'Afgelopen vijf jaar [aug 2025] is de Nederlandse aanschaf van Israëlische wapens geëxplodeerd.
Met een pakket orders ter waarde van 1,9 miljard euro is Nederland een van de belangrijkste klanten van de Israëlische wapenindustrie geworden. De helft daarvan is besteld na de start van het Israëlische offensief in Gaza in oktober 2023. De genocide heeft daar kortom geen enkele rem op gezet.'

Bryan Johnson,
a 48 year old American entrepreneur,
has made headlines for his outlandish anti-ageing techniques
-- spending millions of dollars in a bid to extend his life
and reduce his biological age to that of an 18-year-old.
Johnson refers to his Benjamin Button-esque ways as
‘Project Blueprint’,
meticulously taking 54 supplements a day,
eating every meal between 6am and 11.30am,
and following a strict exercise regimen.

On Monday, the Supreme Court denied Trump’s petition for certiorari in
Trump v. Carroll
with no noted dissents.
The 2023 jury verdict finding that Trump sexually abused and defamed advice columnist E. Jean Carroll
is now final.
The president is out of courts to shop this to,
and he’ll get no more appeals.
And since he had to prepay the judgment and deposit it with the court
— along with interest!

Gerade Rieder steht sinnbildlich für den Wandel in Teilen der Partei. Der Walliser Ständerat gilt als Vater des «Solarexpress» und war lange ein Vertreter des Ausbaus der erneuerbaren Energien. Noch bei den Wahlen 2023 beantwortete er bei Smartvote die Frage, ob in der Schweiz wieder neue Atomkraftwerke gebaut werden dürfen, mit «Nein».
Im Ständerat stimmte er nun für Röstis Gegenvorschlag.
