The Economist: Why Spain’s reasonably successful prime minister might lose his job
Spanish Prime Minister Alberto Núñez Feijóo is leading in the polls, but his opponent, Pedro Sánchez, has improved the economy, tackled corruption, and addressed the Catalonia issue. The recovery of Spain's economy is well-timed, with higher GDP growth than Germany and France. However, Sánchez's concessions to the separatists, such as pardoning nine leaders and reforming laws, have caused controversy. Feijóo, the leader of the People's Party, presents himself as more predictable and promises not to deal with extremist parties. He aims to reconcile regional nationalists and restore the crime of sedition.

The issue raises concerns about national loyalty and the potential for police corruption.

Foreign Policy: The First Job for NATO’s New Baltic Bloc
Sweden's path to NATO membership strengthens the Baltic Sea region's military alliance, making it a potential NATO lake. The region must address challenges in maritime infrastructure protection and energy security. As the Baltic states decrease their reliance on Russian energy, their investments in critical infrastructure increase. These investments create a dense network of vulnerable infrastructure that needs protection from threats, primarily from Russia. NATO and the EU are collaborating to develop a coordinated approach to secure critical maritime infrastructure, but coordination across different actors and sharing information remains a challenge. This effort in the Baltic Sea region can serve as a testbed for future threats to critical infrastructure, including from China. The success of the region's security approach will rely on the smaller Nordic and Baltic countries' military experience and innovation capacity. Failure to address these vulnerabilities in the region could jeopardize the alliance's success elsewhere.

The New American: 'Bidenomics' Is a Marketing Term - The New American
Democrats are using the term "Bidenomics" to market their policies, which are just more of the same big spending, regulations, and cronyism on a larger scale. The administration has increased spending by $5 trillion, putting most of it on credit rather than raising taxes. This will lead to record budget deficits and inflation, causing a decline in real wages and putting pressure on household budgets.
Forbes: What Does Meaningful Housing Deregulation Look Like?
Deregulation is needed to create better access to affordable housing for lower-income individuals. More housing lowers prices, but current regulations hinder production. Paring back rules and removing limits on housing at the state and local level can lead to increased supply and affordability. Reforming land use policy and reducing lot sizes can help in this process. Furthermore, requiring significant reform for state subsidies and prioritizing market production can address rising costs and demand for subsidies. The solution lies in more housing that is affordable, not just more affordable housing.
