IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Reacting isn’t politics. Real leadership means having your own vision and relentlessly working to achieve it. New research confirms: chasing the far right only drags everyone into their corner.

Deloitte has been using AI to generate inaccurate reports and charged the government $440 000 for that.

We already know that qualifications are not needed in this Trump government (not having them seems preferable) but handing a top position to a 19-year-old with zero experience? This is taking another step in nepotism.
Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

It’s so transparent, yet history proves it works: paint your ‘enemy’ as criminals and the root of all evil. Repeat it endlessly. Then you "must" intervene against the problem you invented. The perfect excuse to erase opposition. Sound familiar? The playbook never changes, only the names do.

Het is blijkbaar het moment om allemaal ballonnetjes op te laten, het ene al wat belachelijker dan het andere. Maar voorlopig spant de MR wel de kroon.
MR wil goedkopere tabak en alcohol
Omdat veel Belgen hun tabak en alcohol in het buitenland kopen, wil de MR de accijnzen en BTW op die producten verlagen. Dat zou uiteindelijk leiden tot hogere inkomsten voor de staat, denkt de partij. Het is een opmerkelijk voorstel dat lijnrecht ingaat tegen het beleid van de voorbije jaren, én tegen de aanbevelingen van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie.

Only silver lining in this dumpster fire? The generals seem to find his ideas as stupid as the rest of us. At least some people in the US still have a grip on reality.

One clown declares that war crimes are ok for soldiers, while the other tells generals they’ll need to wage war against Democrats. Welcome to the brink of civil war.
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

So now war crimes are ok and soldiers can do as they please? The U.S. is barreling toward full-blown authoritarianism at breakneck speed—and no one is hitting the brakes.

Another step toward authoritarianism in the U.S.: seizing control of the most popular social network. When you dominate the narrative, you erase debate. Democracy dies in silence, one algorithm at a time.
