Er wordt wisselend gereageerd op het formatiestuk van D66 en het CDA.De VVD zegt "klaar te staan" on het gesprek met informateur Buma aan te gaan. GroenLinks-PvdA ziet voldoende aanknopingspunten en JA21 gaat het stuk "nauwgezet bestuderen". De komende dagen bespreekt Buma met alle partijen in de Tweede Kamer of die zich kunnen vinden in het formatiestuk. Daarin gaat het onder meer over het behoud van de spreidingswet.Ook zou de hypotheekrenteaftrek geleidelijk moeten worden afgebouwd. SP en PVV zijn ontevreden.De SP is boos vanwege mogelijke bezuinigingen op de zorg. De PVV noemt het een 'flutstuk'.

PVV: Dat mensen nog steeds niet genoeg krijgen van deze schreeuwende flut partij met dito leider met flut resultaten, flut prestaties en flut support van lokale overheden.

(Ter reflectie voor de PVV, is bovenstaand de PVV terminologie gebruikt).

Cornell, Columbia, Brown, UVA. One by one, they’re falling.

Trump isolates them, pressures them, breaks them separately.

Classic authoritarian playbook.
“A people who yield to tyrants lose more than flesh and fortune. Then the light fades.”

Only Harvard stands.

Happy faces; of Putin supporter Orban. While Ukrainians die, Hungary gets a pass to keep funding Putin’s war machine.

Two soldiers morning at coffin, kneeling at the coffin with one hand on the coffin.

The BBC's Jeremy Bowen met a bereaved mother on the outskirts of Kyiv, who had to bury her own son after he was killed by Russian soldiers.

Hungary keeps buying Putin’s oil & gas, directly funding Putin’s war machine.

Trump gives Orbán exemption from Russian energy sanctions after Orbán’s White House visit.

Whatever the last person tells him.
A 🐠 has better memory.

Drie gemeenten die worden genoend in berichten die PVV-leider Wilders op X deelde, weerspreken de beschuldigingen. Zonder bewijs te leveren, postte Wilders berichten over mogelijk gesjoemel met stembiljetten. De gemeente Zaanstad noemt de berichten pertinente onzin. Ook woordvoerders van Maastricht en Leiden ontkennen dat er Leidse stembiljetten in Maastricht zouden zijn opgedoken, zoals Wilders deelde.Deskundigen spreken van een actie die de democratie ondermijnt. Wilders heeft de bron van de meldingen niet bekendgemaakt.De NOS heeft tevergeefs geprobeerd de woordvoering van de PVV te bereiken voor commentaar. BRON: NOS Teletekst

Leidse stembiljetten in Maastricht?

De vrijwilligers tellen alleen de biljetten!

We mogen blij zijn dat Geertje niet aan de knoppen zit

Lawmakers in Mexico City have voted in favor of the reform that, starting this weekend, will have all Mexican judges elected by the people. Photo: Felix Marquez/AP

MEXICO: The separation of powers is gone. Judges elected and judged by popular vote!

The popular promise of a better future.

Next round: vote for your audit office, data protection agency, and election watchdog via a talent show. Justice as façade. 🇲🇽 #chaos #ruleoflawless #Orbanization #USA

Wilders now celebrates in Hungary with Orbán and Putin’s friends.

Real issues: housing, healthcare costs, education, climate, income.

Populists want you to believe everything will be better.

Turkey’s opposition neutralized: after the arrest of Mayor Imamoglu, now 47 municipal officials are detained too. Turkey is checking the boxes of ‘Orbanization’. Or are we witnessing pure ‘Erdoganization’?

The safeguard of democracy is the people.

In WWII, brave Europeans risked everything to mislead authorities and protect the vulnerable. Today, a U.S. judge faces prosecution for doing the same: standing up for human dignity in the face of harsh immigration laws. Sometimes, justice defies authority. #resistance #immigration #Orbanization

“The Fed should work for the people” sounds great—until you realize it’s code for: do what the President says, or else. That’s not freedom. That’s control.

Trump is checking the Orbanization boxes.

Conservatives beware: once the guardrails are gone, no one is safe.

The #Orbanization of the United States is already in full swing. Big business and the media are falling over themselves to kiss the ring, to not be the first to take a hit when the US becomes an autocracy in Hungary's image. At the same time the silence from the Democratic leadership is deafening.

What’s the point of serious appointments? Those loonies satisfy The Base while real power will be centralized. You know, Authoritarian-style. The Orbanization of the USA has begun. Stand by for more. #Orbanization

Mentre il discorso pubblico si avvita su quei 2 ossi di distrazione di massa gli stessi “Statisti” che ci diedero il Porcellum smantellano indisturbati la Costituzione e l’equilibrio di poteri che reggono la Repubblica in una calcolata deriva su modello Ungherese #Premierato #Orbanization
