Olivia Troye, a first-term Trump White House official who broke with him: “We… need to remind ourselves that we have the power. The only reason that they have the power and are continuing to do what they do is that people are going silent.”

The Director of National Intelligence helps counter foreign threats. Tulsi Gabbard has defended Assad after he gassed civilians, pushed Kremlin propaganda on Ukraine, and smeared our allies. She’s a national security risk and cannot be trusted to lead US intelligence.

Trump pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for running an online platform where drug dealers conducted more than $200 million in illegal drug sales. He doesn't care about Fentanyl.

🇫🇮🇺🇦 According to Finnish President, Ukraine should be offered "de facto NATO membership." This would mean that if Russia violates the peace agreement, Ukraine would automatically become a member of the Alliance.

Guter Mann. »Neil Young will seine Europa-Tour mit einem Gratis-Konzert in der #Ukraine starten. Für den 79-Jährigen wäre es der erste Auftritt dort.«

Donald Trump hat es mit Wolodymyr Selenskyj so gemacht wie J. D. Vance mit der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz: Statt vor den Kulissen diplomatisch aufzutreten und hinter den Kulissen Tacheles zu reden, tun sie das Gegenteil. Sie machen Partner öffentlich zur Schnecke. Damit wird Diplomatie unmöglich.

It seems this was never really about the fantasy deal on rare earths, it was about creating a pretext to get rid of Ukraine and Selensky. It started weeks ago with the subversive calls for elections.

„Sachsen kann kaum ordentlich regiert werden. Die Minderheitskoalition aus CDU und SPD ist auf Stimmen aus der Opposition angewiesen, wobei es Stimmen der AfD nicht sein sollen. Bislang konnte dieses Bündnis noch nicht einmal einen Haushalt für 2025 aufstellen...

Kleiner Funfact: Weil die CDU in ihrer kleinen Anfrage auch @gabrielakeller.bsky.social und meine Recherche zu den "Rechtstreibern in der CDU" erwähnte, hat sich das Publikum für diesen Artikel noch mal vergrößert. Prognose: Wir überschreiten bald die 500 000 Zugriffe correctiv.org/aktuelles/pa...

Die abwegige Idee, dass eine Entschuldigung von Selenskyj bei Trump angebracht sein könnte - die Eskalation im Oval Office ging von Vance aus - stammt von Fox News. Der Sender stellte Selenskyj im Interview diese Frage. So framt man eine Debatte - und deutsche Medien machen mit!

Europa hat jahrzehntelang von der Friedensdividende profitiert, ohne selbst ausreichend in Verteidigung zu investieren. Die selbe Logik ist natürlich anzuwenden auf Länder, die sich nicht am Klimaschutz beteiligen.

In June 2024, Attorney General Bailey accused International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) of violating the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA): “Like Starbucks, IBM enforced hiring quotas based on race, amongst other acts of discrimination. The IBM litigation continues to play out in court.”

I’ve been told some academic centers are telling their faculty not to speak up. In case anyone was wondering, injustice has never been overcome through silence. You can choose to speak up, or you can be complicit in the oppression. Everyone has a choice. May we all choose wisely.

“The USDA’s purge has hurt farmers and advisers who rely on data provided by the agency to access financial support for conservation practices, said the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Environmental Working Group in a lawsuit.”

Atlanticists such as Merz – who favour “more China hawkishness and [are in tune with the idea of] systems competition” – will be faced with the “Germany First” faction that says that “…it is in the interest of these companies for us to keep good relations with China”, @jeremycliffe.bsky.social said

Die AfD wird fast 150 Sitze haben, ein Heer an Mitarbeitenden, die sich aus der extremen Rechten rekrutieren, mit Kontakt zu Terrorgruppen. Auch ohne Musk bedeutet das einen massiven Ausbau der zivilgesellschaftlichen Schützengräben mit Geld und Ressourcen. Dem gilt es etwas entgegenzusetzen.

Der DDay ist zum Stalingrad der FDP geworden.

Trump greift die europäischen Regeln für Plattformen an.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Federal employees are now being told they will be fired if they do not reply to a guy who does not respond to the Moms of his kids.

Europe not on the table, but on the menu

Es ist diese Denkweise, mit der sich Merz dann doch von der AfD zum Kanzler wird wählen lassen:

Warum sollte jetzt noch irgendein Staat Milliarden für Stealth Jets ausgeben, deren Elektronik mit einem Knopfdruck aus der Ferne deaktiviert werden kann?

thinking about the time trump showed up to debate Joe Biden in 2020 while Trump knew he had tested positive for Covid and tried to get him infected. Weird that everyone just kinda moved past that!

This database would give Musk detailed technical specifications of every system, detailed pricing and delivery schedules, and information on any confidential government investigations into every other U.S. defense firms. Conflict of interest does not get bigger than this.
