House in Session: Live Floor Proceedings
(Livestream)
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people. We’re not falling for it.
Our opposition to our socialist colleagues isn’t because of their race, religion, or gender. It’s because their policies are dangerous, wrong, and would destroy America.

Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(2) is committed to keeping America open to those lawfully seeking refuge and asylum from violence and oppression, and those who are willing to work hard to live the American Dream, no matter their race, ethnicity, faith, or country of origin; and
(3) strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color by saying that our fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who may look to the President like immigrants, should ‘‘go back’’ to other countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers as ‘‘invaders,’’ and by saying that Members of Congress who are immigrants (or those of our colleagues who are wrongly assumed to be immigrants) do not belong in Congress or in the United States of America.

“In my view there is no threat to national security implied in the release of this material. It is embarrassing, but it is not a threat to national security. It is the duty of media organisations to bring new and interesting facts into the public domain. That is what they are there for.”

Nachfolge gesucht für von der Leyen: Schade, dass er ein Mann ist
Peter Tauber, als Staatssekretär ohnehin schon im Ministerium, ist in der Armee extrem beliebt. Viele in der Bundeswehr wünschen sich den Hessen als neuen Chef – vor allem deshalb, weil er einer von ihnen ist.

Europäischer Türöffner
n ihrem Koalitionsvertrag hatten sich CDU/CSU und SPD darauf verständigt, die aus dem Jahr 2000 stammenden „Politischen Grundsätze der Bundesregierung für den Export von Kriegswaffen und sonstigen Rüstungsgütern“ bis Ende 2018 zu aktualisieren. Auf den ersten Blick suggerierte die betreffende Passage, es gehe darum, die Richtlinien restriktiver zu gestalten. Näher betrachtet war darin aber – augenscheinlich bewusst – lediglich die Rede davon, man beabsichtige die Ausfuhrbestimmungen zu „schärfen“. Tunlichst wurde es vermieden, von einer „Verschärfung“ zu sprechen, wodurch der Rücken für Veränderungen in alle denkbaren Richtungen frei blieb.

Auf der Suche nach Möglichkeiten, die chinesischen Abwehrraketen auszuschalten, um eigene Angriffe durchsetzen zu können, wird in Washington zunehmend der Rückgriff auf landgestützte Mittelstreckenwaffen diskutiert, die auf dem Territorium verbündeter Staaten wie etwa Japan stationiert werden sollen, um China von dort aus unter Feuer nehmen zu können. Das setzt freilich den Ausstieg aus dem INF-Vertrag voraus.
