Viktor Orban systematically weakened the pillars of Hungary's democracy--courts & rule of law; the media & universities. But he couldn't deny Hungarians the final word. Orban is defeated.
Big loss for his allies, @realDonaldTrump & Putin.

Big loss in court for Trump Administration. Federal judge rules Pentagon and Hegseth must restore press access
Judge says he's ruling against the "attempt by the Secretary of Defense to dictate the information received by the American people, to control the message so that the public hears and sees only what the Secretary and the Trump Administration want them to hear and see. The Constitution demands better. The American public demands better, too"

TRUMP TODAY: There was an election in Texas? What?
TRUMP YESTERDAY:
Feb 1
Q: In Texas, a Democrat won a special election in an area you won by 17 points. What is your reaction?
TRUMP: I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where?
Q: In Texas
TRUMP: I'm not involved in that. That's a local Texas race. You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot
Community note
In a long Truth Social post, Trump publicly endorsed the Republican in this race and urged Republicans to vote for her. x.com/ronfilipkowski…
