Simon Harris becomes Ireland's youngest prime minister at 37
Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister
  • Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.

  • A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.

  • Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.

  • While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

Quick Glance: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit
  • A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.

  • California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.

  • The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.

  • The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.
