Genuinely wondering how this will go down with a lot of new folks who voted for the President Elect due to Gaza. The former President is doing exactly what he said and keeping up with the promises made to his core constituency.
BREAKING: President-elect Donald Trump names former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as nominee for ambassador to Israel.

One thing I am looking forward to is finally a clear immigration reform package in Congress. That has been something Republicans have made a serious priority talking point, I genuinely want to see movement on that.
You know you don’t need take right? You can just acknowledge a result and move on, that’s a how a democracy works. Plus the bigger result is Senate and possibly House.
For reference, I strongly suggest #Pakistani audiences to take time to read through the national security strategy and the national defense strategy to see how often the country is mentioned.

I'm going to start using Shyam Saran's line on @CNBCTV18News when anyone asks me for predictions re US or Indian elections results:
"I'm not a political astrologer"
Big day for the #Pakistan American organizations/political groups. They have bet their relevance on these elections. By tomorrow we will have a clearer picture of where they stand in terms of actually making a policy impact beyond small election cycle donations.
Pakistan diaspora, at least particular groups, have really worked hard to build this perception that the US can essentially order #Pakistan gov't to do anything. This understanding is not only comical but also heavily devoid of reality. So, like I said, big day today
#Pakistan heading in an unfortunate direction. The ruling party alliance needs to acknowledge at this stage, that the idea of democracy is basically buried six feet deep. Today they are favorites, tomorrow when the Generals need a change or a fall guy, it would be them suffering
No. henceforth, #Pakistan is not even a competitive authoritarian regime. It is a quasi-authoritarian regime. Expect further hardships, a more desperate populace, and more restrictions on travel globally.

#Pakistan's national airline gets one bid. That too from a fairly unreliable real estate company whose sole project is still waiting to take off.
Thing is, good news is not the kind of news that gets public reactions, it does not sell. Rage bait is what works on social media for clicks and likes, so stuff like this will get buried because this is boring.
Inflation has been cooling for two years, and fresh data released on Thursday showed that trend continued in September: Prices climbed just 2.1% compared with a year earlier. nyti.ms/3YOjIne
There is so much work to be done within desi communities in the US about political education. I hope political groups are taking note. Organizers are needed for the community because the kind of disinformation that’s rampant for now is disturbing.

In a rare move, the Pentagon has strongly pushed back against misinformation spread on social media that falsely suggests U.S. troops have been authorized to use force against American citizens during the election. apnews.com/article/election-…
