Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

I'm fairly gobsmacked by the number of people who profess surprise that Orbán was funding CPAC. Did you know of his ties to Heritage and Project 2025? One of the most telling, tho, was he funded Rufo and the racist Trump tried to install at State, Jeremy Carl. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...
Three right-wing ideologues signed contracts that may require they register as foreign agents for a Hungarian government-funded organization – and that the organization is possibly altering language in contracts to avoid this – according to a review of their contracts with the organization.

Conservative activist Christopher Rufo, right-wing writer Michael O’Shea and Claremont Institute senior fellow Jeremy Carl signed contracts with the Hungarian government-funded nonprofit Batthyány Lajos Foundation (BLA), which maintains the Danube Institute (DI), a Hungarian think tank. The contracts are from 2022 and 2023.

These contracts require either a speech, media appearance, reports or – in the case of O’Shea – a minimum of two articles in U.S. or European media. They cover issues of migration, LBGTQ+ rights, critical race theory (CRT) and Hungary’s relations with regional allies. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has used all these issues to win influence with the international conservative and far-right movements.

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law

I’ve posted this screenshot a lot, but Orban was a key player in Peter Thiel’s decade-long plan to subvert democracy worldwide. That’s why JD Vance humiliated himself by stumping for him. The fact that Orban conceded is a huge blow to the international Nazi network.
Orban, Thiel, and Kurz.

Hungarian authoritarianism was their model and now it has fallen. I hope this is the harbinger for the end of maga, though as we learned on J6 they don't always respect the democratic process.

As a Christian, should the pope not be promoting peace over murder? The 6th Commandment says Thou Shall not Kill. The commandment strongly focuses on the sanctity of life. Trump attacking the Pope for promoting Christian values while exercising free speech is simply beyond the pale. #Pinks #OneV1

Péter Magyar defeated the 16-year authoritarian reign of Victor Orbán! 77% of Hungarians turned out to vote for a new path forward, providing the 2/3rds majority in parliament to actually undo Orbán's pro-Putin, anti-EU, illiberal damage. The people of Hungary are free! Voting was their power! ✊🏼🗳
A photo of Hungary's new prime minister.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded
election defeat after 16 years in power, with the
opposition on course for a landslide win

Péter Maqyar is set to be the country's new
prime minister - with two thirds of the votes
counted, his party is set to win a massive
majority in parliament

Record numbers turned out for an election
which was seen as pivotal to the future of
Hungary and Europe

Orbán's defeat will come as a blow to his close
allies Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump

Magyar, a former Orbán ally who became his
fiercest critics, has promised closer ties to the
EU and an anti-corruption agenda

Translated from Hungarian Show original
Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the
TISZA party on their landslide victory. It is important when a constructive approach prevails.
Ukraine has always strived for good-neighborly relations with every European country, and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary.
Europe and every European nation must strengthen; millions of Europeans yearn for cooperation and stability.
We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as for the sake of Europe's peace, security, and stability.

I'm not saying this rhetorically—I'm speaking literally here. At what point do Republicans admit that Trump has lost his mind and replace him with Vance through the 25th Amendment? Never? Do we need to see a nuclear weapon dropped on a city of 10 million innocent civilians first?

Charlie Kirk on Pope Francis:
But the biggest one is the papacy. I can't get over the idea of this Marxist who calls himself the head of your church being a representation of Christ our Lord. I mean that as someone who loves the Catholic impact on the world that says it openly and by the fruit, you will know it and you have very Marxist fruit. Why should I care at all what that guy from Argentina has to say? Well, because you care what your pastor has to say, yes, but if my pastor starts saying crazy things, I find a new pastor. So if your pope starts saying crazy things, maybe he's not the pope and maybe that's a bad representation.
