Bangladesh has had two heads of state since Sheikh Hasina, yet both were too spineless to call Gaza a genocide or urge to stop the slaughter of innocent people, especially women and children.
This lady, however, had the courage to call on the world to act and stop the genocide.
Couldn't agree more.
If we had elected @BernieSanders back in 2016 we would each have about $10,000 more in our bank accounts right now thanks to Medicare for All.

People lost the ability to afford non-essential goods like clothing long ago.More people are falling below the poverty line every day.
Now,reports show that even cheap seasonal winter vegetables are seeing weak demand as families cut back on spending. Is famine coming?
He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

This idiot spent nearly half a billion dollars to turn Texas blue! Losing the Senate is one thing, but seeing @GinaHinojosaTX defeat @GregAbbott_TX would be HUGE.
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

I was really hoping you'd pull off a win against all odds. With little money and even opposition from within your own party, you fought an uphill battle and came so close. It's a tough loss, but you have every reason to hold your head high.
Thank you, Florida.
We didn’t get the result we fought for tonight. I’m not going to pretend that it doesn’t hurt.
But I want y’all to hear me. What we built together is REAL. Every door you knocked, every call you made, every dollar you gave and every friend you brought to the polls proved that working people in this state are ready for something better.
That movement isn’t going anywhere, and neither am I.
The fight continues.
Love, Angie 💗

Bangladesh’s government failed to handle garment workers’ protests through dialogue and political will, resorting instead to police force and ruling-party muscle.
Now hundreds of factories are shut, millions of workers are absent, and the industry is paying the price.
Businesses across Bangladesh are struggling because of this government's incompetence and its self-destructive deal with the US. It acts like a puppet instead of defending the country's interest.
With over 30 factories shutting down, this idiot is selling people a load of BS.
Amid global turmoil and economic uncertainty, LDC graduation could have elevated Brand Bangladesh in global business and investment.
Delaying it by three more years means Bangladesh has been pushed aside while other nations move ahead. That was the globalists' agenda all along.
Today, the General Assembly has adopted a resolution granting Bangladesh and Nepal three additional years to prepare for graduation from the least developed country (LDC) category, recognizing economic uncertainties, external shocks and persistent vulnerabilities. This extension is not a retreat, but an investment in lasting progress. Graduation should advance development-not disrupt it. Success must be measured not by time gained, but by resilience built, reforms delivered and development secured.
