What happened in Brazil has already happened in Venezuela, the Phllippines, Spain & in more than 79 countries across the world, including the U.S. in 2020. As this is being exposed, they are becoming bolder & more tyrannical - but also more desparate. Expect to see the same or similar in the U.S. over the midterms.
I’m outside the Brazilian embassy in London standing up for freedom and democracy against communist tyranny. Lula is a dictator and the Supreme Court his cronies. Flávio Bolsonaro won the elections. Brazilians must protest. Free Brazil!

RT @FlavioBolsonaro: CARTA À NAÇÃO BRASILEIRA 🇧🇷 28.10.26
Qualquer pessoa que esteja em segurança num país democrático e que respeita a liberdade de expressão deve falar sobre o ocorrido ontem no Brasil. Os brasileiros já não têm liberdade para fazê-lo. Represente-os.

One of Brazil's few independent left-wing parties, the Trotskyist @PCO29, has long been vehemently opposed to Moraes' censorship regime (their own accounts have been banned), and are adamant that Moraes is persecuting his own and Lula's critics, including Flavio Bolsonaro:👇

Bingo!! Lula’s days are numbered and he knows it. That’s why there was no celebrating his victory in Brazil and why he immediately demanded Bolsonaro’s arrest and massive censorship across the country. He was taking the steps needed, to solidify his dictatorship, masquerading as democracy. Except the rug was pulled out from under him, as he was stealing the election. He knows he’s isolated. He knows he has no outside help and now he is “trapped” within Brazil awaiting justice. His forces could do nothing to stop Bolsonaro’s exit to safety. Which means that he doesn’t have the control over Brazil that he thought he had. He thought he held all the cards, like he did when Biden was president. But he really underestimated the “Trump Card.” And now look at his face. The arrogance is gone. That is the face of someone who ALREADY knows they are defeated and just awaiting punishment. It’s coming.
This is not the face of a winner. He knows it, too. The electoral fraud was broadcast live to the entire world. He seized power brazenly, right in front of everyone. That’s why he looks the way he does. He probably intended to take all his anger out on Bolsonaro, but Bolsonaro has already made it to safety. This communist devil has nothing left but to wait for the day he is arrested, just like Maduro. 🇧🇷🔥

PS: Thank you for telling us what your plan is. Keep in mind the other side is not disclosing theirs.
Here is the Democrat plan to steal the election & the country - Sen Markey lays it out gleefully. When he speaks like this, it means this plan is already in motion. They have prepped the battlespace for a massive show of people on the streets to support their false narrative that Pres Trump is “desperate” & to prevent him from using any levers of power that he has, they are getting ahead of him & accusing him of an “election crime” when they will be the ones committing the crime. Note how he says they have “lawyers” who have already drafted legal challenges & their plan is to use the show of force on the streets to pressure th Supreme Court justices to capitulate & rule in ther favor. If I was a betting man, I would bet that means they already have enough buy in from some of the justices (but not all) to be able to make that claim. Most notably, they are trying to separate Republicans from Trump, which means from the people of the United States. He offers Republicans a way out - which is really a veiled threat: come with us, abandon Trump & you will be good. That is the message here. This is what an actual insurrection looks like - a real one. They have no intention of letting Pres Trump finish out his term. This is a plan for a total takeover. And if they didn’t already have some Republicans on board, they would not be making this offer publicly. So there you have it - this is how they plan to screw the President & the people of this country. And all those eating their own side alive every day are playing right into their hands. Well done to all. If you believe in the Republic, you are about to lose it. God help us.

Da Nang Dick doesn’t want Americans to benefit from lower prices. It was never about affordability to democrats, only about gaining power so they can crank up their lawfare machine once again.
I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.

Notice the lack of reporting by the US media @jaketapper and their silence over how the Democratic Party cheered when Lula was declared the winner, but not one democrat politician has publicly criticized this blatant lawfare attack on Brazil’s political opposition? Do you suppose that the US media is covertly supporting the Democrats and are secretly relishing the anticipated use of their lawfare should they regain control of Congress? We live in troubling times, Jake, but thank goodness we have Elon Musk who provided us with a platform for free speech and communication so that we can bypass the legacy media who are increasingly becoming nothing more than Democratic Party cheerleaders.
Lula da Silva’s party has posted a message stating that more arrests of opposition figures are coming in the next few hours. In this instance, it concerns Senator Deltan Dallagnol. The situation unfolding in Brazil is extremely serious; it is likely that all opposition figures will be imprisoned.

