As Chair of the @EP_Justice Committee’s Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights Monitoring Group (DRFMG), I deeply regret that the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia remains unpunished, almost nine years after the car bombing of October 2017. #Malta #JusticeForDaphne #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #MT

Hvor højt tror du staten er parat til at lade topskatten stige til? The Kennedy Tax Cuts of 1963–1964 In early 1963, the top marginal individual income tax rate in the United States stood at an extraordinary 91 percent—a legacy of the exceptionally high tax rates established during and after World War II. President John F. Kennedy proposed a sweeping tax overhaul, arguing that excessively high marginal rates were holding back private investment, risk-taking, employment, and economic growth. His original proposal would have reduced individual income tax rates across the board, lowering them from a range of 20–91 percent to 14–65 percent. It also called for reductions in corporate tax rates and stronger incentives for investment. Kennedy’s administration explicitly argued that lower tax rates would stimulate private economic activity, increase investment, and expand production and employment. The goal was not simply to reduce taxes, but to remove what Kennedy called the “heavy drag” that the existing tax system placed on private initiative. (Fraser) The proposal faced substantial opposition in Congress, particularly because of concerns about its fiscal implications and accompanying tax reforms. Nevertheless, the business community and many economic organizations strongly supported the central idea of substantial rate reductions. (Fraser) Kennedy did not live to see his proposal enacted. After his assassination in November 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson made passage of the legislation a priority. The final measure, the Revenue Act of 1964, reduced the top marginal tax rate from 91 percent to 70 percent and substantially lowered individual and corporate tax rates. (Fraser) The economy subsequently entered a powerful and sustained expansion. Contemporary economic analyses attributed a significant portion of the improvement in production, employment, investment, and tax revenues to the cuts, although monetary policy and other factors also contributed.

RUSSIA IS WAGING REAL WAR AGAINST EUROPE. Stop minimizing it with the comfortable word “hybrid.” Explosive drones near Leipzig/Halle. Assassination plots against European defence leaders. Sabotage on European soil. Cyberattacks against critical infrastructure. Drone incursions. https://t.co/PcnuEqCEj9 #Russia #War #Cybersecurity #RU #EU
Ranucci: thanks to those who show me signs of solidarity, affection, closeness, in these two months of over two thousand articles that belong to a character assassination that has no precedent in the history of our country, perhaps even at a global level... (translated)
Extraordinary investigation by Rohit Kachroo. The UAE funded a mercenary who ran surveillance on a British activist in London, and one source involved tells ITV News he believes it was an assassination plot. #RohitKachroo #UAE #AssassinationPlot #UAE #GB
I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night.
It's possible that the assassination of Ali Khamenei will turn out to be the single stupidest decision in the history of the United States. @VP #Khamenei #Assassination #USPolitics #US

L'intervista di Salvini al "Corriere" è bellissima. Nonostante anni di continua character assassination (e domandiamoci perché 🙄) è ancora lui il leader di riferimento se si vuol avere il coraggio di andare oltre gli schemi abituali. https://t.co/u7Szb39UrX #Salvini #politica #leadership

Putins Killers tried to assassinate the CEO of @DonaustahlGmbH a German Drone company of @StefanThumann Germany it’s time to fight back. #Putin #Assassination #FightBack #DE
And now also tried to assassinate @StefanThumann, CEO of @DonaustahlGmbH. But don’t worry, nothing to see here. The German government can just rebrand ‘assassination’ to ‘hybrid murder’ and let the story fade away til the next attack. #Assassination #HybridMurder #DonaustahlGmbH #DE
German intel foiled a Russian plot to assassinate Stefan Thumann, CEO of drone firm Donaustahl. This fits the pattern I’ve tracked for years: Moscow’s black lists are hardening into operational hit and increasingly kill lists targeting European defense leaders.
