Der Untertan
»Dieses Buch Heinrich Manns, heute, gottseidank, in aller HÀnde, ist das Herbarium des deutschen Mannes. Hier ist er ganz: in seiner Sucht zu befehlen und zu gehorchen, in seiner Roheit und in seiner ReligiositÀt, in seiner Erfolgsanbeterei und in seiner namenlosen Zivilfeigheit.« (Kurt Tucholsky)
Ist Verfassungsbruch schon Alltagserscheinung in Deutschland?
Hat das Folgen?
Nein, denn wie gesagt, es gibt keinerlei vorgesehene Sanktionen bei VerstoĂ einer Regierung gegen das Grundgesetz.
Staatsrechtler zur aufgeschobenen Ministervereidigung: „Merz hanÂdelt verÂfasÂsungsÂwidrig“
Es geht hier immerhin um eine der gröĂten Regierungsumbildungen in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Und da soll es fĂŒr einen Teil der Abgeordneten nicht möglich sein, fĂŒr einen Tag aus dem Urlaub zurĂŒckzukehren? UnabhĂ€ngig davon ist diese Norm aber schlicht geltendes Verfassungsrecht und an dieses hat man sich zu halten. Ich finde es schon einigermaĂen verstörend, dass diese Frage ĂŒberhaupt aufgeworfen wird. Wir betreten da gefĂ€hrliches Terrain, wenn wir verfassungsrechtliche Vorgaben aus OpportunitĂ€t einfach links liegen lassen.
Bundeskanzler Merz: EU-Israel-Abkommen endlich aussetzen!
Deine Stimme ist wichtig!
Mach Druck auf Bundeskanzler Merz und AuĂenminister Wadephul. Denn Deutschlands Stimme entscheidet. Ăndert die Bundesregierung ihre Haltung, reicht es fĂŒr einen Mehrheitsbeschluss in BrĂŒssel. DafĂŒr können wir jetzt gemeinsam sorgen.
Two More Israeli Soldiers Kill Themselves Amid Crisis Driven by Horrors of Genocide
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, two female IDF troopsâa combat soldier and an intelligence officerâdied by suicide this week. Israeli Military Police said they are investigating both deaths, which bring the number of active duty IDF troops who have killed themselves this year to at least 16. Haaretz said that at least nine former IDF soldiers have also committed suicide after completing their military service in 2026.
The latest deaths underscore what military officials, mental health professionals, and veterans have increasingly described as one of the most severe psychological crises the Israeli military has faced in decades.

Gaza death toll rises to 73,335 amid continued Israeli ceasefire breaches
GAZA, July 29, 2026 (WAFA) â Despite the ceasefire that went into effect in Gaza on October 11, Israeli breaches of the agreement have continued, with the death toll in the Gaza Strip rising to 73,335, mostly women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression in October 2023. At least 174,052 others have also been injured.
This toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.
Report: Saudi Arabia To Announce New Red Sea Coalition To Counter Yemenâs Ansar Allah
While the new blockade has disrupted shipping in the region, Ansar Allah hasnât announced a blanket ban on shipping through the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Some Chinese ships loaded with Saudi crude have also been able to pass through the strait, and Reuters reported that Beijing had cleared each passage with Sanaa.
But as the US-Iran war and conflict across the region are escalating again, the chances of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait being completely closed are rising. The Al-Monitor report, which cited two diplomatic sources and an unnamed US official, said that Riyadh has invited around 50 nations to join the Red Sea coalition, but that US support was seen as vital for the initiative to take off, and it was unclear at this point if Washington would participate.

Rep. Massie Joins Democrats in Attempt To Sue White House Over Iran War
(July 27, 2026)
The War Powers Resolution was passed by both the House and Senate in June, marking the first time Congress approved a concurrent resolution under the 1973 War Powers Act directing the termination of an unauthorized war.
Section 5(c) of the 1973 War Powers Act states that âat any time that United States Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by the President if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution.â
Trump critic Massie joins Democrats in unprecedented bid to sue White House over Iran war
(July 27, 2026)
Massie accused Trump and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth of being „in blatant violation of two sections of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.“
„For the first time since the law was enacted, a concurrent resolution has passed in accordance with 5(c) of the law, but the White House has ignored it. It seems theyâve assumed the law is unconstitutional, but no court has ever found that to be the case, so the law remains on the books while the White House flouts it. In the 1983 case INS v. Chadha, the Supreme Court did not opine on the 1973 War Powers Resolution. Itâs time for the courts to settle this, and thatâs what our legislation directs,“ Massie said.
Congress Hasnât Authorized Trumpâs Iran Warâor Ended It
Congress has not authorized Trumpâs Iran war. Until lawmakers either define and limit the mission or stop paying for it, troops and civilians will remain trapped between a president claiming the power to continue and a legislature unwilling to take responsibility for ending it.
