O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

Another quote that had it come from any other president would have been a weeks-long scandal. Instead, it's just Wednesday.
Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Die Frageformulierung ist so natürlich schon komplett bodenlos. Aber es dann so verkürzt darzustellen ist schlicht Irreführung. Vollkommen inakzeptabel.
Überraschend, dass das ZDF-Politbarometer diese Umfrage so verzerrt darstellt: Statt nach der Originalaussage von Merz zu fragen, die tagelang diskutiert wurde, wird in der Umfrage seine späte Rechtfertigung ergänzt. In der Grafik wird das aber gar nicht erwähnt. So geht Framing.

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

You simply cannot be a political journalist today if you don't know the deep ins-and-outs of the nonsense conspiracy theories. Because people will just constantly say stuff that is blatantly false and you NEED to be ready to call it out with receipts.
Lankford: "I think now history has proven that Russiagate was a hoax. It was actually formed by James Coney and Brennan and others that were behind the scenes to push a narrative they knew at the time was false." (This is a lie -- would've been nice for Kasie Hunt to point that out.)

I don't think many people, inside and outside of US, understand how absolutely 🦇💩🤪 the official communication of the White House is.

And while it is, undoubtedly, largely performative, the fact that it is considered effective and leads to little effective backlash says everything about this country

Tatsächlich besteht das Problem nicht mit dem Stadtbild, sondern mit dem Menschenbild.

„Wir haben natürlich im Stadtbild immer noch das Problem“ bringt das Problem dieses Diskurses ganz gut auf den Punkt. Es geht nie um das, worum es geht, aber das kann man auf Dauer nicht latent halten, weil es denen, denen es darum geht, darum halt nicht geht.
Migration und das Stadtbild... bemerkenswerte Aussage von #Merz: "Bei der Migration sind wir sehr weit [...] Aber wir haben natürlich immer im Stadtbild noch dieses Problem und deswegen ist der Bundesinnenminister ja auch dabei jetzt in sehr großem Umfang auch Rückführungen zu ermöglichen" 1/x

Unzählige internationale Organisationen und Zeug:innen dokumentieren das unbeschreibliche Leid in Gaza, aber in Deutschland denkt man sich zuhause vorm Bildschirm „die sehen gar nicht so mager aus“. An welchem Grad an Entmenschlichung sind wir angekommen, wenn so etwas Teil des Diskurses ist
Zumindest auf den Bildern im Netz wirken die Palästinenser ja nicht besonders mager. Gab es da denn jetzt eine Hungersnot oder war das gelogen?

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."
Ich habe es gelesen, würde mir medial mal eine Ausbuchstabierung des Begriffs wünschen (damit sind nicht nur Sie gemeint) - wie weit der Weg zu Frieden ("positiver Frieden") ist, wird durch dieses mit Pathos aufgeladene und mit Blick auf morgen nicht zufällig gepushte Feelgood-Wort imo verschleiert.
Ich wäre mit dem Begriff "Frieden" etwas vorsichtig.
