Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust, we cannot fail to try. He/Him.

In the 60 Minutes interview, CBS edited out some of Donald Trump's off-the-rails rants. According to @newrepublic, "he rambled about his ballroom, how hot his Secret Service agents are, and how the No Kings protests are just like the Ku Klux Klan."

War Games. They only way to win is not to play
Lots of Republicans seem big mad that their party didn't spend enough money to win the redistricting referendum in Virginia.
FYI: The other way they could have won the redistricting referendum in Virginia would have been not to start it by gerrymandering Texas/NC.

Pope Leo XIV in Bamenda, Cameroon, today: "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

Texas drivers on rising gas prices:
"I blame Trump directly.... I don't think it's right that we the people of America should have to suffer for that. It's all about power, greed, and control. And we're paying for it."

"For all of the intellectual dressing, Hungary has ended up looking more like Vladimir Putin’s mafia state, while Poland and the Baltic states, which adopted more classic market solutions, are on course to be richer than Spain and Italy."

A Hungarian official once offered me serious money to publish Spectator content translated into Hungarian. Am attempt to get us on Orban's payroll.
For 16yrs he has sought to build a global network of 'illiberal conservatism'. My column on the results:-

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take up civic action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran.
“When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders.
“It is not enough to say we have prayed. We must also act. For it is very possible that the negotiations will fail because of recalcitrance on both sides, and the president will move to re-enter this immoral war.
“At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison:
“No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”

🤔
Why did Orban lose?
Affordability.
Hungary’s economy has been a mess because of his corruption/cronyism.
People will tolerate a corrupt autocrat, turns out, but not if their own lives are getting worse.

"In 2010, Poles were poorer than Hungarians. Today they are 11 percent richer."
"If Viktor Orbán is a freedom fighter, clearly, he is not a very good one. In fact, the sharp deterioration in political and individual liberties that Hungarians have suffered under his watch has rarely been matched in other democracies." cato.org/policy-analysis/how…

Stop calling him a master strategist. He may have wrecked his economy, failed to change a regime and had to make a massive "goodwill gesture", but he has NOT taken 1.3 million casualties doing it.

The current economic crisis has propelled Florida to dead last in the nation for renters.
This is a generational inflection point for our state. We must have new solutions, new investments, and commit to an economy that works for everyone in our state. We're deep in a crisis.
New study ranks Florida dead last for renters in the U.S. with housing costs consuming 37% of incomes wptv.com/money/real-estate-n…
