Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Tijdens het debat over de financiële beschouwingen komt de aap uit de mouw: De belastingverlaging in box 3 kost €18,4 miljard. De belastingverlaging in box 2 kost €1,7 miljard. Kabinet heeft slechts een dekking van €12,3 miljard, dus nog een openstaande rekening van €7,7 miljard (!)

ICE is having another hiring surge, adding 5,000 new employees by the end of the year. That would expand the agency’s workforce by about 17%. As of July, ICE had more than 29,000 employees, funded by substantial new funding from Congress. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.
