Rubio heb ik hoog zitten. Maduro afzetten, Cuba isoleren, Iran platleggen waardoor Hamas, Hezbollah en de Houthis niet langer worden gesteund en OPEC wordt uitgehold: ik heb de VS niet eerder zo effectief buitenlands beleid zien voeren.

Dit...is de toekomstquote:
quote:BREAKING: BUSTED! Democrats just hit Trump's clueless Interior Secretary with a real SMACKDOWN after he tried to claim solar energy is useless after dark.
Donald Trump's Interior Secretary Doug Burgum just embarrassed himself — and the entire administration — in front of the House Natural Resources Committee, and the moment is going VIRAL for all the right reasons.
Burgum, apparently unaware that the 21st century has arrived, launched into a lecture about how solar energy is unreliable because — brace yourself — the sun goes down at night. Stunning insight, Doug. Truly. He then parroted tired right-wing talking points about China supplying solar components, as if that were a reason to abandon clean energy rather than a reason to invest in American manufacturing.
That's when Rep. Susie Lee of Nevada — a state that is BOOMING with clean energy projects — calmly stopped him cold. "We have battery storage," she said simply. Because, yes, that technology exists. It has for years.
But Ranking Committee member Rep. Jared Huffman of California wasn't done. In one of the most savage moves in recent congressional history, Huffman requested unanimous consent to enter into the official record — wait for it — a battery. "This amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of," Huffman deadpanned, as Burgum sat there.
"China's figured it out," Huffman continued. "That's why they're cleaning our clock on clean energy."
And he's absolutely right. While Trump's fossil-fuel cronies are busy pretending renewables don't work, China is dominating the global clean energy race — deploying more solar, wind, and battery storage than any nation on Earth. More clean energy was built in China last year than all other sources combined. Meanwhile, the man in charge of America's energy future can't name a battery.
This is what happens when you put oil and gas lobbyists in charge of the energy transition. Real Americans — in Nevada, California, and across this country — are depending on solar and wind to lower their electricity bills, reduce pollution, and free us from the grip of petro-dictators. Clean energy IS energy security.
Nee, nou zijn we gerustgesteld, hoorquote:Speaking to reporters in the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump was asked about the potential spread of hantavirus in the U.S., following the return of over a dozen Americans who were on a cruise liner where the virus had infected multiple people.
The question specifically asked about infectious disease experts expressing concern regarding the lack of an adequate government response to the minor outbreak. Trump deferred to Mehmet Oz, the former television personality turned head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Oz rejected the concerns of those experts. “It’s just not true,” he said, adding that Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “is involved” in the response.

Even snel cashen voor de rechter de rechtszaak ongeldig verklaartquote:A settlement in the coming days would fly in the face of efforts by the federal judge overseeing the case, Kathleen Williams, an appointee of President Barack Obama in the Southern District of Florida, to try and manage the conflict of interest in the case. Not only has she requested briefings from Mr. Trump's lawyers and the government by next week, she has appointed a group of six well-respected lawyers not otherwise involved in the case to provide her with their views on whether Mr. Trump's lawsuit is legitimate.
If a settlement is reached before Judge Williams has a chance to make a decision about whether the underlying lawsuit is valid, it could frustrate her, though legal experts say that her authority beyond that would be limited.
She would not likely be able to prevent Mr. Trump from simply withdrawing the suit and coming to a private agreement with the federal government. Even if the judge were to ultimately find that the settlement was collusive or reached in bad faith, she would likely be hamstrung in any effort to stop money or other benefits from changing hands.

quote:Inside The $124.7 Billion Budget That Will Define Mamdani’s First Term
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a record‑setting $124.7 billion budget that closes a multibillion‑dollar gap through state aid, a new pied‑à‑terre tax, and a pension‑funding maneuver — a mix of choices that could shape the city’s long‑term fiscal stability, business climate and credit profile.
(..)
Unlike the federal government, New York City must balance its budget annually because the city cannot run a deficit. Prior mayors, including Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams, faced recurring fiscal pressures and rising costs.
3 Key Takeaways From Mamdani’s Budget
(1) Mamdani Showed He Can Compromise To Close The Gap
During his campaign, Mamdani promised significant tax increases to fund expanded services. But he quickly realized he needed cooperation from state leaders. Gov. Kathy Hochul immediately opposed raising taxes solely on the wealthiest New York City residents and corporations.
Because Mamdani could not unilaterally impose new taxes, he had to work with the governor to craft a plan she would support. Before state assistance, the city faced an estimated $5 billion budget gap. State funding helped close that gap, signaling Mamdani’s ability to negotiate and compromise.
(2) Most Wealthy Individuals And Corporations Avoided New Taxes
A central campaign promise — raising taxes on the city’s wealthiest residents and corporations — did not materialize. New York’s highest earners and major companies will continue paying the same tax rates.
(..)
The tax Mamdani did secure is a pied‑à‑terre tax — an incremental property tax on unoccupied second homes valued at more than $5 million. Mamdani expects it to generate $500 million, though the city comptroller estimates a lower range of $340 million and $380 million.
(..)
(3) A Pension Accounting Shift Could Create Long‑Run Risks
A key part of closing the funding gap involved Mamdani securing state permission to reamortize the city’s pension obligations, generating more than $2 billion in near‑term budget relief.
(..)
Mamdani’s budget does not eliminate any pension obligations. Instead, it delays payments. The New York Times reports that the maneuver pushes costs into future years.
This approach has several implications:
• Extending payments increases the total long-term overall costs, similar to choosing a 30-year mortgage over a 15-year one.
• If pension debt grows faster than contributions, the city risks negative amortization, where unfunded liabilities increase instead of shrink.
• Shifting costs to future residents can strain the city’s finances and potentially weaken its credit rating.
