I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

Sad news about the passing of Ismail Kadare, so beloved in Albania and abroad internationally acclaimed writer. RIP.
We mourn the loss of Ismail Kadare, a monumental figure in Albanian and European literature. His literary brilliance transcended borders, profoundly shaping the understanding of Albania’s history and heritage. His works fascinated millions of readers worldwide, undoubtedly establishing him as the greatest and most influential Albanian writer of our time.
At home, Kadare’s masterpieces have been constant companions for generations, serving as beacons of hope and pride through both dark and brighter times. His intellectual thought and wisdom served as guiding lights, always directing towards progress and emancipation.
A great Albanian, a colossus of the Balkans, a distinguished European! His legacy will continue to inspire and connect us all. Rest in Peace!
Love is diverse! @TiranaPride

Women have always had to develop strategies to deal with inequality and this has made us especially valuable to organisations that want to change the world.
Now, on behalf of us all, they must lead the shift to a more inclusive and sustainable global growth model.

It’s been two years since Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then we've deployed €4 billion to support the country’s economy.
Here are just some of the way we continue to help Ukraine.
