Anna wrote that US media would exceed themselves in attacking Donald Trump and supporting Volodymyr Zelensky. She claimed that Zelensky is more popular than ever in the US, while Trump’s approval ratings continue to decline. According to her assessment, nearly every second post on X is directed against Trump – even on Elon Musk's platform. As an example, Anna mentioned Ben Meiselas, a lawyer and co-founder of MeidasTouch. He had warned that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may have committed a crime in connection with a diesel deal and referred to "criminal behavior." Meiselas explained in a video the laws that Bessent allegedly violated. Trump’s immunity does not apply to the Treasury Secretary, Anna wrote. She described the development against Trump as an avalanche that he himself triggered. #Trump #Selenskyj #Medien (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn ironically referred to the energy transition as a "masterpiece" and stated that instead of the promised cheap electricity, electricity prices are 16.4 percent higher than in 2021. He also pointed to billions in costs for grid bottlenecks and reserve power plants, battery storage that only lasts two hours at full capacity, and hydrogen, which has been considered a future technology for years. Barghoorn also criticized a new market created by the state, in which power plant operators would be paid for 15 years to provide electricity in case of outages from wind and solar power. He cited Blackout News as the source for the mentioned data. #Energiewende #Strompreise #Energiepolitik (translated)

Alex reported that a colleague bought Velux windows, a heat pump, drywall, and screed in Poland for the renovation of his house because the prices in Germany were too high for him. The Velux windows cost about half there; even the product description was in German. Alex asked why identical products were significantly more expensive in this country and wrote that the savings from shopping in the neighboring country raised questions about what was going wrong in Germany. He believed that if this development continued, even a working person here would soon be unable to afford anything. #Bauprojekte #PreiseVergleichen #Hausbau (translated)

Felix Perrefort reported that Tillschneider referred to Jewish culture as part of German culture when asked about the AfD's position on Jewish life in Saxony-Anhalt. He described it as deeply rooted for centuries and referenced evidence of Jewish communities since late antiquity. Furthermore, Tillschneider spoke of a German-Jewish cultural symbiosis and announced plans to hold conversations with representatives of the Jewish community. Perrefort wrote that Tillschneider's response had nothing to do with extremism or National Socialism. He believed that the accusations brought to the public by public broadcasting and government parties all the way to the Chancellery were lies. He also doubted that Steinmeier or Klingbeil would have responded similarly confidently and sympathetically, and without diversity clichés, and recommended the interview. #AfD #JüdischesLeben #Kultur (translated)

Dr. Bernd Baumann wrote that a political confrontation between two blocks is imminent. The SPD is moving towards collaboration with the Greens and forces he described as Islamist-left through its Berlin regional association. He interpreted this as a strategic withdrawal of the SPD from the Merz coalition and as the beginning of the next federal election campaign, which is oriented towards the successful camp election campaign of Schwesig. On the other hand, according to Baumann, the AfD is uniting citizens who demand an end to left-wing policies. The Union is being squeezed in between: it showcases its themes only to then negotiate again with left-wing parties. In this conflict, such a party is no longer needed, he wrote. #Politik #Bundestagswahl #SPD (translated)

The author wrote that this is happening in Germany right now. Baden-Württemberg has once again shown an "exclusion excess."

Furkan Yildirim asked why Wall Street professionals are currently preparing for a potential severe stock market crash, in his view, even though the S&P 500 is just below its record. He cited data such as the Skew Index and pointed out that hedge funds are positioned defensively according to Goldman Sachs as they have been for years. In six weeks, S&P 500 futures worth $63.7 billion have been sold; at the same time, there are record bets on falling prices for small US stocks. There is particular demand for protection against extreme cases. Yildirim announced a macro deep dive with 20 charts from Goldman Sachs, BofA, Deutsche Bank, and TS Lombard. In it, he wants to address market positioning, possible parallels to 1987, 1994, 2000, or 2023, three scenarios weighted by him, and possible consequences for gold and Bitcoin. He asked whether he should record the video on the same day. #Marktanalyse #Investment #Wirtschaft (translated)

Paul Ronzheimer reported that there was once again air defense in the center of Kyiv. Zelensky's advisors were shocked and speechless in light of the news from Washington: Trump is demanding a new president for Ukraine after the diesel deal with Putin. A close advisor of Zelensky told him that they had expected to come into focus again during the Midterm election campaign, but did not anticipate this development. According to Ronzheimer, there were numerous phone calls with European partners. The greatest concern was that Trump could actually end the intelligence cooperation. The US president is calling for an end to Ukrainian attacks on oil and gas facilities. #Ukraine #Kyiv #Trump (translated)

The author wrote that government spokesman Stefan Kornelius announced that Germany would stick to the sanctions against Russian oil despite the US importing Russian diesel.
