“The European Green Deal, launched in 2019, is an ecological pact that has been, unequivocally, an enemy of European taxpayers and innovation. Its declared goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 through a dense web of regulations that reach deep into every sector of the European economy. More than any other sector, the automotive industry is being put at risk of an irreversible crash. Pressuring companies and citizens alike, the pact promotes the renunciation of capitalism, an inevitable sacrifice in the name of green policies. Such binding commitments will have severe economic consequences for a European Union increasingly weakened by its own laws and regulations.” (11/05/25)

“It is my duty as a political writer to fire off a take in the wake of an election, so here goes: Were it not for his positions on Israel and Palestine, I don’t think Zohran Mamdani would be mayor. There was a world, and it existed a few years ago, where the opposite would’ve been the case. I know the conventional wisdom is that American voters care about foreign relations, and it’s especially not supposed to matter in local elections, but Mamdani was the only candidate who represented a clear ‘No’ to the genocide in Gaza. … Although I’m much closer to Mamdani than Cuomo on Palestine, I remain a little nervous about the introduction of a foreign ethnic conflict into our city.” (11/05/25)

“Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that the harassment she suffered from a drunk man in the street near Mexico’s seat of government was an assault on all women and that’s why she decided to press charges against him. Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada had announced overnight that the man had been arrested. In a video circulating widely on social platforms, the man appeared to lean in for a kiss and touch the president’s body with his hands on Tuesday. She gently pushed his hands away, maintaining a stiff smile as she turned to face him. She could be heard to say in part, ‘Don’t worry.’ On Wednesday, Sheinbaum was firm in emphasizing that this was not the first time she had suffered such harassment and that the problem went far beyond the president. ‘No man has the right to violate that space,’ she said.” (11/05/25)

“Finally, the city council of Castle Hills, Texas, is doing the right thing by Sylvia Gonzalez, accepting a settlement to resolve years of litigation against the city for violating her First Amendment rights. In 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in her favor, agreeing that courts may properly consider evidence that an arrest is retaliatory. According to Gonzalez’s lawsuit, in 2019 city leaders had lashed out against the councilwoman for her support of a nonbinding petition to remove a city manager. The city’s weapon? A rarely used law that it wielded against her for ‘briefly and inadvertently having the petition among her papers’ during a heated council meeting; she allegedly tried to ‘steal’ her own petition.” (11/05/25)

“The Nov. 4 off-year elections were a smashing Democratic victory. This is the first and most important lesson Republicans should take from the results. In elections in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, there was a huge wave in favor of the Democrats. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s referendum victory in California will certainly shape the 2026 midterms. Yet, there were some local Republican victories, such as the one for Nassau County executive in New York, which provided the GOP hints of a better future – if Republicans are willing to study and learn from them. President Donald J. Trump suggested that his name not being on the ballot was a major factor in the outcome. This may be true, but it does not solve anything for Republicans. His name is not going to be on the ballot in 2026 or 2028 either.” (11/05/25)

“Multiple contestants from the Miss Universe 2025 pageant walked out of an event in solidarity after an official of host nation Thailand publicly ‘humiliated’ Miss Mexico. The incident took place during a pre-pageant event on 3 November when Thai pageant director Nawat Itsaragrisil called Fátima Bosch of Mexico ‘dumb’ for failing to post promotional content and ordered security to remove her. … Along with Bosch, other contestants including reigning title-holder Victoria Kjær Theilvig of Denmark, stood and walked out in protest. As the women begin to leave, Itsaragrisil can be heard telling them: ‘If anyone wants to continue, sit down.'” (11/05/25)

“On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) has not sworn in Grijalva. Johnson’s obstruction has prevented Grijalva from providing the decisive signature on a discharge petition that would force a House vote on the public release of the Epstein files. The failure to swear in Grijalva is unprecedented. A Popular Information analysis of the 59 other House special elections since 2015 reveals that the average time between winning an election and being sworn in is less than 11 days. Since Johnson became Speaker in October 2023, special election winners have been sworn in, on average, about seven days after the election. The current 43-day delay is already eight days longer than the previous record.” (11/05/25)
