Looks like the last bastion is gone. The Hungarians are about to learn the true meaning of “you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” And the rest of us in Europe have just lost our only real stronghold against the EU. Devastating.

Je viens de m’entretenir avec Peter Magyar pour le féliciter de sa victoire en Hongrie ! La France salue une victoire de la participation démocratique, de l’attachement du peuple hongrois aux valeurs de l’Union européenne et pour la Hongrie en Europe. Ensemble, faisons avancer une Europe plus souveraine, pour la sécurité de notre continent, notre compétitivité et notre démocratie.

As Governor, I know I cannot control global energy markets, or the price of eggs, or whatever the president decides to post on social media. But there are tangible steps we are taking right now to tackle high costs where Virginians feel them most: healthcare, energy, and housing. On healthcare, I signed bipartisan bills to prevent insurance companies from overruling doctors, to invest in our health care workforce, and to stop predatory middlemen from driving up the cost of prescription drugs. On energy, I signed bipartisan bills to protect ratepayers from covering the cost of infrastructure improvements, incentivize energy independence, and help localities invest in new energy technologies. On housing, I signed bipartisan bills to let localities adopt affordable housing programs, cut red tape, and incentivize construction. These bills — like so many of the others I have signed — were passed with support from Democrats and Republicans alike. Because nobody asks for your political party affiliation when you’re filling a prescription, signing a lease, or paying a monthly utility bill.
