[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

After years of gloom in the shadow of Donald Trump, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, and others of their ilk, progressives and liberals around the world are finding cause to celebrate. On Monday, Brazil’s President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, defeated the far-right challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, in his country’s Presidential runoff. Between Lula’s victory and events earlier this year in Hungary, where the long-ruling nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was ousted in elections, the White House has lost two hugely symbolic allies in its broader right-wing global culture war. No clear winner has yet emerged in the Israeli election, in which Trump had endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and which saw a historic turnout of Arab voters. And the U.S. President may be humbled further in next week’s midterms, as Democrats eye taking both the House and the Senate.

At the same time, protests have broken out across the world. People have taken to the streets in India, France, Belgium, Spain, Albania, and Italy; among their demands are access to affordable housing, job opportunities for young people, relief from the cost of living, and greater investment in schools. “There’s no simple narrative bringing together all the separate uprisings,” Ishaan Tharoor writes. But across the world, on the streets and at the ballot box, the right-wing movement is facing a backlash. Read Tharoor’s latest column: https://t.co/lOKlql6t88

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: AMEN! Rep. Jamie Raskin says that future historians will say that this "miserable period" really started when MAGA voters chose to ignore all of the women that Trump sexually harassed and abused.

Our country went off the cliff after that...

"Her mother sided with the rapist stepfather and Vivek Ramaswamy made an ad about it. JD Vance didn't hesitate or flinch in the same news cycle that it comes out," MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said, setting the stage for the discussion. "He doubles down. He said, run the ad harder, run the ad longer, put more money behind it. Trump said the same. What does it say about the culture around these men?"

Ramaswamy's vile ad featured the mother of his Democratic opponent Amy Acton urging voters to reject her daughter at the ballot box. He dumped millions into the ad, despite the fact that Acton's mother previously sided with Acton's stepfather, who raped her. Vivek and Vance's defense of the ad has been disgusting, and proves that these Republican men view women as nothing more than disposable objects.

"Well, it's completely contaminated and toxic, and you know, when historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all of those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump," said Raskin.

"But he got elected even after he was adjudicated civilly responsible for sexually penetrating and attacking E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room in a department store in New York City," he continued. "And there are there are reports in the report that we just released, the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.

"There are accounts by specific survivors and victims which very much resemble this, that is at a kind of public event or public place, cornering someone in something like a dressing room or a hotel room and then sexually attacking them," said Raskin. "And that's precisely what Beatrice Keul says in her account of what took place back then."

A new report released by Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee revealed yesterday that former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul alleged that Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in New York in 1993. Not only that, but Jeffrey Epstein introduced himself to her as Trump's best friend and offered to arrange for her to travel to Mar-a-Lago. The report states that the two predators used the "Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant" as a "hunting ground" to prey on young women and girls.

The new allegation, as horrifying as it is, is unfortunately unsurprising. We have long known that Trump is an unrepentant rapist in addition to being a pedophile. His voters chose to ignore those facts because they were so excited by his racist rhetoric and cruelty. Now, they're paying the price because (surprise, surprise!), the sociopathic, serial rapist isn't actually interested in improving the lives of average Americans. He's getting richer while the country burns.

"So look, the evidence is certainly enough to justify an investigation," said Raskin of Keul's accusation. "It's overwhelmingly likely it's enough to justify going to a grand jury to see if a grand jury agrees. But it certainly is not reconcilable in any way with sweeping the whole matter under the rug. And I just want to thank these survivors, these victims of these terrible events when they were mostly girls. Some of them were young women, but mostly they were girls. They were minors."

"For coming forward and hanging tough and saying this really happened and the country's got to pay attention to it," he went on. "So my responsibility is the ranking member in the House Judiciary Committee and our responsibility as Democrats on the Judiciary Committee is to make certain that the Department of Justice is not able to sweep this under the rug."

"And we also show evidence in this report about how the White House was actually calling all the shots and was essentially dictating or editing the statement that there was nothing to see here and that there was no basis for further investigation," added Raskin. "And it's just scandalous that that took place. In fact, the White House had to order them to use Department of Justice and FBI letterhead because they didn't want to. Nobody wanted to be associated with this extraordinary act of cover up in the service of Donald Trump and against the service of justice and the rule of law."

Accountability is coming. After the midterms, Raskin will get sweeping subpoena powers and you can be damn sure he'll put them to use!

Folha is now reporting that Marco Rubio actively participated in arranging his departure, citing sources connected to both governments.

If that reporting holds up, we're looking at the U.S. helping a defeated presidential candidate evade another country's judicial authorities.

Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil after losing an election, just as his father refused to accept his own defeat. His father, Jair Bolsonaro, is now in prison for plotting a coup to remain in power.

Instead of letting Brazil’s justice system handle its own affairs, Marco Rubio apparently decided Flávio was worth bringing into the American political orbit.

And the morons of MAGA are celebrating it.

