People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this manâs almost supernatural weakness for strength.

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

WSJ Opinion: Trumpâs Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any Wars He has my support in 2024 because I know he wonât recklessly send Americans to fight overseas. By J.D. Vance, Jan. 31, 2023 2:21 pm ET
âMy entire adult lifetime,â Vance wrote, âhas been shaped by presidents who threw America into unwise wars and failed to win them.â www.wsj.com/articles/tru...

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
"The Shadow President," @andykroll.bsky.social's deep dive into Russell Vought, has just won a George Polk award for political reporting.
The piece chronicles Voughtâs rise from the Senate mailroom to his position as one of the most influential players in the Trump administration.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...
Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:
"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
Itâs not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldnât have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
Itâs about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isnât. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
