It's wide open. The entire world is commenting that Trump is trying to interfere in Brazil's elections. This interference with the puppet Bolsonaro. Electing Flavio Bolsonaro is transforming Brazil into the doormat of the USA and bringing misery, destruction, and suffering to Brazilians. (translated)
Press Release: Defense statement from Antonio Tabet regarding the victory at the TSE The defense of actor, presenter, screenwriter, and comedian Antonio Tabet publicly celebrates the recent and paradigm-shifting victory in the Superior Electoral Court in favor of freedom of criticism, opinion, expression of thought, and religion. In judging the case, the TSE Collegiate overturned the concerning initial decisions made by Minister André Mendonça, which risked direct censorship of absolutely true content, humorous expressions, and, even more alarmingly, prayers and requests for blessings to Our Lady Aparecida. In line with the arguments upheld by this Defense from the beginning, the Electoral Court concluded the obvious; that is, it is not lawful for the State to censor factually true content; it is not lawful to censor prayers and acts of faith; it is not lawful to censor opinions or humor. The corrective action of Justice, expressed in the order to exclude content, should be strictly and exclusively limited to publications that are objectively false. We take this opportunity, in respect for the loyalty of public debate and to leave no doubts, to reiterate that: the legislative initiative to remove Our Lady Aparecida from the status of Patroness of Brazil is not authored or proposed by candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. On the other hand, it is a fact that allies (political and religious) of Flávio Bolsonaro publicly defend and promote such an initiative and, in public and notorious cases, promote attacks against institutions linked to the Catholic Church. The free scrutiny of the network of relationships of public figures is a pillar of democracy and cannot be silenced. Furthermore, let this October, the month of Our Lady Aparecida, be the time for the Brazilian people to make their own judgment. Lucas Mourão André Matheus Rodrigo Rollemberg (translated)
Today we resolved a situation that had been dragging on for decades at the Rei Pelé training center of Santos. The club will continue to use the property, which still belongs to the Union, now in a regularized manner: it will pay for the use of the space and settle about R$ 23 million related to the previous period. Anyone who loves football knows the importance of this training center for the development of athletes and for the history of Brazilian sports — even a Corinthians fan like me. Public heritage is preserved, Santos gains security to continue developing talents, and the rivalry remains where it should be: on the field. (translated)
🚨 URGENT 🚨 Daniela Lima has brought a bombshell on Pulso Político. Everyone needs to share it. The tone around Flávio is no longer campaigning. It is a threat. Flávio claims to be moderate. Yesterday he presented Pablo Marçal as an active part of the campaign. In the live stream with Daniela Marques, his economic guru, the title was holy war. Catholics and evangelicals against each other. Macumba and satanism in the middle of the sentence. Fear as a method. If you thought it was heavy, it gets worse. Allan dos Santos, a fugitive in the United States, convicted of threats, defamation, and slander, attacked a bishop of the Catholic Church. The bishop had asked for mercy from Our Lady Aparecida in the face of gunfire at the CNBB. The response was insults. The Church is already monitoring the attacks on bishops on social media. This is the group. This is the tone. With Flávio's victory, the message goes from live stream to government. Persecution of the Christian faith is not a theory. It’s already in the video. No coup ever again is trending. Lula 1 and 2 is trending too. Three more to go. The weakness is thinking this stops at the election. Don't watch the debate and pretend you didn't see it. Globo goes unnoticed. Flow too. Cármen Lúcia and Merval occupy the scroll. The play is different. Share it. The Brazilian people need to hear this before voting. (translated)
My brother, I will make a confession to everyone to register this gift I receive. I remember stamping my foot at home and that the "fight" for you to get an education before entering politics was respected. It was already enough that I gave up following my academic education in a linear way. Through ups and downs, I graduated in Aeronautical Sciences, while you exemplary completed your law degree. During this period, you went to fry hamburgers in the United States, worked as a coordinator of a travel agency focused on young people going abroad, did an exchange at the Law School of the University of Coimbra, became a lawyer, a police federal clerk, and the most voted federal deputy in Brazil's history. Later, you set aside any vanity and worked to elect more parliamentarians at the expense of your own votes, even being betrayed by many of those you gave your sweat and lived through so many other experiences that helped shape who you are. Look where you've arrived and all that you have done for our country. Practically alone, with the few contacts you built throughout your education and journey, you reached places that many never imagined and caused profound changes in the Brazilian political and institutional landscape. You are the giant they want to bury alive, but they will never succeed. Back home, even exiled and far from all of us, you are and will always be a reference. The truth needs to be reaffirmed. As always, I am here for whatever you need. Count on me, Warrior. Thank you very much for everything. I miss you all! With @BolsonaroSP (translated)
