Opnieuw een prima week voor hernieuwbare elektriciteit: ruim 70%* met zonPV in de hoofdrol. Terwijl nota bene ruim 15% (!) van alle zonPV en wind-op-land werd afgeschakeld. #grafiekvandedag *mede door export van zon- & windstroom, dat als hernieuwbaar voor NL blijft meetellen.

This blue Bay Area county insists it has 'zero contact' with ICE. But it gets $$ for sharing its info with federal immigration authorities. It's all part of a little-known data-sharing program that exists around the country & only some places have quit. really critical new reporting:

You sure? Coz non-official acts of corruption are not immune from prosecution.

‼️ 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Putin took advantage of Trump's ignorance of the facts about the war in Ukraine to promote false narratives, — Time The Russian dictator, during conversations with Donald Trump and his aides, flooded them with historical narratives, taking advantage of their gaps in knowledge about Ukraine.

Deze week was RECORD 83% van de NL stroomvraag hernieuwbaar. De kolencentrales stonden uit. Aardgas verzorgde 23% van de NL stroomvraag. Opgeteld meer dan 100% vanwege 13% export. #grafiekvandedag Bij export blijft het hernieuwbaar meetellen bij het exporterende land.

‼️ "A ceasefire in 2025 is unlikely. And not because of Zelensky, but because of Putin," — former CIA Director David Petraeus. What do you think? 🤔

HUGE. A direct rebuke to the Trump administration's practice of shoving people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."

The Supreme Court really beat the shit out of the Government here. Wow. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Merz: The fact that President Zelenskyy traveled to Istanbul despite this is a tremendous gesture. Putin didn't show up – and that puts him in the wrong position. A new sanctions package is ready. We will adopt it in Brussels on Tuesday.

Breaking:   WASHINGTON (AP) - Moody's strips U.S. government of top credit rating, saying presidents and lawmakers have failed to reverse rising debts.

So much winning.

Very reassuring to those of us who study such things to know the the president is right on top of these complex issues

President Trump is quite literally selling seats to a private dinner and White House tours to foreign nationals for $4 million+ a piece. Much of the money goes into his own pocket. This is corruption to the highest degree.

Good morning 🌞

BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history. “We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded. Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

"I'm still in shock. I know that there have been political issues around Harvard in recent weeks, but antibiotic resistance isn't one of them." My conversation with Harvard microbiologist @baym.lol, one of many researchers there who just lost millions in fed. grants. www.wbur.org/news/2025/05...

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

🇺🇸❌ Rubio will NOT meet with Russians in Istanbul because Kremlin sent a lower-level delegation, – CNN. 👀 Tomorrow US delegation will participate in the negotiations, but without Rubio. Instead, he plans to meet with the Ukrainian side, in particular Foreign Minister Sybiha

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

De aandelenkoersen zijn alweer hersteld maar de dollar vertelt een ander verhaal. Over Trumps handelsoorlog en de positie van Amerika in de economische wereldorde praten @ajboekestijn.bsky.social en @robdewijk.bsky.social met econoom Heleen Mees. Vragen stellen kan hier! www.bnr.nl/podcast/boek...

🇭🇺 Hungary freezes spending amid $8 billion budget deficit, — Bloomberg. Orban’s government has already raised its deficit targets for this year and next, prompting S&P Global Ratings to downgrade the country’s credit rating to junk.

Als Trump komt kan Poetin niet achterblijven. Normaal laat je dit voorbereiden omdat anders het afbreukrisico te groot is: Trump zit mogelijk met Zelensky én Poetin aan tafel voor gesprekken in Turkije www.nu.nl/spanningen-o...

⚡️ Ukrainian sea drones down 2 Russian Su-30 jets near Novorossiysk, military intelligence chief says. Initially, reports confirmed the destruction of only one jet, but Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) chief, Kyrylo Budanov, later clarified that two aircraft were hit.

Imagine thinking the real threat to democracy is Germany cracking down on Neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers, especially given their own dark history.

"Dutch Tesla sales crashes even further: less than 400 sold in April" (Coming from months with over 12,000 Dutch Tesla sales peak) This graph is all time Tesla EU sales, vs competitor EVs Notice anything strange, especially in the last Q4 and Q1?

Did you think we wouldn’t notice, Fox?

🚨 Steve Witkoff, with no diplomatic experience, has been leading high-level talks with Russia & other regimes. He met Putin alone, without advisors, relying on Kremlin translators. This, along with failed negotiations with Hamas & Iran, undermines US credibility, NYP. nypost.com/2025/04/30/u...

⚡️ Trump administration notifies Congress of proposal to sell Ukraine $50m or more of ‘defense articles.' This marks the first such move under the current U.S. government.
