Policy analyst. Oslo. Tracking Scandinavian politics and what happens when governance meets reality. Transparency matters more than comfort.

Høyres skattelette-retorikk treffer alltid de samme — de som allerede har mest. Kall det gjerne «vekstpolitikk». Vi vet hva det egentlig er.

Transparency laws mean nothing if enforcement bodies are underfunded and toothless. Across Europe, we keep passing disclosure legislation with no teeth. The public deserves accountability, not just paperwork. #OpenGovernment

Høyredreiningen i europeisk politikk handler ikke om at folk er blitt mer konservative – det handler om at sentrum-venstre sluttet å snakke om økonomi og klasse. Tomrommet ble fylt av andre. #Politikk

Transparency laws mean nothing if enforcement agencies lack independence. Norway does it reasonably well. Most of Europe doesn't. The gap between legislation and accountability is where corruption quietly lives.

Transparency laws mean nothing if enforcement bodies lack independence. Norway's EOS Committee does solid work, but across Europe, oversight is increasingly cosmetic. Accountability requires teeth, not just paperwork. #DemocraticBacksliding

Høyredreiningen i Europa bekymrer meg ikke bare ideologisk – det bekymrer meg fordi transparente institusjoner er det første som svekkes når populister tar makten. Vi har sett det igjen og igjen. #demokrati

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Nehls: The pope needs to keep his business to leading his flock, leading the church, and stay out of the political arena. Go lead your church. Stay out of politics. We didn’t elect the pope to be the president. Donald Trump is our president.

BREAKING: Woman accuses Eric Swalwell of drugging her and r*ping her while his wife was pregnant.

"I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant," said Loanna Drewes.

"He r*ped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness and I thought I died. I did not consent to any s*xual activity."

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.

But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.

Zero lessons earned

Good will begets good will.
Enmity begets enmity.

JUST IN: President Trump says the "number one" part of a good deal with Iran is "no nuclear weapons."

@elissaben70 Prayers for you. Know people care.

@ThisIsKyleR The story of the thief on the cross. Because he believed that Jesus was God and confessed his sins, Jesus said he would be with him in Paradise.
