 Here are some common causes of hypomagnesemia:
  1. Inadequate intake: A diet low in magnesium can lead to hypomagnesemia. Foods that are high in magnesium include nuts, seeds, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables

  3. Renal losses: The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating magnesium levels in the body. Certain medications, such as diuretics, can cause magnesium to be excreted in the urine, leading to hypomagnesemia

Inside Israel’s Secret Influence Network: Paid U.S. Firms, TikTok Manipulation, and AI Propaganda Claims

  Investigation: Claims About Bridges Partners, Clock Tower X, Oracle and Israeli Digital Propaganda Background A widely shared VocalPolitics report alleges that Israel is using Western PR firms, Gen‑Z influencers and the proposed U.S. acquisition of TikTok to embed pro‑Israel narratives, normalise the occupation and censor dissent. This investigation uses recent FARA filings, mainstream reporting and human‑rights documentation to verify or refute four core claims. Claim 1 –  Bridges Partners, a Washington‑based firm linked to former “IOF intelligence officers,” is paying influencers up to $7 000 per post for 75–90 posts on TikTok, Instagram and other platforms Evidence from FARA filings – Responsible Statecraft obtained FARA documents showing that Bridges Partners (acting for Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs) budgeted US$900 000 for an “influencer campaign” called the Esther Project during June‑November 2025. The documents listed 14–18 influencers ...

How India Alienated the Muslim World—Fast

  The Strategic Miscalculation That Nobody Saw Coming For seventy years, India cultivated its image as the world's largest democracy, a secular republic that happened to house the world's third-largest Muslim population. That careful construction collapsed in less than a decade. Not gradually. Not through some inevitable drift of civilizational tensions. Fast. The speed matters because it reveals something uncomfortable about both Indian statecraft and global Muslim solidarity: how quickly decades of diplomatic capital can evaporate when domestic politics overrides strategic thinking. India didn't just lose Muslim friends—it actively created Muslim enemies where none existed before. This wasn't supposed to happen. India's founding mythology rested on pluralism as statecraft, not just principle. Nehru understood that a diverse India needed diverse allies. His successors, until recently, grasped this basic arithmetic of power. When Kashmir Became Kashmir Again A...

Flying Just Got a Lot More Expensive — and Tariffs Are Only the Beginning

 As trade tensions escalate between major economies, new tariff uncertainties are weighing heavily on airlines. The consequences will ripple far beyond boardrooms and airfields: travelers should expect higher ticket prices, fewer route options, and a possible reshaping of the global aviation landscape. Immediate Impacts: Airlines Navigate a New Set of Risks In the short term, airlines are grappling with a complex mix of operational challenges: First, the aircraft supply chain is under pressure. Trade disputes between the United States, the European Union, and China have complicated the procurement of new planes. Manufacturers like Boeing, Airbus, and China's state-backed COMAC are caught in the middle, creating delays and pricing uncertainty for carriers ( Reuters ). Fuel markets are similarly volatile. Airlines typically hedge fuel prices months in advance to avoid sudden cost spikes. However, unpredictable shifts in global oil prices—driven in part by trade instability—are u...
