Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's decree, approved January 27, offers one-year residence permits to migrants who entered before December 31, 2025, stayed five months, and lack criminal records; the application window runs April to June. The National Police's CNIF report from January 29 estimates 750,000 to 1 million will qualify, plus 250,000 to 350,000 asylum seekers, and predicts a 'pull effect' boosting arrivals from Africa, Latin America, and other Schengen countries. Officials defend the plan as essential for integrating contributors to Spain's economy amid labor shortages, while critics highlight strains on jobs, integration, and public services.

At the Washington Press Club Foundation's 80th Annual Congressional Dinner on February 4, 2026, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tied threats to democracy to attacks on the free press, spotlighting over 300 layoffs at The Washington Post that day amid industry cutbacks. She led the crowd in chanting the paper's slogan 'Democracy dies in darkness' twice, arguing that weakened newsrooms endanger the republic. Pelosi also cited journalist Don Lemon's January 29 arrest while covering a protest and new Pentagon rules limiting reporter access, framing these as First Amendment chills amid a divided 119th Congress and conservative Supreme Court rulings.

Key Takeaway

Nancy Pelosi stood before journalists and lawmakers, her voice steady as she declared America faces a crisis of conscience—with a president acting like a king, a Congress that's faded away, and a Supreme Court gone rogue.
