Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

Atlanta was shaken Friday afternoon when gunfire erupted near the CDC and Emory University, killing 33-year-old DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose. The incident triggered lockdowns at both campuses as officers rushed to the scene. The suspected gunman, later found dead inside a CVS building, has not yet been identified. Authorities have not confirmed whether his injuries were self-inflicted. Officer Rose, who joined the force in September, leaves behind a wife, two children, and one on the way. No civilians were injured, though several were treated for stress and anxiety.

The United States witnessed a powerful wave of resistance as the ‘Good Trouble Lives On’ protests swept through over 1,600 locations nationwide. Named in honor of late civil rights icon John Lewis, the movement calls for citizens to rise against injustice, authoritarianism, and policies they deem harmful to democracy. In Manhattan, New York City, demonstrators blocked intersections outside the ICE building at Federal Plaza in a dramatic sit-in. Major cities including Atlanta, Oakland, St. Louis, and Annapolis saw thousands rallying against Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, healthcare cuts, and broader policies.
The protests come in the wake of recent unrest in Los Angeles, where National Guard troops were deployed amid clashes. Organizers say the protests aim to honor John Lewis' legacy and challenge rising threats to civil liberties. Protesters carried signs reading “No Kings,” a symbolic cry against authoritarianism and government overreach. This marks one of the largest mass protests in recent years.
