In the last week, we’ve seen federal officials threaten or scheme to arrest a governor, federal judges, and a former president.
Bovino: "We're ratcheting operations up in Chicago. That's a very corrupt system in Chicago. Whether it's those elected leaders like Pritzker or those out of control judges, Chicago needs some attention. You're gonna see some very dynamic operations."

Die Bundesregierung verstärkt die Razzien gegen Schwarzarbeit. Im Fokus liegen u.a. Barber-Shops und Kosmetikstudios. Ausgenommen von den Razzien sind die Landwirtschaft und die Fleischindustrie.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

Es wäre politischer Selbstmord für die CDU. Warum sollte die AfD ihrem Hauptfeind (sic) politische Erfolge gönnen? Was sollen SPD, Grüne und FDP von einer CDU halten, die sich ihre Mehrheiten auch mit der AfD sucht? Welche „Kompromisse“ müßte die Union machen?

„Gaffe“, an interesting euphemism for a prominent political figure‘s full-throated defense of a right-wing conspiracy theorist‘s interview with a known Holocaust denier.
Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, faced blowback after defending Tucker Carlson's interview with a white nationalist. He later apologized and said he erred out of ignorance, because he did not keep up with the news and had simply read an aide’s script.

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Rather than let them escape, conservative policymakers are trying to trap women in marriage and motherhood. Because caregiving responsibilities make it harder for women to get themselves out.
