Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

Charlie Brown out here speaking more economic sense than any Wall Street analyst I've ever heard.

I keep saying this: Stephen Miller is trying hard to preemptively scapegoat someone ELSE in case the GOP loses Texas. But they're naming him by name. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Jaws dropped at new allegations against President Donald Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche released by House Judiciary Committee Democrats in a new report on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

I lived through Yeltsin, and Trump's behavior mirrors him so precisely it's disturbing. The same clownish performance. The same promises. The same destruction of a country while the leader talks nonsense and dances.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

EXCLUSIVE: GOP candidates could have stopped Wall Street from driving up gas prices with speculative trading. Instead, some of them said they KNEW the oil markets had been compromised ... but did nothing about it. Here are the details...

Brazil's Presidential election Lula 64.2 million (52%) Bolsanaro 59.8 million (48%) Lula is +10.5 million and Bolsanaro +2.7 million on first round there were almost +3 million more votes cast in the second round, as well as 9 million votes (8%) for other candidates in the 45% to 47% first round.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

I love it for Ramaswamy that he has tanked his entire political career and made Amy Acton a classic study in courage with one, single ad drop.

Lula vows to regulate Meta in his victory speech

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Brazil is making smarter decisions: 🇧🇷 They convicted their ex-president of an attempted coup after he lost a presidential election. 🇧🇷 They rejected his son after he tried to replace his father. 🇧🇷 Lula is a Trump critic & member of the Worker's Party on his 4th non-consecutive term as president.

Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while.

Lula wins 4th term! I love it that Lula’s win is terrible news for Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's former criminal president who is serving a 27-year jail sentence for his botched power grab and hoping to be freed to be given a role in government had his son prevailed. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

The size of the 'blue wave' isn't just about how far Dems get in the. U.S. House. There are hundreds of local offices that could flip if Dems have a great night—attorneys general, county governments, utility commissions, school boards. Lots to peruse on my guide to 670 items to watch on Nov. 3!

Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

deduction of up to $323mn, more than double what he paid for the entire resort. The most important source of Trump's wealth has consistently been tax fraud.

course was a natural habitat worth protecting, and kept right on running the club. Forbes estimates the write-off could land around $825mn. He has done this at least five times since 2005. New York's attorney general concluded that two of those appraisals were inflated. In Doral, he claimed a

Trump doesn't pay taxes. So why should you? Trump pulled in $1.4bn from crypto grifts in 2025, plus more than $200mn from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500mn. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

THE POPE, MELANIA TRUMP, AND THE UKRAINE CEASEFIRE 🕊️ Oct. 16: Pope Leo calls Putin. Pushes for a ceasefire 🕊️ Oct. 19: Pope Leo calls Zelenskyy. Same mission 😈 Oct. 23: Melania announces the ceasefire. The White House calls her the “exclusive intermediary” The Pope wasn’t even mentioned.

NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

The whole role of Rupert Murdoch TV as a fount for fact-free partisan political disinformation is really amazing. As reported in media around the world, Pope Leo placed calls to Putin and Zelenskyy and got them to agree this ceasefire for relief to the encircled city.

Dozens of employees at Boston Dynamics have petitioned the company to stop the sale of its robot dogs to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
