America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Mijn dierbaar Europa,
Het is tijd om de bEUk erin te gooien. En de agenda van Trump te breken, vóórdat die ons breekt. Met Ruttiaans slijmen stuur je de agenda van Trump niet bij.
Our window of opportunity is closing. Act now, please.

A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis sparked by Trump over Greenland. Danes told me that the US can already do whatever it wants on the island.
Their conclusion: Trump just wants the U.S. to look larger on a map

Russia once again attacked Ukraine at night, with around 300 UAVs and up to 10 ballistic missiles, focusing the main strike on Kyiv. Hits were recorded in Chernihiv, Vyshhorod, Kharkiv, and the capital, where a private hospital was damaged. 1 person was killed, four more got wounded.

En zoals de Republicans verantwoordelijk zijn voor wat ze Trump laten aanrichten, zo is de VVD verantwoordelijk voor haar.

Ik geloof eerlijk gezegd niet eens dat zij überhaupt woede of verdriet voelt. Niet hierover. Zij heeft alleen emoties over wat haar zelf overkomt. Verder heeft ze geen emoties. GEEN. Alleen de vraag: wat kan ik hiermee voor de bühne ?

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Vergeleken met de winters van vroeger, ligt er nauwelijks noemenswaardige sneeuw en overal is goed gestrooid.

I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.
The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)
