Zelensky confirms he will meet Trump in Washington this week: “We need to discuss a sequence of steps I want to propose to the president.”

He noted Trump insisted Tomahawk transfers can’t be discussed over the phone.

Kudos to ⁦‪@mehdirhasan‬⁩.

Not only did he invite me on his show in 2018 to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).

But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes 🔥

🧵We already knew that the Finland basic income experiment resulted in slightly increased employment, significantly increased trust in people and institutions, and a pro-democracy increase in voting, but now we know it also reduced psychotropic drug use and increased total earned income by about 10%.

Scott Santens @scottsantens.com · 23d

A NEW study of the Finland basic income experiment just dropped. Turns out psychotropic drug use decreased by 8 %–11 %, and incomes increased on average by 9% to 11% due to people not losing the income when they accepted a job, unlike traditional unemployment.

Coalition Canada for Basic Income and the PEI Working Group for a Livable Income led a delegation to Ottawa this week to advance a 5-7 year Basic Income Guarantee demonstration project for PEI. This initiative could be a national first - shaping a fairer, more effective income support system for all Canadians.

How can you help? Sign Petition e‑6772 to show you support bringing this vision to life—and share it widely so we can show our elected representatives how many of us believe in economic justice for all.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

They’d rather keep the government shut down than negotiate to keep health care affordable.
