SueEllenTrinktWieder wrote that she survived as a Russian bot on X and broadcasts on all frequencies. She is online daily, except when the news is on. Addressing potential listeners, she said she can offer hate, incitement, and malice, and assured them in the end that they are not alone. #Russenbot #Überleben #Einsamkeit (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Bärbel Bas is stepping down as co-chair of the SPD and as Minister of Labor. In her letter to the party, Bas mentioned the death of her stepdaughter and explained that she needs time to grieve. At the same time, according to Laska, she wrote that public attacks on her have intensified during this time – even from within the ranks of the coalition partner. According to Laska, Bas has been held responsible for problems within the coalition, including an overly expensive pension, too lenient citizen's income, and a weak economy. The author wrote that political criticism can be tough, but there is a line where it becomes malicious. If a minister refers to her own coalition upon resigning, someone in the Chancellery should take notice, she said. Bas retains her parliamentary mandate and hopes to be able to work with full strength again soon, wrote Laska. She expressed her condolences to Bas. #Politik #SPD #Trauer (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn criticized that the ZDF and a journalists' association had complained about Siegmund's reaction to a representative of the "heute-show." At the same time, he asked why they did not complain about Jan Böhmermann, who, according to his account, had reenacted Siegmund's murder in a show. Barghoorn dismissed the complaints in a mocking tone. #ZDF #Heuteshow #Böhmermann (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and stated that both sides had agreed. According to her, Volodymyr Zelensky initially had no knowledge of this. Later, he said the report was new to him, but Ukraine was ready to cease attacks on Russian energy facilities, provided that Russia would no longer attack Ukrainian power plants. Laska wrote that there was no initial confirmation from the Kremlin, and Russian attacks continued. According to Ukrainian sources, among others, power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv were hit. She also referred to Trump's earlier claim from September 14 that both sides had agreed to spare energy facilities; however, a sustainable ceasefire did not emerge from that. The author placed the announcement within a series of Trump's statements: on Friday, he announced a diesel deal with Putin and a US waiver for Russian diesel deliveries; on Saturday, he said Ukraine needed a new president; and on Sunday, he declared a ceasefire, to which this president allegedly agreed. Laska described this as contradictory since Zelensky had simultaneously been portrayed by Trump as a potential negotiating partner, even though he was unaware of the agreement. Furthermore, Laska wrote that seven US senators - four Republicans and three Democrats - legally challenged Trump's diesel deal with Putin. They accused the government of not involving Congress as required and demanded the withdrawal of the deal. While the US Treasury had issued a license, its sufficient legal basis was disputed. In a satirical scene, Laska imagined Trump reacting by putting down his phone, splattering a freshly painted wall while drinking, and possibly firing the painter afterward. #Trump #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

"Do you want to go somewhere else? Then say it." Looking at the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt, CSU chief Markus Söder called on dissenters within the Union to leave. "Anyone who votes for the AfD does not have much of a future with us." Söder suggested that this probably stemmed from a deep wound within the CDU faction. After these events, Söder would find it "surprising" if the AfD did not also lead the government in the state. "It would be absolutely necessary. The voters in Saxony-Anhalt have already made a very clear statement." "Given the results, you can't say that. I just think that anyone considering doing something like that should have the backbone to make it public." "Also immediately move in the political direction." "Because I find that quite despicable." "Therefore, everyone who is playing with fire (...), should know that in the end it will probably lead to extreme AfD dominance, that the polls will turn into results." "If the second democratic government fails within a few years after the traffic light coalition, it would be a huge blow to democracy." "I appreciate him, I respect him, and I also find that very unfair." "Friedrich Merz remains Chancellor." CSU chief Markus Söder has again backed Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and campaigned for the CSU politician Ilse Aigner as Federal President. "The only personnel matter that personally interests me is not the chancellorship, but I would like Ilse Aigner to become Federal President if at all possible. I am very committed to that." #CSU #CDU #Politik (translated)

Anna Schneider asked why someone should remain in a party if they are apparently ashamed of its core principles and reform promises under the slogan "CDU pur." She also questioned why voters should re-elect such individuals instead of voting directly for the SPD. https://t.co/Bt1JojfiSQ https://t.co/FBmezcjv0P #Politik #Wahlen #Parteien (translated)

