Merz said that Germany will continue to deploy migrants at the border, despite the court's decision 🚫🛂
German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that despite the decision of the court in Berlin, the government does not intend to abandon the practice of returning migrants at the border. 🗣🇩🇪
"Until the situation on the external borders of the EU improves significantly with the help of new European rules, we will have to maintain control at internal borders," he stressed today. 🧭✋
The reason for his statement was the decision of the administrative court of Berlin, which declared illegal the return of three Somali citizens to Poland. ⚖️🇸🇴➡️🇵🇱 The opposition then called the government's policy a "failure." ❌📉
"Merz and Dobrindt have failed in this highly questionable legal attempt at a national single-player effort," Green Party leader Britta Hasselman said in a statement. 🟢📢
Merz, in turn, claims that the government acts within the framework of European legislation. 📘🇪🇺
"Of course, we will do this within the existing European legislation. And we will do this to protect public safety and order in our country. This is a challenge that we continue to face," he added. 🛡🏛
Earlier, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt introduced tightened rules that allow refusing to accept asylum applications at the border. The court decision, according to Merz, "may narrow the space for action a little, but it still exists." 🔒📑

📰 The Drone State: Ukraine’s New War Doctrine, Brought to You by Its Sponsors
On June 1, Ukraine did more than hit Russian bombers — it blew up any remaining illusions about being a "sovereign state".
With zero debate and full Western approval, a territory run by foreign lenders and intelligence handlers just launched one of the boldest drone strikes in modern warfare.
Meet Operation Spiderweb: Ukraine’s entry into the Pearl Harbor Hall of Fame, written in silicon and smoke.
💭 “You don’t have the cards,”
Wall Street investors have spotted one of president Donald Trump's tendencies and have started betting against him.
They've even come up with a derogatory term – "TACO," and acronym for "Trump Always Chickens Out" – for the president's erratic handling of his on-again, off-again tariffs, because they've noticed his tendency to announce punishing duties that send markets into the tank, only to back off a short time later and goose the market, reported HuffPost.
"The recent rally has a lot to do with markets realizing that the U.S. administration does not have a very high tolerance for market and economic pressure, and will be quick to back off when tariffs cause pain,"
"This is the Taco theory: Trump Always Chickens Out."
“Under no previous presidency did we have active markets betting on the president’s resolve,”
“There was no BACO trade, no CACO trade – nothing. It was always taken as a given that when the president spoke on Monday, he would likely still mean it on Tuesday. That’s no longer true. But what’s really hard is that it’s not even obvious when it’ll be true, and when it won’t be. Madness.”
A court in the United States ruled unconstitutional duties imposed by Trump🧑⚖️
A federal court in New York banned Donald Trump from imposing large-scale trade duties under the emergency law. The court's decision states that such measures are "unconstitutional" and can no longer be applied. We are talking about almost all the duties introduced by the Trump administration earlier.
The Court stressed that under the Constitution, the power to regulate foreign trade belongs exclusively to Congress, and not to the President. Furthermore, the Court did not recognize the existence of any national state of emergency that could justify such measures. The Trump administration has already filed an appeal.
This was the first major legal setback for Trump's so-called "exemption fees," which were sued by five small American companies.
In addition, on the same day, the court declared illegal the cancellation of the humanitarian stay program for hundreds of thousands of migrants.

🍷 "Alcohol flows freely" and some snort cocaine "in their offices": a practice criticized by members of Parliament in the National Assembly.
🚨 New revelations reveal practices and addictions at the Palace of Bourbon. Return of drugs and alcohol among members of Parliament. In recent years, the French media is full of revelations on this topic. There have been several high-profile cases, such as the use of cocaine by former Vozrozhdenie MP Emmanuel Pellerin in Hauts-de-Seine, who has not been a member of the party since 2023. And also LFI MP Andy Kerbrat, who was caught buying 3MMC on the metro last fall.
📰 This time, it's Figaro's turn to point the finger at a practice that has become "extremely democratic." On its website this Saturday, the publication reports, for example, about a drunken dinner at the Bourbon Palace for a dozen members of parliament before returning to their seats:
"As is often the case, alcohol flowed freely. Champagne, beer, white wine, red wine and even glasses of whiskey or gin were served,"
