This is hugely important and cannot get lost. As Liz Cheney said, Jim Jordan was the congressman most involved with Trump’s plans to steal the election. Not only is he unfit to be Speaker, he should be expelled from the House, as I wrote in an @amprog report last April.

It appears there's some confusion on here about Jim Jordan's role in Trump's insurrection plot. So let me leave these here for you:

Every month or so Ossoff comes out of hibernation to instruct the entire party how to message correctly
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Ossoff: "The president apparently promised pardons for the entire WH staff, which I guess is the kind of thing you do when you run the WH like a casino. Now, maybe the West Wing is too busy placing Kashi and Polymarket bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt ... in Donald Trump’s America, the rich get tax cuts, the well-connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices."

Hungary was not a full-blown dictatorship. Rather, the regime was a semi-autocracy. In such regimes, democratic breakthroughs remain possible. And we are witnessing that democratic breakthrough today! (I wrote about this topic 20 years ago in @JoDemocracy)

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.

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He didn't campaign as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Republican Senator Roger Wicker, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee: “The freedom-loving people of Hungary have voted decisively in favor of democracy and the rule of law. I congratulate them and Péter Magyar, the next prime minister of Hungary. They’ve rejected the malign influence of Vladimir Putin, the world’s most malicious dictator, and decided their own future.”

An officer screams, “I will f*cking kill you,” at an unarmed 17-year-old leaving a Minnesota anti-ICE protest after the teen calmly asks why he has to get out of his car. Then the officer falsely claims the teen was “reaching for a gun”. PAXIS.app helps you prepare legally and constitutionally for any encounter with ICE agents or law enforcement.

We must wait until every vote is counted but this signals the beginning of the end of the global authoritarian movement of gangster kleptocracy. Trump learned from Orban how to hack democracy. Hopefully we will learn from Hungary how to not just defeat it, but utterly repudiated it.

Trump said there is no money for anything except for war. Then he offered to bail out Hungary's economy. See how dumb you MAGAs are?

A breathtaking aerial view of the enormous crowd that gathered last night for the “anti-regime” concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, just ahead of tomorrow’s pivotal Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands filled the square, passionately chanting “Russians go home.” 🇭🇺

ICE detain 2 elementary students—deport them within 48 hours. 'This week ICE crossed a new alarming line," said lawyer. "Children are being targeted." They were deported with nothing but the clothes on their backs—to place where they have no home, no belongings, nor resources. 6-year-old Denis and 11-year-old Genesis—both students at Burton Magnet Elementary School—were detained with their parents while attending an asylum hearing. Their phones and documents were taken away before being driven away in unmarked van with dark tinted windows—so they couldn't even wave goodbye to their family. "If we do everything according to the law we can still get kidnapped in the middle of the day and taken away... What are people supposed to do?" Incident occurred in Durham, North Carolina.

Orbán and his team have started spreading Russian-style disinformation. They are sending out messages falsely claiming that our candidates are withdrawing. TISZA is not withdrawing anywhere; we are running with a real chance of winning in every constituency.
