Nicolás Maduro Moros, born on November 23, 1962, in a working-class neighborhood of Caracas, rose from a bus driver and trade union leader to become one of the most polarizing figures in modern Latin American politics. A devoted follower of Hugo Chávez, Maduro served as foreign minister and vice president before succeeding his mentor as president of Venezuela in 2013.

Minimalism began as a refusal. It was a rejection of excess, noise, and overconsumption. It offered clarity where there was clutter and intention where there was chaos.

She’s not running, she’s reflecting and maybe reminding us that politics was never supposed to be this absurd. Harris is back, and she’s tired of pretending otherwise. At a Los Angeles book event, she leaned into the mic and dropped what might be the most relatable line of her career: “These mothaf–kas are crazy.” The crowd roared. Twitter exploded. For a moment, America agreed on something: Kamala said what everyone was already thinking. The moment was funny, but it was als
