Der Präsident eines Staates, der seit drei Jahren geschunden und zerstört wird und dessen Bevölkerung vergewaltigt wird, muss sich vom US-Präsidenten vor der ganzen Welt anbrüllen lassen. Was für eine Schande

Chief economist for USAID resigned. He's a long time advocate and scholar for more effective development assistance and has pioneered evaluation programs to do that. Was put on administrative leave straight away. Offered to help the administration and they did not engage. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Why Dean Karlan, chief economist of USAID, resigned on Tuesday
He was hired in 2022 so the aid agency could get 'more bang for our buck' with its projects. He tried to reach out to help in the rebuilding of the agency. On Tuesday he tendered his resignation.

Still 20% have brought the story of the far right AfD, very sad. But I am very proud of all my fellow citizens who demonstrated against the AfD
Germany's “conservative” alliance, CDU and CSU (aligning more closely with America's center-left, moderate wing of the Democratic Party), has won the country’s national parliamentary election.
Thank god they teach history in German schools.
