1/3 Hungría vota el domingo, 12 de abril. Es la elección más importante de la UE en años — y una prueba de si una democracia puede recuperarse después de ser destruida desde adentro. Un hilo sobre el caso contra Viktor Orbán. 🧵

JAJAJAJA

Orbán isn't just betting on the US, says Sofia-based political scientist Ivan Krastev. On the latest episode of #GZEROWorld, Krastev breaks down how Beijing bought Hungary's EU veto power, and why that story may be coming to an end.

Gladden Pappin, a Harvard-educated political theorist who once predicted that Melania Trump would rule the U.S. as queen, is now on Viktor Orbán's payroll. He offers the best way to understand MAGA's infatuation with Hungary. I profiled him: theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?

Trump and his team are disclosing a LOT of detail about this rescue mission - how they found the US pilots, how they tricked the Iranians, CIA capabilities - when we are still at war, pilots are flying over Iran daily, and this could happen again. Seems like a bad idea!

BREAKING: Iran has sent a 10-point response (via Pakistan) to a U.S. proposal to end the war, rejecting a temporary ceasefire and instead demanding a permanent end on its own terms. Iran says a ceasefire alone is not acceptable → wants a lasting settlement. Demands include: End of regional fighting. Sanctions relief. Reconstruction support.

In my new piece in The New York Times today, I argue the Iran war has reached a point Washington still refuses to say out loud: either the U.S. escalates to a ground war—or Iran emerges as a new center of global power. Think about—what stops this future? nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

The Trump administration has shut down the CIA World Factbook, and there's much lamenting about the demise of a free, trusted source many people used to check basic facts about countries. cbsn.ws/4bSHAMT
