As Russian drones killed nine civilians across Ukraine, including a child on a bus, JD Vance stood in Budapest calling Zelenskyy's behavior 'scandalous' and framing the war as haggling over 'a few square kilometers.' Washington had just brokered a ceasefire — for Iran.
ICE has admitted to using 'zero-click' spyware that can read encrypted messages on any phone. The agency won't disclose the legal authority — or who might be targeted beyond fentanyl traffickers.
JD Vance touched down in Budapest to rally for Viktor Orbán, breaking decades of US diplomatic convention by openly campaigning in another country's election. Orbán — the far-right's global icon — trails by double digits.

The Supreme Court erased a contempt of Congress conviction at the Justice Department's request — removing precedent that strengthened one of the few tools lawmakers have to compel testimony from the executive branch.
