He didn’t expect to change his mind.

Then he saw the evidence in Antarctica.

Now he’s making the conservative case for addressing climate change.

Watch. Then decide for yourself.

@Beveryveryquie1 @_MAGA_NEWS_ Are you talking about January 6?

[Scott Leckman @leckman_scott]

@JonFDanilowicz I have wondered the same thing. Makes sense to me. The biggest problem we face is money in politics. I personally favor public funding. Priorities would immediately change.

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s @Hoffman8Jon says.

It would have been very easy for Professor Muhammad Yunus to decline the offer to become Bangladesh’s Chief Advisor in August 2024. He didn’t seek out the position or need a job. In fact, it is hard to think of a better job than the one he had—traveling the world to speak about his vision for the world’s future. Nobody would have faulted him for saying no.

But he did not say no. He accepted the responsibility of restoring stability to a country torn apart and guiding it back onto the road to democracy. He and his colleagues inherited a mess with no time to prepare for the enormous tasks they faced. Sure, they made mistakes, but there is no disputing the reality that they are leaving Bangladesh in a better condition than they found it on August 8, 2024.

Now it is up to those elected on February 12 to continue the work of building a new Bangladesh and ensuring that autocracy can never return. I wish them well. And I thank Professor Yunus and his colleagues for their service and sacrifices.

A very positive signal from the next Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition in Bangladesh. This is a breath of fresh air.

Refusing to retreat into a quiet, retired life, he answered the call with unwavering resolve, despite his age and the heavy weight of being the sole caregiver for a sick spouse. His belief was that if the young could die for their freedom, then how could he refuse their request?

It is increasingly clear that the disinformation campaign about violence against minorities in Bangladesh has little to do with what is happening in that country. The objective of those peddling these lies is to influence events within India and fuel their domestic hate industry.

It is beyond absurd to think that Muhammad Yunus and his government are leading a pogrom against Bangladesh’s Hindu minority. It is likewise fanciful to pretend that Bangladesh is in the grips of Islamic extremists.

[Jon Danilowicz @JonFDanilowicz]

Bangladesh’s interim government deserves great credit for successfully managing one of the most tumultuous periods in the country’s history. This fortnight began with the assassination of Sharif Osman Hadi and included his funeral, Tarique Rahman’s return, and Begum Zia’s death and funeral.

These events brought millions of people into the streets of Dhaka and on the move throughout the country. Individually and collectively they presented an immense logistic and security challenge which the administration managed almost without incident. For an admittedly weak interim government in its final weeks, this was an impressive accomplishment.

Of course this would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of the major political parties and the country’s citizens. This flies in the face of the false narrative that Bangladesh is a nation divided, in flames, and on the verge of collapse.

The coming weeks will no doubt present further challenges, but the success of managing the historic events of December 2025 provide reason to believe that the IG will be successful in achieving its goal of a secure and festive election. For it and for other partners, this will be the best way of honoring those who the nation lost in December and over the preceding 18 months.