To say that Alexandre de Moraes is an authoritarian tyrant who has repeatedly abused his power to censor, arrrest and otherwise persecute both his critics and Bolsonaro supporters -- or to say that Moraes himself is more implicated in the Banco Master scandal than anyone and thus should not be judging anyone, particularly given that he deleted his own messages when Vorcaro was asking him when he should flee Brazil to escape arrest and justice -- is not to say that Flavio Bolsonaro is innocent. These are completely separate and unrelated points. And this is not a complicated point. It's exactly the same as the point I made about Lava Jato: the fact that there were serious irregularities in Lula's prosecution (in my view) did not mean and does mean that Lula was innocent of the numerous corruption charges he faced. The key point in all of this: there is no legitimate Brazilian democracy or credible Brazilian justice while Moraes remains at the center of the most consequential decisions. Until Moraes himself is aggressively investigated for the R$ 200 million his family got from Vorcaro and the messages he deleted, anything involving Moraes -- including his seizure of Flavio Bolsonaro's passport and his order not to leave the country -- is a complete farce and travesty.
Replying to @ggreenwald
Glenn, as someone who respects you and once admired you a great deal, I think you're right about many things. But I genuinely believe you should take a deeper look at the weight, or perhaps the lack of weight, you give to the far right Bolsonaros, its involvement in criminal schemes, and the attempts to stage a coup and drag Brazil back into a dictatorship. Don't throw your reputation in the thrash and don't help those who want to bring Brazil back to its darkest times. All the best.

LULA NÃO ESTÁ CONSEGUINDO DORMIR TRANQUILO (Artigo especial de quarta-feira, 28 de outubro de 2026) Há alguma coisa estranha acontecendo depois das eleições brasileiras, e não estou falando apenas do resultado. Lula, o PT e todo o sistema político que trabalhou ao lado deles supostamente venceram a disputa mais importante dos últimos anos. Então me explica uma coisa: ONDE ESTÁ A COMEMORAÇÃO? Olhe para o ambiente que se formou depois da divulgação do resultado. Não existe aquela euforia natural de quem acabou de derrotar seu maior adversário político e conquistou mais quatro anos de poder. O semblante de Lula, as reações de seus aliados e até o comportamento de parte dos seus eleitores transmitem muito mais preocupação do que alívio. Evidentemente, ninguém descobre o que uma pessoa está pensando apenas olhando para seu rosto, mas um jornalista também não pode ignorar uma contradição quando ela começa a encontrar outros fatos igualmente estranhos. E foi exatamente isso que aconteceu. Enquanto Lula e seus aliados administravam as consequências da eleição, Flávio Bolsonaro e sua família deixaram o Brasil numa operação que colocou os Estados Unidos no centro dessa história. A importância desse episódio não está apenas na saída física de Flávio do país, mas no que ela revela: a disputa deixou de acontecer exclusivamente dentro das instituições brasileiras e passou a envolver diretamente um governo estrangeiro com poder econômico, diplomático e estratégico infinitamente superior ao de qualquer personagem interno. É aqui que entra Donald Trump (@donaldtrumpjr) Durante anos, Lula, Alexandre de Moraes e outros ministros do STF enfrentaram o bolsonarismo dentro de um terreno que eles conheciam e controlavam: Justiça, Polícia Federal, TSE, inquéritos e decisões tomadas dentro da jurisdição brasileira. Mas o que acontece quando um dos principais personagens desse conflito passa a contar com apoio político do presidente dos Estados Unidos? As autoridades brasileiras podem controlar aquilo que acontece dentro do Brasil. Não controlam Trump, o Departamento de Estado, o Tesouro americano nem as decisões que Washington pode tomar. E Trump já começou a aumentar a tensão ao questionar publicamente a eleição brasileira, levantando suspeitas sobre o resultado sem apresentar até agora provas públicas que sustentem essas acusações. Só que existe um elemento ainda mais preocupante. Segundo reportagem citada na CNN, Trump tem em suas mãos um dossiê com informações sobre todo o processo eleitoral brasileiro, inclusive envolvendo suspeitas relacionadas a ministros do STF. Se essa informação estiver correta, existe uma diferença gigantesca entre um presidente americano simplesmente declarar que desconfia de uma eleição e o governo dos Estados Unidos possuir material reunido sobre aquilo que aconteceu, quem tomou determinadas decisões e se houve alguma irregularidade capaz de comprometer o processo. Agora volte ao início. Lula vence, mas não parece comemorar. Flávio deixa rapidamente o Brasil com participação americana. Trump começa a questionar publicamente a eleição. E surge a informação de que Washington teria em mãos um dossiê sobre o processo eleitoral e sobre personagens diretamente envolvidos nele. O QUE LULA SABE QUE A MAIORIA DOS SEUS ELEITORES AINDA NÃO SABE? Porque talvez o problema para Lula e seus aliados não esteja simplesmente no resultado das urnas. Talvez esteja naquilo que pode acontecer quando Donald Trump decidir revelar o que possui — e transformar uma disputa política brasileira numa crise internacional que Brasília já não consegue controlar. Se for esse o caso, o resultado anunciado pelo TSE pode ter encerrado apenas uma parte da eleição. A OUTRA PODE ESTAR COMEÇANDO AGORA — E MUITO LONGE DE BRASÍLIA.

