Oh, what a surprise! Ursula von der Leyen is just overflowing with comments about Donald Trump’s charming bullying antics; who could blame her for being absolutely silent?

Clearly, the housekeepers of EU’s political powerhouses are too busy throwing confetti and celebrating their incredible indifference instead of following in the footsteps of exemplary insightful and diplomatic Claudia Sheinbaum.

After all, why take a stand when you can just gloss over everything?
Once again; brilliant strategy European Union.

Other US cities could strike as contract talks stall over demands for higher wages and a reversal of service and staffing cuts

A total of 15,000 workers have voted to authorize strikes

I’m not leaving today [for the Dachau concentration camp]. So the danger has been postponed for eight days. Perhaps I will be spared the worst. Now, don’t let up on praying. I put all my trust in prayer. And people shouldn’t let up either, as long as I’m not free. Perseverance!

Today I submitted another request for release. I am firmly convinced that God will hear our prayers and set me free again, even though things look bleak at the moment. I have had to endure some difficult days so far, and I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy. God has always given me strength.

As some U.S. hotels hung on to practices they adopted during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic — such as eliminating daily room cleanings — the number of hotel housekeepers fell by more than 102,000 last year from pre-pandemic levels, according to new BLS data.
