Flavio Bolsonaro, I hear you have never worked a day in your life. Now that Brazil is working to freeze your assets, it appears you now seek to be a leech on the American taxpayer’s dime. That won’t fly here. You see, there’s an election here in a few days, and just like you, the right-wing traitors will see a historic defeat. I feel very confident that Democrats will use their new mandate to defund your new luxury life here, while you await deportation, so we can spend it on more important things, like *our* health care. *Our* children deserve to go to a doctor more than your jet-setting. Then, for the first time ever, you will have to get a job, but if we Americans have it our way, no one will hire you. Your dad’s Trump and Rubio’s grift of the American taxpayer is coming to an end real soon! Your deportation will follow. Enjoy!

Bolsonaro had his passport seized. He is a criminal illegal alien. The American taxpayer will now foot the bill to protect his crime family and their jet-setting across our country. All at a time where Trump says we have NO MONEY for *OUR** healthcare. Pathetic. Democrats must defund anything associated with this after the midterms and put the Bolsonaros NUMBER ONE ON THE DEPORTATION LIST when Trump is gone!!!!!!!
WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department says it will give US visas to defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family.

Every cent Trump uses to harbor this fugitive Bolsonaro must be investigated by Democrats. Any money to protect and transport him must be shut down when we take back Congress. I don’t want our tax dollars subsidizing this THUG!!!!!

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit. apnews.com/article/alaska-se…

A Hispanic Hurricane is coming
As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Arrest them all.
BREAKING: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini's daughter hired Habba -- then a senior adviser to Pam Bondi at the Justice Department -- at $10 million a year for four years plus bonuses. He got his pardon not long after.

Sen Gallego called this a year ago and we are working on all these races and we are going to win them all!
The new Texas congressional districts 24, 28, and 35 are in play for Democrats if these numbers stick.

.@elonmusk make sure @Starlink keeps all records and communications regarding your alliance with Russia. Subpoenas are coming. I am sure the European market will want to know what happened.
Ukraine's Starshield terminals still don't work properly, President Zelensky confirms, disabling Ukrainian interceptors used to shoot down Russian jet-powered drones that have been hitting civilian targets in recent weeks. kyivindependent.com/planned-…

OSSOFF: Maybe you saw Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday—a crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five-month high.

El-Sayed: J.D. Vance was just in Michigan. He had a cute little rally in Monroe. He invited the five people who like him. But imagine being the candidate for Michigan and having to invite somebody from Ohio to campaign for you. Now, at his little rally, he wanted to raise questions about my commitment to America. And let me tell you, nobody understands how deep and profound the gift of this country is like a kid who was born here but for the accident of history that allowed that to happen. I got a front-row seat to what my life might have been had I not been born in America. So don’t lecture me about America. I know America. And I know that in America… In America, we’re big enough to guarantee health care to our people rather than taking it away. In America, we’re big enough to invest in unions rather than busting them. In America, we don’t tell people what to believe. We value their beliefs. In America, we don’t question the outcomes of democratic elections.

X allowed Nick Sortor’s demonstrably false allegations against James Talarico to reach millions, yet suspended an account exposing the deception. That’s not just a censorship concern. It raises serious questions about selective enforcement. State attorneys general should investigate.

Democrats have been “very intentional in winning back voters who are more monolithic than I’ve ever seen,” said Rocha, who is advising James Talarico in Texas’ Senate race and 20 congressional races. "They’re all monolithically pissed at their cost of living, prices of things and the lack of their paychecks going up." politico.com/newsletters/wee…

The “mass shooting” in Erie, PA was in fact a family annihilation event. A 45-year-old man with a registered firearm killed a 22-mo-old girl, a 5-year-old boy, 2 women, & 5 men. He killed himself. We still don’t know his name or the names of his victims. No one will ask ‘where was he radicalized?’ Media will move on. A reminder that every 5 days a man annihilates his family in the USA & men kill 2400+ women annually in gender based violence. Beyond horrific. My God.

Charlie Cook, founder of the Cook Political Report: “The big story is the cratering of GOP prospects over the last six weeks. A glimpse of that is obvious in consumer confidence among Republicans plummeting during September, a harbinger of low GOP voter turnout next month.” “It’s not a question of whether the GOP will have a bad night, but how bad will it be, despite structural advantages that should have precluded them from having a devastating midterm.” Link to article: charliecookpolitics.com/p/st…

Politico: Senior Republicans believe their internal polling, if it holds, shows likely losses across all three at-risk GOP seats in Iowa: Reps. Zach Nunn and Mariannette Miller-Meeks and the race to replace now-Senate candidate Ashley Hinson, according to four people with direct knowledge of the private information.

Troy Jackson: "As late as 2024, the FBI was circling around Sen. Collins ... then when President Trump came back, his administration dismantled the investigation. Now she votes with Donald Trump 96% of the time. Look, I don't owe Donald Trump nothing."
