Ulf ist Autor, Journalist und Herausgeber von WELT, Politico und Business Insider. Im April 2025 erschien sein Buch “Shitbürgertum”, in dem er seine Sicht auf die sogenannte linksgrüne Woke-Bewegung darlegt. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, wie er zu dem wurde, der er heute ist, warum er immer den Weg der Provokation wählt und ob er sich selbst als radikalisiert betrachtet. Wir sprechen über Ulfs Vergangenheit auf der “anderen Seite”, es geht um Respekt, Radikalität, Ressentiments und Rechtfertigung.

Victoria Guida, economics correspondent and columnist for Politico, talks about President Trump's reported decision – and then quick reversal – of a move last week to oust Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. She goes behind the scenes on what the president is telling allies, how GOP lawmakers view the situation, and why firing Powell might not solve Trump's central concerns.

For years, Republicans slammed Democrats for using federal power to support clean energy, arguing the government shouldn't be in the business of picking winners and losers in the energy space. But now, under President Donald Trump, they're doing the same – but to push for more growth for fossil fuels and nuclear power. POLITICO's Zack Colman breaks down the GOP's energy flip and what it means for America's future. Plus, House appropriators released a committee report Monday raising issues with policies at EPA and the Interior Department and detailing how they want the $38 billion package spent in fiscal 2026. Zack Colman covers climate change for POLITICO.  Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO and the host of POLITICO Energy. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy.  Kara Tabor is an audio producer for POLITICO.

Do you have faith in Labour on immigration?Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question this evening are Labour MP Natasha Irons, former Northern Ireland first minister Baroness Arlene Foster, POLITICO's Anne McElvoy and The Sun's Jack Elsom.

Presa europeană comentează pe marginea unui subiect controversat din perioada de campanie a președintelui SUA, Donald Trump. Acesta a promis desecretizarea documentelor din scandalul „Epstein”. Jurnaliștii internaționali privesc cu scepticism această promisiune, întrebându-se dacă Trump se va ține de cuvânt. Semnul întrebării rămâne ridicat, iar discuțiile continuă. „Sub lupa propriilor susținători”, titrează ziarul britanic The Independent. „Maestrul teoriilor conspirației este acum el însuși amenințat de o teorie a conspirației”, scrie The Independent: „Pentru prima dată, baza nu cumpără ceea ce vinde Donald Trump. (...) Deși ieri a anunțat, în cele din urmă, că i-a cerut procurorului general Pam Bondi să elibereze dosarele „pertinente” (...) mișcarea ar putea fi prea puțin și prea târziu. (...) Nu este chiar ca în cazul Dr. Frankenstein, să piardă controlul asupra monstrului pe care l-a creat, dar dacă trăiești prin teoria conspirației... așa cum a făcut Trump... poți muri și prin ea.” The Conversation ridică o întrebare directă: „Se clatină loialitatea mișcării MAGA?” Criminologul Robert Dover comentează: „Întrebarea dacă mișcarea Make America Great Again este acum mai mare decât Trump va rămâne. Pentru un președinte care a glumit odată că ar putea «să stea în mijlocul Fifth Avenue și să împuște pe cineva fără să piardă niciun votant», loialitatea și flexibilitatea susținătorilor săi sunt cruciale. Mișcarea MAGA nu este monolitică în convingerile sau acțiunile sale. Dar dacă Trump pierde loialitatea unei părți a trupelor sale, sau dacă acestea refuză să se conformeze, așa cum au făcut până acum, acest lucru l-ar putea costa scump din punct de vedere politic. De dincolo de mormânt, Epstein ar putea foarte bine să fi inaugurat o nouă eră în politica americană.” Cei de la CNN nu au ezitat să se alăture comentariilor despre scandalul care îl implică pe Trump. Ei au formulat cinci întrebări privind apropierea dintre Trump și Epstein, precum și posibilitatea ca fostul președinte să fie menționat direct în documentele desecretizate: „Ce știa Trump despre înclinațiile lui Epstein?”, întreabă jurnaliștii CNN. „Întrebările despre cine știa, ce și când în legătură cu comportamentul lui Epstein persistă de mult timp. Proprietatea Mar-a-Lago a lui Trump a fost fundalul unora dintre fărădelegile lui Epstein. Iar legăturile sociale dintre Epstein și Trump se învârteau adesea în jurul femeilor.”  The Washington Post notează tranșant: „Trump a supraviețuit multor scandaluri, dar povestea Epstein este un cu totul alt test.” Politico își începe articolul cu un mesaj direct adresat activistei de extremă dreapta Laura Loomer, care susține că Trump nu are legătură cu dosarele Epstein: „Ne pare rău, Laura Loomer. Este extrem de puțin probabil ca Departamentul de Justiție al președintelui Donald Trump să dea curs apelului comentatorului de extremă dreapta de a numi un consilier special care să gestioneze dosarele Jeffrey Epstein, din motive atât practice, cât și politice: pentru a face acest lucru ar fi nevoie de o răsturnare de situație de proporții atât de mari încât pare aproape imposibil de imaginat.” Jeffrey Epstein, un businessman apropiat al lui Donald Trump, a fost arestat în 6 iulie 2019, sub acuzația federală de trafic de minori în scopuri sexuale, în beneficiul mai multor apropiați ai săi. Epstein s-a sinucis în închisoare nu mult timp după aceea, la 10 august 2019, potrivit Wikipedia.   Articol redactat de Cezar Ionuț Ionescu

