At a time when a guy is showcasing the worst of humanity, hoping to get a Nobel Prize…? RIP Jane ⤵️

Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar: “I will not call Trump. But if he, or anyone from the U.S. administration, reaches out to us, we will be available.” (Trump has yet to congratulate Magyar on winning the election.)

Most important takeaway from Hungary, where 70% of the population voted, and by a wide margin voted for democracy: Turnout is the ballgame. Americans take note. Read more here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahe…

Artemis II splash down well executed! After its lunar mission, Orion fires its engine to drop out of orbit, jettisons the service module, and hits Earth’s atmosphere at 25,000 mph, using a heat shield to survive 5,000°F temps and a “skip” maneuver to control g-loads. At 7km altitude it deploys 2 drogue chutes to stabilize, then 3 main parachutes at 3km to slow to 20 mph before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Navy teams on a recovery ship then move in, secure the capsule with a stabilization collar, and extract the crew.

@nze_Anambra @Sciencepostcard The short clip is the dramatic final splashdown and recovery phase. Here's the full NASA live stream of the entire re-entry, atmospheric skip, parachutes, splashdown, and crew extraction (about 2 hours): youtube.com/watch?v=6No6LC…

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.

The chant “Europe, Europe, Europe” rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar @magyarpeterMP is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!

Hungary's opposition leader Peter Magyar walked through a sea of Hungarian flags and blazing torches on April 12 as supporters celebrated his Tisza party's landslide election victory over veteran nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

BREAKING: Hungarians are celebrating the ousting of Viktor Orban from power. Only Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and JD Vance are crying tonight. Let’s go.

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. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Epstein Survivor Juliette Bryant just released a message to Melania Trump: “Hello Melania Trump. My name is Juliette Bryant. I’m an Epstein survivor. You want girls to testify under oath, well here I am testifying that everything I said is true. Unfortunately a lot of the girls who testified died. Maybe it’s time that you and your husband testify too.”

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

JD Vance had a horrific week. He was humiliated in Pakistan, and in Hungary his pleas to elect authoritarian kleptocrat Viktor Orban were met by Hungarians telling him to go fuck himself. All this on top of being the most hated VP in modern history. 😂🤣👇

THE CANADIENS JUST SCORED THREE GOALS IN 55 SECONDS 😳

Epic View from Orbit: Artemis II’s Fiery Return Captured from the ISS! Astronauts aboard the International Space Station caught this jaw-dropping photo — a blazing streak of plasma slicing across Earth’s atmosphere as NASA’s Artemis II mission came roaring home.On April 10, 2026, the Orion spacecraft Integrity completed its historic ~10-day crewed lunar flyby — the first since Apollo 17 in 1972. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego at 8:07 p.m. EDT.That brilliant, glowing trail? It’s most likely the uncrewed service module as it separated and burned up in the intense heat of re-entry. Meanwhile, the crew module — protected by its advanced heat shield enduring temperatures up to ~5,000°F — carved through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds before deploying parachutes for a picture-perfect ocean landing.Imagine floating 250 miles above Earth, watching fellow humans return from the Moon in a streak of fire. This single image captures the raw drama, danger, and triumph of deep-space exploration like nothing else.From Gagarin’s first orbit 65 years ago to this moment — humanity keeps pushing the frontier farther. What an incredible time to be alive in the space age! Tag a fellow space lover who needs to see this!

In her first public remarks since returning to Earth, NASA astronaut Christina Koch - the first woman to travel beyond low Earth orbit - shared what moved her most about the 10-day journey around the Moon. It wasn't the records broken, the craters named, or the solar eclipse witnessed from the far side. It was something she saw through a small window on the way home. "When we saw tiny Earth, people asked our crew what impressions we had," Koch said at a welcome home ceremony in Houston on Saturday. "And honestly, what struck me wasn't necessarily just Earth, it was all the blackness around it. Earth was just this lifeboat hanging undisturbingly in the universe. I know I haven't learned everything that this journey has yet to teach me, but there's one new thing I know, and that is, planet Earth: You. Are. A. Crew." 📷© ABC News #archaeohistories

Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, making the stunning admission that Trump has destroyed America's relationships with all of its allies. There is not a leader in the world who trusts Trump. NOT FUCKING ONE. 😳👇

This week: The lesson we can learn from Hungary, Rep. Swalwell leaves the California Gov race, Pam Bondi won’t be testifying about Epstein this week, and Trump is not well tonight as he attacks Pope Leo and portrays himself as a deity on Truth Social. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

Trump just made the case for his own blockade — accidentally. “We have much more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. Boats are coming here and filling up. We don’t have to go through Hormuz.” Read that carefully. If America has so much oil that the world doesn’t need the Strait — why is the blockade necessary?
