The paint on Washington's newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was peeling away from the bottom and into the algae-tinted water, less than two weeks after President Trump announced the job's completion https://t.co/kNdlQ3GadE

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni accused her one-time close ally Donald Trump of fabricating a story about her, after ‌the US president told an Italian TV channel that she had 'begged' him to take a photo with her at the G7 summit https://t.co/lMm0HYeIZi

Het onderzoek volgde op het nieuws in 2024 dat rond de militaire vliegbasis Leeuwarden een van de grootste PFAS-vervuilingen van Nederland was vastgesteld. Metingen toonden aan dat in wateren in de omgeving tot wel 900 keer boven de norm kwamen.

Iran
14. The final agreement will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution.
POTUS 45 and 47 have thrown all their principles overboard and are carrying on bravely. Whether Zelensky should be pleased with that remains to be seen.
The Minister of War has no clothes.

@locuta Uit de hand gelopen vermaak. "Infotainment is een samentrekking van informatie en entertainment. De term wordt voornamelijk gebruikt voor multimediasystemen in auto's om serieuze informatie of nieuws op een luchtige, vermakelijke manier over te brengen aan een breed publiek."

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS De heren blijven positief. Macron gaf hem nog beleefd een hand en zei, denk ik: Welkom bij de show.

@KeesVorst @israelever117 @pipogast @hvzeeland De bedoeling van vragen is ze zo snel mogelijk weg te strepen tot er een duidelijke oorzaak overblijft. Op X kan je er al veel wegstrepen door de antwoorden hier, zonder er perse naast te zitten. Om die reden blijft hij ook nog vast zitten. Hij heeft ze ook moeten beantwoorden.

We hebben de tweede Nederlandse mijnenjager overgedragen aan de Oekraïense marine. Deze gaat helpen om zeemijnen te ruimen en de veiligheid op zee te herstellen. Ik wens de bemanning een behouden vaart. 🇳🇱🇺🇦

Trump ataca Lewis Hamilton — e recebe uma resposta contundente…. Donald Trump chamou Lewis Hamilton de “um insulto ao esporte” porque o heptacampeão é “extremamente progressista” e acredita que não devemos discriminar com base no gênero…. Infelizmente ele escolheu a pessoa errada…. Em um local histórico, Lewis Hamilton não apenas respondeu com veemência — ele fez um discurso moral…. “O presidente dos Estados Unidos acabou de dizer que eu insultei o espírito da competição”, começou Lewis Hamilton…. “Querem saber o que insulta a humanidade? Tirar o acesso à saúde dos doentes enquanto se cortam impostos para bilionários.”…. “Sabem o que insulta a humanidade?”, continuou ele…. “Deportar estrangeiros e separar bebês de suas mães.”….
“Sabe o que insulta a humanidade? Bombardear crianças inocentes em idade escolar no Irã e enviar nossos bravos homens e mulheres para morrer em mais uma guerra sem fim… Acobertar os arquivos de Epstein e depois se recusar a processar uma única pessoa envolvida.”…. Lewis Hamilton — que foi atacado por Trump por apoiar pessoas transgênero e afirmar que “todas as crianças são uma dádiva para este mundo” — mudou completamente o discurso…. Em vez de recuar, ele fundamentou sua mensagem nos próprios valores que Trump tentou usar como arma…. “Eu não sou uma pessoa perfeita”, disse ele…. “Mas me esforço todos os dias para usar minha plataforma em prol daqueles que não a têm.”…. “Somos ensinados a amar o nosso próximo como a nós mesmos… Conseguimos imaginar a guerra em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar o preconceito em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar a pobreza em um mundo perfeito? Então por que toleramos essas coisas na Terra?”

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.

I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.

I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

@UlysseEllian Leg dat om te beginnen maar uit aan Yesilgöz, je partijleider. En durf als VVD grote afstand te nemen van Donald Trump en zijn regering waaronder de minister van Oorlog. https://t.co/61A1qJqgrc

Hoopvol nieuws uit de VS en Iran. Als deze afspraken standhouden, betekent dat minder spanningen en meer stabiliteit in het Midden-Oosten. Dat is goed voor de veiligheid in de regio én kan helpen om energieprijzen en kosten in Nederland te verlagen.

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. 

The country is watching.

@DefensieMin @Defensie @NLinUkraine This minister (VVD party in the Netherlands) is selective in naming those who lose innocent lives in wars and bomb cultural monuments. In Lebanon, Netanyahu does the same. In Tyre, for example. https://t.co/ExLMzpbBET

@AfshinEllian1 Voorlopig is er slechts door een intelligentere president dan Potus45 een deal gesloten, door Obama dus, en ongenummerd. Die deal is door potvis45 roekeloos opgezegd en sinds een half jaar vervangen door een hopeloze oorlog waarin Iran de kaarten heeft en die listig uitspeelt.
