In his first substantial conversation with a foreign journalist since being elected, Péter Magyar, Hungary’s new Prime Minister, discusses the rewriting of the Hungarian constitution, the implications of his victory, and his upcoming struggle to lead his nation out of a period of authoritarianism. newyorker.com/news/the-new-y…

This is a very good, very long piece. Excerpting some of the new/juicy bits (but you should read the whole thing!)
New interviews and closely guarded documents, some of which have never been publicly disclosed, shed light on the persistent doubts about the OpenAI C.E.O. Sam Altman. @AndrewMarantz and @RonanFarrow report.

For your weekend listening pleasure, let me recommend our latest @KnowYrEnemyPod episode with @andrewmarantz—it's about podcasts, bros, Trump's appeal to men, and what they all might have to do with each other. Rogan, Theo Von, Hasan, Chapo, etc are all in the mix. Link below:

“It’s never inevitable at the time”
Writing Melting Point made me see the 20th century was always teetering on the edge. I’ve always obsessed over forks in the road, butterfly effects, what ifs, if onlys, some would say to an unhealthy degree! Here is my obsession in book form

Had a great time talking to the bros @andrewmarantz & @MatthewSitman about podcasts, bros, and bro podcasters on @KnowYrEnemyPod podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Today I am on the @ezraklein show, making the case that Trump is losing his bid to topple American democracy nytimes.com/2025/05/16/opini…

Terrific @andrewmarantz piece in latest New Yorker, carefully outlining the ways in which Hungary lost its democracy (for now), and how it does and does not resemble the U.S. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

Other countries have watched their democracies slip away quietly, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are. nyer.cm/b6ta6aI

Quoted in the @andrewmarantz piece today in the New Yorker on the parallels between Orbán's Hungary and Trump's America, especially re: clamping down on universities and media

Wonderful @andrewmarantz piece on the Hungarian playbook of our time. “All talk of playbooks aside, an autocratic breakthrough is not something that any leader can order up at will, by following the same ten easy steps.” newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…
Reupping this evergreen tweet, no rewording necessary. Will be on @WNYC with Brian Lehrer in a sec

After the 2024 election, Democratic strategists argued that the Party needed to make inroads with young voters—especially young men. @andrewmarantz talks to Hasan Piker, a leftist Twitch streamer whose audience skews young, male, and disaffected. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/L7…
ALT A quote from Hasan Piker that reads, “At no point was I, like, ‘Only I, a dickhead on the internet, am qualified to teach these kids why we need a functioning welfare state.’ I just felt like no one else was really in these spaces trying to explain these things. Certainly not the Democrats.”
How did the Democrats lose the vibe wars? It's sort of complicated, but also sort of not. Reading this piece will take about 1/4 as long as a Rogan episode (great ROI!). Grab a Celsius and lock in 🚀🦍💪
In last year’s Presidential election, young men swung dramatically to the right. Can the left win them back? nyer.cm/CCUqDGk
(thanks as always to the best fact-checkers in the business, who really went above and beyond with this one. and a h/t to @rudenshiold, who pointed me to Chadvice, among other things!)
I don't think the world needs another Why Trump Won take, at least not from me, and obviously there's no one answer. But I do have a piece in print this week, and here are a few paragraphs from it that may be relevant.
full piece is here. It's not entirely about this election, but it's not not about this election. Again, I'm not offering any of this as The Answer. There is no skeleton key. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Andrew Marantz reports on Tucker Carlson, who just wants to live like it’s 1985.

Is Trumpism a kind of fascism? Also: who cares? My meta-analysis (including, if you make it to the end, something actually resembling a conclusion)

For this week's @NYTmag I profiled the historian Robert Paxton, who talked to me about the social roots of Trumpism, and why he changed his mind about the movement
