Als er een JA21-kabinet komt, moet er dan opnieuw een rechtsstatelijk basislijnakkoord opgesteld worden? En zegt deze legitieme vraag niet gelijk al dat een JA21-kabinet gewoonweg onacceptabel is?

European leaders will travel to Washington to discuss Putin's "peace plan". Nonsense visit. As if it is going to change anything. Europe needs one thing now: transfer all frozen assets to Ukraine. Anything else is just a show.

Mike Johnson's official bio says he has "two decades of previous experience in Constitutional law." Yet, when Trump threatens to execute Democratic members of Congress, he suddenly has no opinion.

This is what shameful cowardice does to someone like Johnson and it is how he will be remembered.
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.

There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.

So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.

De Raad van State zegt het onomwonden: het voorgenomen hoofddoekverbod voor boa’s schuurt met de Grondwet en raakt aan gelijke behandeling en vrijheid van godsdienst.

De werkelijke truc hier? Het misbruik van het woord neutraliteit om religieuze minderheden, lees vrouwen, rechten te ontnemen.
