Started reporting this story back in Dhaka and saw firsthand from April to August how opaque the whole Starlink process was. Almost no one wanted to talk; the hush-hush and lack of transparency around the license were honestly shocking. @GeorgiaGee14, @MaryamSaleh, @Miraajripon.
How much did Starlink benefit from the close relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump?

One of the key case studies / takeaways from the midterms is going to be what happened in Starr County, Texas.
~96% Hispanic.
2024: Trump +16, Cruz +2.37
2026: Talarico +59 (>95% reported).

To be a journalist is to spend your entire career simultaneously aspiring to work at the New York Times and deeply resenting it for stealing so many local stories without giving credit.
NEW: The Times’s Credit Crisis
A recent New York Times front-page feature on chemical plants in the Trump era had deep reporting, stark data visuals, and an uncanny resemblance to a smaller outlet’s earlier investigation. Was this a case of unacknowledged inspiration, a steroidal dose of Times exceptionalism, or sheer coincidence?

Blazing finish by Raphinha, sweet pass from Pedri. Game on, culers! Give it all until the final whistle!

Genuinely shocking defending from Gerard Martin.
Blindly clearing the ball trying to get it up the pitch vs. out of bounds is elementary school defending.
Kick it out of bounds for a corner from that angle. Swinging your hips without seeing who is there is terrible.
Gerard Martin was unlucky there, but he still shouldn't be a starter for Barca. He always looks confused. We desperately need a centre back in winter break. How do you miss that, Lamine? We’ve played some of our worst football of the season today. And so many bad refereeing decisions are going Madrid's way.

SHAME: Yet another shocking attack on poor Christian rural families in Bengal. How many more heads (if any) will hang in shame? Actions like this carried out with growing impunity lower our global image: this ‘dark’ side of India is far from being the promised ‘sabka saath’. indianexpress.com/article/ci…

And yet Modi will fly to another Arab country to inaugurate another grand temple and lecture the world on how happy Muslims are under his government. The irony is obscene.

Attacks on Christian families in Bengal:
FIR details a horrifying assault. Woman beaten unconscious and disrobed, water poured over body, forced to perform Hindu rituals. Minor girl threatened with rape. All amid chants of Jai Sri Ram. @onkeyta_

“They said I can’t have faith in Christianity and no Christian can stay in this Hindu locality,” Laxmi Mondal said. The mob also threatened her 16-year-old -daughter with abduction and rape.

It’s not only Muslims. Christians, tribals and even lower-caste Hindus face persecution in BJP and Modi’s India. He is pushing a country of many faiths & cultures toward a Hindutva nationalist state where people are made to feel they don’t belong because of their religion.

Bangladeshis earn more (GDP per capital), live longer (life expectancy at birth), eat better (GHI Index), more Gender equal (WEF GGG Index), more literate (Adult Literacy Rate) & more environmental (Yale EPI) than India - Why would Bangladeshis infiltrate to India as Modi claims?

An Indian young man has said that the reality of Bangladesh is very different from the rumours and negative reports he has encountered in the news. His remarks come amid growing concerns over misleading information about Bangladesh, particularly regarding communal relations and religious festivals. Source: BanglaVision
