Wieder Luftalarm. Wieder Explosionen. So agiert kein Staat, der Frieden will. So agiert ein Staat, der mit Gewalt seine Ziele erreichen will. Wenn es der Weltgemeinschaft nicht gelingt, diesen Staat in die Schranken zu weisen, wird sich diese Gewalt immer weiter ausdehnen.

Amazing information on Social Security & its safeguards & self-audits. REAL INFORMATION, not made-up fake news. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

That disgusting PoS.

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Morgen haben wir die Chance, unser Land besser aufzustellen. Jetzt braucht es den Willen dafür, für diese Verbesserungen auch Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Ich verspreche: Dafür will und werde ich mit aller Kraft arbeiten. Dafür bitte ich Euch um Eure Stimme für die Grünen. youtu.be/8Ih9G26tQqs

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Dank der USPS ist mein Wahlzettel für die Bundestagswahl erst heute gekommen 😡🤬😡. Natürlich habe ich ihn trotzdem ausgefüllt und abgeschickt, irgendwas mußte ich ja tun. Das Unterwandern der Post in USA hat genau diesen Grund, die Briefwahlstimmen zu verhindern.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This is simply amazing. I read it four times & damnit someone should read this over the airwaves.

Donald Trump’s Putinization of America My new column: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Hmmmm, is this the famous American freedom of speach Vance was telling Germany about?

Wer's in Europa immer noch nicht kappiert hat, der wird wahrscheinlich as Moskau bezahlt.

Fallt bloß nicht auf das Gewäsch von Millionär + Unternehmer-Interessensvertreter Merz rein, wir sollten uns mal anstrengen. Ärmel hochkrempen. Dieser Unfug halt. Junge Menschen arbeiten so viel wie seit den 1990er-Jahren nicht mehr. www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/a...

Sending 20% of the roughly $8.6 billion of DOGE savings the group has so far listed on its website would amount to about $11 per taxpayer. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-e...

Where on earth did these buffoons get the notion that Trump's policies were ever a growth agenda? Don't they have economists to advise them in the newsroom? www.reuters.com/markets/us/s...

@rtwsz.bsky.social hat die SZ einen BlueSky Account? Und wenn nicht, warum nicht?

Oh, so DEI is ok now? How wonderful.

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

Duh.

While this is an unusually insightful column by Bret Stephen's, he reassuringly made sure to be the vapid asshat we know him to be by failing to make the argument that Vance and his boss are the ones steering us into our own illiterate authoritarian government.

The U.S. State Department seeks input from U.S. citizens on U.S. foreign aid. Responses are due today (Feb. 18) by 5pm eastern. Please consider sharing your input today: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Monuments to Trump and holidays in his honor? Sounds a lot like Fascism to me, although Hitler didn't have his likeness erected, just monumental structures, but April 20th was a holiday in the Third Reich.

Vance meets the leader of Germany's far-right AfD and attacks European firewalls against populism. So the German neo-Nazis and Trump's government have the same goal: to strengthen anti-EU populism in Europe to erode our continent. There is only one answer to that: vote progressive and #noAfD!
