Spannend was Ihr da macht und so habe ich mir Eure Webseite angeschaut, auch weil Ihr auf Eure lange Firmengeschichte (stolz) hinweist.
Habe ich da was überlesen oder einfach nicht gefunden? Denn zur NS-Geschichte der Firma findet sich nicht wirklich etwas, vor allem kein Wort der Verantwortungsübernahme und Einordnung.
Vielleicht seid Ihr Euch da voll bewusst und aktiv, habt womöglich die Stolpersteinverlegung für Euren ehemaligen Prokuristen unterstützt, aber warum das hallende Schweigen auf der Webseite?
Isidor Blumenthal. Prokurist seit 1919!
1935 entlassen, weil er Jude war, die gesamte Familie wurde später ermordet:
"Die Familie Blumenthal wurde am 8. November 1941 zusammen mit 1004 anderen Juden in Waggons der Deutschen Reichsbahn gepfercht und über eine Strecke von 1.500 km ins Ghetto und Zwangsarbeitslager Minsk deportiert. Hier kam sie unter den unmenschlichen Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen um."
Oder etwas zu den Zwangsarbeitern?!

As House Democrats walked out of a closed-door briefing on Tuesday evening
over the United States’s military campaign against #Iran,
many expressed exasperation with the Trump administration
and said the president and his team ⚠️had not offered a sufficient justification for the attack on foreign soil.♦️“I just want to say I am more fearful than ever after this briefing
that we may be putting boots on the ground
and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have,”
said Sen. Richard #Blumenthal (D-Conn.)
after leaving the meeting
held by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Joint Chiefs chair Dan Caine.Blumenthal added, “I think the administration owes it to the American people
to have briefings not just for members of Congress,
but for the American public.”♦️In a social media video posted by Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.), the senator directly addressed those watching and said,
“It is so much worse than you thought.”
Warren added,
“You are right to be worried.
The Trump administration has no plan in Iran.
This illegal war is based on lies,
and it was launched without any imminent threat to our nation.
Donald Trump still hasn’t given a single clear reason for this war,
and he seems to have no plan for how to end it either.”♦️The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on Saturday
in what Donald Trump has described as “massive and ongoing.”
Iran’s longtime supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
was killed by U.S. and Israeli strikes,
as were several top figures in Khamenei’s regime.
Multiple U.S. service members have also died.Trump has since offered a series of contradictory statements to the media
about his administration’s plan moving forward.
The president and the administration said
they needed to counteract the threat Iran posed to the United States,
even though Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon
and the administration acknowledged it had
no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces.♦️During a Pentagon press conference,
#Hegseth said that the U.S. does not currently have troops in Iran,
but didn’t rule out the possibility of boots on the ground.
Hegseth also claimed that
“this is not a regime change war,”
despite the targeted attacks on the regime’s high command,
and later added:
“The regime did change.”♦️On Tuesday, Sen. Chris #Murphy (D-Conn) shared his reaction with reporters
following the briefing, and said,
“I’m more convinced now that this is going to be open ended and forever.”“This feels like a multi-trillion-dollar open-ended conflict
with a very confusing and constantly shifting set of goals,” said Murphy.
“They clearly seem fine with hard-line elements being in control of the country,
because they plan to permanently run air operations
in order to chase [Iran’s] missile-making capability, drone-making capability and nuclear capabilities.”

US Senators leaving a closed door military briefing appeared upset and shaken at the apparent news that the US may be planning to a land invasion of Iran involving US troops (not just Kurdish separatist).

"ICE has trained agents to break the constitution" -Sen. Blumenthal
The long, slow, nagging arm of justice is at least getting some helpful whistle blowers now and US Senator's are working to build consensus to impose reforms on ICE.

