One thing life has taught me is, your morals in most cases, are determined by circumstance. You will absolutely find yourself in a position you once judged

If the lifts at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital (Harare Hospital) are also not working, let us fix them. I am happy to use my personal funds to sort out that problem.
I was born at Harare Central Hospital, now Sally Mugabe Central Hospital, on 26 March 1971.
This is the little I can do to pay homage to the institution that brought me into this world. Patients, nurses and doctors should not have to struggle up and down stairs in a hospital that serves so many of our people.
It is nothing political to me, just a Zimbabwean looking after Zimbabwe
If I see this ndonzwa kuda kuyeerera ndanga ndiripa Harare hospital musiuno ndarwarirwa na kule yangu umm we can do better
God bless you @daddyhope

The Reverend Mother in that scene is the dying Fremen one (Ramallo of Sietch Tabr), not Gaius Helen Mohiam; she’s reacting in horror the moment she realizes Jessica is pregnant during the Water of Life ritual because pregnant women are strictly forbidden from drinking it.
the poison doesn’t just transform the mother into a Reverend Mother and unlock her ancestral memories, it also hits the fetus, awakening the unborn child to full consciousness and loading it with the entire genetic memory of the Bene Gesserit/Fremen line before birth, which creates a “pre-born” (what the Bene Gesserit call an abomination): a child who is essentially a Reverend Mother from the womb, with the knowledge and power of thousands of ancestors but none of the maturity or control to handle it, and Alia becomes exactly that.
Ramallo and the others didn’t know (or weren’t told) Jessica was pregnant when they had her drink it, so once the truth hits during the ritual, the old woman realizes they’ve just created one of the Sisterhood’s greatest taboos, that’s the “What have we done?” it later shows how the blue poison reaches the embryo and the immediate horrified reaction, but it doesn’t spell out the full abomination lore the way the book does, which is why a lot of people leave that scene confused

PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY: HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXTREME HEAT IN ZIMBABWE
The Ministry of Health and Child Care advises members of the public to take precautions against extreme heat during the current hot period. High temperatures, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and strenuous physical activity can overwhelm the body's ability to regulate temperature, resulting in dehydration, heat exhaustion and potentially fatal heatstroke.
The 2026/2027 seasonal climate outlook indicates the likelihood of below-normal rainfall and warmer-than-normal temperatures associated with El Niño conditions, potentially increasing heat exposure and water stress.
WHO IS MOST AT RISK?
Although anyone can be affected, children, older persons, pregnant women, people with chronic illnesses, persons with disabilities and outdoor workers, including farmers, construction workers and vendors, are particularly vulnerable.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
The Ministry recommends that the public:
1. Stay hydrated: Drink safe water regularly throughout the day, even when not thirsty.
2. Avoid excessive heat exposure: Limit outdoor activities during the hottest hours, generally late morning to mid-afternoon.
3. Keep cool: Stay in shaded, cool and well-ventilated places. Take regular breaks when working outdoors.
4. Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and use hats or umbrellas for sun protection.
5. Protect vulnerable people: Check regularly on children, older persons and people living with chronic illnesses. Never leave children unattended in parked vehicles.
6. Promote workplace safety: Employers should provide drinking water, shaded rest areas and regular breaks for outdoor workers.
7. Maintain food and water safety: Store drinking water safely and protect food from spoilage and contamination.
RECOGNISE THE WARNING SIGNS
Heat exhaustion: Heavy sweating, intense thirst, headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting and muscle cramps. Move the affected person to a cool place, loosen clothing, cool the body with water and fanning and provide drinking water if fully alert and able to swallow.
Heatstroke – A MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Confusion, unusual behaviour, seizures, collapse or loss of consciousness, particularly following exposure to excessive heat. The skin may be hot and dry or sweaty. Do not wait for all symptoms to appear.
WHAT TO DO WHEN HEATSTROKE IS SUSPECTED
• Seek emergency medical assistance immediately.
• Move the person to a cool, shaded or well-ventilated place.
• Remove excess clothing and begin rapid cooling using cold water, wet cloths and fanning. Cold-water immersion may be used where feasible and safe.
• Continue cooling while awaiting medical assistance.
• Do not give fluids by mouth to anyone who is confused, unconscious or unable to swallow safely.
• Do not administer paracetamol or aspirin to treat heatstroke.
PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNICATION
The Ministry calls upon the media, schools, employers, local authorities, community leaders and health workers to disseminate these messages and promote practical measures to prevent heat-related illnesses.
Members of the public should also follow weather updates and official health advisories from the relevant authorities.
KEY PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE
PREVENT HEAT EXPOSURE. STAY HYDRATED. RECOGNISE THE WARNING SIGNS. COOL RAPIDLY AND SEEK MEDICAL HELP WITHOUT DELAY. #HealthForAll

Cheating is a character flaw because it reflects a willingness to deceive, betray trust, and prioritize personal desires over commitments.

ALT A screenshot of incoming text messages that read, "i ain't reading all that, i'm happy for u tho, or sorry that happened."
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.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.
While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.
