Orban's Hungary third worst rule of law decliner in the world in 2024/25 & indeed the worst backsliding country in the past decade

EU's reaction: @ec.europa.eu rewarded Orban with €10.2bn in Dec 2023, no a single 💶 was clawed back/frozen & @consilium.europa.eu has kept doing nothing on Art 7 etc...

I still want an intentional walk to be a negative out

Was that a political statement ?

Particularly championship series!

It's especially rich for Clarence Thomas to suggest that the Constitution requires public schools to obtain parental consent before acknowledging trans students' identity.

Such a right would be rooted in substantive due process—a concept Thomas dismissed as completely illegitimate in Dobbs.

Weren’t the right-libertarians trumpeting that country’s new governance less than a year ago?

Can some brave National Guardsman take the CIC into custody?
— former Sailor who’s sick of Trump using the Constitution as toilet paper.

If Trump dies in office, Miller’s going to try to seize power with such awkward but ferocious ambition that it’ll make Al Hague look like Cincinnatus.

I don’t use Twitter, so hope you’ll post here some.

The one in the back? Yeah.

That was the point of the Ghorman Massacre subplot in Andor

Is “liberaltarian” roughly somewhere in the green part of the political compass ?

Who else is up there?

The 2013 VRA case?

Remind me, how are big rigs getting more expensive?

Any wild theories?

The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt.

Uh…Covid?

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Yes, a Fuentes follower did.

He believes in centrism, no matter what the cost to whom

“LFC” = Liverpool?
