What was Argentina's President Milei's meme coin scandal about and what were its consequences?
President Milei promoted a cryptocurrency on social media, claiming it would fund small businesses and startups in Argentina. After his endorsement caused the coin's value to initially rise, it subsequently crashed, erasing $4.4 billion in value and causing substantial investor losses. The fallout has been severe, with opposition members planning impeachment proceedings and lawyers filing fraud complaints in Argentina's criminal court. Milei deleted his promotional post, denied connections to the cryptocurrency, and claimed he acted in good faith when approached about creating an instrument to fund Argentine projects.

What is the interim government's stance on Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League party's future in Bangladesh?
The interim government, through Yunus's Press Secretary, has reaffirmed its commitment to bringing justice to those involved in killings, enforced disappearances, and other crimes from the Awami League, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The government appears determined to pursue extradition proceedings against Hasina from India. Regarding the future of Hasina's Awami League party, the Press Secretary cast doubt on its survival, stating that ultimately the people of Bangladesh will decide if the party will continue to exist in the country's political landscape. This suggests the interim government is leaving the party's fate to public sentiment rather than taking direct action against it as an organization.

What does Zachary Levi believe is wrong with today's media approach to political coverage?
Zachary Levi emphasizes that media outlets need to recognize their influential role as people are impressionable and seeking truth and good leadership.

Levi believes this negative attack strategy is detrimental to society and contributes to divisiveness. He contrasts today's political discourse, which focuses on denigrating opponents, with an earlier approach that emphasized positive qualities of candidates rather than attacking others. This shift, he suggests, explains the current sad state of political dialogue.
