R$ 666 thousand of Flávio Bolsonaro's amendment for basic health in Mesquita ended up in an institute that the tax authority classified as "non-existent in fact." It was money that was supposedly going for consultations and medicine in Baixada. Flávio had the nerve to say that he doesn't choose who receives his amendments. So who chose, pale face?

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)

Attention. We are preparing for revelations of another mega corruption case: the current mayor of María la Baja (Bolívar), Ramiro González Mancilla, detained since August 2026, announces that he will confess and cooperate with justice. Many are trembling... Says his lawyer @GustavoMorenoRi This is the case of the Sierra Nevada Mixed Fund, which could be one of the largest and most sophisticated embezzlements of public resources in the country, surpassing $3.2 billion in royalties. The criminal network, according to the Prosecutor's Office, managed to direct the execution of 1,147 contracts for nearly 480 projects in 19 departments of the country, in infrastructure, education, drinking water, basic sanitation, health, and rural housing. The Prosecutor's Office identified that the fund's executives charged fees ranging from 30 to 60 million pesos per month. With the royalty money, they bought high-end vehicles, apartments, and luxury homes in Valledupar, and paid for a 30-day trip to the 2026 World Cup. (translated)

Flávio Bolsonaro sent an amendment for a non-existent company. In 2024, Flávio Bolsonaro allocated R$ 3.1 million for primary health care in the municipality of Mesquita (RJ), governed by PL. Of these funds, R$ 666,000 were paid to the Institute of Medicine and Project (IMP) in August 2025. In June of this year, the Federal Revenue Service classified the IMP as "non-existent in fact." According to a document from the agency, there are "reasons that evidence that the company was established for the purpose of tax fraud, including for the benefit of third-party companies." The IMP is under scrutiny from TCE-RJ. Only Mesquita signed contracts of over R$ 580 million with the IMP between 2019 and the end of 2024. Despite the volume of resources, the IMP has not had a website since 2021, the emails provided in the contracts do not work, and the phone registered with the Federal Revenue does not answer. Furthermore, the president of the IMP was an elderly person, a beneficiary of a social program, and lived for free, as reported by G1 in 2023 (uol). (translated)

All surveys have weighting. Or rather, CNT stated in the latest one that it did not use weighting. But all of them do because this is basic in surveys. It's just that some institutes have been using it more. (translated)

In the Chamber, Minister @GuidoCrosetto stated that he would make known the list of authorized flights from the #USMilitaryBases in #Italy. We want that list, because cargo flights from #Aviano and #Sigonella have been leaving for #USAF and #US since before the attack on #Iran. (translated)

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica, which has gigantic dimensions of 1,400 kilometers in length and 400 kilometers in width, poses a potential threat to global coastlines as it is becoming increasingly susceptible to global warming, and melting ice could raise sea levels by up to four meters.

If you are ahead in the polls, a debate about the election can create noise in the internet age that is hard to undo. This is basic political knowledge. (translated)

Completely confused. Can we return to the basics with this now ideological and politicized subject? Boys cannot become girls and girls cannot become boys. Period. That we talk about accepting certain behavior is fine. But no biological nonsense in school. (translated)

The AfD wants to have elections declared invalid where candidates were excluded in advance based on a decision of the competition. The CDU had a vote annulled under Chancellor Merkel because they didn’t like the result. And now guess which party is accused of wanting to abolish democracy. 🤡 (translated)

So very, very rarely are there those rare moments that remind you that you still live in the Netherlands. The Netherlands! The beautiful country where I was born half a century ago. This professor reminds me of that country: level-headed, businesslike, without ideological capers and with a clear awareness of what institutions are and are not intended for. A university is NOT a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and should explicitly NOT conduct its own foreign policy. Moreover, those who glorify violence should not be able to hide behind academic freedom or political engagement. A university has a responsibility for the safety of ALL students and for the rule of law that applies in the Netherlands. Sometimes you might almost forget that these were once completely normal premises. Not every social conflict needs to be imported by our institutions, not every radical belief deserves institutional whitewashing, and tolerance does not mean that a university may look the other way when genocidal anti-Semitic violence is glorified. This is the foundation of the Netherlands I knew: freedom, but no boundlessness; tolerance, but no capitulation; universities that pursue education and science instead of geopolitical activism.

I wasted my time and watched the entire "reporting." It's basically this: - So and so committed a crime - Flávio Bolsonaro, who is a lawyer, represented so and so - DRAW YOUR CONCLUSIONS, HUH It's a ridiculous attack on lawyers in general. Lawyers do not confuse themselves, regardless of who they are, with their clients. (translated)
