Increased Spending on Social Assistance
====================================================
In the United States, the federal district attorney general has taken a legal stand against the government's intervention in the Washington police force, deeming it illegal. This action follows the controversial move of placing the Washington police under federal command. However, it seems that Washington itself has not initiated a lawsuit over this matter. Instead, a Texas law enforcement officer's TikTok video, which joked about giving out tickets after not getting "cracked," led to an internal investigation, highlighting contemporary tensions around police conduct and social media use [2].
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the Left party in Germany has proposed a special tax on luxury villas, with party leader Jan van Aken expressing concerns about inequality in society. Yet, the details of this policy remain unspecified [3].
On a lighter note, East Germans on TikTok are being portrayed in a cultural and community-focused light. A popular video promoting Festival 2025 at Bärwalder See, which celebrates East German culture and community, suggests a positive and festive portrayal rather than a negative or stereotypical one [1]. Despite this, the trend on TikTok does give the impression that East Germans live in prefabricated buildings and drive old cars.
Lastly, Jan van Aken has proposed a new policy, the details of which are still uncertain. The US government's intervention in the Washington police is currently being challenged in court, with the federal district attorney general leading the opposition.
