Honestly, it blows my mind that Filch isn’t fired after how he worked with Umbridge to severely repress the students, and he’s willing to get whips to use on Fred and George right before they leave the school. I just don’t understand why Dumbledore doesn’t fire Filch after he gets back. I guess the only explanation is he has more important things to do?
A Royal Proclamation has been decreed by the Regent Elizabeth Hohenzollern of Brandenburg, with the approval of the ruling council of nobles:
To prevent the undermining of the rule of the Electorate, to avenge the trespasses against us, and to promote the common good of our subjects, it is hereby decreed that all the cities in the areas of Brandenburg that have been brought under order abide by the same laws as all others, uniformly as it applies to the matter of the Hanseatic league and of allegiance. To this end, all cities and towns within the realm of Brandenburg must reaffirm an oath of loyalty to house Hohenzollern, and must withdraw as members cities of the Hanseatic league. Each city and town will retain its kontor, but it shall be owned by individual merchants or businesses. This will additionally serve as punishment for Hanseatic moves in supporting our enemies. Similarly, in the city of Stettin, English traders have been awarded the sole right to trade in rye for 20 years.
Upon complying with this decree, towns and cities devastated by the recent war shall be granted coin from the crown to aid in the rebuilding process. For major cities and towns, the real victims of the war, funds can be requested based on appraisals conducted jointly by civil servants of the city councils, and electorate bureaucrats answerable to the crown to determine the proper amount of coin. For rural areas affected by the war and the march of the army, funds shall be distributed to church parishes in order to more effectively parcel out aid.
In total, the amount spend thus far on the rebuilding of Brandenburger Pomerania will be 150,000 Florins.
Liz Cheney was removed today from her leadership role via a closed door voice vote. She was booted from position given her refusal to back down her criticism against Trump and the “big lie”.
What does this say about the modern day Republican Party? What role will non-Trump supporters have in the party moving forward? Will they have a role? What should we take that this was done via a secret vote? What are potential short and long term consequences of this decision?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
