A Brazilian Supreme Court justice ordered a police investigation into alleged ties between a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance and the presidential campaign of Flávio Bolsonaro in the run-up to Sunday’s election.

Nach der Sperrung der Nachrichtenseite T24, der Zwangsverwaltung von Halk TV und den Verhaftungen von Journalist*innen gehen in der #Türkei tausende Menschen auf die Straße und fordern mehr #Pressefreiheit. Sie protestieren gegen Zensur und die Kriminalisierung kritischer Berichterstattung.

European nations asked to prepare for 3C of climate warming Good luck My suspicion is combined disruption to food production & supply chains, building unusability with heat & flooding, increased migration etc means civilisation as we know it would collapse by 3C www.euronews.com/2026/10/27/e...

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

Opinion: In nearly five decades in Brazilian public life, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s victory in Sunday’s election is his greatest political triumph. However, the fourth term as president he has now secured is also likely to be his most difficult. ft.trib.al/j9e8wqG

🇧🇷🗳️Il y a pas mal de résultats de bureaux de vote fermés qui remontent officieusement, et s'ils sont vrais, ils sont positifs pour Lula qui progresse aussi bien par rapport au 1er tour que par rapport au 2nd tour de 2022 dans la plupart des cas. Reste à avoir une vue d'ensemble.

Breaking News: Barack Obama forcefully criticized President Trump at a midterm rally, accusing him of historic “incompetence” in Washington.

Elon Musk’s battle-ready stance comes as a host of Democrats have said they are eager to wield the power of their office to investigate the world’s richest person should they win either chamber in the midterms.

Donald Trump has made it clear that he does not regard the war in Ukraine as a conflict with fault on both sides. His remarks have confirmed a growing impression that the U.S. is taking Russia leader Vladimir Putin’s side in the war.

After the Trump administration dismissed scientists behind a key national climate report last year, some of them decided they’d keep working on it — but from outside the government.

The Kremlin is counting the Trump administration’s latest turn against Ukrainian President Zelensky as a major triumph and, coupled with political upheaval in Europe, a sign that Western support for Ukraine is finally crumbling.

Mental nicht ganz einfach, nach einer weiteren schweren ballistischen Nacht in Kyjiw tiefe Ausführungen des US-Präsidenten zu lesen, Selenskyj habe irgendwelche Ozeane verloren und alles Weitere, was man selbst nach sieben Bier an einem Stammtisch nicht ernst nehmen kann.

Almost certain Vance will run for prez in 2028. If he wins, he'll occupy a WH with a freshly built ballroom, where he'll wine and dine the tech oligarchs and post-liberal conservatives who help propel him into power. This will be a critical moment since this is when we might see AGI.

Ten years ago the diesel scandal was at its peak. Now EVs are the clear winner, and still the (German) auto industry is fighting to be allowed to sell ICE cars ten years from now. Have they learned nothing?

1/ German far-right politician Alice Weidel, the co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, says that Ukraine has "already lost" the war with Russia and should sue for peace. She wants to end German support for Ukraine and expel all Ukrainian refugees. ⬇️

The White House was caught limiting Ukraine’s Starshield access. Trump’s newest press secretary came and went. And the DOJ raided a sitting congresswoman’s home in what could be an attempt to strip her of her citizenship. This is the week we are living in. Make sure you’re paying attention.

Die EU-Erweiterung ist eine strategische Chance & Notwendigkeit. Die #Ukraine, #Moldau & der Westbalkan brauchen eine glaubwürdige Beitrittsperspektive. Wir dürfen uns nicht im Klein-Klein verlieren. Sonst fällt unsere direkte Nachbarschaft an den Meistbietenden. @aussenminister.diplo.de 3/3

Das #SchwarzeMeer wird immer mehr zum Kriegsschauplatz. Die Angriffe auf zivile Schiffe sind ein unhaltbarer Zustand.

You voted to cover up the evidence, Mike.

But all of this is because of cloud cover and poor management. Seriously, the difference between Putin and Trump in this situation is that Putin understands this war is a zero-sum "game", while Trump doesn’t.

Wenn ein Cartoon gleich den Beweis liefert

So sieht gesellschaftliche Verwahrlosung aus:

1/ It looks like Putin told Trump that Ukraine was causing high gas prices, a lie that is convenient for Trump.

The EU has approved its biggest package of sanctions against Russia since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, targeting the Kremlin’s ability to make missiles.
