Jetten wil niet weer knipperen: waarom D66 de VVD nu laat wachten Nu de formatie muurvast zit, heeft D66 geen zin om wéér de VVD haar zin te geven. In de formatie van 2021 moest D66 na maanden touwtrekken buigen voor die partij en dat is niet vergeten. Het sentiment...

"In de formatie van 2021 moest D66 na maanden touwtrekken buigen voor die partij en dat is niet vergeten. (..) En nu de VVD niet meer de grootste partij is, proberen ze anderen nog steeds hun wil op te leggen, is het gevoel bij veel D66’ers".

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

In de afgelopen week, de VS valt Europa frontaal aan in veiligheidsstrategie, wil actief de Europese waarden gaan ondergraven (door steun Orban ed), verder probeert de VS Oekraïne te dwingen tot een deal met Rusland, terwijl geen enkele druk op Rusland wordt gezet.... VS is geen bondgenoot meer.

@sheilas.bsky.social ziet 'n minderheidscoalitie gloren van D66, CDA en VVD. Voordat 't écht zover is, geeft zij nu alvast 'n vlijmscherp resumé vh politieke leven van #Yesilgöz in Den Haag. Waar ze niet doen aan opvoedlogica. En waarin Yesilgöz donkerbruine antecedenten van JA21-lieden schoonwast.

Over 700 MISSILES and DRONES rain down on Ukraine in Russia’s biggest strikes in weeks.

The latest attacks come as Washington advances a diplomatic plan to end the war – a proposal that Kyiv fears could require major concessions to Moscow.

Was hinter Donald Trumps nationaler Sicherheitsstrategie steckt Trump sieht EU als Risiko: In ihrer neuen Sicherheitsstrategie üben die USA scharfe Kritik an Europa. Was dahinter steckt.

The EU’s Fine Against X is Not About Speech or ‘Censorship’ | TechPolicy.Press The €120 million fine under the Digital Services Act is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, writes Stanford's Daphne Keller.

Don't let anyone — not even the US Secretary of State — tell you that the European Commission's €120 million enforcement against Elon Musk’s X under the Digital Service Act is about censorship, writes Daphne Keller. It’s just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, she says.

U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama "ordered...Pablo [be returned] by Dec. 12 and...daily updates...in the meantime..administration repeatedly acknowledged the 'unlawful' and 'wrongful'...deportation and ...suggested it would seek to bring him back to the US.

But...Pablo was not returned."

he suspected drug traffickers, the lone survivors of a U.S. airstrike, were sprawled on a table-size piece of floating wreckage in the Caribbean for more than 40 minutes. They were unarmed, incommunicado, and adrift as they repeatedly attempted to right what remained of their boat. At one point, the men raised their arms and seemed to signal to the U.S. aircraft above, a gesture some who watched a video of the incident interpreted as a sign of surrender. Then a second explosion finished the men off, leaving only a bloody stain on the surface of the sea. Footage of the two men’s desperate final moments made some viewers nauseated, leading one to nearly vomit. “It was worse than we had been led to believe,” one person told us.

Republicans watched it and became aroused.

Raymond Mens die bij Kockelmann de blokkade van de VVD tegen GL/PvdA gelijkstelt aan het godzijdank herstelde cordon sanitaire rond de PVV. En niemand aan tafel die zegt dat er een verschil is tussen democratische en ondemocratische partijen. Gewoon op de NPO. Het is gekmakend.

How is U.S. military killing these 11 people keeping drugs (fentanyl) out of the United States?
