BREAKING: Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has called Péter Magyar to concede defeat in today's election.
With 53.45% of votes counted, Magyar's TISZA looks set to secure a super majority.
A defeat for Putin, a defeat for Trump, a victory for Europe, and above all, a victory for the Hungarian people.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social was a true partner in the fight against privatization of our public schools. We beat back vouchers 5 times before our legislators caved to the Abbott corruption tax paid by a Pennsylvania billionaire.
After last week's primary election results, Texas AFT COPE has endorsed @jamestalarico.bsky.social for U.S. Senate.👏 His dedicated work on the Public Education Committee during multiple legislative sessions has made Texas AFT confident that Rep. Talarico will stand for education employees in D.C.

Some good news… We’ve been advocating for a working class tax cut like this-getting money into working families people’s pockets. I’m glad that it’s moving with leadership from Sen Van Hollen. Working people need a break- and this is a fantastic way to do it.

Democrat’s plan would eliminate federal income taxes for half of U.S. workers
Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.

The gross misuse of deadly force by our government against us is unconscionable.
This administration's statements belie what we can see with our own eyes.The federal govt's actions today—both the killing and the cover-up—are a disgrace. Since the president will not, we must call on Congress to act to create accountability 4 this federal malfeasance.
