Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

Op 13 februari 1969 werd op Apple records het debuutalbum ‘Postcards’ van Mary Hopkin uitgebracht. De productie was in handen van Paul McCartney. Op dit album staat ook ‘Those Were The Days’, dat al eerder op single was uitgebracht. youtu.be/JnxTT7XXMPA?...

Achtereenvolgende landbouw-ministers hebben tienduizenden omwonenden van geitenhouderijen blootgesteld aan risico op longkanker, door telkens “extra onderzoek” aan te vragen. Nu is er zóveel onderzoek, steeds zelfde resultaat, dat Femke Wiersma het niet kon negeren. Maar dat deed ze toch. Lubach.

At the next European Council, I will come with a ‘One Europe, One Market’ roadmap, across these five blocks.
With concrete targets, with precise timelines.
And with very concrete proposals that we can deliver on, and fast, in 2026.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

"It's not about the messaging, it's literary about the rules and regulations".
Well, IOC, just change the rules and regulations then, and bring them in line with morality and common sense.
And reverse course and let this athlete compete.
It's not that hard.

Russia is not winning this war.
Its casualty rates are surging, and its economy is struggling.
Today, Ministers will discuss how we can further support Ukraine.
On the table are proposals to establish two training facilities inside Ukraine and to mobilise additional private capital.

'Radicale denkbeelden' is al een eufemisme van zulke handschoentjes.
Ik lees in meerdere columns dat Jutta Leerdam zoveel kritiek krijgt en hoe onterecht dat is.
Ik vind eerlijk gezegd dat ze met fluwelen handschoentjes wordt behandeld. Er is geen journalist die durft te vragen: wat vind je van de radicale denkbeelden van je verloofde?
