🚨 EXCLUSIVE: In a meeting last night, groups from the São Paulo Situation defined that Harry Massis WILL NOT be the candidate for the presidency at the end of the year. In recent weeks, Massis informed his political allies of his desire to run, but yesterday he was informed that he would not have the support of the other groups. Vinicius Medeiros, from Legião Tricolor, is the favorite. José Edgard Galvão and Mário Braga are also in the running. The meeting also served to define the name of the slate, which will be "São Paulo ahead," with a sky blue visual identity. (translated)

That the US government and many other governments are trying to influence the election in Brazil is obvious. The US and others do this in most elections around the world. I have always been and continue to be against this, as I said two weeks ago in São Paulo with former president Rafael Correa from Ecuador. 👇 That said, it's a bit bizarre to see the Brazilian left screaming about how much they hate American influence in Brazilian politics, considering that the current president of one of their favorite sites -- @TheInterceptBr -- is American, was founded by 2 Americans (me and Jeremy Scahill), was funded for years entirely with American money and, after I left, continues to receive foreign funding (including from Open Society, the main funding mechanism of American/Hungarian billionaire George Soros). Maybe a little consistency would help, right? (translated)

This week we have approved important measures to protect people, to guarantee the right to housing. I ask Congress to rise to the occasion and sense of state to validate the decrees in tomorrow's session. I ask that humanity prevail over ideology. (translated)

🚨 BACKSTAGE: Jorge Jesus reached a verbal agreement with the Brazilian National Team before Ancelotti's hiring. The talks lasted more than 4 months, between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. After the early elimination in the Copa América and the inconsistent performance of the team, Ednaldo Rodrigues, former president of CBF, matured the idea of dismissing Dorival Júnior. In December, two CBF officials traveled to Portugal and reached a VERBAL AGREEMENT with Jorge Jesus. The coach only requested to participate in the Asian Champions League with Al-Hilal. After Argentina's 4-1 thrashing of Brazil, CBF made new contact with JJ and REINFORCED the verbal agreement. It was decided that Jorge Jesus would replace Dorival. • POLITICAL PRESSURE CHANGES PLANS Ednaldo began to face pressure in a process that threatened his permanence at CBF. Desperate, the executive sought a significant popular appeal to gain political strength and expedited the coach's change. As Jorge Jesus could not leave Al-Hilal immediately, Ednaldo resumed discussions with Ancelotti. In poor form at Real Madrid, the Italian agreed to rebuild the frustrated agreement from 2023 but requested a few weeks before the announcement to avoid repercussions before the Copa del Rey final. • HASTY ANNOUNCEMENT CBF intended to announce Ancelotti after the end of LaLiga on May 24. However, pressured by the possibility of his process being judged at any moment, Ednaldo rushed into CBF’s headquarters and ORDERED Ancelotti's announcement on May 12, surprising even close officials and people from Real Madrid. Three days later, Ednaldo was removed from the presidency and did not return to the position nor personally received Ancelotti. Jorge Jesus, who never hid his frustration at being 'abandoned' by Ednaldo and wasting the dream of leading Brazil, took over Portugal after the 2026 World Cup. 🗞️ @ESPNBrasil | @pedroivoalmeida 📸 Portugal National Team | Rafael Ribeiro/CBF (translated)

Well, I always say that no one has internal tracking, right? Research rarely gets out, especially internal party research. But I was given an internal poll showing Lula already with 48% of the vote intentions. So, yes, there is a chance we can win in the first round. Let’s push hard! In fact, I made a promise to myself because I need this: if Lula wins in the first round, next week I will take a sabbatical week. On Tuesday I will go to the beach and stay there, if God willing, without picking up my phone because we would have saved the democracy of the country once again. That's it, folks. Let's go for Lula in the first round. We have good internal polls and, for my peace, tranquility, and rest, at least for a few days, let's resolve this in the first round! 🥹 (translated)

Then - Shelly traveled with her family and her ex two weeks ago. But she did not communicate it to the company or to Pundao. - The fans find out because they see her with a guy, they notice that she and the guy are posting the same or similar photos. - Pundao has been saying live for days that Shelly disappears for hours and does not respond to messages. - The company issues a statement, suspends Shelly, discontinues all work activities of Shelly with Pundao (basically the termination of the ship). - The planned series will depend on what the company and the two involved decide. - Shelly releases a statement on her part, clarifying that she is indeed dating Pundao (it was already known since they went to Brazil), stating that Pundao is hurt and disappointed with her, and also says that she did not communicate it to either her partner or the company. (The interpretations that others may have remain, if the issue led to her suspension, it is because there is a labor clause in her contract and probably the screw-up goes beyond having traveled with her ex, her Pundao is hurt, meaning something else also happened. If it’s infidelity it could be, she traveled with her ex without telling her girlfriend, period.) (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.

Wrestling is about friends. Those you make while you fight, those you make while watching the shows, those you make in a way you're not even aware of, simply, while watching Wrestling. Those who are there 52 weeks a year, 365 days. Those you see fight when they are no longer around. Those who leave when you least expect it. And that is more real than many things we are sold that are indeed real. AEW proved it yesterday with a beautiful tribute show, worthy of someone who was one of their own. PAC, Neville, Ben, however you want to call him. He will remain so forever. Congratulations and thank you for yesterday's Dynamite. (translated)

Franco Colapinto spoke again about hate on social media: “I think we talk about the same thing every weekend and abuse is something that has been present for a long time. Of course, there are moments when it is worse than others. As drivers, we have the responsibility to try to improve it.” “We continue to work together to try to improve the situation. It’s complicated; I think it comes from each group of fans or each driver... Some are worse than others because they are more passionate. It’s something difficult to control from our side.” (translated)
