Die umstrіttene Resolution des Ministerrats gegen sichere Verschlüsselung wurde im neuen Richtlinienentwurf für „hochklassige Cybersichereit“ vom 16. Dezember verankert. Da Resolutionen per se nicht bindend sind, deutet das auf ein „Fait Accompli“ hin, eine informell bereits beschlossene Sache. Von der Vorratsdatenspeicherung (bis 2006) bis zur aktuell beschlossenen Regulation gegen Terrorpropaganda (Start 2016) im Netz haben noch alle großen EU-Überwachungsvorhaben so begonnen.

Donald Trump Presses Senate On $2,000 Stimulus Checks, Says People ‚Have Suffered Enough‘
Trump responded to comments that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) could filibuster a move to override the president‘s veto of the defense funding bill unless a vote is held on the $2,000 checks.
Replying to details of this potential move, Trump wrote on Twitter: „Give the people $2000, not $600. They have suffered enough!“
Bernie Sanders hopes to force Senate vote on $2,000 stimulus checks
Sanders, an independent from Vermont, made the comments after Democrats in the House – joined by 44 Republicans – voted to more than triple the $600 checks included in the coronavirus relief package signed by President Donald Trump over the weekend.
Sens. Markey and Sanders to stall defense bill veto override vote in effort for $2,000 relief checks
Soon after Sanders’ announcement, Markey said he would join in on the filibuster.
“That relief passed in the House today with 44 Republicans voting for it,” Markey wrote on Twitter. “Senate Republicans must do the same and get the American people the help they need.”
Lone poll I‘ve see has the conservative United Arab List at 1.1%, well below threshold. So Joint List very possibly will patch things up. But might not UAL‘s departure actually pave way for an eventual left Arab-Jewish party?
(24.12.2020)
Most amusing development: The Joint List, a coalition of 4 Arab parties, is likely to split up. One of the parties, an Islamist Bedouin party called „United Arab List“ is likely going to run separately as pro-Netanyahu
(24.12.2020)
Some might be shocked at #Israel‘s Prime Minister Benjamin @Netanyahu ‚s alliance with the Joint List‘s Mansour Abbas, but this is unsurprising considering the PM‘s other ties to right-wing, anti-liberal figures worldwide.
Ex-Foreign Minister Livni Mulls Joining Forces With Lapid Ahead of Israel‘s March Election
As for Ya’alon, Lapid is convinced that he has very little electoral value and is disappointed in Ya’alon’s level of support. The Yesh Atid chairman has also concluded that the center-right, with which Ya’alon is identified, is too crowded and he plans to move leftward before the election.
This week on the Senate floor Mitch McConnell wants to vote to override Trump‘s veto of the $740 billion defense funding bill and then head home for the New Year. I‘m going to object until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class
Sanders to slow down NDAA veto override in bid to get vote on $2K checks proposal
„This week on the Senate floor Mitch McConnell wants to vote to override Trump‘s veto of the $740 billion defense funding bill and then head home for the New Year. I‘m going to object until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class,“ Sanders tweeted.
House overrides Trump veto of defense bill
The House voted 322-87 to override Trump, easily surpassing the two-thirds majority needed to overcome a veto.
The action now moves to the Senate, which also needs to muster two-thirds support in order for Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to be overridden.
House approves stimulus check increase to $2,000
The House on Monday approved a bill that would increase COVID stimulus checks to $2,000. The bill is likely dead on arrival in the GOP-controlled Senate, despite President Trump‘s insistence on larger checks. Mr. Trump signed a bill on Sunday night that would distribute $600 stimulus checks. Wall Street Journal congressional reporter Siobhan Hughes joins CBSN to discuss.
