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.
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.
2/2 then create (after going through all of the projects' top level package.json etc type files) a set of master files (one per type that has at least one dependency), so that I can easily drop these into socket.dev for scanning for flaws. Here are the supported manifest
types: <supported list>"
this was a nice way to quickly get a brief across all my active local projects: I told claude "so i have a socket.dev subscription that lets me scan repos for vulnerabilities by dropping in various dependency list files. I would like you to look at the supported manifest files, and 1/n
why do the biggest loudmouths and basket cases never have anything to say when it comes to war criming and war profiteering?
prediction: it won't be long before it comes to light that some nationstate actor is using project Mythos to find 0-day exploits via unauthorized access to one of the 40+ orgs chosen to be a part of Glasswing
In Copenhagen a few weeks ago, I was shown a Danish app that tells users which products are American, so that they know not to buy them. At the time it was the most popular app in the country.

But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.
So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...
Imagine the Republican reaction if this happened over Bruce Springsteen’s house with a Democrat in the White House. Fox would be hyperventilating about it 24 hours a day for a week.
It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed."
I wrote about it here.
Not only is it true now. It's been true since the start of the year. I wrote about this on Feb 26 keydiscussions.com/2026/02/26/f...
How the Iran war will cement China's superpower status

The NYT quotes a young conservative operative without identifying him as such.
On the left, the NYT quotes him wondering why anyone would think Trump is different from any other president. And then on the right, is that kid's Substack insisting that Trump is different from any other president.
Difficult to think of a more humiliating moment for the US. Certainly worse than Iraq or Afghanistan. You have to go back to the fall of Saigon to find anything comparable.
The day after Judge Brann’s order, Judge Quraishi asked the U.S. attorney’s office if it wanted to delay the sentencing of the defendant who had planned to plead guilty to the child pornography charges, Francisco Villafane. Judge Quraishi said that if the government were not requesting a delay, the line prosecutor on the case, Daniel Rosenblum, would have to be prepared to answer questions about his office’s leadership structure, sometimes referred to as the “triumvirate.” Mr. Coyne, a veteran of the office, accompanied Mr. Rosenblum, a relative newcomer, to the Monday hearing. But Judge Quraishi, upon determining that Mr. Coyne had no formal right to appear in the case, told him that he could pass Mr. Rosenblum notes but could not address the court. “I’m not going to hear from you, Mr. Coyne,” he said. “If you want to sit there for moral support or hand Mr. Rosenblum Post-its or whisper in his ear, I’ll let you do that as supervisor.” The judge then proceeded to ask Mr. Rosenblum questions, first about the details of Mr. Villafane’s plea agreement, saying that the prosecutor had operated without having all the evidence in hand and was preparing to agree to allow the defendant to serve significantly less time than guidelines suggested. “How did the screw-up happen?” Judge Quraishi asked. “Was it your office, the U.S. attorney’s office, the F.B.I. or both? How did you execute a plea agreement without knowing all the evidence?”
Just a reminder that the Trump/Bondi mishandling of US attorneys' appointments has real-life consequences.
In this case, offering a light prison sentence to an admitted child pornography defendant.

it's ridiculously hard to get anyone to care about an app these days, but I managed to break through to my people. I dropped Premium to $1 for a few days to 🎉 v9.0. What I wrote for my (required) AI disclaimer here was kind of interesting (my app can't be vibe coded)👀

you can't claim patel didn't know when TMZ radiohosts knew ahead of time about the Iran attacks. Seriously WTF. www.tmz.com/2026/02/28/m...
Can MAGA techies who still think any of this is America First explain?
Trump/Hegseth operational security: at Joe’s Stone Crab, a restaurant a 2-minute walk from the White House, someone was having a conversation about the attacks on Iran that were going to start in 6 hours. Loud enough for the founder of @TMZ.com to recount it in real time with his podcast cohost.
AIPAC spent $150k to air an attack ad about 16-year-old me.
Screenshot from Overcast with an episode description: Anthropic faces a standoff with the Department of War, citing legitimate concerns but being deemed misaligned with reality.
Ben Thompson is wild one. He refuses to comment on the illegal Iran invasion (while clearly hinting that he supports it) and then goes on to explain why during the Biden administration he opposes the gov't telling companies what to do, he adores it in the Trump admin. Every…time…

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...
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.
