dit zou een heel goed idee zijn. En daarom ben ik bang dat het het niet gaat halen

Vance: “Criticism of desanctioning Russia is that Russians will now be able to sell their diesel fuel. That’s absurd, they’ve always been able to sell it. They’re just selling it at a massive discount to China. Meanwhile, our farmers and consumers have suffered.” The whole point of sanctions is to

The European Parliament has awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to the International Criminal Court and its officials. This prize should be a rallying cry for ICC members to stand up for the court and for the EU Commission to urgently activate the EU’s "blocking statute."

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

What a vile fascist. Putin also

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Trump just claimed the United States had done “a lot” for Ukraine, but that Ukraine has done “nothing” for the United States. This is unjust in the highest degree. And not just untrue in the normal sense — it is a big lie, designed to bring about horror and chaos. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

En verder, bouwen. Want afhankelijkheid betekent kwetsbaarheid. We moeten Europese alternatieven creëren die voldoen aan onze waarden en normen. 11/12

Despite the Trump administration's best efforts, Alberta votes not to break up Canada

De VVD, een partij vol volksmenners en populalisten.

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

So, as it Turns Out, America Lost the Cold War: "There is no mistaking who is in the driver’s seat in this relationship: Putin. There is no mistaking who is taking orders from the Kremlin. There is no mistaking which country benefits and which pays the price."

I believe that there must be rules of the road for platform owners that protect the interests of democracy and free speech. It’s time to regulate social media like we regulate utilities, because social media platforms are now part of critical infrastructure. Plain and simple.

Congress passed tough sanctions on Russia to punish Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Now the White House turns around and undoes all of that to let Russia off the hook for their illegal invasion. That isn’t maximum pressure. It’s maximum retreat.

Trump tells Congress he doesn't care about what they think and lifts Russian energy sanctions www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Journalist to Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” Good job, Britain! That’s how it’s done. Video: Sky News

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

⚡️Amid Trump tensions, Zelensky says Ukraine will stand its ground — with Europe's support. "I am standing up for Ukraine's interests solely and the people of Ukraine. We were attacked, we were occupied, our people were killed," Zelensky said when asked to comment on Trump's attacks against him.

"If fossil fuels keep burning at present rates, we are headed for apocalyptic civilisational collapse" "Because the rich own things, and the poor do not, it is legal for the rich to destroy Earth and illegal for the poor to stop them" 💚Sally Rooney💚

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

It's already been said many times that the U.S., under President Donald Trump, was turning its back on Ukraine. But the past few days show something worse than abandonment: Trump is now actively helping Russia win the war.

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender" www.theatlantic.com/idea/2026/10...

⚡️ Exclusive: Finland pushes to all but eliminate Russian travel in EU.

I'm overwhelmed by all the support you gave me over the past couple of days! Thank you very much, wonderful people, you are amazing! 🫂 ​I hope our armed forces will double down on taking out Russian oil refineries. They can't sell what they don't have.

"Some have said..."

🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Trump's deal on Russian diesel is a "betrayal of Ukraine", - The Atlantic Trump's announced purchase of 2.25 million barrels of Russian diesel will have almost no effect on prices in the US, but could become a serious support for Moscow.

0.0C above 1850 temperatures: nice 1.5C above 1850 temperatures: current chaos 3.0C above 1850 temperatures: 4 billion dead 4.5C above 1850 temperatures: 8 billion dead

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

I think Trump got fooled. Russia can not export some millions of barrels of oil and diesel. The only way they can achieve that is by enforcing political ceasefire for Ukraine over Russian oil facilities & massive investment to repair them.

We mandate seatbelts to save lives. We mandate education to build futures. Why don't we mandate forest restoration to save the planet? Bare land should be illegal when we have the seeds to heal it.

We can’t just move past what SCOTUS has permitted this Administration to do to people who have lived and worked in the U.S. for years and even decades.

GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury, claiming he had evidence Smith secretly went to an Atlanta Hawks game. Then it all backfired in real-time.
