In Washington, D.C., haben führende Vertreter der New Apostolic Reformation am letzten Wochenende in Zusammenarbeit mit der Trump Regierung ein religiöses Revival abgehalten - Kernstück der Veranstaltung: christlicher Nationalismus und spiritual warfare. Es geht um Dämonen, Dominanz und Herrschaft:

Attorney General Pam Bondi sold $1 million to $5 million worth of shares in President Trump’s media company last month on the same day that he announced expansive tariffs that led to a stock market rout, according to disclosure filings.

Trump on his faith advisers: "They work right out of the White House. That's never been done before. No other president allowed that. They say 'separation between church and state.' I said, alright, let's forget about that for one time."

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Who did Donald Trump tell about the tariff pause ahead of time?

Die Kanzlei "Clare Locke" arbeitet in den USA seit Jahren daran, die Rechte von Journalist*innen zu schwächen, gilt als eine der aggressivsten Medienrechts-Kanzleien. Jetzt will die US-Kanzlei im Auftrag von Österreichs Ex-Kanzler Kurz offenbar auch den Falter einschüchtern. #Pressefreiheit

Da Kickl nicht Kanzler geworden ist, demonstrieren ~1500 Personen in #Wien auf einer sog. Megademo von Martin Rutter (der laut Gerichtsentscheid ohne gleichzeitig dargelegtem Tatsachensubstrat nicht Rechtsextremist genannt werden darf), für Neuwahlen, gegen den Untergang und gegen eine Katzensteuer.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Breaking News: Stocks tumbled as investors reacted to concerns about the economy and tariffs, erasing almost all gains since President Trump’s inauguration.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

The Trump administration said Friday it would continue to block Associated Press journalists from places like the Oval Office and Air Force One because the wire service was using the name Gulf of Mexico.
