You see all I need's a whisper in a world that only shouts
What's left to say when every word's been spoken?
Hope is the beat in the oldest heart
A hand in a hand and a brand new start

🇩🇪 After the G20 summit in, Merz stressed that none of the six G7 countries, except the US, has shown any willingness to see Russia back in the group. A decision is possible only with full consensus.

🇫🇷 Macron said that there are currently no grounds for Russia to return.

Rep. Crockett slams Trump after person made "white supremacist threats" at her D.C. office
Rep. Crockett slams Trump after person made "white supremacist threats" at her D.C. office
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) criticized President Trump in a Thursday night statement announcing that a person showed up at her D.C. office and "made white supremacist threats and hand gestures." The big picture: Threats against lawmakers have surged in recent years, and Crockett said in a Thursday night statement that such intimidating encounters "cannot become the norm." Her comments came hours after House Democratic leadership said they'd contacted U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to protect a group of lawmakers after Trump appeared to suggest that their comments were " punishable by DEATH! "" Crockett referenced Trump in her statement. What they're saying: "We're living in a time where political violence is being fueled from the very top. When the President of United States spreads hate and lies, when he targets his political opponents, when he openly calls for the death of sitting Members of Congress, he is putting a literal target on our backs. The President should be committed unity, not more division," she said. "Some folks have questioned why I need security. This is why. Every time I speak truth, stand up for my constituents, or call out corruption, the threats get louder — and more dangerous," Crockett added. "I will not be intimidated. I will not be silenced. I will continue to show up for the people of Texas' 30th Congressional District.  But we cannot pretend that this is normal. When leaders promote hate, hate shows up — sometimes right at our door." Representatives for the White House and Capitol Police did not immediately respond to Axios' Thursday night request for comment.

🇩🇪 Germany’s Guard Battalion is now training heavily for real combat in Berlin, including subway firefight scenarios, to protect the federal government in a crisis.

Germany must become fully ready for hybrid threats, especially from Russia.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

Raleigh Mayor Cowell wields falling crime stats like a shield as federal agents arrive to treat NC capital like a crime scene. Jarring dissonance: City Hall says streets calm while DC votes with handcuffs, rendering local safety data irrelevant against a federal mandate that sees threat differently.
