Universities Are Standing Up to Trump
'“At some point it becomes embarrassing, in a craven way, to make a deal for yourself and abandon those institutions that are standing up for academic freedom,” said Corey Brettschneider, a political science professor at Brown.'

Donald Trump steht an einem Rednerpult und hat einen sehr zufriedenen Gesichtsausdruck: er strahlt vor Stolz, Genugtuung und Freude.
#USA: Dem deutschen Journalisten Mario Sixtus wurde das Visum entzogen, nachdem sich der ZDF-Autor zu Charlie Kirks Tod geäußert hatte. Damit schaffen die USA einen Präzedenzfall, der andeuten könnte, welche Realität nun auf die internationale Berichterstattung aus den USA zurollt.

Die Rechtstreiber der CDU
Einige Wirtschaftslobbyisten und Denkfabriken untergraben aktiv die Brandmauer. Der nächste mögliche Tabubruch: eine Minderheitsregierung
Aktuell fordern einige CDUler und Andreas Rödder, die Brandmauer zur AfD fallen zu lassen. @gabrielakeller.bsky.social und ich haben Rödders Thinktank R21 schon im Januar als "Rechtstreiber" der CDU beschrieben - im Text, den die CDU in ihrer kleinen Anfrage kritisierte

🧵What’s the biggest lie the surveillance industry tells? That they only sell to legal clients. That there are red lines. But what do these companies say when they think nobody is watching? We went undercover to find out

💥🔎 In the 2010s, Hungary's intelligence began spying in Brussels against the EU and tried to recruit Hungarians working in EU institutions. But Orbán's spies did it so blatantly and clumsily that they were exposed.

Letitia James Is Among Prominent Black Women Targeted by Trump
Fani T. Willis, a district attorney who brought election interference charges against Mr. Trump, and Lisa Cook, who serves on the Federal Reserve Board, have also been investigated.
Among the long list of political adversaries President Trump has targeted in his second term are several Black women in powerful positions. Attorney General Letitia James of New York, who brought a civil case against Trump and won, is the latest.

💥ICYMI: Hungarian intelligence spied on the EU from Brussels in the 2010s, trying to recruit Hungarians inside EU institutions.

Wir haben leider etliche Personen in der Regierung und an der Spitze des Parlaments, die glauben, so würden die Leute auf der Straße reden, also machen sie es auch. So reden halt leider nur die Demokratiefeinde auf der Straße. Was mich auch interessieren würde: Haben die Interviewer nachgesetzt?

Trump obtains another settlement as YouTube agrees to pay $24.5 million
Alphabet settles with Trump instead of fighting lawsuit over January 6 suspension.
Yet another massive bribe: „Google owner Alphabet today agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit that President Trump filed against YouTube in 2021. Trump sued YouTube over his account being suspended after Trump supporters' January 6 attack on the US Capitol.“
