A longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and a thorn in the side of fellow EU leaders, Hungary’s Viktor Orban, has experienced a week of sharp reversals and swift political retreats. The EU started work on an initial round of sanctions against Moscow after Russia formally recognized Luhansk and Donetsk as Russian-backed separatist-controlled regions in Ukraine. But there was still one question to be answered in Brussels: Will Hungary and its nationalist leader Orban approve them? It was a key moment for Orban to show whether he was loyal to Russia, or the EU, said an EU official, who…

President Biden was heckled at his first State of the Union address by Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. During Biden’s roughly one-hour speech, Greene (R-Ga.) made faces and muttered, particularly when he spoke about administering vaccines to children, while Boebert (R-Colo.) earned greater gasps for slamming Biden’s Afghanistan exit by invoking the deaths of 13 US troops in an August bombing at Kabul’s airport. Greene said something in Biden’s direction when he spoke about ordering antiviral pills from Pfizer, but many of her utterances were inaudible to reporters. This critical behavior reminded to when House Speaker Nancy…

CPAC tends to attract members from the Republican Party’s more conservative wing, and its surveys aren’t always accurate predictors of the final nominee. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, for example, won a straw poll in Texas in…