Six senators accused Deputy Attorney General #Todd #Blanche this week of having a "glaring" conflict of interest
when he shut down investigations into crypto companies, dealers and exchanges
and eliminated an enforcement team dedicated to looking for crypto-related fraud and money-laundering schemes.A letter written by Democratic Sens. Elizabeth #Warren, Dick #Durbin and Mazie #Hirono and signed by Sens. Sheldon #Whitehouse, Christopher #Coons and Richard #Blumenthal
cited a ProPublica investigation that revealed
👉Blanche owned at least $159,000 worth of crypto-related assets when he ordered an end to the work.Durbin, Hirono, Whitehouse, Coons and Blumenthal serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department.
The same senators previously sent a letter to Blanche raising concerns that his actions would help Donald Trump’s financial interests in cryptocurrency.
In their letter sent on Wednesday, they said Blanche’s actions appeared to violate the federal conflict of interest law.“Last year, we asked for the rationale behind your puzzling decision to scale back the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) cryptocurrency enforcement efforts and urged you to reconsider.
We write now in light of recent reporting that you held substantial amounts of cryptocurrency at the time you made this decision,” the senators wrote.
“At the very least, you had a glaring conflict of interest and should have recused yourself.”Blanche, the second-highest-ranking official at the Justice Department, signed an #ethics #agreement 💥in February promising to dump his cryptocurrency within 90 days of his confirmation and not to participate in any matter that could have a “direct and predictable effect on my financial interests in the virtual currency” until his bitcoin and other crypto-related products were sold.
❌But on April 7, before he divested, he issued a memo titled
“Ending Regulation by Prosecution”
-- that halted investigations launched under President Joe Biden. In the memo, Blanche condemned the Biden Justice Department’s tough approach toward crypto as “a reckless strategy of regulation by prosecution, which was ill conceived and poorly executed.”🆘The memo disbanded the agency’s National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, which had won several high-profile crypto-related convictions.
Blanche said the agency would instead target only the terrorists and drug traffickers who illicitly used crypto, not the platforms that hosted them.Days later, the six senators urged Blanche to reconsider, contending that his decision would otherwise help support sanctions evasion, drug trafficking, scams and child exploitation.
🔥In their latest letter, they said their concerns had been realized.
They cited an independent report that found there was a surge in illicit cryptocurrency activities in 2025,
including crimes tied to
#money #laundering and
#human #trafficking.
They also questioned Blanche’s reasons for the policy shift.
⚠️“Certainly, President Trump’s financial interests seem to have motivated some of his pardons of criminals convicted of cryptocurrency-related crimes,” their letter stated.
⚠️“But the fact that you held substantial amounts of cryptocurrency at the time you made this decision calls into question your own motivations"https://www.propublica.org/article/todd-blanche-crypto-conflict-senator-letter

Under questioning by senator Richard #Blumenthal, AG #PamBondi continued to refuse to discuss or disclose any conversations she had with #Trump in the lead up to the indictment of #JamesComey last month. Blumenthal noted that Bondi attended a dinner with Trump, the night before Comey was charged.
Bondi, rather than answering, chose to mischaracterize Biden’s actions during the investigations of his son. Then she got huffy about her “integrity” & began attacking Blumenthal’s military record.

#Blumenthal to #Noem: "Let me go to some of the expenditures that your department is making. $200 million for an ad campaign fawning over President #Trump's supposed accomplishments ... none of these expenditures are in your present #budget ... you're just spending recklessly and it would seem wastefully without authorization. That's against the law."

There was a lot of people here today. I can't find a news report for estimated number, but people showed up despite a raw, cold rain.
My only gripe? They didn't have good equipment--no one in the back heard a word, least of all me with my bad hearing!

MEANWHILE, his #OrangeFuhrer told every agent who worked on the #Jan6 #terrorist attack to RESIGN OR BE FIRED BY MONDAY. #DonaldTrumpIsATerrorist
So #Patel doesn't NEED to seek retribution against his own agents when his boss is already doing it FOR him. 😒

On Monday, the Senate armed services committee approved Pete #Hegseth’s nomination,
But he awaits confirmation by the full chamber.
In a joint statement, Elizabeth #Warren, Tim #Kaine, Mark #Kelly, Mazie #Hirono, Richard #Blumenthal, Tammy #Duckworth, Jeanne #Shaheen and Kirsten #Gillibrand
👉 demand meetings with Pete Hegseth before the full Senate votes on his confirmation:
The senator's joint statement reads:
"In a sworn statement under the penalty of perjury, a new report shows U.S. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth was ‘erratic and aggressive’ toward his second wife over many years, to the point that she feared for her safety.
The report also details repeated instances of his drinking alcohol in excess, including the need to be dragged out of a strip club while in uniform.
This affidavit is part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that has been documented through numerous public and private reports.
The affidavit also raises additional questions about the thoroughness of his FBI background check during a rushed confirmation process.
Despite repeated requests, Mr. Hegseth has refused to meet with the vast majority of Democratic members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
We request that Mr. Hegseth meet privately with every interested lawmaker on the committee before the Senate votes on his nomination
so that we can have frank discussions about the new information that has come to light.
It would be irresponsible and contrary to our constitutional duty for the Senate to vote to confirm this nomination before such meetings have occurred." -
