We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

The really remarkable thing is that with his tariffs, Trump has imposed the largest tax increase U.S. history.
He did this unilaterally, with zero input from Congress. And nearly every elected Republican supports it.
