Ende der Sozialdemokratie: Klingbeil warnt SPD vor Personal- und Kursdebatten

Angesichts schlechter Umfragewerte und befĂŒrchteter Niederlagen bei den anstehenden Wahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Berlin gibt es vermehrt innerparteiliche Kritik an Klingbeil und Koparteichefin BĂ€rbel Bas. Mit der Forderung nach einem Sonderparteitag steht die Frage ihrer Ablösung im Raum. Als mögliche Nachfolgerin gilt in Teilen der Partei Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns MinisterprĂ€sidentin Manuela Schwesig, die bei der Landtagswahl Ende September ihr Regierungsamt verteidigen will.

Union und Linke: Mehr als ein „Pocket Call“

(May 7, 2025)

Kurz nachdem Friedrich Merz im ersten Wahlgang gescheitert ist, erhĂ€lt die ehemalige Chefin der Linkspartei Janine Wissler einen Anruf. Alexander Dobrindt ist am Apparat, bis vor kurzem CSU-Landesgruppenchef. Das sei jetzt kein „Pocket Call“, also kein Taschenanruf aus Versehen, gibt er Wissler zu verstehen, er mĂŒsse dringend mit ihr sprechen……

Five Takeaways From Francesca Hong’s Near-Win in Wisconsin

Francesca Hong, the democratic socialist running in the Democratic primary for the Wisconsin governor’s race, lost last night in an extremely close election. She came within half a percentage point of beating David Crowley, the executive of Milwaukee County. Preelection polling showed Hong with a commanding lead, and many assumed she would coast to victory. As such, her result is being spun as a hard defeat for the socialist left.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed Wins Democratic Primary, Defeats Record $70M Spending

MICHIGAN – On Tuesday, August 4th, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s United States Senate seat, prevailing in the most expensive Senate primary in American history. The race drew record breaking outside spending from AIPAC and corporate special interests, totaling nearly $70 million, Abdul having been outspent 11:1.

An average of $95 was spent for every vote against Abdul, more than 10 times as much as Abdul’s $9 per vote average.

Vorbereitung fĂŒr den Ausnahmezustand

„Der Zustimmungsfall wird dann relevant, wenn der Bundestag einzelne Regelungen in Kraft setzen will, die im Spannungsfall gelten wĂŒrden, aber den Spannungsfall insgesamt noch nicht ausrufen will“, sagt Hegemann. FĂŒr diese einzelnen Regeln reicht dann wie bei regulĂ€ren Gesetzen grundsĂ€tzlich eine einfache Mehrheit im Parlament.

Das geplante BND-Gesetz formuliert fĂŒr alle drei FĂ€lle Regeln. Vor allem aber Ă€ndert es den Mechanismus, wie der Zustimmungsfall fĂŒr das BND-Gesetz ausgelöst werden kann. Das soll sich am Zustimmungsfall aus dem Grundgesetz „orientieren“, aber umgeht dabei das Plenum des Bundestags.

An die Stelle eines regulĂ€ren parlamentarischen Verfahrens soll nĂ€mlich ein Vorschlag der Bundesregierung treten, dem das Parlamentarische Kontrollgremium zustimmen mĂŒsste. Dann könnten einzelne oder alle Regelungen des Gesetzes zum Spannungs- und Verteidigungsfall „freigeschaltet“ werden. Dass der Bundestag als Ganzes dabei außen vor bliebe, hat noch einen weiteren Effekt: „Eine Veröffentlichung ist nicht vorgesehen.

Beihilfe zum Angriffskrieg

Die Auffassung, dies habe keine Folgen, ist laut Michael Riegner, Professor fĂŒr Öffentliches Recht, Völkerrecht und Rechtsvergleichung an der UniversitĂ€t Erfurt und Direktor der dortigen Global Justice Clinic, nicht haltbar. Es sei unzulĂ€ssig, Artikel 26 Absatz 1 des Grundgesetzes auf die Bundeswehr zu beschrĂ€nken, urteilt Riegner. In dem Paragraph heißt es, „Handlungen, die geeignet sind 
, das friedliche Zusammenleben der Völker zu stören, insbesondere die FĂŒhrung eines Angriffskrieges vorzubereiten“, seien „unter Strafe zu stellen“. Wer die FĂŒhrung eines Angriffskriegs ermögliche, leiste „Beihilfe“, konstatiert Riegner.[11] Es könne kein Zweifel daran bestehen, dass dies auch im Fall der Vorbereitung eines Angriffskrieges durch StreitkrĂ€fte eines Drittstaates gelte, etwa durch die StreitkrĂ€fte der USA.

Netanyahu‘s government to back Biden in bid to win Senate support for Saudi pact

(August 6, 2023)

In Israel, there‘s concern that the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, might delay and consider pushing the U.S. agreement until after the 2024 presidential elections.

Israel has sent signals to Saudi Arabia emphasizing the advantages of forging ahead under the current Democratic regime. If a future Republican government, possibly under the leadership of former President Donald Trump, were to take over, bridging bipartisan support for the deal might become an uphill battle.

(…)

Beyond a defense pact, the Saudis also have raised requests with the US for civilian nuclear capabilities, advanced weaponry, and beyond. Israeli agreement would be crucial for these components.

House Rule Advances 2027 NDAA With Section to Integrate US and Israeli Militaries

The House on Tuesday approved a procedural vote to advance the $1.15 trillion 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a section to further integrate the US and Israeli militaries, a plan that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said was his idea.

The rule to allow floor debate and a vote on the NDAA and several pieces of legislation passed in a 214-211 vote, and a final vote on the House’s version of the NDAA is expected to take place on Wednesday. The procedural step came after the House Rules Committee denied a vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to strip Section 219, the Israeli integration plan, from the bill.

The push to put a billionaire tax to a popular vote in blue California has exposed deep divides on the left, even as Democratic politicians across the country rally around calls for the wealthy to pay more. The issue is pitting the populist mood of the public against many Democrats’ fears that the measure will push the ultrawealthy to join a broader exodus from the state and take their tax dollars with them.

While other Democrats are distancing themselves from Biden’s failed reelection bid and the political wreckage that followed, California’s governor is leaning in. Newsom has praised Biden’s presidency, defended his record, and positioned himself as one of the party’s most visible Biden loyalists.

He has called the Biden presidency a “masterclass of policymaking.” He has said he will never turn his back on Biden. And last week, he went further.

He hosted Hunter Biden on his podcast.

Gavin Newsom moves to neutralize tax on billionaires

(January 12, 2026)

The conversations, reported here for the first time, have occurred intermittently for months as SEIU-UHW’s ballot initiative targeting billionaires migrated from the backrooms of California politics to the center of a raging debate about Silicon Valley and income inequality, sparking tech titans’ wrath and vows to move out of state.

“We’ve been at this for four months,” Newsom said in an interview with POLITICO, describing an “all-hands” effort that has included him meeting one-on-one with SEIU-UHW’s leader, Dave Regan.

A compromise does not appear imminent. A union official cast doubt on the possibility of a deal, saying the two sides do not currently have another meeting scheduled and framing a ballot fight as an inevitability.

U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman, a two-term incumbent, was beaten by the Mamdani-backed former city Comptroller Brad Lander, a fixture among New York progressives who has often shown sympathy to the democratic socialist movement.
