Is Vivek Ramaswamy Replacing Elon Musk At Doge? Who Are the Front runners for DOGE'S Top Position?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next. #VivekRamaswamy #ElonMusk #DOGE #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #MuskExit #GovernmentEfficiency #Layoffs #DogeNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #FutureOfDoge #VivekAtDoge #Trump2025 #BureaucracyReform #DogeLeadership #USGovernment #RamaswamyComeback #TechInPolitics

Hasina Sentenced:6-Months Jail After Viral “License to Kill” Audio | First Verdict Since 2024 Escape

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to six months in jail by the International Crimes Tribunal for contempt of court. The verdict comes after a leaked audio call revealed Hasina allegedly mocking the judiciary and referencing a “license to kill” 227 people during the 2024 protests. The sentencing marks the first official ruling since her ouster and escape last year following mass student-led demonstrations. Former student leader Shamil Bulbul was also sentenced to two months.

PM Modi Refuses to Silence Hasina Online: Yunus React, Bangladesh Boils Over Her Speeches from India

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.” Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London. As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest. Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi. Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil?
