CUOMO: Why would you put yourself in a situation where you get involved with crypto and have the UAE as one of your big customers, and then they get AI clearance for chips from the US government? You know how that's gonna look

Ik begrijp dat SBS het lijsttrekkersdebat met Wilders, Timmermans, Bontenbal en Yesilgöz wil doen. Terwijl D66 inmiddels in de peilingen boven de VVD staat. Na het schandalige opzetje met de PVV-fan in het publiek in 2023 zou dat wéér bedenkelijke beïnvloeding van John de Mol & co zijn.

Pam Bondi, in this single exchange, confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is not the Attorney General of the United States.

She is Attorney Specific of Donald Trump.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I had a book on waterfowling back in the day and I will always remember the sentence “The best reason to kill and eat a goose is that a goose would absolutely kill and eat you, given the opportunity.”

Yeah cool. Pull even more federal agents off counterterrorism, child porn, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and fraud investigations to do absolutely nothing.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Hassett: "China has stopped buying US soybeans. The silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground w/tarps over them. That's unacceptable to POTUS. We're calling up our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations & we'll strong policies to support our farmers"

If you didn't want Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish in the US, you should've thought about that before you colonized the island and forcefully made it a part of the US.

A screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG). The tweet reads:
"Bad Bunny says America has 4 months to learn Spanish before his perverse unwanted performance at the Super Bowl halftime.

It would be a good time to pass my bill to make English the official language of America.

And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances during its halftime shows."

The tweet was posted at 10:48 AM on October 6, 2025, has 144.4K views, 954 replies, 1.2K retweets, 7.3K likes, and 70 bookmarks.

Ze staan er
zoveel dat de straat
geen straat meer is
maar adem

een trage golf
van lichamen in rood
die niets anders willen
dan dat het ophoudt

niet meer
niet minder

en even
Lijkt het alsof Amsterdam zelf
zacht begint te blozen
van schaamte
en hoop.

This is the second person shot by ICE/CBP in the past 3 weeks.

An ICE agent shot and killed 38-year-old Silverio Villegas González on Sept 12 in Franklin Park (west suburb of Chicago).

Silverio was a single father who left behind two young boys.

DHS’s version of events don’t add up.

What happened to Silverio Villegas González

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Demonstreren zonder siegheils, zonder NSB-vlaggen, zonder journalisten te mishandelen, zonder een partijkantoor te belagen, zonder vuurwerk naar agenten te gooien, het kan dus wél.