Plus, POLITICO reporter Ben Jacobs digs into his reporting on social media influencers running for office and how the phenomenon is reshaping electoral politics.  Listen and subscribe to The Conversation with Dasha Burns on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

En este video analizamos el reciente caso de Juan Requesens, quien, tras pasar cuatro años separado de su familia, finalmente reaparece visitando a sus hijos en Estados Unidos. Un hecho que levanta más preguntas que certezas: ¿es este el "premio" tras pactar con el régimen? ¿Fue su salida parte de una nueva negociación electoral con la dictadura?Este caso se suma a una tendencia cada vez más clara: ex presos políticos que, tras su liberación, terminan alineados con intereses del chavismo, recibiendo pasaportes, partidos políticos, candidaturas... o hasta canales de YouTube.Hablamos también de la llamada "generación RCTV-Globovisión", jóvenes figuras de la política opositora que pasaron de la cárcel al poder, o al negocio. Casos como Daniel Ceballos, Yon Goicoechea y otros que ilustran cómo el chavismo convierte la represión en una herramienta de cooptación.

Donald Trump's foreign policy has been as unstable as the man himself, shifting quickly frompushes for restraint to escalating wars in the Middle East. This volatility is a function not just ofTrump's personality but the contradictions and competing factions that are gathered under theterm America First, as well as the continued power of the foreign policy establishment thatTrump has claimed he defeated but which maintains a strong capacity to shape policy. To talkabout Trump's foreign policy and the factional battles that have bedevilled his administration, Ispoke to Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. In particular we take up the attacks on Elbridge Colby, the under-secretary of defense forpolicy. Colby was the subject of a Politico hatchet job which claimed he was running a rogueforeign policy.

