"But there is something in the story of the accidentally leaked war secrets group chat that speaks to the essence of the second Trump administration... It shows us ... what they act like when they think they are in private. It’s not a pretty sight." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Amazing that @danamilbank.bsky.social‬ can still publish such an article in the WaPo. Apparently the Bezofication is not complete yet!? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"...die Grundthese der Demokraten ist, dass die Trump-Leute mit Musk ... sich selbst gegen die Wand fahren. Sie scheinen davon auszugehen, dass die wirklichen "Checks und Balances" weniger in den Gerichten liegen, schon gar nicht im Kongress ... sondern in den Märkten." www.n-tv.de/politik/Dies...

"We have a President who has made very clear that he believes he has the prerogative to pick and choose what laws passed by Congress he has to follow. And so ... that’s the first and most fundamental challenge to our constitutional order here. All of these cases are about laws Congress has passed."

Klare Mehrheit im Bundesrat. Mit 53 Ja-Stimmen (46 waren nötig) stimmt die Länderkammer der Reform der Schuldenbremse zu.

“The New Left treated the administrative state as a combat zone…it managed to move the distributional battle front inside the state. It is this incursion that legal counterrevolutionaries have been fighting ever since” www.dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...

Ihr Verbaldurchfall ergießt sich in die Digitalsenkgrube X: Donald Trump und Elon Musk sind mächtige, aber keine großen Männer. Wie sie auf andere herabschauen, das lässt tief blicken. www.faz.net/aktuell/gese...

"So maybe it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk has lately taken time from his busy schedule of dismantling the federal government, along with many of its sources of reliable information, to attack Wikipedia." www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Trump: "When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done by a ruler ... you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the US, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that. And then if you add Greenland, that's pretty good."

The plight of white South Africans is literally the only global humanitarian issue that moves Musk to repeatedly voice his outrage.

I hope my friends in Poland have no illusions about this administration. No matter how much you praise them or speak kindly, they will still attack you the moment you have even the slightest disagreement.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency implemented the presidentially-directed name change from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in the U.S. Geographic Names Server, the official federal repository for foreign geographic names.

"Even those who expected the worst from his reelection ... expected more rationality. Today, it is clear that what has happened since January 20 is not just a change of administration but a change of regime...But a change to what?" www.persuasion.community/p/sins-of-th...

"What happens when power and responsibility become unmoored from each other? The political events of recent months have provided new clarity to this old question." www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Zadie Smith: "this “satirical” video... is one of the most comprehensive depictions of what I want to call the American Imaginary... Within (this), there is and always has been a subcategory of people ... who are not only born to suffer but are habituated to it." www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

For Dugin, the greatest enemy of Russia is liberalism... the “false premise that a human is a separate, autonomous individual—a selfish animal seeking its own benefit.”... “such a liberal person ... does not exist; and if they do exist, they ought not to.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...
