno de los hijos del capo narco, de haberle tendido una trampa el 25 de julio de 2024 cuando fue detenido en suelo estadounidense.
La confesión de Ismael “Mayo” Zambada: “Culpable”
Ante el tribunal, Zambada admitió los hechos. “Reconozco el enorme daño que las drogas ilegales le han causado a personas en Estados Unidos y México”, dijo a través de un intérprete. “Me disculpo por todo eso y asumo la responsabilidad de mis actos”, añadió.
Zambada, que dijo tener 75 años y no 77 como se había informado hasta ahora, fue uno de los “más prolíficos y poderosos narcotraficantes del mundo”, según la justicia estadounidense
“Culpable”, dijo en español con voz casi inaudible, de los cargos de empresa criminal continuada entre 1989 y enero de 2024, y conspiración en grupo criminal para lavar de dinero, perpetrar asesinatos, secuestros y tráfico de drogas entre el 1 de enero de 2000 y el 11 de abril de 2012.
Zambada pidió perdón a “quienes han sufrido” por sus acciones y reconoció que “la organización que dirigía promovió la corrupción” en México, “pagando sobornos a policías, comandantes militares y a políticos”. También debe pagar una multa de 15.000 millones de dólares. Una vieja fotografía de Ismael «Mayo» Zambada (Foto: Procuración de México/vía Reuters)
El juez instructor, Brian Cogan, fijó para el 13 de enero de 2026 el anuncio su sentencia, aunque dejó claro desde ya que el primer cargo es pasible de cadena perpetua.
Zambada dijo que es consciente de que con el acuerdo de culpabilidad renuncia a sus derechos constitucionales de ir a juicio y de apelar una posible sentencia desfavorable.

En su declaración ante la justicia, admitió haber enviado “1500 toneladas” de cocaína a Estados Unidos y dijo que nunca había consumido drogas. Además, reconoció que sus acciones “constituyen graves violaciones de las leyes antidroga de los Estados Unidos” y aceptó “toda la responsabilidad” por el mal que hizo.
La fiscalía había anunciado a principios de agosto que renunciaba a pedir la pena de muerte en su caso, pese a que Zambada no estaba amparado por un acuerdo de extradición con México, que excluye la pena capital. Su abogado, Frank Pérez, aseguró que el pacto con la fiscalía “no es un acuerdo de cooperación”.
“Puedo afirmar categóricamente que no existe ningún acuerdo por el que esté cooperando con el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos ni con ningún otro gobierno”, dijo en una declaración tras la audiencia.
“Mi cliente (…) hace un pedido a la población de Sinaloa para que mantenga la calma, actúe con moderación y evite la violencia”, ante la guerra desatada entre su clan y los herederos del Chapo que causó más de un millar de muertos.
“El derramamiento de sangre no sirve para nada, solo profundiza las heridas y prolonga el sufrimiento. Insta a su comunidad a mirar hacia la paz y la estabilidad para el futuro del estado”, señaló.
El Chapo fue condenado a cadena perpetua en Estados Unidos tras un mediático juicio en 2018.
Pese a que sus jefes históricos están en la cárcel en Estados Unidos, el cartel de Sinaloa, considerado como la mayor organización de narcotráfico del mundo, sigue operando a través de nuevas generaciones y redes logísticas asentadas en ambos lados de la frontera.

The House Oversight Committee took significant steps to widen its probe into Jeffrey Epstein on Monday, including subpoenaing the late pedophile’s estate.
Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to attorneys representing Epstein’s estate, requesting a slew of documents by Sept. 8.
«The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is reviewing the possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation of Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell, the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein’s death, the operation of sex-trafficking rings and ways for the federal government to effectively combat them, and potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials,» Comer wrote.
«It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committee’s investigation and legislative goals. Further, it is our understanding the Estate is ready and willing to provide these documents to the Committee pursuant to a subpoena.»

Comer also announced that the committee would hear from Alexander Acosta, a former Trump administration labor secretary who also served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida when Epstein entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the federal government in 2008.
Acosta is appearing before the committee for a closed-door transcribed interview on Sept. 19. He was not compelled via subpoena.
The controversial agreement, which Acosta signed off on, was concealed from more than 30 of Epstein’s underaged victims, according to The Miami Herald.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to two state charges in Florida of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution, avoiding more severe federal charges. He ended up serving 13 months in county jail with the benefit of a work-release program, made confidential settlements with some victims, and registered as a sex offender.
It also allowed co-conspirators to avoid charges – a major point of contention during his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell’s federal trial in late 2021. It’s also the basis of Maxwell’s appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn her guilty verdict.
Documents subpoenaed by Comer include all entries in a book compiled by Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday, Epstein’s will, and information on the non-prosecution agreement.

Information is being sought on Epstein’s financial transactions, call and visitor logs, and «any document or record that could reasonably be construed to be a potential list of clients involved in sex, sex acts, or sex trafficking facilitated by Mr. Jeffrey Epstein,» according to a copy of the subpoena viewed by Fox News Digital.
An attorney for the executors of Epstein’s estate told Fox News Digital they were reviewing the subpoena. «As the Co-Executors have always said, they will comply with all lawful process in this matter, and that includes the Committee’s subpoena,» the attorney said.
The House Oversight Committee sent a flurry of subpoenas regarding Epstein earlier this month, kicking off a bipartisan investigation into the late pedophile.
Comer sought depositions from former FBI directors Robert Mueller and James Comey, ex-attorneys general Bill Barr and Loretta Lynch, as well as former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Barr testified last week.
The subpoenas were directed via a bipartisan vote during an unrelated House Oversight subcommittee hearing on illegal immigrant children in late July.
Renewed interest in Epstein’s case has gripped Capitol Hill after the DOJ’s handling of the matter spurred a GOP revolt by far-right figures.
The DOJ effectively declared the case closed after an «exhaustive review,» revealing Epstein had no «client list,» did not blackmail «prominent individuals,» and confirmed he did die by suicide in a New York City jail while awaiting prosecution.
Democrats seized on the discord with newfound calls for transparency in Epstein’s case, spurring accusations of hypocrisy from their Republican colleagues.
Indeed, the bipartisan unity that the investigation was kicked off with quickly disintegrated after the first witness, Barr, was deposed last week.

Reps. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., and Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who attended part of Barr’s deposition, left the room roughly halfway through the sit-down and accused Republicans of insufficiently probing questions during their allotted time to depose Barr.
Comer, who argued those accusations were baseless, implored Democrats not to politicize a bipartisan investigation.
Divisions deepened after Comer said Barr had no knowledge of, nor did he believe, any implications of wrongdoing on President Donald Trump’s part related to Epstein.
House Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., who was not in the room, released a statement after the deposition, claiming Barr did not clear Trump.
