The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

For the record; Melania did not meet HER husband in 1998… she met Marla’s husband.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary. The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

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.

"In its current degraded state, the DOJ is purely reactive, capable only of defending the policies of an aging demagogue and targeting his enemies for retribution. In short, Bondi presides over a department of weaponization and nothing else." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Pam Bondi is breaking the DOJ

And will take generations to put it back together.

“Older Black Americans are twice as likely as white patients to develop [dementia]. Just as it is not illegal to research breast cancer in women, Mezuk said, it should not be illegal to research dementia in Black and lower-income white Americans.” www.michigandaily.com/news/researc...

Ridiculous BBC headline: "Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing". Nothing to do with corporate welfare, contracts for cronies, Govt paying higher energy bills, HMRC not collecting £500bn since 2010, Tory legacy. Just blame workers wanting decent pay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing

Borrowing was £17.4bn last month, the second highest October figure since monthly records began in 1993.
