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Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

"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.

Weer Engelstalige citaten op NL @npoluister.bsky.social zonder vertaling. “We verstaan toch allemaal Engels?”
Nou, dan kunnen we inderdaad de #NPO wel wegbezuinigen.
Zouden ze dat ook met Chinees doen?

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?

I welcome the @Europarl_EN speedy adoption of our proposal for an additional €90 billion loan for Ukraine.
Ukraine's courage is unshakable.
And so is Europe's resolve to stand by its side.
Today and tomorrow!
Because a strong Ukraine makes all of Europe safer.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.
