Last night was a referendum on the Iran war. The American people have emphatically rejected it, and the results at the polls confirmed what we’ve been warning about for months.
President Trump needs to understand that he still has the option to course correct on Iran. End the war now. Walk away, and commit the rest of his term to improving the lives of the American people.
Trump still has the power to do the right thing. He can still avert the disaster of a catastrophic escalation. He needs to focus on taking care of his fellow Americans if he has any hope in salvaging his legacy.
End the war. Put the American people first.

Biden and Harris did Israel's bidding. Lost miserably.
Republicans did Israel's bidding. Lost miserably.
Notice a pattern?

Vance and Rubio’s Presidential hopes just died tonight.
Hegseth is toast.
The fallout from this is going to be epic.

My sincere appreciation to @BrAqeelMalik Sb and the dedicated professional team at @mohrpakistan, led by Secretary Abdul Khalique Shaikh, with the valuable support of colleagues at @PakUN_Geneva, for their dedicated efforts in Pakistan’s Second Periodic Review under the ICESCR — a key international human rights treaty.
Pakistan successfully concluded its constructive dialogue with the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) in Geneva on 3–4 November 2026, presenting its 2nd Periodic Report.
Led by Minister of State for Law & Justice @BrAqeelMalik, Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to the progressive realisation of economic, social and cultural rights, advancing dignity, equality and opportunity for all.
The review highlighted key national priorities and progress in:
🔹 Social protection and healthcare
🔹 Education and inclusive development
🔹 Protection of minorities and vulnerable groups
🔹 Equitable use of natural resources
🔹 Strengthening legislative and institutional frameworks
The review emphasised Pakistan’s considerable progress across the full range of economic, social and cultural rights, and the imperative to uphold the indivisibility of all human rights, with ESC rights treated at par with civil and political rights.
Pakistan also underscored the importance of international assistance and cooperation in advancing these rights, particularly amid declining ODA, mounting debt and growing global challenges.
Pakistan appreciates the Committee’s constructive engagement and remains steadfast in its commitment to strengthening human rights protections, advancing social justice and ensuring that no one is left behind.

RIP AIPAC
El-Sayed: "To AIPAC, who spent $42 million against us: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice."
It's a new era when a Senator-elect, in his victory speech, accuses Israel of genocide and apartheid, to the roar of the crowds.

WOO-HOO @AbdulElSayed! What an incredible night. What an incredible win.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.
That’s what Abdul is bringing to the U.S. Senate.

There's a pattern here:
Biden famously said he would pursue a foreign policy centered on human rights. But then he deferred to Israel and enabled a genocide. It cost the Dems the 2024 elections.
Trump famously said he would end the wars. But then he deferred to Israel and started an illegal war against Iran. It cost the GOP the midterms.
The pattern is clear, and so is the lesson: Listen to the American people, not to Israel.

Ro Khanna on Israel: “The Democratic Party needs to be very clear. We need to call it a genocide. We need to say zero aid. We need to say zero military sales that are being used to kill civilians. And we need to say in the first week we’re gonna recognize a Palestinian State, put an embassy in Ramallah and East Jerusalem, and we’re gonna stop protecting Israel in the United Nations”

Elon Musk, the largest individual political donor in modern U.S. history and a Texas resident, said the Democrat sought to “open the borders” and “abolish democracy.”
But Texas voters elected to send Democrat James Talarico to the U.S. Senate anyway. wapo.st/4ztpfPV

Tonight was a total referendum on Trump.
He told people to vote like he was on the ballot and they did.
Trump covered up the Epstein files protecting rapists and pedophiles, started a foreign war no one wanted and killed a school full of kids, put his rich elite donors before the struggling Americans who put him in office, made life unaffordable with his tariffs, and caused gas and diesel prices to skyrocket while he played the market and sold crypto.
And Republicans stood behind him silently clapping like trained baby seals.
And Trump ran me and Thomas Massie out of the Congress and our Republican colleagues stayed silent.
But really it’s what Trump did to the American people.
And tonight they sent him a clear message.
But it’s the rest of Republicans that need to learn the lesson and drastically change course.
And I’m not sure if they’re capable of that.

This was Austin, Texas last night when the state was called for James Talarico and Democrats.
This is the kind of thing you see when a dictator is overthrown.
Well, I guess that sort is what happened in a way.
Congrats everyone!

This one really got me. ❤️😭
EL-SAYED: “to all the parents who struggled to explain to their kids why the president openly mocks someone for their name or how they pray, let them know tomorrow that the bad guys lost.”
