If he resigns, it will create a vacancy for the remainder of the year. Seems like a good time to remind everyone that when my predecessor passed in March 2025, @GregAbbott_TX set our election for *8 months later* and left our majority-minority, strongly Democratic district without representation for 334 days. We’ll see if Governor Abbott keeps the same energy when a Republican-held seat becomes vacant.

The Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation is almost entirely funded by Orban, consider the key individuals and links, such as funding Toby Young's Free Speech Union which drives so many culture war stories in the media

It's a fascinating story from @FraserNelson about how the Orban regime tried to bribe its way into @spectator. But I'm wondering (a) why I didn't know about it till now (b) whether anybody in the British media was more easily seduced.

"For the first time in the history of this war, Ukraine has captured an enemy position using only ground robots and drones. The occupiers surrendered. The operation was carried out without infantry participation and with zero losses on our side." - Zelenskyy.

@BogataTimar Listening to a BBC report from Hungary today she said this was a major factor. Orban shifted the electoral advantage to the rural areas where he had an advantage, so that’s exactly where Magyar went & won. Amazing.

Anyways. I'm glad you have learned his name. Its correct pronunciation is PEEter MAdjar. Extra points for saying the surname first. We will have plenty of time to pick his policies apart. But I'd like you to be aware that what he's done is for the history books. 🇭🇺

He's just given his very first press conference. He's not even PM yet. He has opinions and agendas, because he's a politician. He will further discuss them when the time comes. The fact that he was up there for 3 hous giving answers to actual questions is already a miracle to us.

Is he a center-right, conservative person? Yes, and? Nobody cares. He believes in a democratic state and the rule of law, and his job is to take Hungary back there. He has declared he does not care what one believes in, or whom one loves, as long as they love Hungary.

If you don't care to see how Hungarians now cry on each other's shoulders, sing patriotic songs in crowded subway cars, honk the horns while wave the flags, proudly for the first time maybe ever, I don't know what to tell you. This is a watershed moment. And Magyar took us here.

He showed people all the good that is in Hungary. He inspired them to start talking to each other. After 16 miserable years of being told they do not belong, people started feeling pride for their homeland again. That one can be a proud Hungarian and reject Orbán's mess.

In 2 years he has visited 327 towns, 517 times, visited 161 parishes of the 174, always went to the crowd, always shook hands, always took selfies. He often managed to visit 6 or even 9 towns in one day. Almost every day he was out with the people, telling them not to fear.

His movement was infested with spies. State security were deployed to break down his IT system and perform data leaks. His supporters were harrassed. The entire country was flooded with billboards spreading lies about him. He was threatened with a leaked sex tape. Never wavered.

Magyar was harrassed and provoked constantly. His phone was tapped with military spy software. His girlfriend turned out to be a Fidesz agent. AI slop was generated about him and fed to voters on the daily. Russian agents helped create smear campaigns against him.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the guy just rid us from Orbán. You know what it takes to win an election against Orbán? It's not just making a party and campaigning. The rules were massively rigged. Hungary was gerrymandered to oblivion. The regime played dirty.

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here. Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch. Let's go.

@MeidasTouch Just hilarious. Almost certainly, Trump had no idea how offensive it was to Christians because Trump's a million miles away from anything even remotely Christian personally. But even funnier that the defense is Trump was simply too dumb and out of touch to know better.
