Orban is, of course, not telling the truth here - the Commission’s decision does not affect "what we can read and say". BTW Hungary (like every EU Member State) voted for the Digital Services Act.
Twitter in the past 48 hours has been like watching a remedial version of SPECTRE convene a meeting in real time.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.
Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.
This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

Turns out that the reminder from Congressional Democrats that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders was timely. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The Moment to Pick a Side Has Come

As a Muslim, at a time of division Mamdani has brought much of his city together. He spoke for Mexican abuelas & Ethiopian aunties. “No longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do”. It is shameful that not one of our UK leaders has been able to do the same.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.
