Vi har ikke hatt en eneste debatt om vår tids mest konkrete og farligste utfordring i hele valgkampen, og så får du en siste partilederdebatt med temaer skreddersydd for de mest populistiske partiene på Stortinget, som du pakker inn i kjøttkakediskurs.

Stefan de Keersmaecker, spokesperson of the European Commission, left his position today. Everyone should watch his farewell to the press room, where he tells the press corps exactly what he thinks of them.

Robert Schuman at a different event in 1950. Real revolutions are seldom televised. In this case, the revolution started with just a press conference by the French foreign minister, laying out an innovative plan about administrative procedures for the regulation of the coal and steel industry. No photographs were taken - because, really, why would anyone take a photograph of something like this? Anyway, it was the starting point of the most successful peace project of all times.
"World peace cannot be safeguarded without creative efforts proportionate to the dangers that threaten it."
Happy 75th anniversary of the #Schuman Declaration, everyone. Let's stay creative!

Happy Europe Day!

What’s happening to USAID is a tragedy, however to provide some perspective, I’ve seen comments along the lines of “it’s by far the world’s largest donor organisation” and that’s not true. Its annual budget is USD 10bn; EU foreign aid* is €80bn (2021-2027), add EU member states & it’s much more. 1/2

It is written in bold and distorted diagonally from top left to bottom right, creating a melting effect and making it hard to read. On the right, there is the word 'transparency' and on the top of it the word 'safety'. They are written in smaller font size, faded colour and crossed out in the middle. Below there is a red switched-off button with "DSA” written inside it.
