Mr. Prime Minister, shall we start now? Let's start, and let's start properly. What do you mean? Let's start everything. Can you be more specific? Let's start clothes, let's start equipment, let's start equipment. I mean, all outdoor sports and free time. Now I understand. Maybe you understand numbers better. Budgesport is now even below 60%. So... Exactly. Budgesport.fi.

The reason for the return is the regular check-up of the nursing home. There has been a little cramp in the knee and back.

Some terrible news for Donald Trump on the domestic and international front on Thursday.
Ben Meiselas 1:11
We learned that officially the U.S. housing market has reached its most unaffordable level in history. As Trump promised to make housing more affordable, he's done the exact opposite. Also, Donald Trump was supposed to impose sanctions on Russia and supposed to make a big announcement about giving long range missiles to Ukraine. But now we see that Donald Trump is spending the morning speaking to Vladimir Putin. He goes, the conversation is ongoing and a lengthy one. I will report the contents, as will President Putin. At its conclusion, thank you for your attention to this matter. Ah, we must listen to Putin reporting the contents. Ah, yes, America first. This is the MAGA Republican. Congress members have been meeting today in this past week with the ambassador from Russia who is providing the MAGA Republicans with what Russia claims to be the true JFK files.

And MAGA can't make this stuff up. But then the MAGA Republican Congress members are saying, They believe Putin and the Kremlin, and they are thankful for it. And they are planning future meetings with Russia's sovereign wealth fund delegations to discuss trade. That's what MAGA Republican Anna Paulina Luna is posting today. Meanwhile, Apple's Tim Cook announced that Apple will be increasing its investment into China. So... More investment into China. I see that Donald Trump's decoupling and trade war against China is going well. I guess Tim Cook realizes all you got to do is show up in the Oval Office and give Donald Trump a little golden orb and then you can just do deals with China and then hold Donald Trump at bay.

and by stroking his ego. Meanwhile, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, their governor, Josh Shapiro, has filed a massive lawsuit against Donald Trump this morning. Governor Shapiro writes, as I've said time and time again, I'm an all-above-energy governor. I'm an all of the above energy governor. So today, Pennsylvania is taking legal action to stop the Trump administration from unlawfully canceling our $156 million solar for all program. The federal government awarded this funding to Pennsylvania last year to build rooftop solar on over 12,000 homes for low-income families, helping to lower their energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across our Commonwealth. Now is not the time to cut energy production.

And I will always stand up for Pennsylvanians when the Trump administration tries to break their contracts. That's always been Donald Trump's history. A contract breaker, a fraud. a bankrupter, even when legislation is passed to fund things, even when under the current government, Trump does rescission and just removes the things they say are in the bills, that they are not to be trusted on anything. And Trump just cares about his 90,000 square foot ballroom, triumphant arches, UFC matches in front of the White House, golfing every weekend.

What broke for Trump domestically and internationally on Thursday?

While 20 million Americans lose their health care, $40 billion is now going to Argentina. We learned that yesterday that it would be 40 billion, not just 20 billion from a bailout.
