Kosovo in political stalemate as parliament fails to elect speaker

Kosovo's parliament failed to elect a new speaker for the fourth time on Friday, prolonging a legislative crisis that has prevented efforts to form a new government more than two months after an inconclusive election. Under Kosovo's constitution, a parliamentary speaker must be voted in before the election winner can form a government, but without cross-party support that is proving difficult, and the stalemate has exposed deep divisions in Europe's newest state. In the February 9 parliamentary election, following an acrimonious campaign in which outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti called the opposition "animals" and "thieves", his Vetevendosje party came first but did not secure an outright majority.

Top Democrats hold sit-in on Capitol steps as they seek new ways to push back on Trump's agenda | CNN Politics

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Cory Booker are holding a sit-in on the steps of the US Capitol — the latest move by Democrats to stand up to President Donald Trump as they face pressure from constituents.

On April 27, 2025, Senators Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries led a group of Democrats in a sit-in at the U.S. Capitol to protest against what they described as Republican obstructionism and inaction on critical issues such as voting rights, gun control, and climate change. The sit-in, which lasted for several hours, was intended to draw attention to the Democrats' frustration with the lack of progress on these key legislative priorities. During the event, the lawmakers took turns speaking about the urgency of addressing these issues and called on their Republican colleagues to engage in bipartisan negotiations to find solutions. The protest was seen as a bold move by the Democrats to highlight their concerns and push for action in a Congress that has been marked by deep partisan divisions.
