Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

Veel mensen met een beperking wonen graag bij Fokus; zelfstandig als dat kan, hulp als het nodig is.

Intimidatie en onveiligheid zijn onacceptabel. Toch maken te veel bewoners dit mee.

Tijd dat de staatssecretaris regie pakt. Je woonplek hoort veilig en fijn te zijn!

15 years ago tonight was the last time I spoke with one of my best friends. She was murdered two days later by her ex-boyfriend.

This anniversary has been really hard, but tonight I walked outside to see three Manhattan buildings lit up in her favorite colors and it made me smile.

Love you, Jenni.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Geweldig nieuws: Mikael en zijn moeder mogen blijven! Het heeft veel te lang, onmenselijk lang, geduurd om te bepalen dat een kind hier geboren niets in Armenië te zoeken heeft.

We live in a beautiful park that includes this Ginkgo biloba. It is also known as the maidenhair tree because its fan-shaped leaves resemble the delicate leaflets of the maidenhair fern.

No idea why someone decided to prune it like this.

I love coffee, so I don't like Starbucks. But its workers deserve to earn a decent wage!
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign.

We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.
Kristi Noem-Tied Firm Secretly Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Campaign
The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for the taxpayer-funded campaign.
