European diplomats have been quietly restricting classified material to Hungary for years. A Washington Post report explaining why just made it public.
The broadcaster founded to counter Nazi propaganda now faces accusations of producing its own — with political appointees allegedly dictating coverage to serve the White House.
The prime minister called it a chance to modernise Italy. Voters saw something else entirely — and the 54 percent who rejected it broke sharply along age and party lines.
European officials say Hungary's foreign minister spent years phoning Moscow during breaks in confidential meetings. If true, a NATO ally was briefing an adversary on alliance deliberations in real time.
The far-right Alternative for Germany more than doubled its vote share in Rhineland-Palatinate, proving it can win in the country's affluent west — not just its post-communist east.
Emmanuel Grégoire's victory in Paris extends a quarter-century of left-wing rule, but the far right's capture of Nice and a string of provincial towns reveals a France splitting along urban and rural lines a year before the presidential election.

The Pentagon wants $200 billion in supplemental funding after just three weeks of conflict with Iran — a price tag that clashes sharply with the White House's insistence the war is winding down.
A 31-year-old DOGE operative told Department of Energy staff to assume the nuclear safety regulator would do "whatever we tell the NRC to do." Then he started handing out startup hats to the inspectors.
TSA agents are quitting over missed paycheques and airport lines stretch past two hours. The president's solution: send in ICE, an agency untrained in airport security, to arrest immigrants from Somalia.
The man who transformed the FBI after 9/11 and then led the most politically charged investigation of the century is dead. The sitting president says he's glad.
Ninety-two men who inherited the right to make British law just lost it — not through revolution, but through orderly parliamentary procedure. The seats date to 1066.
Joe Kent ran America's counterterrorism apparatus. He says the intelligence never supported the case for war with Iran — and an FBI investigation may be the White House's answer.
Two Polish men married in Berlin in 2018. Seven years later, Poland's top court says Warsaw has to acknowledge it — not because Polish law changed, but because EU law demanded it.
Alexia Moore faces felony murder charges after taking misoprostol at 22 weeks pregnant. The legal theory prosecutors used sidesteps Georgia's own abortion law — and tests how far post-Dobbs criminalization can reach.
Tania Warner had a work visa, a Texas driver's license, and five years of legal U.S. residency. ICE detained her and her seven-year-old daughter at a routine checkpoint — then offered them self-deportation.
While the U.S. wages an active air war against Iran, a federal judge ruled the Pentagon's press credentialing policy unconstitutional — after outlets from the AP to Fox News refused to comply with it.
Three weeks into the Iran war, the president says he's considering an exit — while thousands more Marines ship out, the Strait of Hormuz stays shut, and oil sits at $112 a barrel. What 'winding down' means remains unclear.
The Iran war is three weeks old and already has a $200 billion invoice. The national debt crossed $39 trillion the same week. Someone is going to have to explain the math.

The director of the National Counterterrorism Center — a Green Beret with eleven combat tours and a Gold Star husband — says the administration's case for war doesn't hold up. The White House calls him weak.
The man whose routers three federal agencies consider a national security threat just applied for an express-lane green card from the same administration running those probes. The price: $1 million.

Federal reviewers spent five years unable to verify Microsoft's cloud security, called the product 'a pile of shit,' and authorized it the day after Christmas. The FedRAMP process is supposed to protect government data. A ProPublica investigation suggests it protected Microsoft's market share instead.
Democrats can't agree on whether to cut taxes like Republicans, spend like New Dealers, or just keep saying 'affordability' until it works. The Atlantic has a word for it — and yes, we're aware of the irony.
The NCTC director accused Israel and "its powerful American lobby" of manufacturing the case for war with Iran — then posted his resignation on X. No counterterrorism chief has ever done anything like this.
