Bundesfamilienministerin Karin Prien kürzt mehr als 200 Projekten bei »Demokratie leben!« das Geld. Menschen, die im Ministerium arbeiten, sagen: weil sie der Hausspitze zu links sind. Auch interne Dokumente, die wir einsehen konnten, nähren den Verdacht.

Das Deutschlandticket kostet die Bundesregierung 1,5 Milliarden Euro für das ganze Jahr.

Der ineffektive Tankrabatt soll für nur 2 Monate 1,6 Milliarden Euro kosten.

(Wenn es wie 2022 läuft, kostet er am Ende 3,2 Milliarden Euro pro Quartal.)

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

The Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service. 193 million acres of public land (bigger than Texas) is being handed over to political operatives and industry insiders.

Vielleicht wäre es sinnvoll, die Kernaufgabe der Wirtschaftsministerin an eine andere Person auszulagern?

In addition to the hypocrisy, this obscene display of wealth by someone who skirts paying taxes is disgusting in a country that claims not to be able to afford to feed or cure its children.

NEW: ICE Raided Children's Dorms at Dilley and Confiscated Their Letters. I'm Suing to Get Them Back. In our latest lawsuit, MSW Media is demanding children's letters confiscated by ICE agents, and the Office of General Counsel memo authorizing warrantless home entry.

Give your key defenses and fortress cities to Russia which has been unable to take them in 12 years of fighting, and then we who are acting to strengthen Russia will pretend to help you protect the rest of your country. This is shameful, rotten, and stinks of corruption.

Der Preis fürs Deutschlandticket steigt künftig automatisch Künftig wollen nicht mehr Bund und Länder entscheiden, was die Nahverkehrsflatrate kosten soll. Stattdessen soll der Preis mithilfe einer komplizierten Formel berechnet werden.

The Trump admin will pay $1 billion to a French company to walk away from two U.S. offshore wind leases.

The admin says it's focusing, instead, on investments in fossil fuel projects.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Als Fähnchen im Winde müsste Markus Söder Windkraft doch eigentlich richtig gut finden.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Rückzug von Brosius-Gersdorf: Kritik an Spahn flammt auf Unter dem Druck der Union hat die Richterkandidatin Brosius-Gersdorf ihren Rückzug verkündet. Die SPD ermahnt den Koalitionspartner. Grüne und Linke reagieren mit heftiger Kritik und sehen die Schuld ...

Finde top, dass Jens Spahn sich über eine angebliche „Schmutzkampagne“ echauffiert.

Ich sag nur: Brosius-Gersdorf.

Das war natürlich keine Schmutzkampagne, stimmt’s? Da ging es nämlich nicht gegen einen Mann, sondern gegen eine Frau, und das ist immer gut und edel.
