Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

If Pete Hegseth is replaced, will the Senate and the administration actually attempt to force "Secretary of War" into the official record for the next nominee, or will they finally drop the act and admit they are still confirming a Secretary of Defense?

The price of Urals crude oil increased from $51 per barrel to $91 since February 27. The United States eased sanctions on Russia to allow India to buy oil. The Trump regime has rescued the Putin regime from financial ruin and further empowered Russia to wage war on the West.

Might Trump's threats over Greenland have been a preemptive move to thwart the participation of our allies in the war in Iran; ostensibly affording Trump a free hand to install leadership that would serve his personal interests?

Is Donald Trump simply shuffling around his "rodeo clowns" with Noem? And he can't let his rodeo clowns just roam free, they need to be kept within the corral. They know too much.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Now that Trump says Venezuela will hand over 30-50 million barrels of oil, with proceeds of sales to be controlled by him, I want to reiterate: He's inviting our oligarchs to reap great riches by buying into his scheme of imperial hemispheric domination.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
