Le Monde: Thousands protest in Hungary against Orban's 'foreign agent' bill
Thousands protested in Budapest against a bill requiring a register of foreign-funded organizations, seen as a move toward authoritarianism by Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Critics, including students and journalists, argue it threatens independent press and civil liberties.
Protesters expressed fear that the legislation mirrors tactics used in Russia, signaling a troubling shift for Hungary within the EU. Many young demonstrators, having only known Orban's leadership, voiced concerns about their country's democratic decline.
Fox News: Democrats are scheming to spread the tax misery of blue states nationwide
A bipartisan group of lawmakers from blue states is seeking to lift the cap on the SALT deduction, which could lead to middle-class Americans in red states subsidizing wealthy taxpayers in high-tax states like California and New York. This change would reverse the fiscal restraint achieved by capping the deduction at $10,000.
Restoring the SALT deduction primarily benefits affluent households earning over $200,000, while middle-class families would gain nothing. This move threatens to undermine competitive federalism, forcing states like Florida to bear the costs of fiscal irresponsibility from blue states. Congress should consider repealing the SALT deduction instead.

Forbes: Trump’s Major Tariff Flip-Flops: Bessent Suggests 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Will Return For Countries That Don't Negotiate In 'Good Faith'
The Trump administration's trade policy has seen significant inconsistencies, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clarifying and backtracking on President Trump's tariff strategies. Initially, Trump proposed sweeping tariffs on foreign imports, claiming they would be reciprocal, but later shifted to a more complex approach that included exemptions and negotiations.

This has led to confusion regarding the administration's intentions, with various officials offering conflicting statements about the nature and permanence of the tariffs.
