It has now been two days since President Trump declared that he might accept dirt on political opponents from foreign governments in the 2020 presidential election. He did so despite the fact that such a move appears likely to be illegal and that the chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission confirmed it would be.
But Republicans keep finding creative ways to defend Trump’s comment.

Seit einigen Jahren wechseln in Deutschland Wohnungsbestände aus öffentlichem und genossenschaftlichem Besitz in erheblichem Umfang in das Eigentum internationaler Finanzfonds. Nach einer auf Angaben des Deutschen Mieterbundes beruhenden Übersicht waren das bis Ende 2005 mehr als 530.000 Wohnungen.[1] Besonders große Einzelaufkäufe betrafen 114.000 Eisenbahnerwohnungen des Bundes und 81.000 Wohnungen der Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Gagfah (der Bundesversicherungsanstalt für Angestellte). Branchenkenner – wie Morgan Stanley[2] – rechnen damit, dass in der nächsten Zeit weitere 1,5-2 Millionen Wohnungen „an den Markt“ kommen werden.
Einige Verkäufe fanden, insbesondere weil es sich um ganze kommunale Wohnungsunternehmen wie in Berlin (GSW mit 66.000 Wohnungen) und Dresden (WOBA mit 48.000 Wohnungen) handelte, eine große öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und haben auch zu heftigen Auseinandersetzungen innerhalb der Linkspartei.PDS und mit der WASG geführt.

Nachdem die Landesregierung am Morgen der Verkaufsempfehlung des Finanzsenators Thilo Sarrazin (SPD) zugestimmt hatte, wurde am Nachmittag der notarielle Kaufvertrag unterschrieben. Jetzt muss noch das Abgeordnetenhaus zustimmen. Die Regierungsfraktionen SPD und PDS haben aber ebenso Zustimmung signalisiert wie CDU, FDP und Grüne.
Neuer Eigentümer der GSW mit ihren 949 Mitarbeitern ist ein Konsortium, das von den US-Fondsgesellschaften Whitehall (dahinter steht Goldman Sachs) und Cerberus dominiert wird.
Panorama decided to take one day in the long and complicated saga of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and to dissect it. It’s April 11, 2019, the day when he was removed from the Ecuadorian embassy and arrested by the UK police. What happened that day? How did the UK government respond? Why don’t we know there were other people connected to Wikileaks who found themselves in trouble with the law that day? And what does April 11, 2019 tell us about the Assange saga?
„Es ist an der Zeit, Wikileaks als das zu benennen, was es wirklich ist: Ein nicht-staatlicher, feindlicher Geheimdienst“, sagte der heutige US-Außenminister Mike Pompeo über die Enthüllungs-Plattform bei einer Rede als CIA-Direktor 2017. Entsprechend behandeln die USA Assange nun nach seiner Festnahme in London. Sie werfen ihm vor, geheime Informationen erhalten und verbreitet zu haben. Und sie klagen ihn deshalb nach dem Spionage-Gesetz („Espionage Act“) an, das Strafen bis hin zur Todesstrafe vorsieht.
Paul Embery @ Leave Means Leave March, 29th March.
Paul Embery has spent 20 years as a dedicated trade-union official, fighting for better rights, conditions and pay for firefighters with the Fire Brigades Union. But today he revealed that he has been kicked off the union’s national executive and banned from office for two years.
Why? Because he delivered a pro-Brexit speech at the Leave Means Leave rally outside parliament on the day we were supposed to leave the EU.

With Boris Johnson enjoying a seemingly unassailable lead, having won 114 votes in the first round of ballots in the leadership contest to decide our next Prime Minister, his remaining rivals have only one hope: that he will fall, in spectacular fashion, at the final hurdle.

The British, French and German Ambassadors to Iran welcomed representatives from INSTEX and E3 technical experts to Tehran this week for discussions with the relevant Iranian experts and counterparts. These discussions, funded by the EU TAIEX instrument, have helped to advance our collective efforts to ensure trade with Iran that is compliant with EU and international law can continue, including through the special purpose vehicle “INSTEX”.
We understand the economic pressure the Iranian people are facing. We are committed to working with Iran to deliver INSTEX’s first transaction as quickly as possible.
The four Arab-majority parties in Knesset – Hadash, Ta’al, Balad and United Arab List – are expected to announce a joint run in Israel‘s September 17 election within the next couple of weeks, senior Hadash offical told Haaretz Wednesday.
The Democratic National Committee has officially announced the 20 candidates who will appear onstage in the first 2020 Democratic presidential debates.
Hosted by NBC News, MSNBC and Telemundo, the debates will be broadcast in primetime from Miami on June 26 and 27.
INSTEX will probably fail or prove to be wholly inadequate in the short term. The dollar’s dominance in global transactions — which has been a huge benefit for the United States — will be hard to displace, but INSTEX is a warning sign, the canary in the coal mine. The United States’ closest allies are working hard to chip away at a crucial underpinning of U.S. global power.
WASHINGTON/TOKYO – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that the U.S. government blames Iran for attacks on two oil tankers — including one operated by a Tokyo-based company — near the Persian Gulf, casting it as the latest in a series of “provocative actions” that have sharply raised tensions in the region.
„I do not see Trump as worthy of any message exchange, and I do not have any reply for him, now or in future,“ Iranian state media quoted Khamenei as telling the Japanese premier.
