Robert Kennedy Jr. already has a job with Trump, as announced by the Republican candidate
The Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency, Donald Trump, announced in Arizona that former independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. will be in charge of a working team that will create, if he wins the November elections, to investigate what is causing the increase in chronic health problems for decades in the country and childhood diseases.
He will also create a commission, in honor of ´Bobby´, as he called the lawyer and environmentalist of whom he said he is “proud”, to investigate and publish the remaining documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, uncle of the now former White House candidate.
The presence of Kennedy Jr. in Trump’s act occurs only hours after he announced that he abandoned his career for the White House and made the leap to support the Republican and said that he made the decision after the real estate tycoon promised him that if he reaches the presidency he would let him fight to end the chronic diseases.
“Tonight I am very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible advocate of many of the values that we all share, and we have shared them for a long time,” Trump said a few minutes after entering the stage of the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, full of followers.
“I don’t think many of you have heard of him, he is very discreet, but very respected. He is a great person, I have known him for a long time,” Trump also said, who in front of the delirious applause of the crowd assured that “it is what he (Kennedy) deserves.”
Trump also assured the crowd that Kennedy carried out an “extraordinary” campaign and that he had defeated President Joe Biden, who initially sought re-election before handing over the baton to vice president Kamala Harris, that if the Democrats had allowed him to participate in primaries, he would have defeated Biden.
In his turn on the podium, Kennedy, who recognized his ideological differences with the candidate he now supports, said that his values overlap in “having safe food and ending the epidemic of chronic diseases.”
“Don’t you want food without chemicals? Don’t you want a president to get us out of wars and rebuild the middle class?” said Kenendy Jr., son of the prosecutor killed in the 1960s, Robert Francis Kennedy.
At the time of leaving the presidential race, Kennedy Jr. had a voting intention of 4.7%, according to the average of polls prepared by Five Thirty Eight, which this Friday reflects a support of 47% to Harris and 43.7% to Trump.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
