Losing an election is not grounds for asylum. Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports. The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law. apnews.com/article/brazil-fl…

Brazil's Flávio Bolsonaro leaves Brazil for the United States, according to multiple media reports

Flávio Bolsonaro, the defeated Brazilian presidential candidate, faces uncertainty after a deadline to surrender his passports expired Tuesday.

First $485k. Then $65k. Now $250k. The settlements with employees fired for comments about Charlie Kirk keep mounting. So do legal bills - at up to $925/hr. There’s a real cost to taxpayers to the state’s war on speech in the “Free State of Florida" orlandosentinel.com/2026/10/…

Maxwell: First $485,000. Now $250,000. Florida keeps paying off employees who were fired for making comments about Charlie Kirk. The state is also paying lawyers as much as $925 an hour.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois. Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money. Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

This book is really damning for Kushner. It claims the UAE paid Kushner $50 million to get Rex Tillerson fired as Secretary of State.

Wow. US envoy Mike Waltz & Cuban FM Bruno Rodriguez Parilla are having a shout-off on floor of UN General Assembly where FM walked up to the podium where Waltz is speaking & called him a liar. “You understand who you’re dealing with? This is America. Back up,” Waltz yelled back.

This is a hostage situation by global financial interests that don’t want governments elected that don’t serve their interests. When their preferred right wing government wins, they institute austerity and impoverish the population, case in point, Milei in Argentina.

ICE has detained this mentally ill US citizen in the Miami Detention Center in Indiana (an immigration prison) b/c he's deluded himself into believing he's the son of a Jamaican Prime Minister, even tho he has a Florida birth certificate. ICE really wants to deport him.

Flavio goes to prison in January after his protections as a senator end and he can be tried for his Rachadinha and Banco Master crimes so obviously he's terrified of ending up like daddy. He'll spend the next few months suing everyone to annul it then bounce to Florida in January

New story and 🧵: Earlier this month, just a few days before early voting began, Ken Griffin, a hedge fund executive worth an estimated $57 billion, sent seven-figure donations to a pair of Florida politicians who seem to be stuck in surprisingly competitive elections...

This is interesting. Key Putin 🇷🇺 aide Ushakov admits that the Anchorage plan of having Trump 🇺🇸 force Zelensky 🇺🇦 into agreeing to their demands hasn’t worked because of the role of Europe. That’s it: if Europe stays the course, 🇷🇺 can’t win.

Armed Customs & Border Patrol agents stopped a person right in front of a polling place in Key Largo which is prohibited in Florida. It’s where people from different National Origins come to vote. A bartender was able to record the whole thing & he says it was deliberate.

The right wing bullshit machine is on full send. It is impressive how many hired American MAGA influencers suddenly became experts on Brazil.

Unfortunately, Robert Mueller was only tasked with investigating Trump's campaign involvement with Russia, which means anything after he was elected wasn't subject to investigation. Mueller's team mainly focused on the Trump Tower meeting, which Emin set up. 2/

Kushner's phone logged into a UAE bank account that received "hundreds of millions of dollars" from the Azerbaijani government around 2018. This isn't surprising to me. The Trump family has had close ties to Azerbaijan since 2013 through Emin Agalarov, who married the daughter of Azerbaijan's president. 1/

פניתי הבוקר ליועצת המשפטית לממשלה בדרישה לפתוח בחקירה פלילית נגד בנימין נתניהו באשמת בגידה. בחודש האחרון ראש ממשלת ישראל, בנימין נתניהו, לוחץ על ראשי מערכת הביטחון לנקוט צעדים שעלולים לייצר מיסקלקולציה מול איראן. הניסיון לגרור את מדינת ישראל ערב הבחירות למלחמה, יחד עם הנכונות להקריב את חיילי צה״ל רק בשל חשש מהפסד בבחירות, הם בגידה במדינה, בביטחונה ובחיילי צה״ל.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.
