Peter Thiel operatives threaten coup in Brasil

"A day after the Brazilian police asked him to hand over his passports because he was being investigated in a money-laundering case." Bolsonaro is being investigated over links to a Brazilian lawyer who is accused of laundering more than $1 billion through a vast fraud scheme. Trump's kinda guy.

US says it killed five people in strike on alleged drug boat https://aje.news/kcpzf2

"If the country is incapable of letting its citizens know whether or not its foreign policy is for sale, the difference between a democratic republic and the secretive autocracy that tried to influence it will be much narrower than most of us would like to think."

Fascists have to stick together since they're notoriously unpopular.

The Trump administration plans to announce a proposal to roll back Biden-era regulations on emissions from the oil and gas industry. https://www.washingtonsun.com/energy-environment/trump-planned-rule-relax-methane-emission-restrictions-oil-companies

🗳️ Trump’s DOJ claimed — without evidence — that more than 400 noncitizens voted in Washington, ordering the state to set aside their ballots. But the state’s top election official noted there have been only 15 documented cases of illegal voting there since 1982: https://demdock.com/4stP13B

We’re all trying to find the guy who did this…

Thread!! We are being suckered.

I wrote last week about how much debt there is in the AI ecosystem and how much of that is off AI companies' balance sheets. The upshot of that is that they will need to increase revenues at an unreal pace to pay their fast-mounting bills. That looks increasingly unlikely. bsky.app/profile/matt...

The family of Alex Pretti, gunned down in Minneapolis during the ICE protests, says they haven't heard a word from federal authorities about charging the agents who disarmed and shot him. dailymontanan.com/2026/10/27/r...

Importantly, Hutchinson was also the one who said Trump dismissed concerns about weapons in the Jan 6 crowd because he knew they weren’t going to target him.

When Trump says he doesn't "give a damn" about high gas prices because "we're making a fortune" -- he means it literally: www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

A federal judge in Texas ordered Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to let his Democratic opponent review more than a thousand pages of unredacted emails between himself and Elon Musk. https://www.washingtonsun.com/legal/judge-greg-abbott-hand-over-communications-emails-elon-musk

Damn good question.

RFK Jr. may not know anything about Arabian literature, but he is certainly familiar with (at least) 40 thieves.

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

I have Tan Suit at 19 and Kamala’s wired headphones at 24 personally

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

One heck of a story about how oil companies face no consequences for their serious violations in Oklahoma. This Oil Company Is Linked to 1,000 Pollution Incidents and Other Violations. Oklahoma Never Punished It. @nickbowlin.bsky.social @readfrontier.bsky.social

This administration is killing us. Vote accordingly.

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

If we look at what Russia is doing on the ground every day, I don't think there's anything to suggest that peace is what they're seeking. What they're seeking is submission."

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson: "I think the key must be to support Ukraine. Peace must be on Ukraine's terms. Peace must be achieved from a position of strength, not by appeasing Russia. If talks lead to that, then talks are a good thing.

UPDATE: Trump’s DOJ is fighting to send armed agents back to the homes of naturalized citizens to ask about their voter eligibility. This comes after a lower court blocked the armed visits in 9 states.

"For nearly a year, immigration authorities have detained and sought to deport a mentally ill man whose mother, lawyers and public records say was born in the United States and not Jamaica as he claims..." apnews.com/article/ice-...

To reiterate: his direct family, official US documents, AND the medical experts who evaluated him are all saying that Phillip James is a Florida-born man who is suffering from schizophrenic delusions... but DHS disagrees.

There are strong claims that ICE has been detaining an American citizen who was born in Florida. Phillip James, 39, has been detained for at least 10 months. He's currently in Indiana facing deportation to Jamaica. 🧵

JD Vance: "Today, the Dept of Agriculture is announcing millions of dollars in new grants toward 10 meatpacking facilities right here in the state of Kansas"

“covert surveillance inside houses of worship… “interrogations of churches’ staff… “ICE agents hauled off a nun who was wearing her habit and walking down the sidewalk en route to Sunday Mass… “suing a Catholic diocese in New Mexico to seize 14 acres of their land…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

He just incoherently blurts out things he thinks sound scary with absolutely no connection to reality.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

Good grief. That is scary.

But isn't Microsoft a big AI company? I was told that AI would make everybody wealthy and happy. Is AI...taking people's jobs? Because that would be really bad. If that were the case Microsoft would probably try to keep it secret, maybe by offering tens of thousands of workers "buyouts."

⚡️️ US holding up air defense missiles for Ukraine for nearly a month, Zelensky says. A senior Ukrainian official previously told the Kyiv Independent that the batch awaiting U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's approval was "significant."

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

The U.S. is the only major economy where planet-warming pollution has increased dramatically in the last year.

Yeah

West Virginia has been part of a nationwide push, partially funded by billionaire-backed political groups, to use taxpayer dollars to fund private schools. Among the proponents are the Koch family network and Pennsylvania billionaire Jeffrey Yass.

Why it matters: Attorney General Todd Blanche says “a number of states” could be next. If the DOJ succeeds here, voters elsewhere could see the same playbook used to stop their ballots from being counted. Read more: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Disavow the jet.

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.

The Russian drone operators call this "human safari."
