Multiple synagogues and private homes in Queens were vandalized overnight with swastikas and other antisemitic graffiti. @Lynn4NYC, @PhilWongNYC and I are at one of the sites, Congregation Machane Chodosh, in Forest Hills now. When rabbis and congregants arrived to pray this morning, they expected to be met with their usual loving community. When a family woke up, they were prepared to begin an otherwise normal week. Instead, they were met with terrifying signals of hatred and threats of violence. We have visited some of these locations and are in contact with the NYPD, which is investigating and searching for at least four individuals responsible for the terrible incidents. The graffiti will be removed once the investigation is complete. With antisemitism on the rise here and across the globe, we will always stand up for our Jewish community and fight back against hate.

We are devastated to hear about the passing of John Sterling, a WFAN and Yankees radio icon whose voice was synonymous with an entire generation of Yankee fandom. Rest in peace, John ❤️

@ZoltnGborSzcs1 yes. Me and old man typing fast on an iphone

@Nkabcen But his name is Krastev.

It is worth every minute of your time to listen to this fascinating interview by Márton Gulyás at Partizán with Ivan Kratsev. Kratsev is without question one the smartest commentators on comparative politics in Eastern Europe,and he shows it again here.

Utterly devastating from @robertshrimsley in FT. This should shame us all.

@SamJDean Arteta just has taken too long to experiment. Zubi has needed more time off. Rice is the key at 6, and MLS proved what he can do in midfield

On his first senior start in midfield, Myles Lewis-Skelly completed 64 of his 66 passes, regained possession six times (the joint-highest of all Arsenal players) and won four fouls.

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

@kalmantibs And greetings back to you from Segesvár, (Transylvania) Ro. One of the seemingly endless place where Hungarians long ago lost a battle.

Greetings from the northermost tip of Szentendre Island near Visegrád, Hungary. Amazing to see the remnants of the Visegrád Castle, built in the 1240s, perched on the hilltop overlooking the Danube. A blessed view, indeed. 🙏🏼🌍🕊️

If you are going to read one more thing on the Hungarian election, this should be it. Written by someone who truly knows the country and has not just dropped by for a coffee.

@aldatweets 4 monumental errors 1 Fiscal restraint on all EU in 2008/9 2 Decommissioning Nukes 3 Relying on Russia for energy 4 Misjudged the societal impact from refugee crisis

I will die on this hill: Angela Merkel broke Germany and probably Europe. In the wreckage of post-2008, she was uniquely positioned to choose social welfare over austerity. She chose austerity. Centrists loved her. But the fascists are now stronger than they’ve been in decades.

@BeilinsonOrel That is really roughing it, but someone must step up & sacrifice. Good luck on that ordeal

Just submitted my first study abroad proposal! 12 days: Bergamo-Garda-Verona-Padua-Venice-[Trieste]-Zadar-[Dubrovnik]. The Republic of Venice, its dissolution, and its afterlives: the Habsburg Empire, Italy, Yugoslavia... [bracketed cities for logistical comfort and comparison]

@JonHeyman @Lynn_Henning Seaver in the home uniform with the afternoon light shining and his perfect delivery. This image is what nostalgia is made of.

This is the point where it became obvious we needed the ABS Challenge system. Look at these pitches called balls!

@JimCosta_ @Lynn_Henning Michigan did win the Championship making 3 outside the paint for the whole game. Can be done, but not a great tactic.

How about this stat: The Pistons only made 2 shots outside the paint in the 2nd half #DetroitBasketball

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

MAGA authoritarianism is pretending the president is “joking” when he makes death threats, but comedians are somehow “shaping public policy” when they make jokes.

The big argument about which side is “worse” on political violence is whether the reaction of mainstream high-ranking GOP officials to Paul Pelosi was more appalling than the reaction of mainstream high-ranking GOP officials to the murder of Melissa Hortman.

Orbán-linked oligarchs are transferring tens of billions of forints to the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Uruguay, and other distant countries. I am aware that Hungary’s National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV), based on reports from banks, has suspended several high-value transfers linked to Antal Rogán’s circle on suspicion of money laundering. I call on the leadership of NAV to immediately freeze these stolen funds. I once again call on the Prosecutor General, the National Police Chief, and the head of NAV to detain the criminals who have caused thousands of billions of forints in damage to the Hungarian people, and not to allow them to flee — before the formation of a TISZA government — to countries from which extradition is currently not possible. I am also aware that Orbán-linked oligarchs have begun selling TV2 and other media outlets at below-market prices, including the Rogán-linked propaganda flagship, Lounge Event Kft. I call on responsible domestic and international investors to refrain from acquiring assets linked to the mafia; otherwise, they may find themselves facing the National Office for Asset Recovery and Protection. I have also been informed that several oligarch families have already left the country, and that the Mészáros family is expected to travel to Dubai in the coming days. According to reports, several influential oligarch families have already withdrawn their children from school and are arranging trusted security personnel for their departure.

@krispursiainen This should be simple. If Knicks are better with McBride, he should play more. This is completely a sunk cost fallacy whether Bridges should play because of the trade cost.

Mikal Bridges' struggles extended into Game 3; the Knicks' starters were better with Miles McBride. That leaves Mike Brown between a rock and benching someone his front office traded five first-round picks for: dailyknicks.com/mikal-bridges-…

@DNewsHungary no

@Telexhu Well it does make de Wever’s job harder. People like him who have enjoyed hiding behind Orbán’s intransigence. Now he will have to be more open in working in Belgium’s pro Ru business interests.

According to the Belgian PM, there is a bit too much euphoria over the Hungarian PM's departure, and he suggested that it might not necessarily be easy to agree on everything with Péter Magyar either. telex.hu/english/2026/0…