A criminal, accused of money laundering and fraud, from a political family tied to an attempted coup, welcomed by people who claim to care about law and order.

The irony is so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw.

Will American taxpayers be forced to pay for the protection of a Brazilian politician facing serious criminal

[O Jornaleiro @ojornaleirobr]

AMERICANS, DO YOU KNOW WHO DONALD TRUMP IS WELCOMING INTO YOUR COUNTRY?

I am a Brazilian journalist, and I have been closely following the criminal investigations involving Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

Reuters reported on October 27 that Flávio left Brazil for the United States after losing the presidential election, despite a Brazilian Supreme Court order requiring him to surrender his passports.

Now I have a question:

Will American taxpayers be forced to pay for the protection of a Brazilian politician facing serious criminal investigations?

Before anyone screams “political persecution,” here are the actual case numbers. You can look them up yourselves.

1. BANCO MASTER, DARK HORSE AND SUSPECTED MONEY LAUNDERING

Brazilian Supreme Court (STF)

Case: INQ 5,070

Full docket: 0181367-57.2026.1.00.0000

Related proceedings: PET 16,369 and INQ 5,026.

Federal investigators are examining suspected money laundering, corruption and illegal international financial transactions involving the financing of Dark Horse, a film about Jair Bolsonaro.

The investigation involves financial dealings with Daniel Vorcaro, the former controller of Banco Master.

2. SUSPECTED FINANCIAL LINKS TO THE PCC DRUG-TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION

Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (TSE)

Case: AIJE 0603371-06.2026.6.00.0000

Filed October 23, 2026.

This electoral lawsuit questions whether millions of dollars transferred through companies and investment funds linked to the Dark Horse financing network indirectly benefited Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign.

One company involved in the financial transactions was also identified in investigations concerning suspected money laundering connected to the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital), one of Brazil’s largest criminal organizations.

The lawsuit seeks the annulment of Bolsonaro’s candidacy or election certification and an eight-year disqualification.

To be absolutely clear: the alleged connection between the money and the PCC is under investigation. It has not been judicially established that the PCC financed the film or his campaign.

3. WILLER TOMAZ AND ONLINE GAMBLING

A separate investigation before Brazil’s Supreme Court, overseen by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, examines suspected money laundering involving attorney Willer Tomaz, a close friend of Flávio Bolsonaro.

Investigators are examining financial transactions involving gambling companies, payment platforms and businesses connected to Tomaz.

The exact court docket number has not been publicly verified.

4. THE RACHADINHA CORRUPTION CASE

Rio de Janeiro State Court (TJ-RJ)

Case: 0072696-34.2020.8.19.0000

Prosecutors formally accused Flávio Bolsonaro of crimes including embezzlement, money laundering and participation in a criminal organization involving alleged diversion of public employees’ salaries.

The charges were dismissed in 2022 after evidence was ruled inadmissible.

There was no conviction, but there was also no trial determining whether the alleged conduct occurred.

5. RODRIGO BACELLAR AND COMANDO VERMELHO

Brazilian Supreme Court

Case: PET 14,959

Full docket: 0123047-48.2025.1.00.0000

Rodrigo Bacellar, a political ally of Flávio Bolsonaro, was arrested and later became a criminal defendant in proceedings concerning alleged obstruction of a police operation targeting Comando Vermelho, another major Brazilian drug-trafficking organization.

6. MÁRCIO CANELLA AND ORGANIZED CRIME

Electoral case: RO-El 0601451-66.2026.6.19.0000

Another political ally supported by Flávio Bolsonaro, Márcio Canella, was arrested during an investigation into suspected organized-crime-related money laundering involving fuel businesses.

Brazilian electoral prosecutors have also questioned his candidacy over alleged connections to militias and Comando Vermelho.

These are separate proceedings involving Bolsonaro’s allies, not criminal charges against Flávio himself. 🧵

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington has told the Gulf to brace for a "short, intense" war on Iran right after the midterms, and the hardware is already moving

People briefed on the messages told the Wall Street Journal the warnings went through diplomatic and military channels to several Gulf capitals, and the moves behind them are visible: a Patriot battery flown in from Texas, troops pulled off exposed bases, bombers and fighters restocking, and a third carrier group plus a Marine unit joining roughly 20 warships already in theater next month.

Trump hasn't signed off but is reportedly leaning toward a large strike on infrastructure and nuclear sites, with Pickaxe Mountain, buried under hundreds of feet of rock, the target that just keeps coming up.

The White House says it won't discuss plans "that may or may not exist."

The catch is in the IAEA's own testimony: Grossi told the Security Council his agency has seen NO SIGN Iran is rebuilding the bombed sites, but his inspectors haven't been allowed in to confirm it, so the case for bombing rests on what nobody can 100% verify.

The blockade, meanwhile, has provably worked, with Iran's oil sales near zero, its reserve fleet empty and the rial down a third, which is why even hawks at FDD are telling Trump to hold the winning hand instead of trading it for a strike that Iran absorbed 20,000 times already.
