Socialism goes west as DSA-backed challenger ousts longtime Democrat
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., a 30-year incumbent, lost to a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed challenger in a high-profile primary on Tuesday evening.
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old socialist, defeated DeGette in a Democratic primary for a deep-blue House seat anchored in Denver, according to The Associated Press, scoring a major victory for the socialist left on Tuesday evening.
The DSA had been aiming to cast DeGette’s loss as evidence of its growing momentum after a slate of socialist candidates won Democratic primaries in New York City last week.
«Today, the East Coast, next week the Mountain West,» the DSA wrote in a social media post last week.

SOCIALISTS CHEER ‘SHOCKWAVE’ PRIMARY NIGHT AS DSA-BACKED CANDIDATES WIN, ADVANCE ACROSS THE MAP
If elected in November, Kiros, who was born in Ethiopia, will likely join the ranks of the far-left group known as the Squad and become one of a handful of the House chamber’s outspoken socialists.
The millennial challenger was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and the anti-incumbent leftist organization Justice Democrats. Controversial socialist streamer Hasan Piker, who has said Hamas is «a thousand times better» than Israel and praised the Chinese Communist Party, also backed Kiros’ insurgent primary run.
DeGette, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who supports abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sought to win a 16th House term by flexing her leftist bona fides. She argued her seniority on an influential House committee would allow her to push for Medicare-for-All legislation — a longtime priority of the party’s far-left flank.
DeGette, who was endorsed by former CPC Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., also spotlighted her experience as an impeachment manager during Trump’s second impeachment trial in 2021.
Though DeGette and Kiros shared few policy disagreements, they diverged sharply over Israel and antisemitism. Kiros also sharply criticized DeGette for accepting corporate PAC contributions.
Kiros, a PhD student and lawyer, was fired from a New York firm in 2023 after publishing an open letter, arguing that pro-Palestinian student protesters calling for the elimination of Israel were not antisemitic and appearing to defend Hamas.

She has also described the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks against the Jewish state as the «inevitable consequence of apartheid» and declined to characterize the deadly firebombing of protesters in Boulder last year who were urging the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza as antisemitic.
«I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,» Kiros told Colorado’s 9News in a recent television interview. «All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed.»
A June 2025 bipartisan resolution condemning the attack as part of a «rise in ideologically motivated attacks on Jewish individuals» won every present lawmaker’s support, except for Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who voted present.
Kiros has also suggested the United States deserved 9/11.
«Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response,» Kiros told 9News when asked if she thought the terror attack was «the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy.»
«And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to get rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place,» Kiros continued.
DeGette argued that Kiros’ embrace of Piker and her comments about antisemitism and 9/11 were disqualifying.
«I’m shocked and disgusted that Kiros is doubling down on excusing terrorism and the murder of innocent people,» the 30-year incumbent wrote on Facebook earlier this month.

Colorado’s 1st Congressional District is the most liberal seat in the state and voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris by 56 points in 2024.
The primary fight was further scrambled by University of Colorado Regent Wanda James, also running for DeGette’s seat. Though James did not pose the same threat as Kiros, her vote share could ultimately have swayed the contest.

Fitness influencer says Lufthansa told her she looked ‘naked,’ forced her to zip up before boarding flight
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Fitness influencer Edda Elisa Pilz says she was prevented from boarding a Lufthansa flight from Berlin to Austria until she covered up her athletic outfit, alleging an airline employee repeatedly called her «naked» during the encounter as temperatures reached 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
Pilz, 24, who boasts more than 500,000 followers on both Instagram and TikTok, shared a video describing the confrontation while preparing to board the Lufthansa flight during the summer heatwave. The video has since circulated widely on social media, where Pilz questioned whether the airline has a dress code for passengers and criticized what she described as the employee’s treatment of her.
Pilz said she was waiting to have her boarding pass scanned when a Lufthansa employee stopped her from boarding.

According to Pilz, the employee told her, «You cannot board like that,» before repeatedly telling her she was «naked.»
Pilz said she was wearing a matching athletic top and shorts and questioned why the outfit was considered inappropriate in the summer heat.
«What am I supposed to put on?» she said in the video. «What should I wear? It is clothing.»

