Die AfD hat Risch rausgeworfen. Er ist jetzt fraktionsloser Abgeordneter der Bürgerschaft - eher nicht weil es sich um haltlose Vorwürfe handelte.
Besser wäre natürlich, die AfD würde verboten und müsse nicht nur die öffentlich ertappten Extremen symbolisch abstrafen.

Noem thinks habeas corpus is the president’s constitutional right to remove people from the country.

Trump?

Thinks Habeas is a person.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

The next Supreme Court term is shaping up to be the most consequential since 1937. Depending on how it rules, it may cease to be accepted as a legitimate arbiter, and even nullify its own power as an independent judiciary.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

Ich habe mir einen Podcast mit Wadephul angehört, damit ihr es nicht müsst:

Wadephul weiß nicht, wo er am 7. Oktober war – aber er wusste an diesem Tag schon, dass Israel „überreagieren“ würde. Hellseherische Fähigkeiten oder einfach nur Reflex? Man weiß es nicht.

Das ganze "Sprachpolizei"-Gejammere von rechts war immer schon heuchlerisch. Sie hatten bereits vor Jahrzehnten ihre eigene PC.
Z.B. sollte ich im Vortrag die Ex-DDR-Gebiete nicht "ostdeutsche", sondern "mitteldeutsche" nennen. Als bleibe Deutschland nun auf ewig ein Land ohne Osten. 🤦
