Worth noting that the US has an extradition treaty with Brazil.

So ... are we cutting off diplomatic recognition of the elected government in Brazil? Are we sponsoring a government in exile? Have they thought this through at all?

NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

At this point, no-one really believes these cases will go anywhere (thank God). This makes it all the more galling that taxpayer resources are being used to baselessly harass the President's enemies. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Drone tech has so many incredible applications for so many industries and if you want to make any sort of living you have to work for an illiterate Nazi pervert dweeb who collects erotic anime figurines.

Walter Koenig's wishes were that he be cremated, his ashes put into a funerary wessel, and he be interred in William Shatner's mailbox, so Shatner would only be able to ignore him one day a week.

SCOOP: The CDC's deputy director is leaving. Jen Shuford, an infectious-disease physician who had been Texas's health commissioner, was hired to help restore trust in CDC. Now she's out after six months. More with @lenasun.bsky.social.

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

The Justice Department is drawing up contingency plans to potentially intervene in next week’s midterm elections, three national security officials tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-prep-...

Lol. This is from the per curiam order:

NEW: As expected, on a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit dismisses DOJ's appeal in the US v. California case over DOJ's claims relating to "likely noncitizen" voting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Well, this will certainly be news to the Aldi’s frosted mini wheats I’m having for dinner.

I mean, it DID look rigged. Heavily. In Bolsonaro’s favor. He lost anyway.

I know we are all inured, but this is an appalling and unacceptable thing for a US president to say about another country's election.

If voter fraud happened at anywhere near the scale they keep claiming it does, paying out rewards like this would bankrupt the country. This is how you know they know it’s not a real problem.

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Check out how easy this is.

My Portuguese might be a little rusty, but to all my Brazilian followers I’d like to say: “You’ve reached your monthly usage limit. Purchase more credits to continue using Claude”

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.

Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?

Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.

Good lord, Cleveland.com went right to the jugular and told the truth.

even if you’re not a sports fan I encourage you to head to a bar when your local team is doing well. it’s infectious

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

This cartoon of mine is shortlisted for the European Cartoon Award. I'm pretty happy with that. Not sure quite what the cartoons were judged on, but the fact it seems to be relevant EVERY SINGLE DAY must help.

im no big money political consultant or anything but im not sure “children lie about being raped for attention” is the most compelling midterm closing message for republicans
