Zelensky on Elon Musk:
We don't like his attitude toward this war when he thinks about how Russia is losing soldiers.
The aggressor — God bless that they lose soldiers who are on another territory, not on their own land.
I don't know whether he is serious or not serious when he is joking. These are not jokes that I can understand, but I understand jokes very well.
Trump's own internal polling showed that ending the Iran war and addressing inflation were the top priorities for Republican voters who were planning to sit out the midterm elections.
A survey conducted by Trump's chief pollster, Tony Fabrizio, two weeks before Election Day found that Republicans who did not intend to vote identified ending the war and tackling inflation as the two leading reasons that could persuade them to support the party again.
The same survey found that the MAGA Republican brand was more unpopular among voters than democratic socialists.

Foreign allies hope Democrats’ takeover of Congress will curb Trump’s foreign policy and ease tensions with Washington.
Diplomats are seeking renewed U.S. support for Ukraine, relief from tariffs, and greater congressional oversight of military action against Iran.
However, some officials fear the election defeat could instead push Trump toward more aggressive actions against Iran or Cuba.

Abdul El-Sayed speaking about being a Muslim in his Senate victory speech:
"I am so proud and honored to stand here as your senator-elect from the great state of Michigan.
Up until right about now, you might have noticed I always say "inshallah," or "God willing," whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned.
But today, tonight, we can turn that "inshallah" into an "alhamdulillah."
This is for the right-wing ops. That just means "praise be to God."
EISENKOT VOWS TO FORM EMERGENCY GOVERNMENT AND TAKE CONTROL OF KNESSET
Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of Yashar!, says the opposition will move quickly on two fronts: forming a national emergency government and using its parliamentary majority to elect a new Knesset speaker, advance legislation, and repeal laws it considers threats to democracy.
Eisenkot declared:
“As of Tuesday, Benjamin Netanyahu is the head of a caretaker government supported by only 46 members of the Knesset.”
He accused Likud and Netanyahu of attempting to undermine the election results, calling it their “last resort.”
Eisenkot also warned of political spin and false briefings in the coming days, adding:
“Anyone who thinks they can intimidate the forces of change has seriously underestimated our determination.”
IRAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER: “THE BALL IS IN WASHINGTON’S COURT”
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says Tehran has delivered what he called a “firm and rational” response to the United States, adding that Washington must now act to prevent another war.
“At the same time, on the ground and at the military level, we are at the highest state of defensive readiness,” Ghalibaf said.
He warned that if Washington again makes what Tehran considers a strategic miscalculation, the United States could find itself facing “a new theater of war” and looking for a way out.
The remarks come as indirect U.S.-Iran contacts continue, but the two sides remain far from an agreement to end the conflict.
Argentina's President Javier Milei:
We do not defend Israel because of some personal whim of the president.
We defend Israel because today it is the bastion of our values in the world against those who want to destroy us.
I am talking about the values that unite all Argentines as Westerners.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Iran:
Trump obviously ran saying he wasn't going to do a Middle East war. He did.
Had that been wrapped up in like a week, like Venezuela was very quick, it probably wouldn't have been an issue right now.
But what's happened is it's kind of an open-ended conflict, and it's having a direct impact on people's finances because they're going to the gas pump. They're seeing energy prices have gone up.
Jordan’s Abdullah II on the attack on a church in Karak:
“We will not allow terrorist outlaws to undermine the security and unity of this nation.
These people are not one of us. They have abandoned our great Jordanian family and betrayed it. There is no place for them among us, today or tomorrow.
The blood of the martyrs in Karak is a sacred pledge that we are bound to honor.”
Iran’s FM Spox. Esmaeil Baghaei:
The United States is truly the biggest threat to the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
Even implicitly threatening a country with a particular weapon encourages violations of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The United States is setting a precedent that threatens international peace and security for all countries.

🔷 Limited clashes occurred in Paris, while police used tear gas in Lyon and Toulouse. Tensions were also reported during unauthorized gatherings in Marseille.
🔷 Protesters are demanding increased investment in education, better public services, and action to tackle rising fuel prices and the cost of living, as the government faces financial pressure linked to public debt and spending.
Bottom line: The participation figures are based on estimates from the French Interior Ministry. Clashes were limited and did not occur across all demonstrations. Despite continued social demands, turnout has declined compared with previous rounds of protests.
