Trump at the G7. He is such a liability, we are all just wondering what stupidity he is going to pull this time.

I am pissed off about many of policy changes of Trump/Musk but money talks. Low income Americans including tons of MAGA voters are getting screwed to further reduce the tax burden on billionaires.

Cool that Tim Walz visited Philips. My alma mater, Eindhoven University of Technology and specially the physics department was heavily influenced by Philips and I still cheer for their PSV (Philips Sport Vereninging) soccer team every week.
As a global leader in medical technology, Philips understands the value of doing business in Minnesota.

I visited their headquarters in the Netherlands to learn how their recent expansion in Plymouth is supporting innovation and creating good-paying jobs.

The public relies on the President to deliver facts, not opinions, in moments like this. We need to let the NTSB conduct its investigation without any forced political agenda and take action based on those findings.

Can they take over the USA instead?

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

On this day 9 years ago the world came together to sign the groundbreaking Paris Climate Accords. Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US from that agreement was a disaster and his incoming administration has even more anti-planet plans. Will you stand with me against their pro-disaster agenda?

Skipping #abortionban years & a 2026 release for 2024 not political? I don't think so

Texas won't review maternal deaths for the two years after its abortion ban
Maternal health advocates had expected that the abortion bans would increase maternal deaths, as more women would carry pregnancies to term.

Killing time while my dear was showing the Dutchies how to swim hard @Nationaal Zwemcentrum De Tongelreep in Eindhoven. Ran into another Dutchy with American connections. He was kind enough to humor me for a pic! Go Serginio!
