Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

Not only that, this will have to be a 3 party coalition. Not ideal.

This is a dangerously misleading take.

They literally doubles the number of seats they got 4 years ago. AND The conservative CDU leader and soon to be Chancellor has worked with them in the past. They are not shut out yet until see the final coalition.

You are irresponsible in reporting the news. The Afd will get almost 21% (2nd place). That is an incredibly strong and worrying level of support. As a result, Germany will need a 3 party coalition to form a government, which is not ideal. In these challenging times, we have to be honest.

The GOP has 54 votes in the Senate. They don't need any help from the Dems. Regarding budget, the Senate Dems have a very modest level of influence. In the House, if the GOP caucus stays together, they have zero influence.

There really isn't a goddamn thing he or the Democrats can do if the GOP keeps their caucus together.

WTAF does she expect him to do? Congress is controlled by the GOP. What a stupid question.

This isn't an accurate headline. The Afd is on track to get over 20% of the vote, which is a very strong showing. The only reason they won't have power is because the other parties refuse to form a coalition government with them.

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia.

Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist.

Extraordinary.

4 Top Officials Resign Over Adams’s Cooperation With Trump Four deputy mayors to Eric Adams are leaving “to stay faithful to the oaths we swore to New Yorkers and our families,” they said in a statement.

Governor Kathy Hochul stays silent as New York City burns?! She needs to go. If she has no backbone then why is she still in office?!

This is a trap. Trump wants the Democrats to get emotional and combative. The Dems need to be the adults in the room and stick to data & facts, and work on their own positive message. Just being anti Trump is not getting us back in power.

These people need to take a civics class. Trump controls all levers of power. He's also ITCHING to blame his upcoming failures on Democratic resistance. We need to lay low, let him punch himself out, and fail.

Disagree. Trump controls all levers of power AND his approval ratings are still high. Democrats being angry and anti-Trump is NOT going to win voters back. They need to be the adults in the room, shine a light on Trump's behavior, and let him fail.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Abortions to resume in Missouri after judge temporarily blocks a restriction that providers say prevented the procedure.

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

I will add use Blue Sky and get your friends and family members to use the platform!!!!

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Trash!

Yeah, I agree. Even if the lose the next Presidential Election, the Republicans are not going to hand the keys over. I am willing to bet Trump decides to stay in office for a Third Term.

Asked if Trump's rapid fire executive orders will make the next Democratic president do the same, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "thinking about 2028 at this moment for me is a luxury"

Jesus Christ. We need a fighter. How about? If Trump ignore the court there will be nothing stopping a future Democratic POTUS from doing the same. So, so much for the Conservative majority they have spent decades creating.

Elon Musk’s Attacks on CFPB Remove Obstacle to Building ‘X Money’ Former officials at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Elon Musk’s payment-business aspirations were driving his efforts to hobble the agency.

Elon Musk is working to transform X, his social media platform, into a virtual wallet where people can send money to each other. Digital payment platforms have come under intense scrutiny by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but that is likely to ease.
