Two starkly different House candidates, in separate races, personify the intensifying ideological partitioning occurring within the once strongly Democratic constituency of Latino voters, whose numbers are growing. Their highly competitive races, along with a few other California congressional races, have pushed Latino voters to the front lines of the bitter fight for control of the House. “We have centered on Latino voters in our campaign,” said Whitesides, whose wife is of Cuban and Salvadoran heritage. In the same poll, 52% of Latino voters in District 27 said they support Whitesides, compared to 24% for Garcia and 24% completely undecided. In the last presidential election, Latino turnout was very high, and now it “actually is approaching the turnout rate for non-Latinos,” Vargas said.

Venice, Italy CNN —Until recently, the Venice Architecture Biennale — arguably the world’s largest architecture exhibition — has drawn crowds for its (mainly Western) star appeal. In a May 20 Facebook post titled “Venice Biennale Blues,” Zaha Hadid Architects’ principal, Patrik Schumacher, wrote that “the ‘Architecture’ Biennale is mislabeled and should stop laying claim to the title of architecture. The German pavilion, which is displaying construction waste produced by 2022’s Venice Art Biennale is a case in point.

Matt Upham, who has 522,000 followers on TikTok, 113,000 on Instagram, and 56,000 on YouTube, got his big break on social media after four years of trial and error. Upham, who's based in San Francisco, started out in 2016 with photography accounts on Instagram, then briefly tried personal-finance content before finding success during the pandemic with coding and tech content on TikTok. Now most of his content covers general tech news and tips, including advice on how to get tech and coding jobs. Although he got his start with photography, Upham now focuses primarily on short-form video — which he repurposes on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Upham's income has come mainly from partnerships with brands — a side of the business that has suffered amid the slowing economy.
