Delighted to have written something for the FT Magazine. It's about Guatemala's chicken buses, and a lot else too: creativity, crime, corruption, inequality and hope. Colour and cautious hope on a ‘bling bling’ bus journey through Guatemala ft.com/content/ccacd0…

@Malinowski Hi @Malinowski I'm Rory Sullivan, a London-based journalist at Euronews. Would you be happy to talk about the cancellation of the RFE/RL's grant agreement for a feature I'm writing? If so, my email is rory.sullivan@ext.euronews.com

Full disclosure - after leaving Congress, I volunteered to serve on the Board of Directors of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, inspired by what it did years ago for my relatives behind the Iron Curtain. We have strong bipartisan support and I'm confident that will continue.

Last night, a credulous Senate passed a bill that purported to keep our government open. One thing the bill funded was the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. Today, Trump & Musk (surprise, surprise) told Congress to go to hell and our global broadcasters to go dark. 1/

@Doppelgeist60 Hi Karl, I saw your earlier message about not receiving your postal vote in time. I'm a journalist at Euronews who is writing a piece about the problems with this year's postal ballot system. Would you be happy to have a quick chat? My email is rory.sullivan@ext.euronews.com

EU-Handelskommissar Maros Sefcovic berichtet von „produktiven“ 4-stündigen Gesprächen in Washington angesichts des drohenden Handelskrieges. Betont europäische Bereitschaft, generell Zölle zu senken. Konflikt bleibt. Eines der Haupt-Streitthemen: Trump betrachtet MWSt als Zoll…

@zitandeni @DeutschePostDHL Hi @zitandeni I am a journalist at Euronews who is writing a story about the problems with the postal vote in this week's German election. Would you be happy to speak about your experience? If so, my email is rory.sullivan@ext.euronews.com

Absolut inakzeptabel. Mir geht es genauso, obwohl von meiner Seite alles gemacht wurde. Inkl. frühzeitiger Bestellung der Briefwahl, Express beim Rückversand. Nun liegen die Unterlagen seit 1 Woche in Deutschland in einem Logistikzentrum - wie kann das sein??@DeutschePostDHL @Wahlleitung_de

@MitAktien Hi @MitAktien I'm a journalist working for Euronews. My latest piece is on the problems with the German postal vote system. Would you be happy to speak to me about your experience? If so, my email is rory.sullivan@ext.euronews.com

Ich habe heute auch wieder nachgeschaut und hatte noch keine Wahlunterlagen! Das bedeutet, dass jetzt nur noch 2 Tage bleiben! Wenn ich Freitag noch Post bekomme, kann ich es zwar nicht mehr zurücksenden, weil die Zeit zu knapp wird. Aber kann dann meinen Flug nach Berlin antreten, der mich übrigens 250 € kostet, um direkt zu wählen. Ich hoffe und bete sogar schon, dass ich morgen oder Freitag meine Unterlagen erhalte!

@MilAvHistory Hi Christoph, I'm a journalist working for Euronews. As I'm writing a piece about the problems with the German postal vote system, it'd be great to have a chat. If you're happy to talk, feel free to email me on rory.sullivan@ext.euronews.com

- It is the 18th February 2025. - The German Election is on the 23rd February 2025. - I applied for postal vote in early January. - I have yet to receive my ballot. - Last election my ballot was stuck in German customs +2 weeks. - I don't even know what to say about this.

My latest piece for the FT is on the Camino de Costa Rica, a brilliantly beautiful 16-day coast-to-coast walk. Thanks to UrriTrek for having me along, and to Eliseo, Craig, Ian, Fiona and Renate for being such brilliant company. ft.com/content/77962a…

@JensLennartsson Hi Jens, I'd definitely be interested.

My newsletter agency is growing, and I'm looking to take on a copywriter/researcher. It will start off small: pay by the hour and small, irregular projects. It is extremely important that the person is a perfect fit. If you or someone else have a few hours per week free for more work - comment, and I'll DM you!

Guatemala’s democracy still hangs in the balance. Nearly 100 days into Arévalo’s presidency, the slow pace of progress is setting off alarm bells among some of his supporters. A great piece by veteran Guatemalan reporter @dfernandezg: americasquarterly.org/article/areval…

The SDF was formed to fight Isis and is now battling to maintain stability in its territory. But it is surrounded by enemies and if it buckles the area will implode into war ⬇️ #Echobox=1711140138" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.co.uk/article/syrian…

NEW @FTMag: my deep dive into Opus Dei, a powerful group in the Catholic Church. Girls across the world joined catering schools for an education. Instead, they were coerced into believing they had a calling from God to work as unpaid domestic servants. on.ft.com/3Po8Oza

Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández has been declared guilty on all three counts of his drugs and weapons trial in NYC.

Esto es grave. Abro 🧵sobre cómo publicaciones en redes fueron suficientes para que Giammattei le desembolsara Q461,600 mensuales al @MPguatemala para que persiguiera a personas en el exilio.

The last few days here have been tough. This morning I wrote this.

Ricardo Méndez Ruiz y el arte del terror judicial en Guatemala bit.ly/4brrzey

El tribunal electoral salvadoreño sabe que su credibilidad está en juego. No quiso detallar en público las causas del caos del domingo pero sí se los contó a los partidos en privado. Aquí está el audio y la nota. Para servirles, pueblo.🫡 elfaro.net/es/202402/el_s…

our investigation of @RMendezRuiz was almost as long a journey as his on his way to becoming the human equivalent to a judicial molotov cocktail in #Guatemala. Let the #netcenter barrage begin 😰 ... insightcrime.org/investigations…

Le pregunté a Bukele si compartía las palabras de su vicepresidente en las que decía que estaban “desmontando” la democracia para instaurar “algo nuevo”. Quise saber qué era ese “algo nuevo”. No le gustó y el asunto llegó hasta el balcón presidencial. elpais.com/videos/2024-02…
