Tino explained that writing his book, "100 Tips for Successful Investing," had been one of the most difficult trials of his life. For nearly ten months, his perfectionism had, according to him, caused him doubts, frustrations, short nights, and sometimes tears. He added that the project had also weighed on his health and his private and family life. His partner, with whom he had shared his life for nearly fifteen years, had to accept his absences and the fact that writing sometimes took precedence over their life together, he wrote. Since finishing the book, he had been trying to reconnect with her over the moments that were set aside, while acknowledging that lost time could not really be made up. As the book was meeting with greater success than he had expected, Tino wanted to pay tribute to his partner, believing that without her support, the work probably would not have come to fruition. #Écriture #Amour #Sacrifice (translated)

Acosti argued that Călin Georgescu's opponents were afraid of him because, in his opinion, they could not conceive that someone could act out of conviction and patriotism, without seeking a position or reward. He stated that Georgescu selflessly loved his country and possessed qualities such as stature, eloquence, and soul. The author accused Georgescu's critics of confusing position and wealth with value and respect, mentioning cars like the BMW X6 and Range Rover. He argued that dignity and character could not be obtained through positions, company cars, or image campaigns, and that power belonged to the Romanian people. Acosti further stated that the opponents' fear stemmed from the comparison with Georgescu, whom he described as a respected man without invoking his position. In his view, his presence made the imperfections of the critics more visible, and they were afraid of what they lacked. #România #Patriotism #Dreptate (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that Edson Fachin was advocating for a reform of the Judiciary without altering guarantees, but he questioned which guarantees he was referring to. According to Ruschel, in recent years, the Federal Supreme Court had restricted constitutional rights such as free expression, association, and manifestation, in addition to the right to defense, the natural judge, and due process. He said this had occurred especially with people who did not align with what he called the court's leftism. Ruschel also criticized the defense that the reform should be made "with the Judiciary." According to him, it is up to the Legislative to draft laws, while the Judiciary should apply them and assess their compatibility with the Constitution. He added that courts can propose laws regarding their own organization, but the decision falls to Congress, and they cannot present constitutional amendments. For Ruschel, the expression used by Fachin would be a euphemism for the usurpation of Congress's powers. #Judiciário #Reforma #GarantiasCivis (translated)

Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and global markets, an additional 500,000 tons in November, and 1,000,000 tons immediately after.

Donald Trump announced on Friday, October 9, that he had negotiated with Vladimir Putin for a massive delivery of Russian diesel to the American and global markets, in the hope of lowering pump prices just weeks before the midterm elections in the United States. #DieselRusse #TrumpPoutine #GuerreEnUkraine (translated)

Felipe Moura Brasil shared the transcription of a reporter from Veja who defended a report amid the reactions to the publication of a recording. The journalist stated that, in addition to the audio, the article was based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone before he formalized a plea deal proposal. According to the reporter, Vorcaro had already presented a third proposal to the PGR, but the agency did not want to listen to him. In the transcription, the reporter claimed that messages from 2024 and 2025 indicated that Vorcaro had intermediaries at the Palácio do Planalto who were working with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Petrobras, and Correios. He asserted that the objective was to raise 10 billion reais from these funds, with 1 billion reais earmarked for bribes to the PT, as part of an agreement to save Banco Master. He also said that an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha sought fund executives and that meetings had been organized to facilitate the bank's operations. The reporter further stated that, in May 2024, Banco Master entered the so-called "exhaustive list," which, according to him, allowed the funds to invest in the institution. At the same time, he said, the bank was negotiating credit letters worth 500 million reais with Caixa Econômica. According to the journalist, the operation did not progress after the newspaper O Globo reported, in July 2024, that two managers from Caixa had been removed for issuing a negative opinion. He added that Vorcaro had reported, in a plea deal proposal to which the report had access, that Padilha and other PT members backed down after the case was disclosed. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)