The NYT points to interference from the Trump government to favor Flavio. This should be enough for Brazilians to be worried. The tone of the report is one of fear of looting and plundering the country's wealth. This would happen for decades. I have an opinion at the end. What the NYT claims, in summary: The newspaper states that it has not openly endorsed any candidate, but that the American government is trying to favor Flávio Bolsonaro against Lula. The text cites, as examples of these measures, tariffs, sanctions against Brazilian authorities, the designation of PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorist organizations, and questions about electronic voting machines. Brazilian authorities, diplomats, and electoral technicians interviewed by the newspaper (many anonymously) say that Brazil is setting up a “barrier” to reduce the risk of interference: monitoring foreign lobbying and disinformation, responding to fraud allegations, and discussions with countries in Europe, Asia, and others about a joint reaction after the election. Lula, at the UN and in campaign propaganda, accused the Trump government of interfering to “colonize” Brazil and take its natural resources. The newspaper emphasizes that it is unclear whether this push helps Flávio. In a close contest, a nudge from Trump could decide, but it could also provoke an anti-Trump reaction and increase the vote for Lula, as the NYT says happened in Canada and Australia. The article has a tone of fear, in Brazil, that something similar to what Trump did in other countries could be repeated, coupled with American measures that the newspaper interprets as favorable to the right. All in all: within what the NYT itself can do, the pressure from the Trump government on the press is systematic, it's a big alert. However, I think Brazilians still do not grasp the magnitude of what lies ahead. There will be decades of political, economic, democratic, and social backsliding. Many do not want to hear it. They are mistakenly convinced otherwise. The plundering will run rampant and there will be no one to investigate. (translated)
This is very serious: US$ 1 MILLION AGAINST THE STF Revealed campaign from the Trump government. The government of Donald Trump allocated US$ 1 million to finance a campaign against the STF in Brazil. The revelations were published this Thursday by the British newspaper The Guardian, which points out how resources originally intended by the US for the global human rights agenda were redirected to the interests of the American far right. According to the report, a US$ 1 million grant titled "Combating Lawfare and Censorship in Brazil" would finance civil society groups that oppose what is described as excessive judicial action and censorship by the Supreme Court of Brazil. "The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Brazilian minister Alexandre de Moraes last year, following pressure from Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the former president," the article recalled. According to the newspaper, a Democratic congressional aide stated that a senator from the Foreign Relations Committee, Jeanne Shaheen, had maintained the blockage of ten disbursements totaling US$ 22 million, intended for projects in Brazil, South Africa, and Nigeria, as well as for promoting a right-wing ideology in the UK and Europe. This week, Shaheen sent a letter to the Trump administration to denounce interference in the Brazilian election and demand the White House recognize the election results in the country. "Throughout President Trump's second term, we observed US authorities engaged in a campaign of interference and destabilization in Brazil," the senator said in the document. "This effort intensified dramatically during the summer of 2025, when the Administration imposed targeted tariffs and sanctions in an attempt to influence the verdict of the Brazilian Supreme Court in the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, accused of attempting to foment a military coup to remain in power," she stated. According to the aide consulted by the newspaper, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally signed a memorandum to ignore the senator's blockages and authorize the allocation of funds. Destabilizing the STF For observers and diplomats, destabilizing the STF has become a priority for the Brazilian and foreign far right. The movement sees the institution as a brake on implementing an ultra-conservative project in the country and regaining freedom of action on all fronts. The money comes from the Fund for Human Rights and Democracy, created to finance Trump's conservative agenda around the world and, according to its critics, to attack any form of opposition. "The largest disbursement, totaling US$ 40 million, was allocated to a consortium led by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) — a non-profit anti-communist organization that, in the past, had received much lower amounts in grants," the report indicated. A background check document from the Department of State, consulted by The Guardian, records previous contracts between the foundation and the agency totaling US$ 96,997 in the last five years — all in the fiscal year 2022 — and notes that the organization underwent a check in 2019 related to tickets for the foundation's gala event. The document also identifies Andrew Bremberg — former domestic policy advisor to the White House during the Trump administration and former US ambassador to the UN office in Europe — as a "senior leader" of the foundation.

