German intelligence may be allowed to secretly infiltrate apartments — CNA 🔍 Germany is discussing the expansion of the powers of its intelligence services, which not long ago might have seemed unthinkable for a country with its historical experience.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used an arcane set of petty criteria to deny military promotions to women and minorities, it has been revealed 📰 Military sources told MS NOW that Hegseth would have staff conduct internet searches on military officers with sometimes decades of experience and deny them promotions if the results showed they had supported DEI, encouraged COVID-19 vaccines, or spoken at an International Women’s Day panel. Hegseth used this invented merit-based system as an excuse to disproportionately block women and people of color from advancing. In many cases, this effectively ended their military careers, as officers who do not receive the rank for which they were selected...

Pressure from Germany regarding the issue of financing Ukraine has met with resistance from a number of EU countries 🚫 The prime ministers of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Andrej Babiš and Robert Fico, opposed the initiative of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who effectively links the agreement on the next multi‑year budget of the European Union to the commitments of all member states to provide further financing for Ukraine. According to Babiš, such framing of the issue is unjustified, since the draft European budget already provides for significant funds for Kyiv. Fico went further, calling the German chancellor’s actions “typical blackmail” and reminding that Slovakia has the same...