Niccolò Machiavelli è uno degli autori più famosi e controversi della letteratura italiana. Il suo capolavoro "Il Principe" continua a influenzare la politica e la filosofia moderne dopo cinquecento anni. Questo articolo ti aiuterà a comprendere meglio la vita, le opere e l'eredità di questo straordinario pensatore fiorentino, con esempi pratici per migliorare il tuo italiano. Niccolò Machiavelli e "Il Principe": Spiegazione Facile e Chiara Chi Era Niccolò Machiavelli: Biografia e Contesto Storico Niccolò Machiavelli nacque a Firenze nel 1469, in un'epoca turbolenta per l'Italia. Il Paese era diviso in numerosi stati indipendenti che combattevano costantemente tra loro, mentre potenze straniere come Francia e Spagna cercavano di conquistare territori italiani. Machiavelli non proveniva da una famiglia nobile o ricca. Era quello che oggi chiameremmo un "funzionario pubblico" o "diplomatico". Lavorava per la Repubblica di Firenze occupandosi di politica estera e affari militari. Questa esperienza pratica gli permise di osservare da vicino come funzionava realmente il potere politico. Vocabolario utile: Repubblica = forma di governo senza re Diplomatico = persona che rappresenta il suo paese all'estero Politica estera = relazioni con altri paesi Affari militari = questioni riguardanti l'esercito La Caduta Politica e l'Esilio: Il Momento che Cambiò Tutto Nel 1512, la vita di Machiavelli cambiò drammaticamente. La famiglia dei Medici tornò al potere a Firenze dopo aver sconfitto la Repubblica. Machiavelli, che aveva servito la Repubblica, venne immediatamente licenziato dal suo incarico. Peggio ancora, venne accusato di congiura (complotto) contro i Medici e fu torturato. Dopo essere stato liberato, si ritirò nella sua piccola villa di campagna a Sant'Andrea in Percussina, vicino a Firenze. Era politicamente morto a soli 44 anni. Espressioni idiomatiche italiane: "Essere licenziato" = perdere il lavoro "Politicamente morto" = non avere più potere o influenza politica "Ritirarsi" = andare via, appartarsi La Nascita de "Il Principe": Un Capolavoro Nato dall'Esilio Fu proprio durante questo periodo di esilio forzato che Machiavelli scrisse la sua opera più famosa. In una lettera all'amico Francesco Vettori, descrive poeticamente la sua routine quotidiana: "La sera tornavo a casa, entravo nel mio studio e mi spogliavo di quella veste cotidiana, piena di fango e di loto. Mi vestivo di panni reali e curiali, e così vestito decorosamente entravo nelle antiche corti degli antichi uomini..." Questa citazione è molto importante per comprendere l'approccio di Machiavelli. Durante il giorno era un contadino che lavorava la terra, ma la sera si trasformava in un intellettuale che dialogava mentalmente con i grandi pensatori del passato. Analisi del testo: "Veste cotidiana" = vestiti di tutti i giorni "Fango e loto" = sporcizia del lavoro nei campi "Panni reali e curiali" = vestiti eleganti, da corte "Antiche corti degli antichi uomini" = il mondo dei grandi pensatori del passato Le Teorie Politiche Fondamentali de "Il Principe" "Il Principe" non è un romanzo o un'opera poetica. È un manuale pratico di politica, una specie di "how to" del Rinascimento. Machiavelli stabilisce regole precise per conquistare e mantenere il potere politico. La Doppia Natura del Principe Secondo Machiavelli, un buon principe deve saper utilizzare due nature: quella dell'uomo e quella della bestia. Come scrive nel capitolo XVIII: "Bisogna essere volpe per riconoscere le trappole e leone per spaventare i lupi." Questo significa che un leader deve essere: Astuto come una volpe = intelligente, capace di capire gli inganni Forte come un leone = coraggioso, capace di imporre rispetto Essere Temuti o Essere Amati? Una delle frasi più famose de "Il Principe" riguarda questa domanda fondamentale. Machiavelli scrive:

The Chancellor is back out on the road to start the government's re-launch week, ahead of the parliamentary recess.  In today's episode, Sky News' Sam Coates and Politico's Anne McElvoy explain how comments on a proposed wealth tax by Rachel Reeves' cabinet colleagues may have already put her in a tricky situation.   Elsewhere, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Windsor Castle will host U.S. President – Donald Trump – for a second unprecedented state visit in September. 

Was die Wall Street vor dem Opening bremst, sind die Androhungen einer deutlichen Ausweitung der Zölle gegen die wichtigsten US-Handelspartner. Am Samstag drohte Trump an, ab dem 1. August 30% Zölle auf Warenimporte aus Mexiko und die EU zu verhängen. Kanada drohen Zölle von 35%. Dies betrifft nicht die Bereiche, bei denen Sektorenzölle bereits verhängt wurden. Seit dem „Liberation Day” am 2. April wurden im Grunde keine Handelsabkommen final abgeschlossen. Das Abkommen mit England weist weiterhin große Lücken auf, und mit China befindet man sich weiterhin in Verhandlungen. Die Einigung mit Vietnam scheint auch auf dünnem Eis zu stehen. Zudem warnt Politico am Wochenende, dass der Glaube an dem TACO-Trade zu voreilig sein könnte. Dieses Mal meine es Trump ernst, und ein Zurückrudern sei unwahrscheinlicher geworden. Dass am Dienstag und Mittwoch die Verbraucher- und Erzeugerpreise gemeldet werden, dürfte an der Wall Street zum Wochenauftakt ebenfalls für Zurückhaltung sorgen. Was die Berichtssaison betrifft, ist die Wall Street vor allem bei den Banken optimistisch. Die Messlatte für den S&P 500 hängt mit einem erwarteten Ertragswachstum von nur rund 4% vs. der 12% im ersten Quartal ausgesprochen niedrig.