“Itamaraty is 'at the service' of Lulinha's partner. O Globo and CNN reveal that the Brazilian Embassy in Madrid helped lobbyist Roberta Luchsinger, a friend of Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, Lulinha, in the search for schools in the Spanish capital. The Itamaraty confirmed the support: the then ambassador Orlando Leite Ribeiro met Luchsinger and Renata Abreu Moreira, Lulinha’s wife, at a commercial promotion event in September 2024, and the educational sector of the embassy provided school contacts. In January 2025 the diplomat stated he was 'entirely at their service.' Messages mention offers of people and vehicles; the ministry denies the use of official cars and classifies the assistance as routine for Brazilian citizens. Laughter. Luchsinger did not move. Lulinha moved last year and remains in Spain, according to the defense. The same column by Malu Gaspar had already noted that the lobbyist organized, according to the Federal Police, a trip worth R$ 1.8 million for Lulinha and the family to see the Northern Lights. Calling this 'routine assistance' is mockery. The embassy is not a concierge for a president's child or a lobbyist circulating around the family. Taxpayers fund representation abroad to defend national interests, not to create a school list in Madrid while the firstborn settles in Europe. It’s the same old pattern: the public at the service of the family's private interests, with an official note saying that there was no irregularity. The abuse of purpose is exposed. The little bearded ones at Itamaraty need to go!” (translated)
Afternoon of a lot of conversation at the Method, with @pablomarcal1 and with people who open the store early, pay salaries at the end of the month, and don’t give up when things get tough. We talked about work, opportunity, and a Brazil where those who want to grow don’t have to ask for permission to do so. There are only a few days left. The way is with @flaviobolsonaro! Brazilians deserve to dream again. 2️⃣2️⃣ (translated)
Why did the "routine procedure" not assist Flávio when he needed a place to give interviews in the USA⁉️ Have you ever needed the Itamaraty to find schools in Europe and were assisted⁉️ The Itamaraty admitted that the Brazilian Embassy in Madrid assisted Roberta Luchsinger, a friend of LuIinha, in the search for schools and information for a possible move to Spain. The government claims that the support provided was a ROUTINE PROCEDURE for assistance to Brazilians abroad and denies any irregularities or misuse of diplomatic structures. (translated)
For a long time, I carried a silent desire, almost a mission hidden in the depths of my soul: to turn the story of Jair Messias Bolsonaro into a movie. Even before there was a script, camera, or crew, I was certain that the world needed to see who he really is — not the character defamed by the media, but the man who changed the axis of Brazilian politics. This project was not born out of an opportunity. It was born out of a conviction. From the certainty that this trajectory could not be restricted to distorted headlines, much less to history books that turn heroes into villains. This story deserved to be told with truth, courage, and respect for the impact it had — and still has — on the lives of millions of Brazilians. I dreamed of this because I understood that Bolsonaro is not just a chapter in our politics. He is a turning point. And the world needs to know this story. I thank the Bolsonaro family for trusting in this dream and for allowing me to tell a story that will reach future generations. (translated)
