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.

The Marinho family never accepted Lula. Not because they lost something, but because they never controlled everything. The Marinho family has never lost money, concessions, prestige, or influence during Lula's governments. On the contrary: they grew, profited, and continued as one of the largest media groups in the country. Yet, they act as if they owned Brazil. The problem has never been economic. It's class-related. It's the historical discomfort of seeing a worker govern the country, expand rights, and reduce inequalities without asking for the elite's blessing. Journalists who release shady "stories" and PowerPoints have been fulfilling this role for decades: vocalizing the interests of those in power, whether in the Globo Group or in Faria Lima, which, at heart, operate under the same logic. This family has spent the century sabotaging popular projects, helped sustain dictatorships, criminalized social leaders, and whenever Brazil tried to advance, they worked to pull the country backward. A coup is Globo's constant attempt to manipulate public opinion. And still, it is Lula who returns to rebuild. Always! There’s a lot of karma for these people. BRAZIL WITH LULA ON THE FLOW DO NOT WATCH THE DEBATE NO MORE COUP TURN OFF GLOBO (translated)

You know what else needs to be done to defend ourselves against Russia, which is much less invasive than conscription, and Sławek avoids it like fire? Tax the rich and use their money to fund the army. And comparisons to Ukraine are misplaced when we are in NATO. (translated)

To ride a horse, you really don't need to have a horse right away. Especially not three. A horse is not a bicycle that you put away in the garage after riding. Feed, hay, bedding, a farrier, vaccinations, deworming, equipment, transportation, daily care. And a veterinarian. As long as the horse is healthy, you pay for prevention. When colic, injury, diagnostics, or treatment starts, the bill can rise very quickly into thousands. According to a study by SGH, the average cost of keeping one horse is over 4,000 zlotys a month. With three, it comes to over 150,000 zlotys a year. This is an average, not the bill from the Office. But it shows the scale. And that's why I would really like to know what the point was for a state entity to have three horses designated for riding for the president and his family. Because you can organize horseback riding yourself. You can rent a horse. You can buy riding lessons. You don't have to immediately fund three on the state's expense. (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)

Ultimately, what is at stake in this arrangement between Dino and Gilmar Mendes seems to go beyond a legal dispute. The target would be André Mendonça, precisely because he is a minister identified with the evangelical faith. The so-called "holy war," in this context, takes on the contours of an offensive against a minister whose religious trajectory has always been public. (translated)

Mafia in power Messages from the Federal Police show Daniel Vorcaro coordinating with Marcelo Cohen, owner of Qualitours, hired by the Lula government for a “solution” for COP30. Cohen: the government is desperate. Lula and Rui Costa are desperate. “We have the solution. You become the savior of the nation. As if Master had enabled COP.” Vorcaro: “Of course.” Result: R$ 350 million in ships rented via Embratur/Civil House. Cohen is a partner of Vorcaro in the luxury hotel Botanique. Qualitours was born with funds linked to Master. There was even R$ 6 million in cash between the bank and the businessman’s company. The government denies it. The company denies it. The TCU “approved.” Friends of the bank, million-dollar contract, messages of despair in the Planalto. It’s not management. It’s a gang. (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo sacrificed two golden generations of Portugal in the 2022 and 2026 World Cups for pure ego. He was humiliated in the Cup and tried to force his way into continuing to be called up, when it was clear that his time with the national team had long since passed. Result: he will leave Portugal through the back door. Lionel Messi won everything for Argentina, played in the 2026 World Cup even knowing that his father was on the verge of death, returned glory to the Argentine people, and will be honored in a farewell match for the national team with more than 90,000 fans in the stadium. Moral of the story: Respect cannot be bought, it must be earned. Cristiano Ronaldo will be an eternal crybaby and frustrated for not achieving what Lionel Messi achieved. (translated)

Gustavo Gayer, from PL, proudly states that he has given up millions from the electoral fund. But who is funding the Bolsonaro supporter’s run for the Senate? His biggest individual donor is a businessman accused by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Pará for fraud in bidding processes and bribery. Here's the thread to understand better 🧶👇 (translated)

What scares me the most about this analysis of the "intergalactics" is the world of lies and cynicism they live in. The growth of votes for Flávio Bolsonaro came from loyalty to his bolsonarista base and the agendas he has been building with entrepreneurs who advocate for a different policy of economic and industrial development for Brazil. This narrowing has brought together business sectors that were distant from bolsonarism and opened up space for a new development project and a vision for the country. Interestingly, what we see today in Brazil also appears in Europe: liberals creating a "sanitary barrier" to prevent the right from coming to power, while labeling Eduardo Bolsonaro and Kim Paim as "far-right" here. They say they are very radical. Soon, they will call us fascists. In a few months, we will once again see this discourse being used against Eduardo by Constantino and other intergalactic figures saying it is good to distance oneself from "extremisms." This is the same mechanism observed in Germany by Merz with the AfD, and in other European countries: establishing a moderate liberal political boundary and attributing the label of extremism to those on the other side of it. In the end, part of the liberal project seems to depend precisely on these barriers to contain the advance of right-wing conservatism. Of course, at heart, they are a system, a trust operation. It's unbelievable how brazen they are. (translated)

CHEGAMOS AOS 101,48%! Minha gente, é com muita alegria e até espanto que eu venho agradecer a vocês. Para ser bem sincero, eu não imaginava que chegaríamos aos 100% hoje. Acreditava que ainda precisaríamos de algumas sextas-feiras para alcançar esse objetivo. Mas me parece que vocês se animaram e disseram: “Não! Hoje é o último dia dos 40 dias, nós vamos chegar aos 100%!” E chegamos, minha gente! Aliás, chegamos aos 101,48%. Eu fiquei admirado! E o que significa essa conquista? Vocês compraram e pagaram a nossa primeira Casa do Rosário, da Obra de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, na região central de São Paulo, próxima aos aeroportos, o que vai ajudar muito a nossa missão. Nessa casa teremos as reuniões da Obra, vamos acolher bispos, sacerdotes, músicos e tantos outros convidados do Rosário. Teremos Adoração ao Santíssimo, Santa Missa e tantos projetos da Obra acontecendo ali. Tenho certeza de que muita coisa boa vai nascer nessa casa. Muito obrigado a cada um de vocês. Alguns puderam doar um pouquinho a cada dia, outros puderam ajudar um pouco mais, mas cada um fez a sua parte. E foi a união de todos que tornou esse sonho possível. Desejo, do fundo do meu coração, que um dia você também tenha a oportunidade de ser sorteado e estar conosco presencialmente na Casa do Rosário, rezando junto com a gente. Deus abençoe você, a sua generosidade e cada oferta realizada. Continuamos juntos! #Gratidão #Conquista #Comunidade
