On Election Day, a Google search discrepancy led to questions about bias when searches for “Where can I vote for Harris?” displayed a voting map, but the same search for “Where can I vote for Trump?” did not. Google clarified that this difference occurred due to Harris also being the name of a Texas county, which automatically triggered the “Where to vote” map feature, a pattern also seen in Vance County searches. Google assured users that a fix was underway and stated that few users actually search for voting locations this way. Previously, Amazon faced a similar situation when its Alexa assistant provided differing responses to questions about voting for Trump versus Harris. As Election Day progressed, Google removed the Harris map feature and recommended users search "Where can I vote" for unbiased location results.

Actor Paul Rudd surprised students at Pennsylvania universities on Election Day, distributing water bottles to those enduring long waits at polling locations. In Philadelphia, MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff encountered Rudd at Temple University, where students had been waiting for hours to vote. When asked about the election itself, Rudd humorously deflected, saying, "I feel good about handing out some waters!" The actor’s outreach extended beyond Temple, with images shared on social media showing Rudd at Villanova University, further demonstrating his commitment to supporting youth voter engagement. This initiative mirrors his efforts during the 2020 election when he provided cookies to voters waiting in rain-soaked lines in Brooklyn, New York.

This achievement not only advances Pakistan’s military capabilities but also reduces its dependence on international arms suppliers, mitigating the influence of global politics on its defence strategy. The dependence on foreign suppliers has historically placed Pakistan in a vulnerable position. The most prominent example is Pakistan’s reliance on its F-16 fleet, once the mainstay of its air force. In times of political tension, this allowed the U.S. to effectively curb Pakistan’s military options. Pakistan must continue to draw lessons from global conflicts, such as the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Russia, and place greater emphasis on homegrown weapons systems and asymmetric warfare strategies, including drones and unmanned combat vehicles.

As Israel’s aggression in Palestine marks its first anniversary, the world edges closer to disaster. Islamic law views Gaza’s struggle as “Fard Kifayah”—a collective duty that, if fulfilled by some, absolves others. The United Nations, established after World War II to resolve conflicts, has repeatedly failed to deliver justice for Muslim nations. Unity among Muslim nations has never been more vital. If the Muslim world has a better plan, it must emerge now.
