I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman.
Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.
Agreed. The only time I’ve ever been upset was when I lived in the SF Bay Area. There’s a thing that audiences do when there is something offensive in a film- they hiss. Instead of asking for their money back (or knowing enough about the film in the first place to not go.) It’s performative bs.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
give jd vance some credit. he couldn't get regime change in iran, but he did in hungary.
JD Vance is heading to the US and is ready to offer his assistance to any candidates back home.
JD Vance should campaign in all 50 states for all GOP candidates.
One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
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.
Laura Thornton: Lots of reasons but one thing I’ve learned from my decades abroad is that nothing infuriates and unites people more than corruption and poor economy. And Orban’s govt had it in spades. Corruption should be the center theme of every campaign, and how it is hurting you.
no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
Every win, no matter how seemingly small, no matter how far away, is a cool refreshing drink after crawling through the desert of evil we’ve witnessed this last year and a half. Fuck the fascists. Freedom for all.
Send him to Moscow.
Free advice to the opposition: It's very important that the GOP send the warm, likable, super-relatable JD Vance out on a national tour to campaign for MAGA in the midterms. He's got the touch!
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

“Wanna bet?”
In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets
This is what leadership looks like.
Einstein Visa? Or Epstein Visa?
The answer is implicit in the question: Putin has ownership over both countries.
The public DOES have a right to know.
I totally believe things have gotten worse at the Alamo Drafthouse, but the very first time I went, in 2011, and the servers interrupted the climax of the movie to settle the check with me, I knew that place was never going to be for me.
