Viktor Orban systematically weakened the pillars of Hungary's democracy--courts & rule of law; the media & universities. But he couldn't deny Hungarians the final word. Orban is defeated.
Big loss for his allies, @realDonaldTrump & Putin.

Big loss in court for Trump Administration. Federal judge rules Pentagon and Hegseth must restore press access

Judge says he's ruling against the "attempt by the Secretary of Defense to dictate the information received by the American people, to control the message so that the public hears and sees only what the Secretary and the Trump Administration want them to hear and see. The Constitution demands better. The American public demands better, too"

ICE says both deaths were suicide attempts. Victor Diaz's family doesn't believe he tried to take his life.
