After defeating Orbán’s Fidesz, Péter Magyar must confront economic strain and competing global alliances By Vladimir Kornilov, Russian political scientistEuropean liberal elites are rejoicing: Viktor Orban’s conservative government has fallen.

These changes will go into effect beginning January 1, 2027, applying to all new and renewed licenses at that point. However, the state already requires an individual to prove their citizenship status when applying for a license. Currently, the…

Conservative lawmakers are throwing up roadblocks to a GOP-only immigration enforcement funding plan. But party leaders are hitting the gas anyway, hoping to quickly flatten any skeptics as they race to meet a June 1 deadline set by President Donald Trump. At stake is the final endgame of the 58-day-and-counting Department of Homeland Security shutdown. The Senate has passed the biggest piece of the funding puzzle, and top GOP leaders are now embarking on the multistep budget reconciliation process to sidestep Democratic opposition and fund enforcement agencies for the rest of Trump’s term.
