Deze week is Ontbijt met De @tijd.be eerder π°»π°»ι’ met De @tijd.be. @roelverrycken.bsky.social en ik spraken onder andere over de open relatie van Xi en Poetin. P.S.: La Taverne de Zhao is absoluut een aanrader! www.tijd.be/dossier/ontb...
Holy moly! This isnβt wink-wink nudge nudge flirting with trutherism, itβs the whole thing. It was probably inevitable we ended up here.
Belgische proffen in de VS over Trumps oorlog tegen de universiteiten: 'We voelen ons soms zoals het orkest op de Titanic'
Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he saidβon history, economics and the technicalities of tradeβwas utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
"Americaβs new guard are almost all white, all male, and mostly unqualified to lead the departments they are vandalizing. It's not just foreigners who are remaking plans. US scientists are looking abroad. Trump has given the world a giant poaching opportunity." My column. www.ft.com/content/5100...
Tesla ziet verkoop in BelgiΓ« met twee derde terugvallen
Trump is in full banana republic mode and still not one Republican senator will stand up and be counted. Not one.
A picture of a bus ad that says βTARIFFS ARE A TAX ON HARDWORKING AMERICANSβ
Salute to the Canadians for putting these ads up in downtown DC, theyβre right and they should say it more π«‘
If only they had money. And power. And influence.
OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct?
RATLIFFE: No
OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment
David: Are you concerned about retaliation from the Trump administration because of this story? Jeffrey: Itβs not my role to care about the possibility of threats or retaliation. We just have to come to work and do our jobs to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, in our society todayβwe see this across corporate journalism and law firms and other industriesβthereβs too much preemptive obeying for my taste. All we can do is just go do our jobs.
A fantastically important postscript to this piece: David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation, and Goldberg gives a perfect answer β with perfect swipes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Pete Hegseth, in his Fox commentator days, about Hillary Clinton's emails: "Everyone knows what top secret means. β¦ If youβre hiding that on a private server, thatβs a very real problem and likely criminal charges [should] follow" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

If itβs fake, why would you be worried about it leaking?
JD Vance is now officially the most disliked new Vice President in American history, according to data.
"when a reporter asked what Hegseth and Musk discussed, the billionaire responded: 'Why should I tell you?'"

To be clear, Fox News is telling its audience that all of the unprovoked tariffs imposed on Canada by Trump are totally legal and fine, but that Canadian retaliatory tariffs are βthe first official shot of the American-Canadian warβ.

I believe this is a world first: An intra-day tariff chart.
A lot of people who got the measles as children died or suffered lifelong disabilities as a result. The measles vaccine was a godsend to worldwide public health, and itβs an absolute scandal that this lethally ignorant dolt has any power over public health.
holy shit -- Trump was reading from a literal Tesla sales pitch, complete with pricing, during his White House event with Elon Musk. (Andrew Harnik/Getty)

We kunnen op BlueSky helaas nog geen video's langer dan 30 seconden posten. Vergeef me deze link naar Instagram, maar kijk even mee naar hoe de Russische talkshows naar de uitspraken van Trump kijken... π±

a look at the s&p following the election of recent us presidents:
JD Vance in Munich: βIf youβre running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you.β
I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.
βHe has the unwavering support of his maga base, the cowed compliance of his congressional caucus, and the backing of multibillionaires such as Jeff Bezos, who would rather diminish the vitality of his newspaper than risk the dinner invitations of the sovereign.β
