I am suspending my campaign for Governor.

To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.

I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

Eric Swalwell on the phone with his campaign manager 🤣

OK, WHO DID THIS???🤮🤣🤣🤣 swalwell he has issues.

At the Liberal convention in Montreal, they were discussing a $500,000 exit tax.

A failing regime doesn't look at people fleeing and ask, “How do we make life better?”

It asks, “How do we stop them from leaving?”

FULL CENTCOM STATEMENT ON NAVEL BLOCKADE:

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President’s proclamation.

The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

Additional information will be provided to commercial mariners through a formal notice prior to the start of the blockade. All mariners are advised to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16 when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches.

A Madrid judge, Juan Carlos Peinado, has formally charged Begoña Gómez (wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez) with influence peddling, bribery (also described as corruption in the private sector/business corruption), embezzlement of public funds, and misappropriation. The judge has closed the investigation and referred the case to trial before a popular jury.

Quick context on the case:

The probe began in April 2024 after a complaint from the union Manos Limpias (often described as right-leaning or far-right adjacent). It initially focused on alleged influence peddling and business corruption tied to Gómez’s role directing a master’s program at Complutense University in Madrid, sponsorship deals, and connections to companies that benefited from government contracts or COVID-era rescue funds.

It later expanded to include embezzlement (allegedly using a public advisor from the Prime Minister’s office for personal work) and other charges. Gómez has testified multiple times, always denying any wrongdoing.

The case has been highly politicized. Sánchez and his Socialist (PSOE) government have repeatedly called it “lawfare” — a politically motivated attack orchestrated by the right-wing opposition. The defense can still appeal the indictment to a higher court.

This comes amid other scandals affecting Sánchez’s fragile coalition government, but the prime minister has defended his wife and dismissed the accusations as part of a smear campaign. Spanish media (El País, El Mundo, El Correo) and international outlets like Bloomberg are all reporting the development in real time.

The story is moving fast — expect more details as the trial process begins.
