An Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is a weird thing to tout, since Lebanon isn't a combatant. There is no Lebanese fire for the Lebanese government to cease.

Ukrainians hacked yesterday's secret meeting of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade on drone production in which Russians cited problems in obtaining even basic components, all now being reliant on China.

Destroying the USA

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President.

The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.

Holy shit! Trump's decision to go to war against Iran has backfired spectacularly at home. A new NBC News poll shows just 33% of Americans approve of his handling of the conflict, with 67% disapproving — including a majority who "strongly" disapprove. Historian Stephen Wertheim put it sharply:

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

We should be learning from other countries...

The Posse Comitatus workaround: ICE expands into domestic policing Congress gave ICE a $75 billion budget with few strings attached, allowing it to operate beyond its intended scope and bypass traditional checks on power, raising constitutional concerns.

I think this is correct. Congress gave Trump the personalist, violent paramilitary force he's always wanted, but without the statutory hurdles, internal accountability, resistance from the courts, and institutional pushback that would come with deploying the actual military.

This. This. This.

“On April 11, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act, which included the Indian Civil Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act, one week after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.”

I assume just about everyone knows this but just in case! George Soros fled Hungary with his Jewish family as a teenager to escape literal Nazism

Congratulations to the people of Hungary and new Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Y'all have defeated authoritarian fascism, autocrats, and kleptocracy. Viva democracy! Vive la liberté! 🙌💪👏✊

Orban, Beacon to the Right, Concedes Defeat in Hungary’s Election

This is huge news! The vote is a rebuke of a Hungarian authoritarian who has closed universities and stifled the press. It is also a rebuke of Putin, after whom Orban modeled himself.

Looks like Hungary was Hangry….

People celebrating freedom in Budapest!

This is great news for Ukraine as Hungary was a blocker on aid and potentially joining the EU.

This is bad news for Israel as Hungary was a blocker for sanctions against Israel for its actions.

This is great news for the world.

If Elon went to Hungary in his cheese-hat to endorse Orban, would it have made a difference? 🧀🪤

And Hungary was the model for Project 2025. We can win. And let all the billionaires who bought media outlets watch them turn to dust.

crowds celebrate election victory of peter magyar in budapest hungary on 12 april 2026

Péter Magyar’s victory speech directly repudiated 16 years of Orban's LGBTQ+ exclusion:

"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others"

LGBTQ+ futures in Hungary shine brighter tonight 🏳️‍🌈🇭🇺

#Equality #lgbtq+

peter magyar is a center right conservative and he didn't march in this protest but it was actually pretty important for his coalition building that he didn't repudiate it either and said any trouble that came of it would be orban's fault

Celebrating Hungary with a little Moholy-Nagy 🇭🇺

Hungary did it and we can too

But every election we don’t it will become harder to achieve

Seems JD Vance showing up in Hungary to campaign for Putin asset Orban , cost Orban to lose by another 3%!

Watching in real time as two fascist regimes are crumbling. Funny that the stench of Trump cost his buddy a loss.

The Hungarian people are celebrate tonight!

Sending love & support!
👏💙👏💙👏

Magyar ran on a platform largely focused on domestic issues, accusing Orban of mismanaging Hungary’s weak economy and railing against a government procurement system that he says has enriched Orban’s family members and political allies.

Rubio Emphasizes Trump’s Support for Leader of Hungary Before Tight Elections

Vance wasn’t the only top Trump aide who went to Hungary to try to boost Orban before the election. Rubio traveled there in February and promised more economic support to Hungary if Orban remained in power. Here’s my story from Budapest: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/w...

The People of Hungary 🇭🇺 have done what the People of the United States 🇺🇸refused to do... they showed up and voted against a dictator.

31.60 % voted for Trump

30.66 % voted for Harris

37.74 % sat on their asses & betrayed their responsibility as a Voter
