Thank you, Hungary.

visits the pope → pope dies leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide Man’s got a streak.

The EU right now.

The importance of long-term #election observation in accordance with the methodology of @osce_odihr has rarely been as obvious as in #Hungary today

Loved this exquisite @liamjscott portrait of the Popal family, Washington culinary royalty. A pure joy to read. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…

This is gonna be in every dem ad

I wanted to make a meme about Iran but then I realized this applies to almost anything.

Da schmunzelt der Feinschmecker 👇

You can't make this stuff up, truly Our war plan has been so successful that we blew up our war plan on the first morning of the war

Vance now at war with the entirety of the Trump family, plus the Witkoff family. And I thought it was cold when Obama gave Biden the Iraq file…

The only thing longer than my pause to think was their silence to his joke 💀

The Coast Guard pilot who left Noem’s blanket behind was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home wsj.com/politics/polic…

"While his father Steve Witkoff acts as President Trump’s all-purpose special envoy, 32-year-old Zach Witkoff now heads up World Liberty, which has doled out at least $1.4 billion to both families" extraordinary reporting from @WSJ wsj.com/finance/curren…

Save the date

Interesting choice of date. Same day the #UNSC is scheduled to hold a high level meeting on #Palestine. Meant to be presided over by #UK FM Cooper.

Nicely done, @slantchev.

The horrific scenes on US streets will only accelerate this trend. Tourism was already collapsing. Boycott or fear of attending World Cup in play. Boycotts of US goods and divestment already underway. We are losing innocent lives, billions of $ and best allies for no good reason.

Okay so, 1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution 2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents 3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen 4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

Anita Orbán is an experienced diplomat and at the same time the highest-achieving Hungarian female leader in the international business world. The new foreign affairs leader of TISZA brings an insider’s perspective on diplomacy, foreign and energy policy, as well as decision-making at major international corporations. Anita Orbán has returned to her homeland from a top managerial position in London to strengthen the TISZA team as the foreign policy leader in our preparations for governing. Anita began her career in Germany, then lived and studied in the United States, before returning to Hungary to put her knowledge to use and start a family. She is the first Hungarian to earn a doctorate from the United States’ oldest school of diplomacy, the Fletcher School in Boston. She is the only Hungarian diplomat whose academic book was published in America and is available in university libraries worldwide. Anita Orbán is an internationally recognized expert in energy security. As Hungary’s ambassador-at-large for energy security (2010–2015), she was heard by both the European Parliament and the U.S. Congress as a leading expert on the topic; in the latter, she represented the Visegrád countries. She is the only Hungarian diplomat who, after leaving the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also reached the top of the business world. Alongside István Kapitány, she is the highest-achieving Hungarian business leader. From 2015 to 2020, she worked in the American liquefied natural gas industry, first at the world’s second-largest LNG company, Cheniere, and then at a startup (Tellurian), where she was responsible for Central European, Southeast Asian, and North African markets as well. In 2021, she switched sectors and moved toward digitalization. From 2021 to 2023, she served as Deputy CEO and Deputy Chairwoman of the Board of Vodafone Hungary, and then as a Public Affairs Director at Vodafone Global until recently in London. She is originally from Berettyóújfalu, where she lived until the age of 18. To this day, she considers herself a local patriot and is deeply grateful for what she received from her parents and the Hungarian countryside: a sense of Hungarian identity, perseverance, diligence, and love of country. She was a journalist and head of the foreign affairs section at Heti Válasz., worked in the civil sector as well, co-founder of several organizations, and winner of numerous awards. For the past five years, she has continuously appeared on the Forbes magazine list of the most influential Hungarian women. She is most proud of her three children. Her core values are lifelong learning and good humor. And what she firmly believes in is that public life can be responsible, serving, and humane.
