Time in Mexico can be pretty flexible in terms of punctuality, but there are some things that even Mexicans aren't late for, writes Sarah DeVries.

The U.S. vice president also called the heckler an "idiot" and invited him to "get your ass over there [to Mexico]," earning praise for a deft mic-drop comeback, though at least one major network journailst wondered if it was a little too deft for an unplanned incident.

Mexico and the U.S. have very different histories and culture, so expressions of national pride are different, too. But that doesn't mean Mexico isn't just as patriotic, writes Andrea Fischer.

The daily homicide average in August was the lowest of any month since Sheinbaum took office 23 months ago.

This week in Mexico, the peso hit a 28-month high, opposition senators challenged government homicide numbers, and a cheese-naming dispute threatens to complicate U.S. trade talks.

President Sheinbaum reported on the ongoing Mexico-U.S. tariff talks, recapped her meeting with Colombian ex-President Petro and addressed a recent high-profile murder at her Thursday presser.

Sheinbaum largely avoided criticizing the U.S. government during her second annual report on Tuesday, but less than 24 hours later, she reiterated her view that the Trump administration is meddling in Mexican affairs.

On Wednesday, the president highlighted record foreign direct investment in the first half of 2026 (US $34.96 billion), record employment of 60 million people, 1.4% quarterly GDP growth and a "strong, solid" peso, while blaming past governments for suppressing wages.

Like Don Quixote, the inspiration for "Don Barry: A Quixotic Exploration," filmmaker Paul Smart is an idealist. He made the movie, now streaming on Prime Video, in Guanajuato, despite knowing little Spanish, writes Louisa Rogers.

Mexican nicknames run the gamut from simple and affectionate to fantastically creative and hilariously cruel. Sarah DeVries explains why protestations are futile if you don't like your own moniker.
