Bolsonaro reportedly left Brazil without his passport and fled to the US. If he wants to come into this country, he should do it the right way. Legally, with the proper papers. If not, he should be turned over to ICE.

Flávio Bolsonaro fleeing to Florida is no anomaly. Under Trump's corrupt authoritarian regime, America is fast becoming a sanctuary for deposed dictators, aspiring autocrats, and fugitive pedophiles. The deranged psychopath is rapidly transforming the country into the ultimate safe haven for far-right criminals fleeing justice.

This whole Bolsonaro thing is crazy because international fugitives used to pick Russia to run from accountability. Now, they pick America. They feel safe here. Disgusting. We need to deport every one of these thugs Trump lets in.

BREAKING: Allies of failed Brazilian Presidential Candidate Flávio Bolsonaro say the Trump administration is aware of him illegally fleeing from Brazil and that Trump intends to grant him political asylum after his election loss to Lula. He is reportedly en route to the US (Miami/Dallas area) with family, having missed a court deadline to surrender his passports amid a money-laundering probe.

We really moved on too quickly from Donald Trump Jr. marrying Jeffrey Epstein’s personal bankers’ daughter, and a Russian oligarch paid for the whole thing in a blatant bribery scheme.

Trump told us he needed Greenland to keep China and Russia out of the Arctic Circle. Then he gave away Alaska's North Slope to Russia. Just ... invited his buddies in. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

Trump was never sending Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace. He was having those two crooks sell our Alaskan public land and our Alaskan natural resources to the fucking Russians as if it were his. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.

And another. Trump isn’t just betraying Ukraine to the Kremlin, he’s selling out America too.

This is strange. I was told the foreign countries pay the tariffs, so why would this help in the election?

The U.S. is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections wsj.com/politics/policy/trum… via @WSJ

Exclusive | Trump Expected to Remove Some Tariffs on Canada in Bid to Help Susan Collins

The move, which could come as soon as Friday, would remove tariffs on some agricultural and forestry goods but could raise levies on other products.

Jesus, what a fucking idiot! It’s his fucking state. Who makes these people???? Iowa has extensive cycling infrastructure including bike lanes and trails, plus RAGBRAI, the world's largest multi-day bicycle tour which has crossed the state annually since 1973 with thousands of riders.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Elon immediately suspended this account that showed Nick Sortor’s recorded call to the mental health facility was AI generated and is preventing community notes on the Sortor post. It’s all hands on deck trying to make the fake Talarico story stick

To be clear a ICE ran down a man on foot who has been in the United States for the last 34 years since he was 14. They broke both his legs and he wasn’t the person they were looking for. Terrorist organization

“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked. “I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a 9yo rested her head on the table, a 6yo pretended to fly an airplane, and a 3yo played with the mic. Many in attendance didn't have an attorney — and a 13yo was ordered removed. A look inside, thru sketches.

This is so brutal, so cruel, so horrifically unfair. There is nothing that shows the horror of the Trump administration in this country more than this.

CNN is granted access inside an immigration court hearing where dozens of children facing deportation, some as young as three years old, appealed to stay in the United States. Many of them facing the judge without an attorney representing them.
