JD Vance's coldly measured post, issued seven hours after Elon Musk said yep to Trump's impeachment. But why? @WSJopinion breaks it down: https://t.co/GX08FG9rM8

Stamp collectors are philatelists. Those who save coins numismatists. License plate collecting is so arcane that there isn’t a word for it. But some people so covet tags that they travel the globe to score a rare find, Rob Walzer of @WSJ finds. https://t.co/8razjVmel7

"I ask you with all my heart, please don't stop praying. Miguel needs a miracle," María Claudia Tarazona, wife of Sen. Miguel Uribe, writes on her Instagram page. Two days ago, a teenage gunman fired a shot into Uribe's head during a political event in the Colombian capital. https://t.co/cXN8UeHsDM

The shooting brought back memories of the violence perpetrated by cocaine cartels and other armed groups when four presidential candidates were slain along with hundreds of other politicians. In 1991, Sen. Uribe’s own mother was among the dead in that era. https://t.co/wGhgzBh62S

BOGOTÁ Colombia—Sen. Miguel Uribe, a presidential hopeful and grandson of a former president, was fighting for his life Sunday after a teenage gunman shot him in the head, reviving fears of the political violence that scarred Colombia in the 1980s and ’90s https://t.co/ppGwuqFZHq

On the surface, gold means means prosperity. In reality, the gold trade in Colombia is mired in violence, environmental devastation and corruption. @WSJ reports from the gold fields as miners are drawn by the ever higher price of gold. https://t.co/lAf7yutkoh

President Petro can’t stop talking about Middle Easterners in Latin America (and Spain denying its Arabic past) as Colombians await words of empathy after a teenage gunmen fired a shot into Sen. Miguel Uribe’s head at a political event Saturday.

En el cierre de su alocución, el Presidente dijo que todos somos hermanos de los árabes, bailamos juntos, nos entendemos y nos queremos. Gabriel García Márquez inspira a los pensadores árabes, se lo dijo un sabio palestino en Catar. https://t.co/2GmsLKLyBB

From Sen Miguel Uribe's wife I am Maria Claudia Tarazona, Miguel's wife. Miguel is currently fighting for his life. Let us ask God to guide the hands of the doctors who are treating him. I ask everyone to join us in a chain of prayer for Miguel's life. I place my faith in God

Miguel Uribe @MiguelUribeT

Secretario de Estado Rubio: "El presidente Petro debe moderar la retórica incendiaria y proteger a los funcionarios colombianos"

Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the attempted assassination of Senator Miguel Uribe. This is a direct threat to democracy and the result of the violent leftist rhetoric coming from the highest levels of the Colombian government. Having seen firsthand

President Petro's response to the shooting of Sen. Miguel Uribe, which he seems to tie to Islamaphobia. I think? Who knows, but he notes that Uribe is "the son of an Arab." Colombia saw a robust Lebanese immigration and Uribe has roots in that community.

Gustavo Petro @petrogustavo

"Ay" Colombia y su violencia eterna. Quieren matar al hijo de una árabe en Bogotá,que ya habían asesinado, y no se debe matar en el corazón del mundo. Matan al hijo y a la madre. Respeten la vida, esa es la linea roja. Colombia no debe matar a sus hijos, porque ellos tambien son

The gunman who shot Sen. Miguel Uribe in Colombia is an underage sicario, authorities and Colombian media say. He ran from the scene (see below), was shot in the process and captured. Now in the hospital, he's unlikely to know anything about who wanted Uribe dead.

VIDEO Este es el sicario que disparó contra Miguel Uribe. Está huyendo de las autoridades con una herida en la pierna, mientras es perseguido por las autoridades y posteriormente capturado. En este momento es traslado Miguel Uribe a la Fundación Santafe https://t.co/nMteFjwbIM

Colombian Sen. Miguel Uribe was shot in the head today in an assassination attempt. In 1991, his mother, the journalist Diana Turbay, was killed in a botched rescue after a kidnapping orchestrated by Pablo Escobar. So much of the violence here has roots in the cocaine trade. https://t.co/5uOLsADczO
