German parliament votes to get rid of fast-track citizenship DW 10/08/2025

The Bundestag voted on Wednesday to get rid of a fast-track citizenship law put in place under the previous government led by center-left Social Democrat (SPD) Olaf Scholz. The vote passed with ease, because the proposal is one of very few from the coalition government to meet the approval of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), the largest opposition party. In total, 450 members of the lower house of parliament voted in favor, 134 opposed, and two abstained.

Will the public-lands coalition hold? - High Country News

In June, a long-standing effort to sell off massive chunks of federal land grew closer to fruition than ever before when a provision mandating such sales was slipped into President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill." The bill passed, and selling public lands easily could have followed. But it didn't, largely due to a fierce public outcry led not just by pro-public land progressives but by a surprisingly broad coalition that included horseback riders, ATVers, backpackers, birdwatchers, hunters, anglers and tribal nations
