Everything hinges on whether FDP & BSW stay under 5%. If so, GroKo is in play without also needing Greens, which you have to think is least worst scenario at this point

Okay. This will be a long night. As a lot hangs on whether the FDP and/or BsW can get over the 5% hurdle. Talk to you later.

Here is what to watch out for in the 6pm exit polls: 1) does the CDU cross 30% & how large is the gap to the AfD? 2) is there a majority of seats for a CDU-SPD coalition? This is the easiest (but by no means easy) coalition to negotiate. 3) are FDP and BSW in or out? 4) how well does die Linke do?

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help

A Reddit post discussing perhaps the greatest overreach of power from an executive order of all time. Trump and the Attorney General now determine how the law is interpreted, Federal agencies no longer have autonomy, and every agency will have a White House liaison to enforce presidential control.

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

Italian politicians want action against a hunting party that included the president's son, who they accuse of allegedly killing a ruddy shelduck. One Italian paper called it the "Donald duck crisis."
