Rob Jetten denkt dat zijn positieve manier van campagne voeren aanslaat. Als dat zo is, is dat wel schokkend want hij schuurt tegen PVV aan en laat zijn klimaatambities gedeeltelijk varen @pauwendewit.bsky.social

Wij zijn de kampioen wonen. We trekken er massaal geld voor uit en we stellen woningcorporaties in staat om weer mooie, betaalbare woningen te bouwen.

Bouwen zit in ons DNA. We hebben het 100 jaar geleden gedaan. Nu kunnen we het weer. Aan de slag voor de sociale meerderheid!

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

Hey American farmers, Trump just doubled Argentina's bailout from $20 billion to $40 billion.

That's the same Argentina that, because of Trump's tariffs, has now supplanted ALL of America's soybean sales to China.

Trump sold you out – then gave the guy who benefited an extra $40 billion gift.

Israel returned the bodies of 45 Palestinians, all marked with numbers rather than names.

The bodies reportedly arrived with their hands and legs cuffed. Some were still blindfolded. Some had been shot. Others appear to have been run over by tanks.

Bodies of 45 deceased Palestinians transferred from Israel to Gaza remain unidentified, Nasser hospital says

A bombshell report detailing racist and antisemitic texts shared among Young Republicans lifted the veil on how the next generation of GOP leaders talk when they think no one is watching.

Unsurprisingly, prominent conservatives defended the participants.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
