Puerto Rico in the national spotlight: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling Airbnb a driver of evictions, saying short-term rentals “supercharge” displacement “from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole,” as housing affordability stays front and center. Public health watch: A CDC report shows dengue cases in the U.S. surged 359% in 2024 vs. earlier averages, with most cases tied to travel from the Caribbean—explicitly including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Culture & community: The Aesthetic Society named Dr. Jamil Ahmad president at The Aesthetic MEET 2026 in Boston, while Puerto Rico’s creative energy keeps showing up in broader arts coverage. Sports controversy: USA TODAY links Dodgers pitcher Edwin Díaz to alleged cockfighting promotions in Puerto Rico, renewing calls for investigations. Environment/legal pressure: The Center for Food Safety sued the EPA over records tied to pesticide-coated seeds and disposal practices, pushing back on a long-running regulatory loophole.
