Ist Jens #Spahn etwa ein #Landesverräter (#Thiel) und #Betrüger (Maskendeal)? Ist #Dobrindt am Ende ein #Verfassungsfeind und #Sozialschmarotzer? Ist #Merz ein elitärer #Machtmensch ohne Herz?

NEW: More Than 770,000 Children Are No Longer Receiving SNAP Benefits After Trump Changes Federal Food Program
Republican backers of Trump’s signature domestic policy bill repeatedly claimed that revisions to the food benefits program wouldn’t affect the most vulnerable. But reports from a dozen states show children are losing access.

“The opinion of the forensic pathologist in this case is that Ms. Michel was a vulnerable adult, suffering from untreated severe #MentalHealth issues & a significant #LanguageBarrier when she was released from federal custody on February 27,” Jim Madalinsky, the county’s public information officer, said in a statement. “Based on all available information during the investigation, the pathologist ruled Ms. Michel’s death a #homicide.”
Over the course of 3 days, Michel appears to have never left that bench, said her family’s attorney, who viewed the security footage & shared stills with WaPo. She had a history of untreated mental health issues & sat staring as people passed by, a plastic bag with her belongings, including a cellphone, placed beside her.

By March 2, the Haitian woman was no longer sitting. The last image captured in the footage, according to the attorney, shows her lying on the ground. Emergency responders arrived at the scene & transferred Michel to a hospital, where she died that day.
It was at least the second death this year involving an individual who was released by federal #immigration authorities & died days later of complications related to hypothermia.
Death of woman released by #ICE on a winter day is now ruled a #homicide
The grainy security footage from the Pittsburgh transit authority shows Daphy Michel seated on a steel bench. She had been released hours earlier from ICE custody, & temperatures that night would dip to freezing. The 31-year-old #asylum seeker wore only a hooded sweatshirt to keep herself warm.

🚨🚨🚨‼️
On 9/22/2025, #Trump signed an executive order “Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization.”
The Executive Order describes “#Antifa” as “a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.”
09/25025, Donald Trump issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum (#NSPM7) called “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,”
Echoing the Executive Order on Antifa, NSPM-7 characterizes this “pattern of violent and terroristic activities” as united under the umbrella of “anti-fascism,” which it defines as “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”
The #raids have started.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for parts of Washington and the surrounding states until 11 p.m. local time, with forecasters warning of possible hail, wind gusts up to 70 mph and frequent lightning. The fights will now kick off at 9 p.m. local time.

Good news everybody! It’s a million degrees and a 1000% humidity in DC for BirthdayBoi’s #UFC human cockfight. The mosquitoes and noseeums are out in force, according to pocket friends on the ground.
According to The Weather Channel, there will be a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 miles per hour.
And it gets better. UFC said fighters will receive payment in #WorldLibertyFinancial #crypto called “#stablecoins”. World Liberty named the currency “#USD1”.
World Liberty is a venture of the #Trump family and the family of Steven #Witkoff, Trump’s friend and special envoy to the Middle East. The company is now listed as an “official sponsor” of UFC Freedom 250, the fight scheduled for later today.
