Hoy os quiero hablar sobre una de las estructuras más importantes que conservamos de la antigua Roma: la Curia iulia, el lugar de reunión del Senado romano durante todo el Imperio.
Hoy en el año 29 a. C. fue inaugurada, así que vamos a conmemorarlo con un #HiloRomano

This is bad news for any chance of getting back to a democracy.
Sub-national control of elections was the last major institutional bulwark against the Republicans from formulating a full authoritarian regime.

BREAKING: Gov. Mike Braun confirms Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indiana Thursday to discuss possibly redistricting in the state.
We will have a story up soon on the issue, including the possible legal constraints of such a move.

Former Spanish minister of economy, got a few millions € under the table to legislate in favour of incumbent energy companies. Subsidies to renewables were suspended. The cost was 1.5 BILLION € in international arbitration courts & a lost decade in renewables. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

We ran some initial estimates on what today’s EU budget proposal could mean.
The numbers aren’t official yet, so details might still change - but the overall picture looks a lot more positive than I expected.

1/ The EU Commission proposes a budget 2028-2034 that is around €580bn higher than its precursor. The increase is a bit less enormous considering that NGEU repayments will already consume €168bn. However, there is still quite some additional spending in there, mainly going to the new Pillar II:

This is good news. We've been banging the drum for a meaningful Competitiveness Fund to back joint investment and industrial policy. If the €400+ billion holds up, the EU will finally have something to work with.
Likewise, a near-doubling of Horizon would be very welcome for EU innovation policy.

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

What a depressing headline. No major turnaround plan, no amazing new product features or major business results. Just layoffs and the stock 🚀 🚀 🚀

Btw, this would also be a good place to think seriously about how harmonize eligibility criteria for fiscal support across the EU - including some form of Buy European preference.
Done right, this would create a massive demand pull across the Single Market - without the need for picking any winners

The German government just put forward a 75% tax write-off for corporate EV purchases.
Not a bad bit of industrial policy - company cars make up 60% of new registrations in the EU and are still trailing private households on electrification.

💡 BLACKOUT MEGA-THREAD: Last week I was working at the Bloomberg office in Madrid when the humming of the ventilation system suddenly went quiet. That felt quite nice. But when we looked out the windows, we realized traffic lights were off. That's when we knew something serious was going on
