“This should have always been a team effort,” Trump writes.
After stomping on Allies for more than a year—threatening to take their territory, imposing tariffs, not consulting them on the war—it takes chutzpah to ask them now to help bail you out of the biggest US strategic mistake in decades.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

The European Commission says Poland's SAFE plan is "very strong and well prepared", and disbursements can start as soon as April if the loan agreement is signed.
"Time is of the essence," a spokesperson says. "Member states that receive an envelope from us is because they have requested the money."

Wie elektrisch kan rijden, 'tankt' veel goedkoper. Financier dus de verbouwing en aanschaf voor de mensen die dat geld niet op zak hebben. Kost ook nog eens minder, want door de lagere rekening kan het bedrag deels worden terugbetaald. Zo help je gezinnen, fossiele onafhankelijkheid én het klimaat.

Vrijdag jl in @fd.nl @catherinedevries.bsky.social @ieuniversity.bsky.social: “Pas als mensen in hun eigen woonplaats ‘n leven met perspectief kunnen opbouwen, is voltooiing van de Interne Markt duurzaam”. Zeker & waarschuwing voor nieuwe kabinet. Duurzame hervormen vergt gelijke lastenverdeling.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.
The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

Cover story from The Lancet, one of the world's most prestigious and high-impact general medical journals, that says "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm.
The Lancet spells out the case against RFK Jr so clearly.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year
Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.
De VS wees 7 maanden geleden een aanbod af van Oekraïne voor het leveren technologie om Shahed-drones neer te halen, schrijft @axios.com 🤦♂️
Amerika kwam vorige week op zijn besluit terug vanwege de onverwacht zware droneaanvallen vanuit Iran.

Nog een scherpe daling van de gasprijzen aan het einde van de handelsdag. Uiteindelijk resulteert daardoor een daling van de gasprijs met bijna 20%.

So now they are saying it openly.
Hungary kept a Ukrainian cash shipment worth about $82 million and tied its return to reopening the Druzhba pipeline. Minister János Lázár said the money stays in Hungary for now.
Call it what it is: blackmail for Russian oil.

De CO2-intensiteit van NL elektriciteit daalt snel, van DE minder, terwijl BE stijgt*. FR stabiel laag.
#grafiekvandedag
*feitelijk stijgt BE meer, want veel import van stroom uit NL kolen- en gascentrales, waarvan de CO2 conform afspraken aan NL wordt toegerekend.

Trump says he is waiving some oil-related sanctions “to reduce prices.”
When Trump talks about cheaper oil and “so much peace,” Ukrainians hear something else: more money for the war against them.
He knows what Russian oil money means.

Het vonnis laat zien hoezeer het Rijk vastzit aan grote Amerikaanse techbedrijven zoals Microsoft en Oracle, stellen experts.
Als leveranciers te weinig doen om onze data te beschermen dan geef je ze toch niet 3,3 miljard aan belastinggeld?! Dan moet je het zelf willen doen! De alternatieven zijn er. Hou op met angst zaaien over continuiteit van dienstverlening zonder onderbouwing! Debat aangevraagd! fd.nl/bedrijfsleve...
