“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

No surprise that despite majority community support we still don’t have a ban on gambling advertising when the Albanese government accepts money from companies like Sportsbet for their fundraising.

When will they put Australians ahead of gambling companies?

High-profile prisoners like popular political leader Marwan Barghouti will remain in Israeli custody, as will the bodies of Hamas leaders Yahya and Mohammad Sinwar.

Israel is not withdrawing fully from Gaza, as Hamas has always demanded.”

“Hamas is trusting Trump to keep the peace, a major gamble if he is not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and loses interest again.

The militant group is also accepting the deal without major concessions from Israel.

Hamas is trusting Trump as his 'eternal peace' in Gaza turns into a shaky ceasefire

With Israel and Hamas not sticking to Donald Trump's proposed "20-point plan", the deal to bring "eternal peace" in the Middle East looks more like a temporary ceasefire.

Rep. Jamie Raskin nails it.

“It is not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not to swear in our new colleague Adelita Grijalva who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files.

"So it’s convenient for them to shut the government down."
