The right approach to corruption is not just ethics reform but public financing of elections so this new Dem class doesn’t have to beg rich people nonstop and also can stop TEXTING ME FOR MONEY NONSTOP.

“Corra como Flávio Bolsonaro”, diz cartaz exibido na Maratona de Nova York
Que lindo ver a infâmia internacional 😅

The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

This story was in and out of the news in one day HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
This is the biggest story of the midterms btw. Trump DHS appointees "wanted the agency that protects election systems to get and hack a voting machine," and directed the agency "not to alert the voting machine company if it uncovered flaws." propublica.org/article/cisa-…

…and the reason for this is the cocksure don’t see all the nuance and complexities and context…so they don’t realize that doubt is warranted.
But this isn’t even a “modern” idea. Various commentators throughout history have made similar points.

Democrats create good times. Good times create Republican voters. Republicans create bad times. Bad times create democratic voters.
Cinda Banda, a lifelong Christian from the Rio Grande Valley, voted for Trump in 2024. Abortion was her motivating issue.
But now, battling cancer and taking care of six kids, Banda's voting priorities have shifted. With affordability at the top of her list, she said she voted for a Democrat for the first time.

BREAKING: The U.S. Army announced that is now training soldiers in North Carolina to dig mass battlefield graves for American troops for the first time in decades, rehearsing how to handle mass casualties as Trump's war on Iran is near. The Army says it hasn't needed to do this on a large scale since the Korean War.

CNN Brasil reports that Trump personally authorized Flávio Bolsonaro's entry into the U.S., and that American officials knew about the Brazilian passport order BEFORE he fled.
Folha is now reporting that Marco Rubio actively participated in arranging his departure, citing sources connected to both governments.
If that reporting holds up, we're looking at the U.S. helping a defeated presidential candidate evade another country's judicial authorities.
That's one hell of a diplomatic scandal.

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

Marco Rubio owns this along with Trump. Using our tax dollars to harbor that fugitive Bolsonaro, while at the same time saying we don’t have any money for AMERICAN health care. It’s absurd. No common sense!

The next Democratic president should pledge to have his Secretary of State cancel these visas on day one of a new administration in Jan 2029.
🚨🚨BREAKING:
WASHINGTON (@AP) — State Department says it will give US visas to defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family.

On their first day in office, the next Democratic president should deport both Bolsonaro brothers back to Brazil. They should not have one extra second of safe refuge from their crimes in the United States.

Flavio Bolsonaro, the pathetic scumbag coward he is, has apparently fled Brazil after his humiliating election loss to avoid having to face the corruption charges that await him. Meanwhile this was the speech Lula gave right before he handed himself in to face frivolous charges:

Incredible thread on the Brazilian election.
The Bolsonaro movement is sick. Seems to be like MAGA but somehow crazier.

Elon Musk is without a doubt the most grotesque example of extreme wealth being mistaken for virtuous genius that I’ve ever seen, no contest.
A dude whose business empire has had the exceptional luxury of upwards of $38 BILLlON in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits that lectures us on government waste, fraud, and abuse.
He takes a literal fucking chainsaw to government aid, while hundreds of thousands die from the lack of access, and simultaneously engorges himself at the public pig trough of endless money.
He then takes the grift cash to buy elections, outright rig them, gains extraordinary access to the backrooms and convinces panting sycophants that he’s “fighting the establishment.”
He IS the establishment.
Years and years of missed deadlines, self driving promises just around the corner. Spectacular theatrical marketing presentations presented as new technology, with an army of ball riding zombies to explain why his latest failure is actually evidence of 5D chess wizardry.
All in line to be the friend he doesn’t have.
He was emailing Epstein to find about the “wildest parties” on child rape island, and you people still clamber.
Speaking of mouth breathing followers, the cult surrounding him is even more disturbingly dangerous.
Every glaring contradiction becomes an insult worthy misunderstanding.
Every dumb comment is a masterpiece. Every legitimate totally fair criticism becomes proof that the questioner is stupid, jealous, or secretly working against humanity itself.
It’s so blatantly a cult.
At what point does this bizarre admiration become deliberately and completely giving up independent thought?
You can acknowledge the success of his companies and the remarkable engineering feats without cosplaying that he’s some infallible prophet.
And give his employees some credit.
He’s a trillionaire with huge political influence, a pretty pathetic appetite for public attention indicative of someone that’s insecure, and a documented history of promise after promise that he doesn’t deliver on.
Please, don’t confuse money with intelligence.
They rarely go hand in hand.
Also, realize that proximity to great power is not synonymous with moral authority. The truth is historically the opposite.
And for fucks sake, stop worshipping people who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

Folks, Brazil is the perfect example of what I’ve said about this platform and Community Notes since Elon launched it.
Tonight and all day tomorrow, your feed will fill with thousands of posts claiming the Brazil election was stolen because Lula’s buddy on the Supreme Court extended voting by 2 hours.
That claim, we already know, is absolute bullshit.
Both campaigns asked for the extension, Flávio Bolsonaro’s included, after bus shortages and bad weather hit voters in several cities.

Almost every one of those posts will run note-free. The few that get a Community Note will get it after the damage is done.
MAGA propaganda spreads like wildfire here for one reason: Elon Musk designed it that way. Community Notes has always been a red herring.
Give it a few hours. Musk will repost one of his favorite stooges with a one-word “Concerning,” and that lie will land in front of his 241 million followers.
And Community Notes will never catch up.
So when I call Elon Musk Trump’s Joseph Goebbels, I mean every word.
Both Brazil candidates requested voting extensions.
MAGA, once again, is lying about a "rigged" election.

"The campaigns of Lula (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) requested this Sunday, October 25th, that the Superior Electoral Court extend the voting hours for the second round until 7 PM in localities affected by problems that hindered voters' access to the polls. The requests have different justifications."
"While the PT campaign points to failures in public
transportation, the Bolsonaro campaign mainly cites rain, flooding, road closures, and changes to polling locations."
"Flávio's campaign is requesting two additional hours of voting in 17 municipalities in São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. The team is also requesting that the announcement of the presidential results only begin
after the polls have closed in the areas covered by the extension."
