Fascinating meeting: Modi with his entire foreign policy team (including the External Affairs Minister), while Elon Musk shows up with his kids.
Wonder what the men in suits are thinking?

How should people concerned about attacks on democracy consider the importance of supporting institutions that uphold democracy, beyond just focusing on individual rights?

Munkács isn’t in your country!
Outrageous news: The Hungarian national anthem, flag🇭🇺, and colors were banned at the year-opening ceremony of Ferenc Rákóczi II High School in Munkács, Transcarpathia.
Máté Paczolay, spokesman for the Hungarian Foreign Affairs Ministry, stated that this measure contradicts bilateral agreements, decisions of the Venice Commission, and other language and minority charters. Therefore, Hungary cannot support Ukraine's EU accession.

It is a pleasure to have you dear Christopher and we are looking forward to a dynamic conversation. I already have many questions and comments about presidentialism as an institutional design from the theory of deliberative democracy. Will learn much! academia.edu/35560662/El_r%C…
If you're interested in Latin America's politics and presidential crises, stop by today at 15:15h at Leiden University. The panel will feature @eszmulewicz, @LusaNetto2, @ailuonuo, and myself. @LeidenLaw

Wow! Judge Beryl Howell is not putting up with nonsense from Rudy Giuliani. Even more crucially, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have been vindicated. I hope they now see how many people condemn the way they were used to score political points and honor their service.

Even if - or perhaps especially if - you don't think you want to listen to Tucker Carlson interviewing Viktor Orban, you should listen to this. It's the clearest explanation in English of Orban's view of the world. It's impossible to understand Hungary without this.
