Bij het RTL-debat wees Timmermans erop dat de VVD nieuwe kankermedicijnen uit het basispakket gaat houden. Yeşilgöz ontkende dit meteen.

Factcheck van de @volkskrant.nl: GL-PvdA heeft gelijk ✅

Door deze asociale zorgbezuiniging hebben straks alleen de rijkste mensen nog toegang tot de beste zorg.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

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,

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.

Vanavond ben ik even te zien bij @eenvandaag.nl (NPO1) vanaf 18.30, over de voordelen van het direct toelaten van asielzoekers op de arbeidsmarkt en waarom veel politici dat niet willen.

LA County heeft de noodtoestand afgekondigd, dit vanwege een federale overheid die de oorzaak is van de noodtoestand.

Laat dit even bezinken...

Lokale overheden voelen zich genoodzaakt hun bevolking te beschermen tegen hun eigen federale regering.

Dit hele verslag van @atrupar.com is weer adembenemend.

Trump wijst er bij speech ter nagedachtenis aan Charlie Kirk nog even fijntjes op dat hij wél een kogel ontweek. Skill issue.

Echt, zo dement als een dolfijn is ‘ie. Maar bij de NOS zal het hooguit terugkomen als ‘Trump hield toespraak’.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Here, the President of the United States says publicly that people on the left in America have “the devil’s ideology.” The devil’s ideology.

I don’t want to hear anyone on the right whine & complain anymore about “divisive/dangerous” language coming from the left. Not when you worship this guy. Ok?

Again, this is not what needs to be done. "Why are you breaking the law & violating the Constitution & your oath of office?" is the question. When he doesn't answer it, the next journalist needs to ask it, & then the next one, & the one after that. Stop giving him & John Thune free passes every day.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Y'days post: Populism and Economic Prosperity mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/10/popu...
We would expect populist governments to damage the economy. The evidence suggests that they do so in a big way. But we know from Brexit that the media typically nullifies the impact of this evidence on voters.
Populism and Economic Prosperity
Mainstream political parties normally claim that populist parties, if they ever got to power, would damage the economy. We have clear evid...

Trump has a very simple worldview: the Presidency is not a public office, it is his property. He can use it to satisfy his personal or partisan whims, or to enrich himself.

So here, he threatens to reorganize an international competition, cohosted by Mexico and Canada, to settle a vendetta.

@franciscovanjole.com heeft zonder meer een punt. Het fundamentele verschil is dat progressieve mensen weer de straat op willen én durven én een verhaal hebben.

Mensen overtuigen mensen. Mensen maken het verschil 💪😃👍

Over 'degrowth' en de jaren zestig moeten ze het nog eens worden. Maar dat de huidige ‘enge tijden’ vol autocraten schreeuwen om een sterk, gezamenlijk links antwoord staat voor de denkers van PvdA en GroenLinks buiten kijf.