According to Pilz, the employee told her she was not wearing «normal clothes» and instructed her to put something over her outfit before she would be allowed to board the aircraft.
Pilz said she put on a jacket but was then told she also had to zip it completely before being allowed to proceed.
She alleged the employee then blamed her for delaying the boarding process.

According to Pilz, the employee told her, «Because of you, we are now delayed. Because of you, the whole flight is delayed, because you are holding up all the traffic here.»
Pilz said she replied that she had simply asked for an explanation because she had never heard of an airline dress code.
She also claimed men wearing shorts were allowed to board the same flight without being stopped.
The influencer said the incident was less about whether Lufthansa has a clothing policy than the way she said she was treated by the employee.
«I can accept rules,» she said. «But the attitude was unacceptable.»
Pilz ended the video by directly questioning Lufthansa and asking whether the airline condones that type of customer service, adding that she was waiting for an official response.
Lufthansa’s General Conditions of Carriage do not appear to include a specific passenger dress code. The airline says it may refuse transportation under certain circumstances, including when a passenger’s conduct could significantly affect the «safety and security, the health or wellbeing of other passengers,» or for other operational or security reasons, but the policy does not specifically address athletic clothing.

China apuesta al multilateralismo y busca reforzar un sistema de gobernanza global más justo y racional
La República Popular China ha publicado recientemente un Libro Blanco titulado “Gobernanza Global más Justa y Equitativa: Principios, Propuestas y Acciones de China”, que expone de manera sistemática sus ideas, iniciativas y prácticas en materia de gobierno y orden internacional.
La difusión de este documento se produce en un momento en el que el mundo enfrenta desafíos de una magnitud sin precedentes para la paz y el desarrollo de la humanidad. El sistema internacional establecido tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial soporta embates derivados de conflictos geopolíticos, proteccionismo comercial, transición climática, brecha digital y crisis energéticas y alimentarias, entre otros problemas sin resolver.
En esa coyuntura, el presidente Xi Jinping presentó en septiembre de 2025 la Iniciativa para la Gobernanza Global (IGG), una plataforma geopolítica que se fundamenta en la salvaguardia de los propósitos y principios de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) y en una visión de gobierno mundial basado en la consulta extensiva, la construcción conjunta y los beneficios compartidos.
La iniciativa constituye la última contribución de China para la creación de un sistema de gobernanza global más justo y razonable, que también estructura sus cimientos en la igualdad soberana, el multilateralismo, la legalidad internacional, la orientación a la acción y el enfoque centrado en las personas.
Con el respaldo de alrededor de 160 países y organizaciones internacionales, y más de 60 naciones que se han adherido al Grupo de Amigos de la Gobernanza Global, China promueve esta iniciativa y la ejecuta con determinación en el terreno diplomático, a partir de una política exterior que se ha vuelto más nítida en los últimos años gracias al cumplimiento de los siguientes puntos:
Compromiso con la defensa de la paz mundial: Como segundo mayor contribuyente a las operaciones de mantenimiento de la paz de la ONU, China ha desplegado más de 50.000 efectivos en 29 misiones autorizadas por el Consejo de Seguridad. También ha impulsado la primera declaración conjunta de los líderes de las cinco potencias nucleares para prevenir una guerra, salvaguardando así la estabilidad estratégica global. Asimismo, ha fomentado el diálogo sobre los enfrentamientos, aportando soluciones pacíficas a disputas internacionales como las de Ucrania-Rusia, Palestina-Israel y otros conflictos en Medio Oriente.
Adhesión a la apertura, la cooperación y las ganancias compartidas: China respalda el sistema comercial multilateral centrado en la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) y se ha convertido en el principal socio comercial de más de 160 países y regiones. El volumen de comercio de mercancías con las naciones participantes en la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta alcanza los 3,5 trillones de dólares, con inversiones bidireccionales que superan los 240.000 millones de la misma moneda. Además, China ha aplicado políticas de arancel cero para los países africanos y los menos desarrollados, con los que mantiene relaciones diplomáticas. La modernización china continúa generando nuevas oportunidades y dinamismo para el desarrollo mundial.
Aplicación de un multilateralismo genuino. China es el segundo mayor contribuyente al presupuesto ordinario de la ONU y ha respalda el rol protagónico del organismo en las plataformas que promueven el multilateralismo. En foros como los BRICS, el G20 y la Organización de Cooperación de Shanghai, entre otros, China ha abogado por un rol más relevante del Sur Global, además de promover la creación de la Organización Internacional por Mediación (OIM) para resolver los vacíos legales que existían en la materia. También ha establecido el Fondo de Biodiversidad de Kunming, y presentado la Iniciativa Global sobre Seguridad de Datos y la Iniciativa de Gobernanza Global sobre Inteligencia Artificial, impulsando así mejoras del ordel mundial en nuevos ámbitos.
Fomento del intercambio y aprendizaje mutuo entre civilizaciones: China ha establecido más de 3.000 relaciones de ciudades hermanas con más de 150 países, aplicado la exención de visado unilateral para 50 países e implementado acuerdos de exención recíproca con 29 naciones. También ha impulsado que la Asamblea General de la ONU proclame el Día Internacional para el Diálogo entre Civilizaciones además de convocar a la Conferencia sobre el Diálogo de las Civilizaciones Asiáticas y al Foro de Civilizaciones Antiguas. Asimismo, ha organizado el Diálogo de Alto Nivel y la Cumbre entre el Partido Comunista de China (PCCh) y Partidos Políticos del Mundo, contribuyendo a la exploración nuevas vías de modernización y sistemas sociales.
La equidad, la justicia, la paz y la estabilidad constituyen aspiraciones comunes y perennes de toda la humanidad. La comunidad internacional reclama unánimemente que prime la imparcialidad sobre la hegemonía, la legalidad sobre el desorden, la cooperación sobre la confrontación y la acción concreta sobre la retórica vacía. En ese mundo, reformar y perfeccionar la gobernanza global es una urgencia que afecta al bienestar de toda la humanidad.
China está dispuesta a trabajar junto a todos los países, incluida la Argentina, para defender el papel central de la ONU, resolver conflictos mediante el diálogo y la consulta, promover la liberalización del comercio y la inversión, reforzar la voz y la representatividad de los países en desarrollo en los asuntos internacionales, y perfeccionar los marcos de gobernanza en ámbitos como el cambio climático, el espacio ultraterrestre, las regiones polares, el ciberespacio y la inteligencia artificial.
Mediante la implementación de la Iniciativa para la Gobernanza Global -y bajo los principios de laconsulta extensiva, construcción conjunta y beneficios compartidos- la comunidad internacional podrá edificar un sistema de gobernanza más justo y razonable, enfrentar conjuntamente los desafíos globales y avanzar juntos hacia el gran objetivo de la comunidad de futuro compartido de la humanidad.

