Just here to agree the way Orban’s Hungary was funding a lot of right wing media efforts over here… There is no coincidence that Carlson and all the major right wing players spent time over there

WATCH: Yesterday, Lula won a stunning comeback victory to defeat Flavio Bolsonaro. Brazilians took to the streets to celebrate, their parties reflecting the joy of the mobilizations that propelled his win! All over Brasil last night, you heard people singing “Ole ole olaaaa, Lulaaaaa, Luuula".

For 30 years FoxNews brainwashed viewers to believe white people are the most discriminated against group in America Absurd, but it is the core of idiot MAGA dogma. It’s the lie that fuels their hate and their devotion to that racist squatting in what’s left of the WH I don’t know the cure

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

Brazil was of two huge election results today—alongside the defeat of the nationalist, authoritarian leader of Serbia: "the slate of candidates selected by protesting students had won at least 135 seats in Serbia’s 250-member legislature" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/w...

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.

Jack: Ashley Moody’s trying to brand you as a radical… Nixon: Her views are definitely radical because she voted to end health care for over 440,000 people here in the state alone, and millions across the country. She’s also radical because she stole $10 million from sick kids…

For folks interested in the Brazil runoff election (Bolsonaro Jr v. Lula) @taniel.bsky.social is kind enough to manage a thread of returns.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

I'm going to start this thread on the presidential count in Brazil—so people who are interesting can follow along. With 3% of vote counted, Lula up 51.3 to 48.7 (that's a lead of 103K). Pattern in 2022 & in R1 was Lula down big at 1st, then closing gap, but that's shaken up by today's 2-hour delay.

Van Hollen: The corporate media is essentially doing the bidding of the billionaire class. The exchanges they’ve had with Abdul El-Sayed are a perfect case of that. Because his campaign is built on 3 things… You would never know that, right, from his interviews with folks in the corporate media.

Something I think is important, that other folks have tended to skip over ... the DOJ argument relies on the effect of hypothetical confused voters, but Alaska uses ranked choice voting, and confusion wouldn't disenfranchise anyone. They could simply rank both Sullivans without a problem.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Yet MORE evidence that Wedgewood/Andrew Prater was insider trading: bsky.app/profile/corn...

World’s Biggest Stagflation Truther@corncobanalysis.bsky.social

Okay, this is clearer-cut insider trading for Wedgewood: 7/5 poll gets released showing Hong up, Barnes second. Then this Kalshi account makes trades on Barnes. Second poll gets released on 7/21, but interestingly, the user never sold! So may have lost all money, lol. kalshi.com/ideas/profil...

Texas Tribune@texastribune.org

Pamphlets purporting to come from a transgender rights organization — mailed to families across Texas and igniting criticism from conservatives — came from a company formed last month in Wyoming. The Texas Transgender Student Union listed a Houston-area post office box as the address on the mailers.

This is what the flyers look like. Not from a real organization. Their entire purpose is to increase the salience of trans issues before the election. Billionaires can do this because we are in a completely unaccountable environment. The Federal Elections Commission has not had a quorom in 2 years.

In an operation that costs millions of dollars, a deceptive flyer that is intended to spark moral panic among parents about trans issue was sent out across Texas. Hey, do you know of anyone obsessed with trans people that just dumped a ton of money in Texas? newrepublic.com/post/216856/...

I found one set of Kalshi bets from AndrewOhio53 allegedly behind Wedgewood: They posted a fake 6/25/26 LA poll (that was wrong by 18 pts) with Fleming up is posted, which moved odds. But AndrewOhio53 did NOT bet on anything until well after the fact. Which is funny. @beshearstan.bsky.social
