Here we go again. In 2022, Alexandre de Moraes used emergency anti-disinformation powers to police online political speech during the decisive final stretch of the election to ensure @LulaOficial could get elected. Even with that exponential advantage, Lula barely managed to come out ahead by 1% in official results making the 2022 margin the closest Brazilian presidential election result to date.
Lula then promptly tried to codify into law the Moraes censorship tools that helped secure his election in 2022, but the Brazilian Congress flatly refused to bless an even broader version of that censorship architecture.
Now, understanding the Brazilian Congress would never pass such a repugnant censorship package, Lula is moving to impose it by presidential decree four months before the 2026 election.
When speech rules cannot pass democratically and are desperately imposed by signature of the guy sinking in the polls, it raises a legitimate question about whether elections in such circumstances can credibly be called free and fair.

Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country.
Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.
