Great family. So happy for Jalen, Sandra & Rick. Not a surprise for any of us who knew Jalen during his Villanova years. He has always been an MVP. That 45-point performance last night was epic. And the Nova Knicks scored 72 of the 94 points. @CoachJayWright

This was Jalen Brunson and his mom and dad a decade ago after winning his first national title at Villanova.

ALT “Reporting isn’t treason. It’s foundational to a free press and the work that America’s founders wrote the First Amendment to protect. That includes making clear when the claims of government officials and the reality of their actions don’t line up. Our reporters, in this case, have been working carefully to provide the public with the fullest possible understanding of the reality of the military action in Iran. We will continue this important, constitutionally protected work.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times

When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized?

Bemutatom Magyarország kormányának három szóvivőjét: Szondi Vandát, Magyar Évát és Köböl Anitát.
A szabad sajtó nem ellenség, hanem a demokrácia egyik legfontosabb garanciája.
Egy kormány akkor szolgálja jól a hazáját, ha nem fél a kérdésektől. Ha nem elbújik az újságírók elől, hanem válaszol nekik. Ha nem propagandát gyárt, hanem tájékoztat. Ha nem alattvalóknak, hanem felnőtt, gondolkodó embereknek tekinti a polgárokat.
Magyarország új kormánya ezért partneri viszonyra törekszik a sajtóval. Amikor válaszolunk a kérdésekre, nem kegyet gyakorlunk, hanem kötelességünket teljesítjük. Mert a magyar embereknek joguk van tudni, hogy mit, miért és hogyan tesz a kormányuk.
A TISZA-kormány döntéseiről nem a Miniszterelnökséget vezető miniszter, hanem kormányszóvivők fogják tájékoztatni a nyilvánosságot. Emellett természetesen a miniszterelnök és a miniszterek is válaszolni fognak a sajtó kérdéseire.
Szondi Vanda Mátészalkáról érkezett. Pályáját a Duna Televízióban kezdte, később az RTL Hírigazgatóságán dolgozott tizenkét évig. Ez idő alatt háromszor tiltották ki a Parlamentből, mert kérdezni mert. Kétgyermekes édesanyaként különösen fontos számára, hogy gyermekeink ne gyűlöletkampányok, félelemkeltő plakátok és háborús uszítás közepette nőjenek fel.
Magyar Éva Nagykanizsáról indult. Újságírói pályáját a helyi televízióban kezdte, majd a Magyar Rádió győri szerkesztőségénél és az RTL-nél folytatta. Nyugat-magyarországi tudósítóként, később a Híradó politikai riportereként hosszú éveken át az emberek életét befolyásoló döntésekről tájékoztatott. Szeretné, ha lánya egy európaibb, békésebb, működő és emberséges Magyarországon válna felnőtté.
Köböl Anita Budapesten született, és közel két évtizede dolgozik műsorvezetőként. 2022 óta az ATV csapatában közéleti és aktuálpolitikai témákkal foglalkozott, munkáját 2024-ben a Szóvivők Média Díjával ismerték el. Édesanyaként pontosan tudja, miért fontos, hogy egy működő és emberséges Magyarországot építsünk. Hisz abban, hogy a jó kormányzás meghallgatással kezdődik: figyelemmel, megértéssel és valódi megoldások keresésével.
Ők hárman újságíróként tanulták meg, mit jelent kérdezni, figyelni, utánajárni és felelősen tájékoztatni. Magyarország kormányának szóvivőiként ugyanezt az elvet fogják képviselni: őszintén, felkészülten, tisztességgel.
Mert a magyar embereknek jár az igazság. Jár a tisztelet. Jár a nyílt, egyenes beszéd.

The FBI began investigating a New York Times reporter after she wrote about the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation, according to a person briefed on the matter. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/po…
ALT A quote card reads: “The FBI’s attempt to criminalize routine reporting is a blatant violation of Elizabeth’s First Amendment rights and another attempt by this administration to prevent journalists from scrutinizing its actions. It’s alarming. It’s unconstitutional. And it’s wrong.” — Joseph Kahn, executive editor of The New York Times

Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order.

Villanova’s Father John Lydon on CNN. Love it. @VillanovaU
Father John Lydon on Pope Leo: in Peru, we lived together during a time of terrorism and an authoritarian government, and violations of human rights. And he was in the main plaza of our city gathering signatures in defense of human rights, in the plaza surrounded by government buildings.
So this is not somebody who just woke up and decided, well, now is the time to speak about human rights. This is part of his identity…
He's going to continue to speak up based on the moral principles of the church, because that's what he was elected to do. That's what all the popes are supposed to do

“We ask questions of elected leaders to hold them accountable to the public they serve” - the role of a free press. TY @nytimes
ALT “President Trump’s derisive comments to a New York Times reporter today are the latest example in his pattern of answering fair questions with inaccurate attacks. Contrary to the president’s false claims, our extensive reporting and polling during the 2024 presidential campaign captured the race in full, including his advantages. Mr. Trump himself celebrated this polling and reporting numerous times. We ask questions of elected leaders to hold them accountable to the public they serve. Our entire White House team – including the talented journalist who posed questions to Mr. Trump today – reports with the same rigor and scrutiny on all who hold the office.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times
