"A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free." The Declaration of Independence (1776) Seems relevant now.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

Really helpful new data @centeronbudget.bsky.social @joannalefebvre.bsky.social extends what researchers have known since the early 00’s Most voucher users were never in public school. These are subsidies for existing choices. And add new costs for states.
