Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency.
Congress can stop the tariffs.

“They’re ignoring every rule of classic micro and macro economics. This is the policymaking equivalent of a suicide bomber…”
That’s why only Congress can make any significant tax or tariff decisions.

Seit nun ununterbrochen über 19(!) Stunden hält der US-Demokrat #CoryBooker im US-Senat eine Marathonrede gegen Donald Trumps Politik.
Jeg støtter fortsat Ukraine i deres kamp for selvstændighed, frihed og en fair udgang på krigen – på Ukraines præmisser.
Samtidig står jeg også side om side med det georgiske folk i deres kamp for frie og fair valg og for løsladelsen af politiske fanger.
Frihed og demokrati er værd at kæmpe for – også når det er svært.

You know you live in a democracy when the head of the far-right and would-be presidential candidate is convicted along with a few henchmen for misappropriation of public funds. The court sentenced the former presidential candidate to four years' imprisonment, two of which were suspended, a fine of €100,000 and five years' ineligibility, to be served immediately. The party was also fined €2 million, including a €1 million fine.

@Blueteamsherpa When I see that millions spontaneously took to the streets in Germany (84,000,000 inhabitants) because a candidate for chancellor had accepted the votes of the ultra-right for a decision, I've actually been waiting far too long for the crowds in the USA.
This is a part of his #eugenics ideology, and it's you, the non-superrich people of the US, he wants to kill!

@c_9 best experience ever. My stint as a poll supervisor back in 2005 gave me confidence in our electoral system.
Demokratische Grüße an Herrn Erdogan (Es ist vorbei!)

Drum zolln wir ihr gebührenden Tribut!

«During the interview, Witkoff repeated various Russian arguments, including that Ukraine was "a false country" and asked when the world would recognise occupied Ukrainian territory as Russian.»
Witkoff, embraces an oppressive autocrat, betrays democracies and our allies around the world.
No one should stand for this anti-democracy disinformation.

I just discovered a rabbit hole website for people who search knowledge and background about modern #populism and threats to democracies: The European Center For Populism Studies (working about the whole world) https://www.populismstudies.org/ Perhaps interesting for others, too.
