"Tisza is on the verge of a parliamentary supermajority." Polls closed in Hungary. No exit poll, but 21 Research Institute’s Apr 8–11 exclusive survey for @Telexhu shows Tisza leading Fidesz 55–38, with Our Homeland around the 5% threshold.
Y’all are my favorite couple 😁
I'm no expert on Eastern Europe, but what I had understood from close observers of politics there not so long ago was that democracy in Hungary seemed far less salvageable than in Poland.
Yet now the democratic opposition in Hungary apparently has won an electoral victory ...
Was this insider trading?
It's been a month since NYU Langone ended care.
Letitia James deadline came and went, NYU still has not restarted care.
Mamdani refuses to answer questions from trans journos over the real steps he can take, like directing H+H to absorb patients or enforcing human rights law.

Today I want to tell you about my favorite sandwich, where to get it, and some other very important information you might not have heard before.
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
So good
Or perhaps someone else can buy this paper from Bezos—since he seems to view it as an albatross—and donate it to a foundation established to run it as a nonprofit. Bezos gets a capital loss, the buyer/donor is a hero, the rest of us get a world class newspaper. The Knight Institute is ready to help.

A bit of good news.
Judge Ana Reyes in D.C. has temporarily blocked the Feb. 3 termination of TPS for Haitians. Without TPS, many Haitian immigrants in the U.S. could face deportation back to Haiti.
NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...
Very similar graph to the one immediately above. The red box (10-10:40am CST) now contains six highlighted tweets, among the biggest (most retweeted) in the graph. The text of those tweets is below. @JoshEakle (1/24/2026, 10:01:57 AM CST): 🚨BREAKING It looks like ICE just shot and killed someone else in Minneapolis. https://t.co/dWjNk5PKRz 69023 Followers | 8973 Reposts | 44523 Likes http://twitter.com/JoshEakle/statuses/2015092719589224802 @covie_93 (1/24/2026, 10:07:37 AM CST): WTF.

The victim was UNARMED when he was shot multiple times. This is a state execution.

But here's the thing. The most highly retweeted tweets from this period… ON X... EVEN AFTER DHS WAS TRYING TO SHIFT THE NARRATIVE… contained frames that were sympathetic to the victim, and blaming ICE for the “murder” or "execution" of the victim. In other words, the RW spin machine wasn’t working.
Within 4 hours of ICE (actually CBP) killing Alex Pretti, the data suggested that the right wing spin machine was having trouble gaining traction, even on their home turf over on X.
Here's a Substack I wrote analyzing X data from that time. katestarbird.substack.com/p/another-mu...

PSA for the media: If you treat the “Johnathan Ross had internal bleeding” lie like it has any credibility at all, you sacrifice yours.
It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.
The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
🚨 America is at an inflection point tonight.
Tens of thousands marched against Trump today, and tonight, Trump launched a historic investigation into the Federal Reserve Chairman. youtu.be/YlcbJYCBnSA
I’d like to put a little piece of tofu or avocado inside. Also, I like to take like a half a sheet of Nori and just wrap the whole thing so good.
