Deutschland ist wirtschafts- und energiepolitisch deutlich besser durch die massive Krise nach der russischen Vollinvasion gekommen, als viele es sich vorstellen konnten. Das ist auch das Verdienst von Robert Habeck.

Liebe deutsche Nachbarn!

Traut den Konservativen nicht!
Wenn sie die Macht vor Augen haben, schließen sie sich mit den Rechten zusammen. Immer. Und auch wenn's der Merz nicht tut: Irgendein Hinterbänkler findet sich immer.

Für euch in Österreich ausgiebig getestet.

Wir fragen uns warum der erste Weltkrieg ausbrach, obwohl es den Menschen relativ gut ging.

Und großer technischer Fortschritt das Leben täglich verbesserte

Und in 100 Jahren werden sich unsere Nachfolger genau die gleiche Frage über den 3. Weltkrieg stellen

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The United States of America has become a kleptocracy.
WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.”

Do y’all get it yet?

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump’s release of thugs who beat up cops and smeared feces in the Capitol is a “redemption” story.
Johnson’s use of religious language to justify fascism is disgusting.

Also, imagine being so conditioned by your both-sides conceit that you equate Biden's proactive pardons shielding people from a vindictive petty tyrant to the petty tyrant's pardons of violent insurrectionists and a guy who facilitated drug trafficking and child porn. @washingtonpost.com #BrokenPost

when GOPs making comments like these no one should get frustrated. they're fodder, wonderful cudgels to use when the public is unhappy about the President releasing from prison hundred of violent extremists and domestic terrorists. throw it in the message bucket and move on.
NEW: This morning, Speaker Johnson said he won't "second-guess" Donald Trump's pardons of Jan. 6 defendants and said "We’re not looking backwards, we’re looking forwards."

Then he ordered up an investigation of the Jan. 6 committee.

BREAKING NEWS:

Donald Trump orders all federal employees identified as DEI hires to placed on leave by 5pm.

The order is said to target trans federal employees and some people of Color.

This is arbitrary and evil. No other way to describe it.
