Matthias Fuchs wrote that the attack on Russian data centers causes numerous AfD accounts to disappear. At the same time, he believes that the topic of counter-propaganda is on nobody's agenda in Germany. A hostile power is disrupting the public discourse, without anyone caring about it, he stated. #Propaganda #Deutschland #Datenpolitik (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the current numbers from Audi and VW have overtaken the debate about the cut of 50,000, 100,000, or 150,000 jobs. For both companies, it has now become about their own survival. The decline is happening faster than the corporations can react, and it is costing companies of this size a lot of money, he explained. The unions can no longer demand anything but can only pray, Boeminghaus wrote. #Automobilindustrie #Arbeitsplätze #Wirtschaft (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Audi delivered 314,905 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, which is a 19.7 percent decrease compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter, the decline was still around 8 percent. In the first nine months, sales dropped by 11.4 percent to 1.04 million vehicles. The declines were particularly strong in China, with nearly 25 percent, and in the USA, with around 17 percent. Boeminghaus cited high competitive pressure, US tariffs, and model changes as burdens. In Germany and Europe, however, Audi recorded slight increases. Boeminghaus described the development as a significant slump and wrote that the first German car manufacturer is experiencing a "flow separation." He cited t-online and dpa-AFX from October 12, 2026, as sources. https://t.co/BspP4hRPpM #Automobilindustrie #Absatzkrise #Audi (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)

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)

Morlock No. 2 wrote that, according to his depiction, only the state and the arms industry benefit from German economic growth.
