Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Merz knows what he's doing by symbolically (for now) cracking down on NGOs. He's signalling once more his willingness to govern with AfD support, driving up the price the SPD has to pay for a coalition agreement. And he's taking a page out of Orban's authoritarian playbook, namely the one that […]

If this is about article five, most constitutions should probably have such a loophole, unless the amendment procedure is or certain provision are exempt from amendments (such as in the German constitution's Ewigkeitsklausel). #lastBoost