Was die Wall Street vor dem Opening bremst, sind die Androhungen einer deutlichen Ausweitung der Zölle gegen die wichtigsten US-Handelspartner. Am Samstag drohte Trump an, ab dem 1. August 30% Zölle auf Warenimporte aus Mexiko und die EU zu verhängen. Kanada drohen Zölle von 35%. Dies betrifft nicht die Bereiche, bei denen Sektorenzölle bereits verhängt wurden. Seit dem „Liberation Day” am 2. April wurden im Grunde keine Handelsabkommen final abgeschlossen. Das Abkommen mit England weist weiterhin große Lücken auf, und mit China befindet man sich weiterhin in Verhandlungen. Die Einigung mit Vietnam scheint auch auf dünnem Eis zu stehen. Zudem warnt Politico am Wochenende, dass der Glaube an dem TACO-Trade zu voreilig sein könnte. Dieses Mal meine es Trump ernst, und ein Zurückrudern sei unwahrscheinlicher geworden. Dass am Dienstag und Mittwoch die Verbraucher- und Erzeugerpreise gemeldet werden, dürfte an der Wall Street zum Wochenauftakt ebenfalls für Zurückhaltung sorgen. Was die Berichtssaison betrifft, ist die Wall Street vor allem bei den Banken optimistisch. Die Messlatte für den S&P 500 hängt mit einem erwarteten Ertragswachstum von nur rund 4% vs. der 12% im ersten Quartal ausgesprochen niedrig.

Donald Trump's foreign policy has been as unstable as the man himself, shifting quickly frompushes for restraint to escalating wars in the Middle East. This volatility is a function not just ofTrump's personality but the contradictions and competing factions that are gathered under theterm America First, as well as the continued power of the foreign policy establishment thatTrump has claimed he defeated but which maintains a strong capacity to shape policy. To talkabout Trump's foreign policy and the factional battles that have bedevilled his administration, Ispoke to Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. In particular we take up the attacks on Elbridge Colby, the under-secretary of defense forpolicy. Colby was the subject of a Politico hatchet job which claimed he was running a rogueforeign policy.

Nuclear power is enjoying a surge of bipartisan support in the U.S., fueled by rising energy demand and state climate goals. But despite the momentum, the industry itself may be nuclear's biggest obstacle — a challenge that could shape the future of America's power supply.

