Kelly vetoes 24 bills and 31 budget items, signaling a renewed Kansas budget showdown

Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed 24 bills and 31 budget provisions in a clash with a Republican‑led Kansas Legislature, after signing a budget that removed a lawmakers’ pay raise, a large loan and a no‑bid contract she deemed wasteful. She framed the budget as flawed but necessary, urging collaboration; lawmakers will consider overrides as they push on issues from voter access and privacy to mental health funding and education mandates amid ongoing budget pressures.

Orbán’s Ukraine loan veto sparks EU showdown

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán threatens to block the EU’s €90 billion loan for Ukraine, risking a public veto clash at an EU summit and delaying Kyiv’s aid as Brussels weighs punitive options; the stalemate is linked to Hungary’s energy security via the Druzhba pipeline and comes ahead of Hungary’s election, shaping how Brussels may respond to Kyiv’s funding need.

Hobbs veto blocks Charlie Kirk memorial license plate in Arizona

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill to create a Charlie Kirk memorial license plate, arguing it would politicize government and fail to bring people together, despite the bill’s approval in the Senate (16-2) and House (31-23); the plate would have directed a portion of the $25 fee and $17 annual donation to the Conservative Grassroots Network Special Plate Fund tied to Turning Point USA.

Wyoming signs two-year budget, vetoes dozens of items

Wyoming signs two-year budget, vetoes dozens of items

Gov. Mark Gordon signed Wyoming’s two-year budget but used line-item vetoes to strike roughly two dozen items and footnotes, arguing it preserves separation of powers between the legislature and the executive. While the Legislature largely backed the governor’s funding priorities—such as state employee pay raises and preschool costs—the SUN Bucks summer meals program was cut, and footnotes directing agency spending drew vetoes. Funding for the Wyoming Business Council and the University of Wyoming was shaped by compromise, with conditions and review requirements added. The two chambers must still consider potential overrides (requires two-thirds in both houses). The unified budget ended up about $53 million shy of Gordon’s full recommendations, reflecting ongoing debates over state appointees, program scope, and reforms.

EU eyes legal and supply-path options to unlock Ukraine loan amid Hungary veto

EU leaders are scrambling to lift Hungary’s veto on the €90 billion Ukraine loan, weighing fixes to the Druzhba oil dispute—such as accelerating Ukraine’s repairs, pushing the Adria/JANAF alternative, and exploring legal routes like the passerelle and other treaties—while Kyiv seeks rapid transit restoration and Brussels weighs timing ahead of looming April deadlines.

EU's €90B Ukraine loan: signature isn't a Hungary veto bypass

Claims that Hungary blocked Ukraine's €90 billion loan were false; European Parliament President Roberta Metsola signed the loan on behalf of the Parliament as part of the process, but final adoption requires unanimous approval by all EU member states. The loan aims to fund Kyiv's budget and defence, while Hungary's objections relate to the Druzhba oil pipeline dispute and are not overturned by this signature.

Orbán backs expert probe of Druzhba pipeline amid veto fallout

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán proposed a fact-finding mission to the Ukrainian section of the Druzhba oil pipeline to assess damage from a Russian attack and help resume deliveries, while admitting political difficulties caused by his veto of a €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine. The mission would involve Hungarian and Slovak experts; timing and Kyiv’s approval remain unclear as EU officials push repairs and consider an Adria route as an alternative.

EU unity under strain as Hungary vetoes Ukraine loan over energy row

EU leaders condemned Hungary for vetoing one element of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine amid a Druzhba pipeline energy dispute, arguing the move breaches sincere cooperation and threatens bloc unity. With the other two loan regulations approved and sanctions on Russia still pending, the EU is pressing Hungary to respect collective decisions while also debating voting-rule reforms, as Kyiv stresses the urgency of funding and Hungary’s election timing influences its stance.

Kansas Gov. Kelly vetoes bid to regulate transgender restroom use

Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a GOP-backed bill that would require sex-segregated restrooms and locker rooms in public buildings, ban changing gender markers on licenses and birth certificates, and impose fines or lawsuits for violations, with limited exceptions for young children and caregivers; supporters say it codifies norms, but Kelly calls it poorly drafted and costly for local governments, and lawmakers may override the veto amid a broader wave of anti-trans legislation in Kansas.

Trump's first vetoes of second term target bipartisan infrastructure and water bills, sparking bipartisan tensions

President Donald Trump issued his first vetoes of his second term, blocking bipartisan infrastructure bills for Colorado and Florida, with critics alleging the vetoes are acts of political retribution related to Colorado's handling of Tina Peters' case. The Colorado bill aimed to reduce local funding for a water project, and the Florida bill sought to expand a protected area, both vetoed citing concerns over costs and interests. Congress may override these vetoes, but partisan tensions remain high.

President Donald Trump vetoed two bipartisan infrastructure-related bills, citing the need to save taxpayer dollars, marking his first vetoes of his second term.
