I am a deputy and I have never been able to vote for or against a budget. Only 49.3. Only motions of censure to say no. That is what should shock everyone. (translated)

Minister Gilmar Mendes acted correctly by authorizing Renan Santos' participation in Globo's debate. The decision reaffirms that electoral debates must serve DEMOCRACY and the VOTER, and not the interests of audience ratings or the convenience of providing a comfortable environment for certain candidates. That's it! (translated)

The state, like war, is a system. It did not drop from the sky but functions in an evolutionary, constant process. Citizens do not decide on the draft. But they can enforce it more fairly if they live in a conscious democracy. If not, the oligarchy will send them to the front instead of themselves. (translated)

"THE FORCE WING" DISTURBS THE GAME (ONCE AGAIN) TO BENEFIT LULA In the way it is, an inevitable question arises: what are the rules of this election? Every day there is a new court decision interfering in the electoral process. This generates insecurity and feeds a serious doubt: if Flávio Bolsonaro wins at the polls, will the result be respected or could new decisions alter the course of the election? The episode of the Globo Network debate is yet another example of this discussion. A tradition from previous elections - leaving the podium empty for an absent candidate - has become the object of a court decision. Not even defining as a parameter for a high-level debate that the candidate's party has robust representation in the National Congress is respected anymore. It is also legitimate to question whether the same criteria adopted in 2022 are being applied in 2026. In the last election, for example, Jair Bolsonaro was prevented from streaming live from his official residence, as it was decided that this violated the equality of the race between candidates. Today, Lula gives live interviews to television channels from that same location. Regardless of who is the benefited or harmed candidate, democracy demands clear, predictable, and equal rules for all. When the rules change during the game, trust in the already moribund institutions is once again stabbed. And no democracy can treat this as something normal. In this way, it is better for the "Force Wing" of the STF to soon declare the winner of this and future elections. (translated)

Generation⋅s has also chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the upcoming presidential elections! A clear, coherent, and courageous political decision by Generation⋅s. By choosing to start negotiations with La France Insoumise to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy, Generation⋅s has opted not to confine itself to a socialist primary and to face the political reality of the moment. This decision comes in a context where the far right continues to progress and strengthen its political and institutional foothold. In the face of this risk, the division of the left cannot become fatality. It must not also lead to a dilution of the convictions of those who advocate for a profound transformation of our social, ecological, and democratic model. This is also why this decision by Generation⋅s can be considered coherent: it prioritizes the unification of the left willing to break from liberal policies around a clearly identified project, rather than the multiplication of candidacies and competing approaches. In this configuration, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy appears, for those who defend this political line, as the only one today able to widely unify the left of rupture and offer an alternative to both liberalism and the far right. The danger would be to allow the divisions of the left to further open space for the far right, even as some convergences can be observed between certain right-wing forces and the far right. In light of this situation, building a solid, independent, and popular left alternative is more necessary than ever. So let us commend the decision of Generation⋅s. It marks a choice of political coherence: uniting the left forces that want to break from liberal policies, defend social and ecological gains, and construct a true alternative against the far right. The question is no longer about how to organize yet another primary. It is about how to build, right now, the popular unity capable of carrying a transformative left. (translated)

FLÁVIO, FOR THE DEBATE: - Moderate stance. - Signal openness to the points of Cury, Zema, and Caiado (Democracy is about building together). - Commit to the outcome of the polls. - Say you have women to nominate for the STF. - Embrace the idea of a code of ethics for the STF. (translated)

Rob, I'm just jumping in. Team Netherlands, red-white-blue, the same freedom. Beautiful imagery, you surely have a premium ChatGPT account? But may I remind you that just four days ago you were at the D66 congress proclaiming that you were going to ‘hit certain people hard.’ And now suddenly it’s one big warm nest? Pressing question, if we all count, what about the members of parliament who just walked out during @biemyati's maiden speech instead of listening to her argument? Or don't @fvdemocratie members of parliament belong to Team Netherlands? Or am I misunderstanding, and does ‘we are all different’ only apply if the other has a different skin color or sexual preference, but is a member of @D66? You are the prime minister of the whole country, @RobJetten, not just of the people who applaud when you use aggressive language about ‘well-organized organizations’ that undermine our democracy. Show us that you are truly the prime minister of everyone, including the Dutch people you want to ‘hit hard,’ because indeed all Dutch people are different, but all deserve the same freedom, dignity, and the right to be heard, even if their political beliefs don’t agree with yours. Right? (translated)

BREAKING NEWS: PORTUGAL DEFEATED DENMARK AFTER THE UNEXPECTED EXIT OF CRISTIANO RONALDO!! Despite all the controversy arising from Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden and unexpected exit, the Portugal National Team was able to defeat Denmark in the third round of the Nations League. With goals from Joao Cancelo, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha, and Joao Felix, the Portuguese team achieved a very important victory on Danish soil. Brilliant moments of collective play. A capacity for reaction. And a good response when the local team demanded it. The Bug is the captain, the reference, and the greatest legend of his country, but Portugal has a generation to think that, even without him, they can be highly competitive. And yes, last week against Norway and today they started to demonstrate it. The explanation about what happened in Cris’s case will be given until this FIFA date concludes (there's still a match against Norway). This was hinted at by Jorge Jesus. PERFECT STEP FOR PORTUGAL IN THE NATIONS LEAGUE. (translated)

Madness. Simply madness. But it also shows how broken our society is. Because actually millions of people should be taking to the streets now and demonstrating in front of the party headquarters of the SPD and the Greens. They only do that when it is a moral feel-good happening. (translated)