Party of Democracy trying to rig the election in Alaska - incredible reporting today...
BREAKING: NYT reports that operatives with Democratic Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign were behind the effort to find & recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him. Specifically, NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible. The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.” Per NYT: “The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.” nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…

The New York Times is not publishing this out of some sudden commitment to journalistic integrity. What happened here is that they found out the story about Democratic corruption was going to come out another way, so they decided to get ahead of it and control the narrative.

The autopen appointed 235 lifetime federal judges. That is more than any president in American history except Carter, but that hardly counts, since Carter was handed 152 newly created judgeships to fill. So basically, the autopen stacked the federal bench with a litany of lawfare operatives, like this “Judge” AliKhan here. They are all part of the same machine and never once will they waver or go off script until one party rule has been achieved. We should start thinking of them this way and, more importantly, talking about them this way. The sooner it registers with ordinary people that these are lawfare operatives rather than judges, the better.
🚨NEW RULING🚨 A federal judge in D.C. has ordered the Trump administration to stop using taxpayer money for a set of pro-Trump TV ads. This order blocks the administration from developing, airing, or distributing the ads with taxpayer money. The judge claims officials “likely used public dollars to unlawfully finance a national campaign in the final weeks before the November 2026 elections” and ordered a compliance report.

Rant: Got last minute travel today, so won't be doing a Democracy Files drop today. But saw that the person at the center of the files posted about "unimaginable horrors." Let me tell you why I got interested in "democracy" in the first place. I've told this story many times, but here again: I was DOGE adjacent from the very beginning. I was recruited by several DOGE teams in January 2025, because I was excited about the opportunity to finally cut spending and taming the national debt. Bu then - Tesla Takedown protests happened. People got so worked up that they were firebombing innocent Tesla owners. A viral website with a Molotov cocktail cursor prominently featured my husband's address. I was doxxed in the middle of that, and forced to flee the state and homeschool my children. That's when I started researching and writing UNELECTED. I quickly found the groups organizing and funding the civil unrest were all about "democracy." It made no sense to me. DOGE wasn't overturning elections. They were cutting obviously silly awards - given our national deficit, who would object to that? Silly me! Turns out "democracy" means diffused rule by unelected people, and all that USAID money going to marginalized groups to build a "civil society" is the foundation of that. So the immune system of "civil unrest" can be activated anytime, and terrorize anyone who dares to step out of line. Such as DOGE employees. Such as me and my family. That research trail led me all the way to DemAID (now DRG), a group of ex-USAID officers. Led by you and Ro Tucci. @iamlisalogan and @SKDoubleDub33 found DemAID on video taking credit for these protests. But this isn't about me. This is about the United States. And about the dozens of countries wrecked by color revolutions. You aren't solving polarization. You are the source of polarization, because in the process of building "civil society," you are displacing people's inborn allegiances and training them up to attack the very foundations a nation are founded upon. Nor is this about revenge or anger. I'm calling on everyone to pray that no more damage is done, and that we can find a path forward that preserves our Constitutional Republic.

Nikolas Ferreira, the 30 year old federal deputy from Minas Gerais who just became the most voted congressman in Brazilian history with over 3.1 million votes, is about to have his passport revoked and be banned from leaving the country. Of course, he’s a right-winger and the Communists now wish to destroy him. He was elected city councilor in 2020 with the second highest total ever in the capital, then federal deputy in 2022 with 1.49 million votes. Reelected in 2026 by doubling that number. Social media giant. Conservative Christian. Family, free markets, liberty. One of the biggest voices on the Brazilian right. They’re citing a 2024 “injúria” case over comments about Lula and calling bolsonarismo a “gangue” as the reason for the seizure. This is pure lawfare. Steal an election, then go after the most popular young right wing deputy in the country before he can even speak. This election “victory” has the Communists more emboldened than ever. Brazil is the new Venezuela. Moraes and Lula are the new Maduro. Maybe even worse.
