And once again the power of the US government will be used to represent a private company owned by the single largest donor to Trump campaign to leverage foreign governments.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

Eläkkeet | Yrittäjien eläkemaksujen ja todellisten tulojen välillä ”merkittävä” ero Yrittäjien laskennalliset yel-työtulot ovat selvästi heidän verotettavia ansiotulojaan pienempiä, käy ilmi Eläketurvakeskuksen selvityksestä.

Yrittäjien eläkevakuutuksessa ei vakuuteta todellisia ansioita vaan työpanoksen arvoa. Niinpä kolmella neljäsosalla YEL-työtulo on ansiotuloja pienempi, eikä yrittäjäeläkkeitä ole voitu rahastoida. Valtio maksaa yrittäjäeläkkeistä ensi vuonna 593 miljoonaa euroa. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...

Juuri näin, työmarkkinatuessa tämä on ollut pitkään. Uusi asia tässä yleistuessa on se että peruspäiväraha lakkaa olemasta ja kaikkia jotka ei täytä työssäoloehtoa tai kuulu työttömyyskassaan koskee käytännössä työmarkkinatuen säännöt. Eli odotusaika ja tarveharkinta.

A report reveals the DOJ—after frantically realizing the files would be released—has been paying FBI agents nearly $1M in overtime to work on the “Epstein Transparency Project."

Hyvä että YLE selvittää, mutta jutussa on iso asiavirhe. Avoimuusrekisteristä ei voi päätellä, kuinka monta kertaa jokin taho on ollut päättäjään yhteydessä. Rekisteri kertoo, kuinka moneen tahoon ollaan vaikutettu mistäkin vaikuttamisen aiheesta. Yhteydenottoja voi olla tätä enemmän tai vähemmän.

WSJ Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project if it is released from sanctions. Another Trump donor, Stephen P. Lynch, paid $600,000 this year to a lobbyist close to Trump Jr. who is helping him seek a Treasury Department license to buy the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from a Russian state-owned company.

One sign that he may be serious is that some of his most-trusted friends, sanctioned billionaires from his St. Petersburg hometown-Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk and the Rotenberg brothers, Boris and Arkady-have sent representatives to quietly meet American companies to explore rare-earth mining and energy deals, according to people familiar with the meetings and European security officials. That includes reviving the giant Nord Stream pipeline, sabotaged by Ukrainian tactical divers, and under European Union sanctions. Earlier this year, Exxon Mobil met with Russia's biggest state energy company, Rosneft, to discuss returning to the massive Sakhalin gas project if Moscow and Washington gave the green light.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

America’s civic institutions have to address the full monstrosity of this. So too do democratic governments elsewhere in the world. It’s not happening. It’s being allowed to pass - so as not to rock the boat. Rock the boat, guys, rock it hard, rock it now.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

In honour of its proponents, I suggest that the Dmitriev-Witkoff proposal should henceforth be called the Dim-Wit Plan

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump + Plaque: LOYALTY TO THE CONSTITUTION THE UNITED STATES BOLDLY BROKE WITH THE ANCIENT MILITARY CUSTOM OF SWEARING LOYALTY TO A LEADER. ARTICLE VI REQUIRED THAT AMERICAN OFFICERS THEREAFTER SWEAR LOYALTY TO OUR BASIC LAW, THE CONSTITUTION. WHILE MANY OTHER NATIONS HAVE SUFFERED MILITARY COUPS, THE UNITED STATES NEVER HAS. OUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW. MANY OTHER NATIONS HAVE ADOPTED OUR PRINCIPLE OF LOYALTY TO THE BASIC LAW. THIS NATION MUST HAVE MILITARY LEADERS OF PRINCIPLE AND INTEGRITY SO STRONG THAT THEIR OATHS TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION WILL UNFAILINGLY GOVERN THEIR ACTIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY IS TO PROVIDE SUCH LEADERS OF CHARACTER. 1.23k ReTruths 3.93k Likes 11/23/25, 7:41 PM

Together with @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu, we have spoken to President Zelenskyy.

From day one, Europe has stood with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.

We have been working for a just and sustainable peace with Ukraine and for Ukraine together with our friends and partners.

1/6 Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. He failed.

Now he’s trying the same broken strategy again: forcing Russia’s will on Ukraine.

Here’s why it will fail and why Ukraine must reject it👇

Auli Viitalan kolumni: Hallituksen suunnitelma säästää toimeentulotuesta on epärealistinen – ja julma Toimeentulotuen uudistus laittaa viranomaiset kinkkisen pohdinnan eteen: mitä on ihmisarvoinen elämä, Viitala kirjoittaa.

Hallituksen uudistukset Totu-lakiin herättää huolta moneltakin osalta ja se ei tule parantamaan työllisyyttä- vaan lisäämään palveluntarvetta, syrjäytyneisyyttä, asunnottomuutta, lapsiperheköyhyyttä ja mielenterveysongelmia, ja lisäksi homma tulee kaatumaan hyvinvointialueiden vastuulle.

Työkyvyttömyyden ehkäisyyn tarvitaan aktiivisempaa otetta. Työkyvyttömyyden palvelupolku tulisi käydä läpi, korjata väliinputoamisia aiheuttavat kapeikot ja sujuvoittaa työkyvylle sopivaan työhön palaamista. @telary.bsky.social julkaisussa on tukku ehdotuksia, joista teimme nostoja oheiseen blogiin!
