Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

2nd term he is not an official US negotiator but a private citizen. This is what the State Department is for. It is called treason.

Q: Do you tell Elon Musk to bring back Starlink for Ukraine? TRUMP: I don't want to say. I don't want to comment on it. The bottom line is he put it back

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994 giving security assurances to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and borders in exchange for surrendering 1,900 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantling. The U.S. pledged to seek United Nations action if Ukraine became the victim of aggression.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

So the United States Secretary of State doesn’t know anything about global warfare satellites besides what he reads in the paper?

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

The Trump admin now acknowledges its plan to paint the Eisenhower Executive Office Building would damage the historical character of the 138-year-old landmark. But the White House still wants to move ahead. 
The reason: Trump wants the building to look more like the White House.

washingtonpost.comTrump administration admits painting Eisenhower building would harm landmarkOfficials found they could clean the building and improve its lighting without harming its character. But the White House favors covering its granite in paint.

Trump doesn’t care about the general public. His only concern is walling off public lands into private enclaves and business opportunities for himself and wealthy cronies.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Four sources identify Elon Musk as personally proposing Starshield restrictions to Trump, while three officials trace the order to the White House. Ukraine received no warning. Its interceptor drones were disrupted as Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of ballistic missiles.

Elon Musk reportedly proposed restrictions that crippled Ukraine’s Starshield drone defences during Russian attacks. Other sources traced the order to the White House. The deliberate slowdown raises questions about possible sabotage of Ukraine’s defences.

Judge's' ruling to halt toppling of more trees by Trump Adm in DC is fierce "It's a coincidence, the govt seems to suggest, that (they) cut down 100s of trees at the course weeks after the President asked the dept to cut down trees at the Course and not, say, any other time in the last 7 years"
