By Svea Windwehr Germany is a leader in privacy and data protection, with many Germans being particularly sensitive to the processing of their personal data – owing to the country’s totalitarian history and the role of surveillance in both Nazi Germany and East Germany. So, it is disappointing that the German government is trying to push through Parliament, at record speed, a “security package” that would increase biometric surveillance at an unprecedented scale. The proposed measures contravene the government’s own coalition agreement, and undermine European law and the German constitution. In response to a knife-stabbing in the West-German town of…

Wisconsin’s Senate race between Republican Eric Hovde and incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) is now a tossup, according to the Cook Political Report (CPR). CPR shifted the race from “lean democrat” to “toss up” Tuesday as Hovde continues building momentum in the state Democrats had taken for granted just months ago.

Despite other public polling, CPS says private polling from both parties mirrors their own findings. The…
