There's a difference between claiming a mandate and having a mandate. Journalists and some academics assume that Trump now has a mandate for anti-intellectualism. An unforced error; no need to adopt such a far-right framing. As of now, no evidence higher ed. played a real role in the election.

The deputy head of the Hungarian Interior Ministry presented the buses that would transport "illegal migrants" from the Hungarian-Serbian border to Brussels. This would be the government's response to the €200 million EU fine, which is due to be paid on 17 September.

The two US vice presidential candidates, Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance, have little in common. The contrast in their worldviews can be seen in their treatment of Hungary’s controversial leader, Viktor Orbán.

Tim Walz calls Viktor Orbán a dictator. For JD Vance, he’s a role model.
Opinions about the Hungarian prime minister show how much the two vice presidential candidates differ in their thinking.