Hassan El-Tayyeb of the Friends Committee on National Legislation returns with an update on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the growing movement to end U.S. support for the assault. Then, Mackenzie Knight Boyle from the Federation of American Scientists walks us through the scale and secrecy of the U.S. nuclear weapons program — and the risks it poses to the world. Finally, constitutional scholar Bruce Fein joins us to call out the unchecked power and ethical failures of the Supreme Court.Hassan El-Tayyab is the lead lobbyist on Middle East policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation. Mr. El-Tayyab co-chairs the U.S. Ceasefire Coalition and leads the Friends Committee's work to end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, advocate for Palestinian human rights, and advance diplomacy with Iran.(The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) militarizes aid and is run by private armed contractors. It violates all these principles of neutrality, independence, impartiality. And we even saw the GHF's own executive director, Jake Wood, resign in protest in May, saying that he couldn't work in a way that didn't adhere to these humanitarian principles.Hassan El-TayyabMackenzie Knight-Boyle is a Senior Research Associate for the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, where she co-authors the Nuclear Notebook––an authoritative open-source estimate of global nuclear forces and trends.Probably the scariest false alarm was in 1979, A training cassette that was simulating a massive attack with nuclear missiles from the Soviet Union on the United States was mistakenly entered into the primary computer system of North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD. And it was then broadcast to other command centers as if it was going out in the National Command Authority alert system. And because of that, the proper procedures were followed for a situation like this, where the fighter jets took off. The nuclear bombers, carrying nuclear weapons, were put into the sky, missile crews were put on high alert, which means the missiles are ready to launch within seconds. And the president's doomsday plane, which is essentially the war room in the sky for the president in emergency situations, was also put into the air. And it took six minutes for them to realize that this was a training cassette that had been mistakenly put into the system.Mackenzie Knight-BoyleBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.There can be good faith disagreements over the interpretation of the Constitution. But when you have a course of action which so systematically shows a favoritism towards limitless executive power towards corporations as well with regard to money and politics, no longer does it seem to be a matter of good faith, a disagreement, but it's a matter of advancing the partisan political interests of the president, the presidency, and that is, I think, an impeachable offense.Bruce Fein (on impeaching Supreme Court justices)News 7/4/251. The New York City Board of Elections has released the final results in the Democratic Mayoral primary – after accounting for reallocation of votes via ranked-choice tabulations. The final results are stunning. Zohran Mamdani, up by approximately seven points on election night, has emerged with a whopping 12-point victory over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Perhaps even more impressive, Mamdani completely reshaped the electorate. According to the New York Times, he turned out young people in record numbers to the point that the largest voter bloc in this election was 18–29-year-olds, a complete reversal of usual trends.2. Speaking of reversing trends, it is worth reviewing Zohran's victory in light of the groups he won by large margins. Namely men, including young men of all backgrounds, as well as Latino and Asian voters, per Jacobin. These are groups that Democrats have notably lost ground with, including in New York City, and have devoted considerable resources to winning back to their coalition. Zohran's win therefore should give Democrats a new sense of optimism and they should seek to embrace the winning course that he has charted.3. Of course, being the Democratic Party, they are instead doing the opposite. Despite his earthquake victory, few high-profile New York Democrats have endorsed Zohran. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has not, nor has Governor Kathy Hochul, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or other powerful New York House Democrats like Gregory Meeks. The other U.S. Senator from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, has been openly hostile, calling Zohran “permissive [of] violence against Jews,” in an interview with Brian Lehrer on WNYC. This is of course racist, inflammatory and flatly untrue. Under pressure from other Democrats, Gillibrand retracted her statement, and “apologized for mischaracterizing Mamdani's record and for her tone on the call,” according to POLITICO. This however gives us a taste of the kind of dirty tricks and defamatory rhetoric the party could deploy against Mamdani between now and November.4. That said, Zohran is picking up significant backing locally – an indication that those actually on the ground know which way the wind is blowing. On Monday, Mamdani was endorsed by the NYC Central Labor Council-AFL-CIO. The NYCCLC is “the nation's largest regional labor federation…[bringing] together 300 unions… [and representing] more than 1 million workers.” On Tuesday, he won the endorsement of New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, who represents Westchester, according to reporter Vaughn Golden. Zohran has already earned the endorsement of New York Attorney General Tish James. Expect this divergence between national and local Democratic figures to continue.5. In stark contrast to Zohran, whose political brand is defined by seemingly endless energy, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman shocked observers this week when he complained about having to do the bare minimum as a U.S. Senator. According to Rolling Stone, during Senate deliberations on the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Fetterman was quoted saying “I just want to go home. I've missed our entire trip to the beach.” Fetterman's comments are particularly galling seeing as he has been chronically absent from Senate hearings, committee meetings and even votes. In other words, Fetterman is complaining about doing the bare minimum for the people of Pennsylvania, but is failing to do even that.6. The bill did of course pass, with Vice-President JD Vance voting to break a 50-50 tie vote in the Senate. On Twitter, Vance justified his vote from criticism regarding its massive cuts to Medicaid by saying “The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits. The OBBB fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass.” AOC called his vote, “An absolute and utter betrayal of working families.”7. In more news related to the bill, Trump and Elon Musk have been trading threats regarding its passage. On Monday, TIME reported Elon Musk tweeted, “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uni-party, so that the people actually have a voice.” Musk added, “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame…they will lose their primary next year, if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.” Musk has also reportedly thrown his financial weight behind Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, perhaps the most vocal critic of Trump in the House Republican caucus. Trump is already backing a primary challenge against Massie; Musk intervening on the other side has turned this race into a climactic proxy battle between the two figures once called “co-presidents.”8. Trump, for his part, threatened to deport Elon Musk. Asked about this directly, Trump told reporters, “We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies,” per USA Today. This is of course true. Musk's companies have received billions in corporate welfare from the federal government over the years. It is unclear how much the stock value of, for instance Tesla, would suffer from the money faucet being turned off.9. Entertaining as Trump's threats to deport Musk are however, we should not lose sight of the ever-darker reality of deportation setting in nationwide. NOLA.com reports “An Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for 47 years, has no criminal record, and is married to a US citizen was detained by ICE as she gardened outside her New Orleans home.” Expect to hear more stories of secret police rounding up law abiding Americans in the days to come.10. Finally, in more positive news, Reuters reports China is quietly moving to rebuild Cuba's energy grid. This report notes that “Officials…announced China was participating in a project to modernize Cuba's entire electrical grid, with 55 solar parks to be built in 2025, and another 37 by 2028, for a total of 2,000 MW - a massive undertaking that, when complete, would represent nearly two-thirds of present-day demand.” Cuba joined China's international infrastructure development program Belt and Road in 2018. This report notes that China is taking on the development role that Russia formerly played in Havana, but has been unable to deliver on since it embarked on its special military operation-turned-quagmire in Ukraine. Cuba's energy grid has experienced continue failures for the past several years for myriad reasons, exacerbated by Trump's increasingly draconian sanctions regime. This is just another example of a reality becoming increasingly clear to much of the world: the U.S. tears down developing countries' infrastructure, China helps build it up.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

WarRoom Battleground EP 802: POLITICO Confirms WarRoom Analysis — Election Of “Lefty Leo” Pope All About US Cash

The Senate passed President Donald Trump's spending bill on Tuesday after Vice President JD Vance arrived to break a 50-50 tie. The bill is now headed back to the House where Republican Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose three members and still pass the bill by a party line vote.
