Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

We're aware of a phishing attack that has compromised more than 4,500 accounts. The attack spread through posts promoting a fake offer of a government payment. We have temporarily suspended the compromised accounts and are working with their owners to secure them and restore access.

No Kings Day isn’t just a call to vote early against fascism and the murderous MAGA Nazis who wish to do us all great harm, it is a clear message that millions of Americans including myself will never succumb to or allow a Dictatorship in this country. VOTE EARLY, VOTE BLUE. 💙👊

Today, during the peak of our national day of action, the No Kings Coalition Instagram account was taken down and is no longer accessible. This is a clear attempt to silence the No Kings Coalition & prevent future communications. Don't let them silence No Kings. Spread the word.

Q: Can you name a time when you voted against Trump and it changed the outcome? SUSAN COLLINS: At one point, I had organized people to vote against Sec. Hegseth. At the very last minute one of our Republicans changed his mind. Otherwise he would've been defeated. Q: So it didn't change the outcome

With agreeing to purchase Russian diesel, the orange felon, MAGA regime and fascist republicans will now be funneling American dollars directly to murderous Dictator Putin’s war against Ukraine and have all but cemented their treason against the United States. This isn’t a presidency, it’s a coup.

To be clear, the orange felon has always been a criminal, he’s always been a fascist, he’s always been a racist, he’s always been a rapist, he’s always been in bed with Russia, he’s always been a traitor and the American state media have always normalized him. Wake TF up before it’s too late.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is a hero and American patriot who cares about the United States. The orange felon and his fascist Nazi MAGA cult have been actively stealing from and destroying the United States for over a decade. Nothing will ever make me believe otherwise.

MAGA lunatic Susan Collins wasn’t just working to take away rights from other women, she was also heavily engaging in an illegal bribery scheme. Not only a lifelong fraud, but a lifelong crook.

ICE-Gestapo killers shot and injured a DoorDash delivery driver in Texas whilst he was doing his job. I’ll say it again, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists.

nice of him to give away the game. so, they want americans to "be healthy" enough to... work more. notice how they don't talk at all about happiness or well being. they only want to extract the maximum value out of you until they dispose of you

Dr Oz: "I'll give you a number you'll never forget -- if we can get the average American to be so healthy, so with it, so vital that they just want to work a little longer, it's worth a trillion dollars to the US economy"

If the White House Press Corps does anything but boycott all White House events going forward, it's a spectacular act of institutional cowardice. You don't give a *single inch* to fascists—and that means standing together rather than treating fascism as someone else's problem.

Heather Cox Richardson is a force of nature. Her '250 to 250' series is the best and brightest homage to this country's 250th birthday, illuminating key moments in our experiment in democracy. Glad to see it will continue. @hcrichardson.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/250-to-250...

If you needed other reasons to vote against her, from one soulless pol to another: “Former Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), a prominent centrist who left the Democratic Party at the end of his Senate career, has endorsed Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), praising her as the ‘soul of the Senate,'” The Hill reports.

ive sat and watched for 25+ years as republicans shit all over us and time and time again the media refuses to call it out and the democrats sit on their hands. the gop is the source of evil but their consistent allies are the dems and the press.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

The punishments must be swift, severe and merciless. Absolutely NO deals. And that must include eliminating the GOP as a party and declaring them a domestic terrorist organization. This era requires major, unprecedented changes that the Dems can’t cower from.

Before you pay attention to any poll, ask yourself: 1. Who still has a landline? 2. Who answered calls from unknown callers? 3. Who wastes their time with surveys? And 4. Who cares what such stupid, lonely people think?

Drunkard rapist Fox host Pete Hegseth was rattled by protesters heckling him today and couldn’t stop whining about it whilst ranting his hateful stupid into a microphone. It disgusts me every day that we went from a highly decorated black 4-star General to a thin-skinned Nazi.

Fascist republicans accused President Obama of disgracing the Presidency for wearing a tan suit in the briefing room, now they’re okay with dirt bikes doing backflips on the south lawn, a bulldozed east wing, gold-plated decor and a UFC arena installed on the grounds. Racism.

Case in point, the media: “The case drew widespread attention after the woman posted video of the traffic stop on TikTok, where she questioned the deputy’s claim that he saw a device in her ‘right hand.’ She said she does not have a right hand.” There is no “say” — SHE DOES NOT HAVE A RIGHT HAND!

New York Democrats have introduced a bill that aims to tax 100% of all funds any New Yorker receives from the orange felon’s Jan 6th slush fund. Love that. 💙👊

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.
