‘I have not spoken to any women…’: Katie Porter on her connection to Swalwell accuser influencer Cheyenne Hunt

Katie Porter is on the radar as she benefits the most as Eric Swalwell quits the Guv bid for California in the wake of the allegations of sexual misconduct.
As Eric Swalwell quit the California Guv race in the wake of the sexual misconduct allegations against him, Katie Porter benefited the most but the fellow Democrat distanced from the behind-the-scenes of the major exposé on Eric Swalwell. The decision to quit the race came after Swalwell's campaign held the ground for days, denying all the allegations, calling them false and outrageous. Cheyenne Hunt, an attorney and former California congressional candidate, last week announced that she had been working with a number of women who were in the process of coming forward and sharing their stores of sexual harassment and alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell himself. After Swalwell withdrew from the race, the long association between Hunt and Katie Porter is now out in the open as Hunt attended the same law school where Ka..

Shortly after the blockade began at 2pm UTC, US president Donald Trump said on Truth Social: “If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED.”
US ⁠Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Monday it would enforce a blockade in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea east of the Strait of Hormuz that would apply to all vessels, regardless of flag.
In a note to seafarers, they said that any vessel entering or departing the blockaded area without authorisation would be “subject to interception, diversion and capture”.
“The blockade will not impede neutral transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz to ⁠or from non-Iranian destinations,” it said.
They added that the blockade would encompass “the entirety of the Iranian coastline to include but not limited to ports and oil terminals”.

The inside story of how a visit by Pope Francis helped lead to the crushing defeat of Viktor Orban

People poring over the crushing defeat of Viktor Orban’s government in Hungary – the most right wing in Europe – will draw the conclusions that his antipathy to the EU, closeness to Vladimir Putin, failure to address younger voters and a sense of political corruption were at the heart of his downfall.
Yet while this may be the case, all these factors were also true about Orban when he won an equally crushing victory in the 2022 election, a result which seemed to leave him untouchable.
In fact, he was arguably in a politically stronger position this time than he was in 2022, with his friend Donald Trump in the White House rather than a political enemy in Joe Biden.
He even had the US vice president JD Vance doing a last-minute cheerleading act at a rally on the eve of the poll, although polls suggest this may have hurt rather than helped.
What changed in the four years since that win, which left the opposition to his Fidesz party almost wiped out?
The truth is that the unravelling beg..

Orbán era swept away by Péter Magyar’s Hungary election landslide

Orbán era swept away by Péter Magyar's Hungary election landslide4 hours agoShareSaveAdd as preferred on GooglePaul KirbyEurope digital editor in BudapestWatch: BBC reports from Hungary as Viktor Orbán concedes defeatViktor Orbán's 16 years in power is over and a system condemned as an “electoral autocracy” lies in tatters, defeated by a 45-year-old former party insider who convinced a majority of Hungarians to bring it to an end.
“We did it,” Péter Magyar told a crowd of cheering supporters beside the River Danube, overlooking Budapest's magnificent parliament on the other side. “Together we overthrew the Hungarian regime.”
Preliminary election results, based on more than 98% of counted votes, put his Tisza party on course for an extraordinary 138 seats, with Orbán's Fidesz on 55 and the far-right Our Homeland on six.
The landslide will not only allow Magyar to overturn Orbán's increasingly unpopular domestic policies, but reset Hungary's global relations..

Katya Adler: Jubilation in Budapest will be felt in Europe but leaves Moscow cold6 hours agoShareSaveAdd as preferred on GoogleKatya AdlerEurope editorLea Guedj/BBCBudapest's iconic Chain Bridge links both sides of the city – beautiful Buda with vibrant Pest – across the river Danube. At night, the lights that illuminate the bridge shimmer like mini moons in the waters below.
Normally, it's a favourite spot for tourist selfies – but not this Sunday.
Following a historic election result that unceremoniously booted Prime Minister Viktor Orbán out after 16 years in government, the bridge was lit up in red, white and green – the colours of the Hungarian flag.
Supporters of the triumphant Péter Magyar and his Tisza party said they felt they were getting their country back. A sense Magyar reflected back to them in his victory speech.
“We did it,” he said. “We brought down the Orbán regime – together we liberated Hungary. We took back our homeland! Thank you! Thank you all!”
