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.

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

Is POTUS electioneering? He knows he’s going to lose and does not care…what if he’s just meeting with fascist law enforcement officer to get their agreement to seize ballots for him or surrender ballots to his FBI so that they’renot counted in those states he thinks he should have won?

In Kyiv, two people were killed in a Russian attack overnight. A Russian drone struck their apartment on the 20th floor, starting a fire‼️ ​People were killed simply for being at home. ​Witkoff commands it too, probably.
