The people of this nation should not have to wake every weekend to terrifying announcements from the President of the United States. Trump is a madman who is making our country—& the entire world—less safe & less prosperous. Congress needs to be in DC to impeach & remove him immediately.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

In 1956 my mother was working in Paris and her Hungarian boyfriend left to fight in the revolution. This country has fought so hard to be recognized as an independent nation and one that's not ruled by communists or dictators. I am proud of Hungary overcoming 2026 obstacles and being free of Orban
