    Will the farm crisis deliver the midterms to Democrats? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is a bad year for U.S. farmers. President Donald Trump’s trade wars were already taking a toll, but the Iran war compounded problems by raising fuel and fertilizer costs. Rural regions reliably vote Republican, but Democrats hope for a midterm backlash. The farm crisis that “threatens to wreck the agricultural heart” of Iowa also threatens to “hurt the fortunes” of Hawkeye State GOP candidates, said Axios. Trump’s policies have “caused such severe financial problems” for corn growers that a s

    Will the public get to see the new Elon Musk documentary? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Who wants to see the new, nearly four-hour documentary about Elon Musk? Not Musk. The former trillionaire is threatening a defamation lawsuit over explosive claims in Alex Gibney’s film “Musk.” Social media companies are hesitant to allow promotion on their platforms, and Hollywood is whispering that the tech mogul’s power might keep the public from opportunities to see the film. “So much for free speech,” said The Hollywood Reporter. Social media platforms YouTube, TikTok and Meta’s Instagram a

    Are the midterms dictating Trump’s Iran strategy? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The midterm elections are looming as a milestone in the Iran war. President Donald Trump declined a ceasefire proposal from Tehran last week, reportedly because he expects to restart U.S. attacks after the vote. And Iran’s leaders may be betting that election pressure can force the White House to make concessions. The president expects to start a new round of bombing “after the November midterms,” said The Wall Street Journal. Trump on Friday rejected a proposed ceasefire that would reopen the S

    Can Montana ban ‘dark money’ in elections? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Political campaigns are awash in cash, thanks in part to U.S. Supreme Court decisions declaring that campaign contributions are a form of free speech. Montana voters are poised to push back with a proposed ban on corporate political spending. The November ballot measure is an attempt at “threading the needle” of the Supreme Court’s precedents, said The New York Times. Corporations that violate the proposed ban would have their state corporate registration revoked. States, backers argue, have the

    How will 7% mortgage rates change home ownership? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For most of this century, homebuyers could depend on relatively low mortgage rates at no more than 5%. But that’s no longer true. The average 30-year mortgage rate hit 7% this week, and high rates may be here to stay, which could profoundly impact an already dysfunctional U.S. housing market. The 7% rate has no significance “beyond the psychological effect of the round number,” said NPR. But it reflects a “sharp rise” in rates in recent months that is “squeezing the budgets of homebuyers” and se
