I cannot believe what’s happening in Brazil right now. With 73% of the vote counted, it actually looks like Lula will win.

With 60% of the vote counted, Lula leads Flavio by 1% of the vote. Is this a mirage, of a miracle?

If Flavio continues to increase his lead over Lula, the race could be called early. What a sad day for Brazil and the world.

GRANDPASAURUS: “FARMERS — Most of the $8 BILLION bailout will go to corporate farms… meanwhile you’re losing billions from Trump’s SNAP & USAID cuts… what’s your plan for 2027?” 🧑‍🌾

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-ballroom complex.

Trump: "It's going to be the greatest ballroom and military complex combination ever built!" (Has any ballroom/military complex EVER been built?!)

I was born in 1966, and I can honestly say that the last 10 years has been the worst decade of my life. 2026 so far has been the pits.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

I did not have a good Sunday. Tomorrow will be worse. Mondays are always horrible. Mondays have been horrible for years.

The significance of the loss of Brazil should not be underestimated. It is a bad omen for the upcoming U.S. elections as well. The polls failed to predict the loss of Brazil to the fascist Bolsonaro dynasty.

I’m convinced they won’t need malfeasance or bribery. In the end, they will be saved by the ignorance and psychopathy of the people who fail to vote against them.

I stand by what I wrote early this year: Trump and Co. will definitely try to steal the midterms. And they will fail, because it's too big. Trying to buy votes wasn't part of their scheme then. But you should see it as a sign of desperation — that they know their other malfeasance won't be enough.

The question we should have is whether we allow people in a democracy to vote to destroy democracy. If the answer is ”yes,” the “democracy” at issue isn’t worth much.

Brazil is wrecked and it will drag the rest of the world down further with it.

Near-final results of the first round: Bolsonaro 47.2%, Lula 45%. Four years ago, Lula finished 5% ahead in the first round before winning the runoff by less than 2%. Not just that, but the rest of the field is perceived as more pro-Bolsonaro this time.

Yet another example of how ignorant this country is. Maybe Ohio 9th is an abysmal place dominated by hateful people. Marcy Kaptur is weak, desperate, and dumb. She almost lost two years ago. She shouldn’t have been nominated again. Now she’s appealing to the ignorant white-bread cornfield Ohio 9th.

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

Trump’s Iran War is completely unconstitutional. Congress never authorized it. A majority in Congress wants to end it, but Speaker Johnson won’t allow a vote. The Constitution is flawed; but the war is nonetheless unconstitutional. Trump destroyed U.S. credibility, and we’re never getting it back.

Fox airs graphic showing an overwhelming majority of voters do not believe the Trump administration has a strategy to end the Iran war

Donald Trump is a twisted, psychotic, pathetic tyrant. He’s openly at war with reality and everything that’s remotely decent or even benign. He’s a monstrous asshole. He’s also dangerous. If his cabinet were not a pack of spineless sycophants, he would be removed from office via the 25th Amendment.

Millions of Americans may not receive their mail ballots in time, or at all, because of a secretive, court-defying system being rushed into place by the Trump administration. Two months before the midterms. This isn't by chance. It's a blatant attempt to steal an election. Share this everywhere.

democracydocket.comUSPS rush to implement Trump order could cause ‘catastrophic failure’ of mail voting, whistleblower claimsA whistleblower claims in a new report that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has embarked on a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement President Donald Trump’s mail voting order ahead of the midterms,…

It’s my opinion that most Democrats (politicians & voters) are in deep denial about how destroyed and defunct the United States is. I don’t think there will be consequences for the people responsible for the destruction. Even if Democrats were serious about accountability, it’s not even possible.

America is lawless. Are Dems ready to get tough on crime? A THREAD.

I am either aware of more horrors because algorithms are showing me more horrors, or algorithms are showing me more horrors because there are simply more horrors to show me. I think the case is the latter; and I am, in fact, genuinely horrified on a very regular basis.

Platner will withdraw by Friday afternoon or evening. He should of course withdraw immediately, but he will withdraw.
