By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later.

‘Good chance’ of agreement, says JD Vance – but sources say his concerns over Britain’s hate speech laws ‘are still a red line’

Trumps Kurs zeigt: Energie wird in Zeiten von Geopolitik zur Machtfrage. Auch China setzt auf staatlich gesteuerte Industrie. Europa darf nicht zaudern – wir brauchen die Energiewende um unabhängig zu bleiben! Mehr dazu in meinem Tagesspiegel-Beitrag (Paywall). www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...

Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?

It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps. 

Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court.

Follow the money.

CDU/CSU & SPD unveiled their investment plans: A constitutional amendment is proposed to expand the defense budget, exempting spending above 1% GDP from debt brake. Additionally, a €500B special fund for infrastructure over 10 yrs planned. Bundestag vote next week! Greens & FDP still need convincing

I've been in politics for over 25 years now and I've heard many, many speeches, so I'm confident being able to recognise when a speech is a historic one! The 2025 State of the State speech by @govpritzker.illinois.gov is one, and I recommend listen to the longer version 🎤💥 youtu.be/hS66O1C7Gp4?si…

Election Update 🇩🇪🗳️

After counting all 299 constituencies, BSW has 4.9729 per cent, short of 13K votes. This means that 🇩🇪 will once again be governed by a (no longer quite so) grand coalition, with a majority of 13 votes!! The opposition consists of the AfD, the Greens & the Left Party. #BTW2025

Und noch so eine Lüge, die die #Wahl aufgedeckt hat: Junge #Frauen suchen nicht in den „ach so gefährlichen“ Städten nach dem starken Mann/der starken #Partei. Das sind eher die Phantasien jener Männer, die nie etwas anderes als das Land gesehen haben. - Frauen in Städten wählen smarter.
