Gulf energy producers have lost all faith in Trump and are quietly accepting Iran's permanent control over the Strait of Hormuz — because the alternative, returning to war, would be worse, the WSJ reports. The global damage Trump has wrought with his incompetence is incalculable.

The media has not stinted on Paxton coverage, which is why he's known nation-wide. What really makes people mad, I think, is that none of it matters to Republicans. "If only there was more coverage" usually means "Why aren't people as mad as I am" Because Republicans are different, sadly.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
