„Wenn aber eine Ministerin und ihr Staatssekretär Tipps geben, wie noch effektiver lobbyiert werden kann, dann ist das ein Skandal. Das ist keine Politik für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger, sondern ganz offensichtlich eine Politik für Milliardärsfamilien.“

Nach nur 10 Tagen im Amt sprach Ministerin Reiche (CDU) beim Lobby-Event der Stiftung Familienunternehmen. Neue Dokumente zeigen: Sie und ihr Ministerium trafen die Milliardärslobby danach mehrfach, berieten über Steuersenkungen und mögl. parteipolitische Kampagnen: fragdenstaat.de/artikel/exkl...

Wirtschaftsministerium: Reiche berät Reiche

Bei Treffen mit der Stiftung Familienunternehmen gaben Ministerin Reiche und ihr Staatssekretär Tipps, wie die Superreichen-Lobby Steuersenkungen erreichen könne. Das zeigen interne Unterlagen.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Trump derangement syndrome actually does exist. Trump himself and just about all of his appointed sycophants are totally deranged.
