REUTERS/Wolfgang Rattay/File Photo FRANKFURT/ROME, July 27 (Reuters) – The European Central Bank looks almost certain to face a test of its willingness to rein in excessive bond yields in the coming weeks as the world’s biggest debtor euro zone, Italy, is going to lead the elections that a right-wing bloc with a eurosceptic past is expected to win.

Beaver Politics in Oregon

On By C86 Team

With climate change reshaping the American West, an industrious mammal could help alleviate some of the worst drought and flood crises to come. The West becomes drier in the dry season and more prone to flooding in the rainy season. Beavers may well be a relatively inexpensive part of resilience efforts. As engineers of natural ecosystems, these largest rodents in North America “increase water storage in ponds and surrounding floodplains, thereby slowing winter flows, increasing water availability from rivers and grasslands and extending stream flow for up to six weeks during dry summer seasons”. But in Oregon, the state ofRead News

The January 6 hearing brought politics into the era of TikTok

Democrats are facing a tough summer. The weather, disease, is a president people no longer want to see on the ballot. So you can see why they like a TV show that offers a glimmer of political hope: The 6th of January is the trial, which holds Donald Trump accountable for the riots of the Capitol in 2021, and at the same time made a vague argument that. The Democrats can succeed at something – in this case, breaking the American psyche. The eight hearings, which took place last week before recessing until September, are a real break from theRead News

My take: The strange story of election year politics and the state auditor

On By C86 Team

It is clear that we are seeing a crude policy at work after a guilty verdict of a statewide official. On Thursday, Senate Republicans called for “due process” after a decision by Senate Democrats to begin the hearings that could lead to the removal of Delaware State Auditor of Accounts Kathy McGuiness. The state constitution gives the governor the power to remove a statewide public official after a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate. That provision was never used. In two centuries. The clause in the Constitution provides no guidance on “due process” or when proceedings may begin. RepublicanRead News

We ignore the moods in politics at our peril

Jonathan Freedland offers the insightful view that Brexit is more a feeling than a real definition (Brexit is a mood, not a policy – and Liz Truss holds all her illusions, 22 July). If so, how can democrats debate and represent sentiment? What is the mood-equivalent of political expression? Do we expect democratic citizens to vote by heart or soul? Should the politics of sentiment always be the province of demagogues and imbeciles? The political language of rational choice politics says little about emotion, often dismissing it as emotional confusion that distracts from interest-based preferences. Therefore, we are often shockedRead News
