De 28 beoogde bewindspersonen voor het kabinet-Jetten bestaan uit 14 vrouwen en 14 mannen. Maar als je alleen naar de ministers kijkt, zijn de mannen ruim in de meerderheid - 11 mannen tegen 7 vrouwen.

Wie beschermt de kiezer tegen extremistische kandidaten?
Extremistische kandidaten op de kieslijst voelen als een zwakte van de democratie. Maar wat zegt die weerzin eigenlijk over hoe weerbaar ons stelsel is?

Washington is pushing Ukraine and Russia to reach a deal to end Moscow’s war on Kyiv by June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said yesterday. But with U.S. elections looming this fall, "let's not be naive" about U.S. priorities, he added.
Pressure for Ukraine-Russia deal mounts ahead of fall elections in US
As Kyiv continues to suffer nighttime lows of minus 20 Celsius amid Russian strikes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says 2026 U.S. midterms are now the strongest driver for a peace deal.

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.

Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

De zelfvoldane arrogantie om een extreemrechts kabinet aan de macht te helpen, een spoor van ellende achter te laten, en daarna lekker aan de slag alsof je nergens verantwoordelijk voor bent.
Alleen de VVD kan dat.

Why do people report that Trump has shut down the Kennedy Center “for two years”?

What has he DONE: Shut it down.

What has he PROMISED: To reopen it in 2 years.

What is REPORTED: The promise.

What do we KNOW: Trump always lies.

Exactly! Trump clan smells money from 100s of miles away.
Congress appropriated $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center before Trump shut it down. Follow that money and see where it goes.

A reminder that those who took for granted that Trump victory would be the end of Ukraine were wrong. Ukraine continues to hold Ru off despite the fact that Trump ended US aid. Ukraine has innovated and developed its military capacity, Europe has stepped up, and Ru is weaker than many assume.

As Ukraine burns, Trump displays a White House photo with Putin during an active war. The image pairs a convicted U.S. president with a leader under ICC warrant, signaling proximity as allies question U.S. reliability.