The author wrote that a standalone bungalow from the 1980s with a full basement and 800 square meters of land had initially been offered for 680,000 euros in his street and remained online for one to two years. The most recent asking price was 500,000 euros. A young family with children would have had to extensively renovate and expand the house, which would have incurred an additional cost of around 300,000 euros. With a total expenditure of 800,000 euros, he believed the purchase was neither market-oriented nor affordable. He therefore told his wife that it was unlikely such a family would move in. A few weeks ago, the house was sold to a childless couple in their early 50s who only wanted to renovate and not remodel. The author suggested that the market for single-family homes is still being supported by such examples, but the trend is clearly heading downward. He also mentioned older individuals or people who had inherited as possible buyers for the house. #Immobilienmarkt #Hausverkauf #Einfamilienhaus (translated)

The coach contradicted the criticism that Muslic had gambled again with his substitutions. He wrote that if no player could play a ball over two meters, the problem did not lie with the substitutions. At the same time, he questioned whether Muslic's substitutions against Union had not been good. #Fußball #Transfers #Sportdiskussion (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)

A rice citizen wrote that Merz wants to clarify a secret election in Saxony-Anhalt. At the same time, a constitutional judge claims he wants to determine the next election in advance through a cease-and-desist declaration. The result is therefore already predetermined before the vote, she wrote, adding that this sounds familiar to her. The AfD is allegedly being portrayed as a danger to the free democratic basic order. https://t.co/USV7kvOnOS #SachsenAnhalt #Wahlen #Politik (translated)

Before the game, we clearly discussed what Bayern's kickoff tactic is. After the game, Fellhauer revealed in the mixed zone: "We clearly discussed what Bayern's kickoff tactic is. That they play the ball back to Manuel Neuer and he hits the ball forward. And that's why my job in that case was not to let myself be blocked by Alphonso Davies, but to somehow run through and prevent the goalkeeper from playing the ball under control. In that case, it worked out really well." (translated)

I find that absolutely absurd. This is a leader who leads the way. Yes, he is somewhat the face, if you will, of a team that has not been very successful in tournaments in recent years. But Joshua Kimmich is for me an outstanding German player and we should be glad to have such a player in our ranks! Bayern's sports director Max Eberl (53) now makes it very clear regarding the discussion: "I find that absolutely absurd. This is a leader who leads the way. Yes, he is somewhat the face, if you will, of a team that has not been very successful in tournaments in recent years. But Joshua Kimmich is for me an outstanding German player and we should be glad to have such a player in our ranks!" #Kimmich #DFB #Bayern (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

Anna asked whether a diesel agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could have been made before its announcement. She wrote that the tanker Minerva Zen left Saint Petersburg on September 22 – 17 days before Trump's announcement. The ship, sailing under the Greek flag, had an undisclosed destination since its departure and was supposed to reach the US East Coast on October 11 or 12, according to data from Windward and Vortexa, a week after the House of Representatives voted for the Graham sanctions law. The route is documented, but the cargo is not, Anna wrote. Shipping papers are not available; estimates range from 230,000 to 300,000 barrels of diesel. Shipping analyst Michelle Wiese Bockmann could not say whether the ship had been redirected after Trump's announcement or whether an agreement had already existed before. Anna also pointed out that the US Treasury Department had issued General License No. 135 less than 24 hours before the report, allowing the import of Russian diesel until April 2027. She related the issuance on Thursday, a phone call on Friday, and the departure of the tanker on September 22, stating that the timing seemed unusual. While Kyiv had urged Congress to implement the Graham law, Washington could have already planned differently, according to her account. She cited Windward and Vortexa, quoted by Nasha Niva, as well as UkrMedia and NPR. #DieselDeal #Trump #Putin (translated)

"That has somehow been lost after the strong last second half of the season." Former striker and Sky expert Fabian Klos (38/Bielefeld): "Dresden is well advised not to wait until the second half of the season again. The responsible parties know that. They will not want to let it come to that." Again, Fabian Klos: "Dresden is well advised not to wait until the second half of the season again. The responsible parties know that. They will not want to let it come to that." #DynamoDresden #2Bundesliga #Krise (translated)

Lexa reported that Donald Trump demanded a new Ukrainian leadership in front of the White House that is ready and able to reach an agreement. Trump accused the current leadership of not having made possible agreements and stated that under his presidency, the war would not have broken out. He attributed the war to incompetence and said that Ukraine had lost 30 percent of its land and more than a million people had been killed. In total, more than two million people on both sides have died. Trump demanded that Ukraine should get a new president. https://t.co/gPmgr6noHA #Ukraine #Trump #Führung (translated)
