Autópsia da defunta campanha da direita, baseada na mais pura opinião pessoal: - Jair nomear Flávio como sucessor para garantir alguém que o tirasse da cadeia foi o erro maior da campanha. Arriscou que o sobrenome carregaria um nome fraco, sob pena de ficar sem presidente algum. Era evidente que Tarcísio era um candidato mais forte e que conseguiria montar uma coalizão maior, mas precisaria da benção de Jair mobilizando o eleitorado cativo dele. Deu no que deu. - Flávio começou sua campanha corrigindo os erros maiores que a campanha derrotada de Jair cometeu em 22. Não criticou as urnas, não criticou vacina, não insistiu em falar de armas de fogo. São três temas que não tem apoio da maioria dos brasileiros, mas que o pai não conseguia largar. Mais que isso, evitou até usar demais da imagem do pai. Provavelmente sabia que quem se importava com isso já era voto no bolso dele, e não queria trazer para ele a rejeição mais alta que o pai tem. - Resultado do 1º turno mostrando um resultado para Flávio muito melhor que as pesquisas indicavam, e elegendo toda a direita para o legislativo, subiu à cabeça. Ficaram extremamente confiantes na vitória. Não dá para culpá-los tanto por isso, afinal uma virada eleitoral entre 1º e 2º turno nunca tinha acontecido. Mas prudência é bom. - Após o 1º turno essa confiança mudou parte do tom da campanha. Marçal ganhou mais espaço. Aparece hostilizando indecisos, dispensando e ofendendo eleitores de Renan Santos. Muito, muito ruim. Isso é clima de "já ganhou" total. Estão concorrendo com alguém que já foi presidente três vezes e acham que podem dispensar 3 milhões de votos??? Isso é puro ego e burrice. E não ofende só o pessoal do Missão, não, porque muitos indecisos também viram isso. Se fazem pouco caso de 3 milhões de pessoas imagina o espectador independente que só tem 1 voto para depositar? - Nem uma semana depois do 1º turno, Flávio grava vídeo prometendo que quem passará a faixa presidencial para ele será o próprio pai. Aqui fica claro o clima de "já ganhou", e que o poder subiu à cabeça. Quem deveria passar a faixa é o atual presidente, não o pai - que, aliás, fugiu do país e não se dignou a passar a faixa. Até as tradições do país estão abaixo dos interesses particulares da família? - O primeiro debate presidencial focado em atacar sem parar com ofensas. Vestiu a roupa, o estilo e a profundidade de conteúdo de Marçal. Como não participou de debates no 1º turno, aquela foi a primeira impressão de muita gente sobre quem era Flávio Bolsonaro. E não foi boa. - Mudanças de pauta. Flávio passou o 2º turno copiando ideias e pautas ruins de Lula, ou criando novas ideias ruins dele, como o calote nas dívidas bancárias. Em parte, faz sentido essa estratégia. Se as propostas forem muito parecidas a eleição vira sobre quem você gostaria que tocasse aquelas propostas, e Flávio estava confiante que ele ganharia nesse embate. De novo, ego. Talvez para alguns eleitores ele tenha passado a imagem de falso e seria melhor bancar alguma das decisões históricas dele, para marcar uma mudança com a situação atual. - Vídeo do Nikolas sobre o nordeste. Não me parece que tenha pego bem. Reforçou estereótipos diversos, especialmente o de se julgarem salvadores da região mesmo sem terem nada a mostrar nesse sentido. Os vazamentos da gravação depois pegaram muito mal. - Crimes, mais crimes, e ainda mais suspeitas de crimes. A quantidade de esqueletos no armário que apareceram sobre Flávio nessas poucas semanas foi muito impressionante. Praticamente todo dia aparecia um novo vínculo suspeito, uma transação não-explicada. Ser o candidato novo e que deveria passar a imagem de mudança, mas não conseguir peitar de frente o PT no quesito corrupção, é um fracasso incrível. Mas 100% previsível para quem sabia um pouquinho que seja do histórico dele. Obs: TODOS os políticos com nome grande na direita sabiam desde o começo desse histórico sujo do Flávio, para eles não foi surpresa alguma. - Histórico pouco presidenciável. Difícil pensar que um candidato à presidente vai ter que se explicar por que votou contra licença maternidade. Ou por que foi a favor de tirar a marcação de munições. No contexto dessa eleição, ele também começou falando contra o fim da escala 6x1 e terminou apoiando no discurso. Começa com cortar R$200 bi e termina sem conseguir dizer nada que vai cortar de fato, só gastos a serem ampliados. A imagem que passa é de um oportunista. - O 2º debate e o caráter pessoal. Usar os 9 dedos de Lula como ofensa foi algo muito natural para o Flávio, esse tipo de piada é refresco nos círculos da direita. Ele só esqueceu que não está falando com sua claque que votaria nele não importa o que ele faça. Para um eleitor indeciso, ver um homem adulto fazer ofensa baixa a um idoso de 80 anos que já foi presidente três vezes é uma demonstração muito ruim de caráter. Depois ele pediu desculpas e as pesquisas mostraram que esse foi o ponto mais alto de Flávio no debate, agradou os indecisos (e foi o que mais desagradou os bolsonaristas). Em seguida, chamou a mãe de Ana Clara pelo nome da filha assassinada, de novo uma demonstração muito ruim de caráter. Em resumo, me parece que os erros da campanha da direita começaram no ego de Jair. Flávio começou sabendo bem os temas que precisava evitar para se diferenciar do pai, e foi muito acima do esperado no primeiro turno. O ego inflou e ele mostrou mais de quem ele é. A maioria dos brasileiros indecisos não gostou do que viu. Dos 14 milhões de votos totais a mais depositados no 2º turno, 10 milhões foram para Lula. Considerando que agora Flávio quer contestar o resultado das urnas, a visão negativa que a maioria dos brasileiros formou dele se mostrou correta em tempo recorde.