Boy, 2, pulled alive from rubble six days after Venezuela’s devastating twin earthquakes
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Emergency workers in Venezuela on Tuesday rescued a 2-year-old boy who had been trapped beneath the rubble for six days, marking the only reported rescue of a survivor on the sixth day of operations following last week’s devastating earthquakes.
Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez said in a Telegram post that Jordanian emergency workers pulled the child from a collapsed building in La Guaira, where the worst destruction from last week’s earthquakes occurred.
The child, identified by authorities as Klieber Moran, was rescued after spending six days trapped beneath the rubble, Rodríguez said.
Moran was taken to a hospital for treatment, she added.

National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez said in a televised address Tuesday that officials remain hopeful more survivors will be found.
«We must hold onto the hope of continuing to find people alive beneath the rubble,» Jorge said. «Early this morning, a 2-year-old boy was rescued and is currently receiving care at a health center in Caracas.»
Rescue efforts have continued since magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes struck Venezuela’s northern coast last Wednesday.

Tuesday’s rescue marked another glimmer of hope amid the disaster that has devastated the South American country.
On Saturday, the U.S. State Department shared video showing American search-and-rescue teams pulling an infant alive from beneath the rubble in Venezuela.

Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams from Virginia, California and Florida were dispatched to Venezuela on Friday to help search collapsed buildings.
