During the first press conference Wilders announced he’ll be introducing the “toughest immigration policy the nation has ever seen”.
His party, the PVV, will govern with 3 other centrist and moderately right-wing parties.
They reached an agreement that included the abolishment of indefinite asylum permits. Another big promise is that asylum seekers who have been rejected will be “deported as much as possible, including by force.” Also, status holders will no longer be given priority in the allocation of social housing. Automatic family reunification will also be scrapped.
Furthermore, the government will “seek permission” from the European Commission to opt out from the European asylum and migration policy.
With regards to the farmers: the government pledges to “pull out all the stops” to change the European directives targeting farmers.
The coalition wants no forced shrinkage of livestock. Nor should there be any forced expropriation. However, they think there still should be “generous voluntary buyouts” and full commitment to innovation in agriculture.
Other measures include lowering taxes, building 100.000 new houses per year, making childcare effectively free and many more.
Of course, nothing in politics is ever perfect: For instance, we’ll continue to send support Ukraine and the government won’t deviate from the already established climate goals – but it is absolutely a huge step in the right direction.

‘Fake News’ Has Been Used for Hundreds of Years to Justify Censorship of Dissent
‘The rule of law has been replaced by the rule of suspicion. And with that the door is open to anything… And that’s why dear friends we haven’t been moving in the spectrum of left and right for a long time. We’ve been moving in the spectrum between freedom and totalitarianism’ — Alice Weidel
SpaceX’s Secret Constellation
The U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is reportedly acquiring a constellation of hundreds of intelligence-gathering satellites from SpaceX, with a specific focus on tracking targets down below in support of ground operations. Though details about this project are still very limited, there are clear parallels to what the U.S. Space Force has previously said about a highly classified space-based radar surveillance program, which it first publicly disclosed around the same time SpaceX is said to have gotten its NRO contract. If this program is the one we think it is, it could bring about a revolution in both tactical and strategic space-based sensing.
Starshield, SpaceX’s government-sales-focused business unit, has been working on the new low Earth orbit (LEO) spy satellites under a $1.8 billion contract it received in 2021 from NRO, according to a report from Reuters this past weekend, citing five anonymous sources familiar with the deal. The Wall Street Journal had previously published a story about the existence of the contract in February, but did not name NRO as being involved or provide specific details about the deal’s scope of work.

Montana Family Launches First Amendment Suit Against State After Being Threatened With Arrest For Speaking Out Against ‘Kidnapping’ Of ‘Transgender’ Daughter
A Montana family who lose custody of their daughter for refusing to “affirm” her transgender identity has launched a first amendment complaint against the state after being threatened with arrest for speaking out against Child and Family Services.
As previously reported by The Publica, 14-year-old “Jennifer” was recently removed from the custody of her family after a months-long battle that started in August last year. The ordeal began after Jennifer told a friend that she was suffering from untreated terminal cancer and was suicidal because her parents, Krista and Todd Kolstad, refused to allow her to transition to a “boy.”
Later that same day, a case worker with Child and Family Services (CFS) arrived to the Kolstad residence to do an inspection and speak to the child. Though the Kolstads explained that Jennifer had history of attention-seeking behavior and telling egregious lies, the CFS worker asked to speak to Jennifer in private. During the interview, Jennifer reportedly claimed that she had consumed toilet bowl cleaner and painkillers in an effort to take her own life.
Despite showing no symptoms and not having access either substance, Jennifer was taken to hospital, at which point bloodwork verified she hadn’t overdosed on anything, nor was she suffering from terminal cancer. Because she had been admitted for suicidal claims, Jennifer had to be monitored. But while at hospital, the issue of Jennifer’s self-declared gender identity became a point of disagreement between staff and the Kolstad family.

Maine Lawmakers Hold Hearing On Psilocybin Bill As Committee Members Disclose Personal Psychedelics Use
A Maine House committee is considering a bill to legalize psilocybin, allowing adults to access the psychedelic at licensed facilities while broadly ending the criminalization of personal use and possession of psilocybin.
During a hearing before the legislature’s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee on Wednesday, members—two of whom disclosed personally using psilocybin in the past—discussed the psychedelics proposal, sponsored by Sen. Donna Bailey (D), who filed a similar version of the proposal in 2022 that passed the Senate but stalled out in the House.
The legislation would allow adults 21 and older to access psilocybin service centers where it could be administered under the guidance of a trained facilitator.
The state Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would be responsible for overseeing the psilocybin program. Regulators would need to start approving psychedelic service centers by January 15, 2025.
Adults in general would be able to possess and cultivate up to four ounces of psilocybin for personal use under the legislation.

Ban on guns in post offices is unconstitutional, US judge rules
Jan 13 (Reuters) – A federal judge in Florida on Friday ruled that a U.S. law that bars people from possessing firearms in post offices is unconstitutional, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling from 2022 that expanded gun rights.
Ayala, a U.S. Postal Service truck driver in Tampa, had a concealed weapons permit and kept a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun in a fanny pack for self-defense, his lawyers said.
He was indicted after prosecutors said he brought the gun onto Postal Service property in 2012.
Mizelle said that while post offices have existed since the nation’s founding, federal law did not bar guns in government buildings until 1964 and post offices until 1972. No historical practice dating back to the 1700s justified the ban, she said.
Mizelle said allowing the federal government to restrict visitors from bringing guns into government facilities as a condition of admittance would allow it to “abridge the right to bear arms by regulating it into practical non-existence.”
