There are multiple unconfirmed reports that Bolsonaro fils has fled Brazil and may be in Argentina on his way to the US. The facts remain unknown but it figures that Trump's America would be a refuge for election losers facing money laundering charges. colombiaone.com/2026/10/27/f...

Q: Is El-Sayed a jihadist like President Trump said yesterday? JD VANCE: Well look, he certainly has a lot of weird friends

There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.

Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

Bolsonaro had planned to flee to Argentina right before his passport was confiscated

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

There's something deliciously ironic when someone tells a story about a nation that once led the world in science succumbing to religious extremism and dogmatism, and that someone is RFK Jr.

Crazy to see how a democracy with rule of law works…

A week to the midterms and the Republican president is in Mississippi. Which he won by 23 points. Yikes baby.

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

NEW: Appeals court rejects DOJ’s request for quick action in California voting case. On a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal now. Instead, a previously set TRO hearing at the district court should proceed on Tuesday. Tonight, at Law Dork:

The guy should read a book now and again. Maybe the worm ate the part of his brain that had some history in it.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Besides the whole saving the knowledge of antiquity and the numerals and the science and the exquisite art, it's pretty easy to google Arab Nobel prize winners

Also, maybe it's just me, but I feel like I don't need to be lectured on culture by a man who drove his first wife to suicide and motors around with dead bear cubs in his trunk because he plans to eat them later.

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Finally they got something on the mayor. Secret pickup basketball. Oh dear. Oh no. (The only legitimate complaint I can see is that it disrupts other NYPD operations, but then my question is why are they training recruits after 10 pm - and are they actually training recruits after 10 pm?)

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.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I don’t think younger people can understand how wild it was to have a Russian on the Enterprise.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I feel like I grew up with him. RIP.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.