A Ban on Self-Defense Imagine buying a Lenovo computer, a Bosch appliance, a Toyota, or simply paying for a Netflix subscription. You pay for it, use it, and stick to the terms of the agreement. Then one day, it suddenly stops working. You call customer support, and they tell you: “There’s nothing wrong with your device. The company owner has simply decided you shouldn’t be allowed to use it today. He has his own views on things.” Sounds absurd? Of course. That’s why we have laws, contracts, consumer rights, and corporate accountability. Even when a company has the right to restrict a service, that right should be clearly stated in the agreement, and there should be a legitimate reason for exercising it. But apparently, Starlink operates under different rules. Elon Musk controls one of the world’s most important satellite communication systems. He has the technical ability to restrict its operation remotely. And right now, people’s lives depend on that connection, including Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. On October 14, 2026, Reuters reported new restrictions on satellite communications for Ukrainian forces. These restrictions disrupted drone operations and forced the cancellation of some combat missions. Put simply, operations to destroy russian missile launchers were disrupted. Those same launchers remained intact, continued firing at Ukrainian cities, and killed more civilians, including women and children. And unfortunately, this has happened before. In 2022, during Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the Kherson region, Starlink connections went down. Reuters later published an investigation reporting that Musk had personally ordered coverage restrictions in areas where Ukrainian forces were advancing. That same year, he refused to activate Starlink coverage near Crimea for a Ukrainian naval drone operation against the russian fleet. In 2023, SpaceX executives openly acknowledged that the company had restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink to control drones. Somehow, we’ve ended up in a world where a country under attack has to keep explaining why it has the right to defend itself. Where strikes against the aggressor’s territory spark more debate about escalation than the daily russian bombardment of Ukrainian cities. And now, a private businessman can influence that country’s ability to defend itself. All of this is happening while the world knows perfectly well who putin is and what his wars have cost. Chechnya. The Second Chechen War began in 1999 and claimed up to 25,000 lives, mostly civilians, according to human rights estimates. The exact number of children killed remains unknown. Georgia. In 2008, according to Georgian authorities, 228 civilians were killed. Children were among the victims. Ukraine. Since 2014, thousands of civilians have been killed. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion alone, the United Nations had confirmed more than 16,000 civilian deaths by mid-2026, including more than 800 children. The real numbers are almost certainly much higher. We could also talk about Syria, where russian military operations have caused thousands of civilian deaths, including children, according to independent monitoring organizations. And after all of this, we’re still discussing whether we should be afraid of making putin angry. Let me remind you that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for putin over alleged war crimes involving the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. That is why I call putin’s regime a terrorist regime. So, is Musk deliberately helping russia? Some of the Starlink restrictions have had consequences that benefited the russian military. I believe the public has every right to demand an investigation into whether those consequences were intentional. I’m not naive. I understand perfectly well that when you’re drowning, you often have to save yourself. Ukraine has been living with that reality since 2014.

Excluding the pre-Liberation Day bounce where companies increased imports ahead of expected tariffs, last month registered the worst U.S. trade deficit on record. More evidence that Trump's blanket tariffs have failed on their own terms.

President Trump inherited a strong labor market from President Biden. Since his inauguration, average monthly job creation has fallen dramatically: from 122k/month in 2024 to 33k/month in 2025-26.

I have been writing about Donald Trump nearly every night for over a year and a half. And looking back over it all, what I see is a man who never once took his job seriously. Not for a single day. It has been nonstop stunts and spectacles at the expense of the American people and the world. But what I also see is a man who is getting worse, physically and mentally. The posting rampages are not just bizarre, and his fantasies are not just strange. There are more of them, and they are becoming more elaborate, grandiose, and more disconnected from anything resembling the real world and what we are all living through. And the people around him, who could stop this all today, are not even trying. Instead, they are vultures looking for the best opportunity to benefit both with increased power and profit.

Trump promised to bring down rates. Before the Iran War, markets expected rate cuts of up to 0.75 points this year. The inflationary war flipped the calculus: now they're pricing in two rate HIKES by mid-2027. My @Morning_Joe Chart

I previously reported that the growth rate and composition of Trump's wealth gain in office are unprecedented in recent history. Upon request, here is the data on the relative size of Trump's presidential windfall. The extent of his self-enrichment is even more striking.

Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source. Obama's wealth grew from royalties on books written before office — and Bush's mostly from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior. Most of Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost: • USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose. • According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children. • Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths. • USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history. • Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed. • 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion. • 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months. • $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated. • 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed. • Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people. • American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
Exactly. And they cannot cite a single name of someone who died out of the “millions” they falsely claim have died. Not a single name!
