1/ For 10 weeks, our fact checkers and data scientists asked five leading AI chatbots the same 22 questions every day: Gemini 3.1, ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek and Claude. None repeated the core misinformation they were tested on. But we found several points of failure 🧵

“CU en CDA hebben zich laten overrompelen. Dat is een landelijk patroon. Oldebroek is daarom geen ‘negorij’, zoals Youp van ‘t Hek gemakzuchtig schreef. Het dorp ligt, dankzij ‘bruggenhoofd’ De Nooijer, over wie Kornilov zich in Moskou vrolijk maakt, in het hart van politiek Nederland.”

VVD Maakt Van der Valk Rijk "Voor het huren van hotelkamers betaalt het COA prijzen die oplopen tot meer dan €300 per nacht. Dat is ruimschoots het dubbele van een gemiddelde kamerprijs bij Van der Valk, en leidt er mede toe dat het concern in 2022 het 'beste jaar ooit' heeft gedraaid." (2024)

De wijze waarop het gedachtegoed van FvD ons land is binnengesijpeld, is verontrustend. Daarom moet omroep ON in de ban worden gedaan en aanhangers van FvD, zoals Tom de Nooijer, nauwlettend in de gaten worden gehouden. En de gemeenteraad van #Oldebroek zou het vertrouwen in hem moeten opzeggen.

Zij willen rijke mensen nog rijker maken, wij willen dat gewone mensen erop vooruitgaan. Zo staan de begrotingsonderhandelingen er nu voor. Onze inzet is simpel: haal die bezuinigingen op de sociale zekerheid van tafel en vraag een eerlijke bijdrage van miljonairs. Dan valt er te praten over steun.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

De vroegere Nederlandse spits Marco van Basten is kritisch op #Ayase #Ueda, topscorer #Feyenoord én #Eredivisie. ‘Veel goals zijn simpele intikkers.’ Ook op dit WK bewijst de Japanner het tegendeel: 2 puike goals. Van Basten scoorde nooit op een WK. #TUNJPN #Japan🇯🇵 #TUNJAP #fotografie #photography

Sazan island is a Cold War military complex. It has tunnels and underground shelters. The island lies in a strategically important location between the Strait of Otranto and the mouth of the Bay of Vlorë, which marks the border between the Adriatic and Ionian seas.

Yesilgöz gaat de haar toevertrouwde extra miljarden weggeven aan Amerikaanse defensie-industrie. Heeft ze dit weekend in Singapore aan Hegseth beloofd. U weet wel, geld dat door bezuinigingen op sociale zekerheid moeten worden opgebracht. Brekelmans: “minimaal 6,5 miljard” De lange arm van Rutte.

I’m so ashamed to be from the Netherlands. European countries are being attacked, and Rutte is throwing them under the bus by ignoring what Trump is actually saying. I understand taking the diplomatic route, but completely disregarding the concerns of another country is something entirely different.

This editorial cartoon satirizes the potential for political figures to profit from insider knowledge regarding national security announcements.

• The cartoon depicts a White House official waiting to announce a war, specifically referencing "Iran".

Other officials are shown frantically trading stocks or assets on their devices before the announcement is made public.

The title, "The NEXT big Iran War announcement", suggests repeated conflicts are used for financial gain.

The overall message critiques the blending of public office duties with private financial interests.
