Die Haselkätzchenblüten sind heute Nacht erfroren, viele Krokusse auch. Meine botanischen Wildkrokusse halten sich tapfer. Morgen früh wird es -5 Grad, alles ist zu trocken. Es fehlt der Regen, Sonne die ganze Woche scheinbar. Kübelpflanzen können auch im Winter vertrocknen. Regentonnen noch knapp halb gefüllt. Für die #Wildbienen blüht hier zu wenig wegen Frost. #Garten #Frost #Trockenheit
Ok so this one is more frost than ice. It looks like a little gingerbread girl, doesn't it? Iced around the edges.

Anfang nächster Woche erreicht uns ein neuer Schwung polarer Kaltluft. So gibt es unter Hochdruckeinfluss nochmal einige ziemlich kalte Nächte mit v.a. nach Osten und Süden hin wohl auch mäßigem #Frost. /LD

Democrats’ current messaging strategy isn’t working
One more focused on Musk and the threat his work poses to the lives of everyday Americans might be better.
Some Democrats have already begun this pivot
— emphasizing Musk’s access to everyday Americans’ personal data and potential meddling with entitlements like Medicare and Social Security in order to rip them off.
It’s the message that some progressives in particular have been using,
including when they rallied outside the Treasury Department last week, after news broke that the DOGE team was seeking control of the government’s system for issuing payments.
“An unelected billionaire and his team have been given full and unfettered access to our taxpayer money and our government,”
-- Rep. #Maxwell #Alejandro #Frost shouted at a February 4 protest.
“The fact an unelected billionaire has access to all your private information is a problem … [access to] Social Security Numbers, the federal payment system, which means he’s calling the shots over our taxpayer money.”
And it’s how Sen. #Elizabeth #Warren has been talking about DOGE’s infiltration of the CFPB over the weekend:
“For every American who doesn’t want some weird Elon Musk suck-up searching through your personal private data, this is your fight,”
she said at a protest at the CFPB building on Monday.
“Elon Musk is trying to shut down the CFPB so Wall Street can cheat and scam you as much as they want.”

Sternenklare, windschwache Nächte sind zu dieser Jahreszeit noch ziemlich kalt - oft gibt es #Frost - Ausnahme sind die hochnebelartig bewölkten Regionen im Norden/Nordosten des Landes (für Details und zum Ablesen in die Länder und Kreise).

Outcry as DC US attorney claims he and colleagues are ‘President Trump’s lawyers’
The interim US attorney for Washington DC #Ed #Martin has explicitly declared himself and other federal attorneys to be 
the president’s lawyers
-- rather than an independent, law-abiding officer sworn to uphold the constitution.
“As President Trumps’ [sic] lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our President and we are vigilant in standing against entities like the AP that refuse to put America first,” the US attorney’s office posted in a image on X, signed by Martin.
The statement directly contradicts the federal oath of office Martin swore, which requires attorneys to 
“conduct myself uprightly and according to law” and “support the constitution of the United States” – with no mention of personal loyalty to any president.
This post follows a pattern of controversial actions by Martin,
who recently promised the billionaire #Elon #Musk he would “pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work” related to Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency”.
Without filing any charges, Martin claimed his office had evidence people “committed acts that appear to violate the law” against Musk’s initiative.
Some congressional Democrats immediately condemned Martin’s statement.
The Florida congressman 
#Maxwell #Frost called for Martin’s resignation,
writing: “US attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers.”
The Virginia congressman 
#Don #Beyer posted: “Washingtonians deserve federal law enforcement who will protect their rights
--without violating the constitution, and focus on fighting crime rather than trying to censor the free press and political opponents. Basic understanding of punctuation would be nice, also.”
The justice department has historically maintained independence from White House influence to ensure equal application of the law.
Martin’s office did not respond to a request for comment on how his declaration aligns with this tradition or his sworn constitutional duties.
