Bolsonaro absconded early last week shortly after losing the 25 October election to the leftwing incumbent Luiz Incio Lula da Silva by more than 4m votes. On Thursday night Bolsonaro made his first major public appearance since arriving in the US, speaking at a rightwing gathering at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property where he claimed "great things" were still to come.


Lauren Boebert's campaign says it is investigating "unusual voting patterns" as the Colorado congresswoman teeters on the edge of losing her re-election bid. Boebert is trailing Democrat Eileen Laubacher by 0.9 percentage points with more than 97 percent of the vote counted, according to the Associated Press. Colorado news anchor Kyle Clark reported that Laubacher's vote lead is well outside the 921-vote threshold for an automatic recount.


Former Republican Senator John Sununu accused President Donald Trump of abandoning his promise to "drain the swamp," claiming the president and his family now appear to be "in on every transaction or deal" in Washington, D.C. Sununu, who lost his bid to return to the Senate in New Hampshire in the midterms on Tuesday, blamed Trump's business dealings and ongoing military campaign against Iran for driving voters away from Republicans in the midterm elections. Speaking to former Ohio Governor John Kasich for the SiriusXM's The John Kasich Show, Sununu argued that the president had betrayed two central promises that helped return him to the White House, and this backfired on Republicans like him running for office.

Racist misogynist SECWAR Pete Hegseth (R) -- an incompetent alcoholic and failure who fell into ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's trap which sunk the US into a never-ending Middle Eastern quagmire against the people of Iran -- a war which is bankrupting the US -- blither-blathers incoherently for five minutes over Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-KY) "Sham Articles Of Impeachment."

Bibi and Senile Satan have bankrupted America. Just look at the astronomical costs to the American taxpayer who doesn't enjoy worldclass universal healthcare like Israelis. Wow. The entire Trumpf junta should be court-martialed forthwith.


"The entire Democratic Party owes Zohran Mamdani a huge thank you. Before he burst onto the scene, the party was directionless. We had lost our way, our mojo, and our confidence. We abandoned the working class, and voters abandoned us in return. Zohran got us back on track with energy, clarity, and a real connection to the people we left behind. Without him, we might not be where we are today. Who couldn't like him? [Zohran] radiates joy, empathy, kindness, and love." '' " "Mamdani's election was a beacon of light in 2025 and gave us all hope. Now he's a household name, and Democrats around the country love him. He gave us hope we can do the same thing around the country. Progressive Democrats are the future." Even Dummkopf Trumpf has a "thing" for handsome and charismatic Zohran.

NYG QB Jaxson Dart and Zohran Mamdani (D) are Trumpf's "type."


NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) criticized oligarch James Dolan, the owner of Madison Square Garden, one of NYC's largest entertainment venues, for his company's use of surveillance technology on New Yorkers. His Honor stated this invasive police state measure should be banned, emphasizing that surveillance technologies are "indicative of much that is wrong in our country today." Two pieces of legislation have been introduced in the NYC Council at banning the collection of biometric data (e.g. facial recognition), in public places across NYC. The popular and effective Democratic mayor stated that this draft legislation is "an important response to this kind of an issue."

Fatcat James Dolan, who inherited his father's gigantic business empire, yucking it up with Andrew "AIPAC" Cuomo. Figures.


District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan blocked construction of President Trump's Arch early Friday morning, stopping work the administration had hoped to begin immediately. Just before midnight, she issued an order barring the government from any construction work for 14 days, granting a request filed days earlier by the governments of D.C. and Virginia. Judge Chutkin's ruling came less than two hours after a federal planning commission packed with Trump allies granted final approval to the arch in an 8-4 vote.

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that he says will prevent future presidents from making certain changes to the White House Oval Office. Trump, a former real estate mogul, has altered the president's official office during his second term, most notably by adding many gold features to its walls. "So we're making it a national monument, and it will not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape," Trump told reporters on Thursday.

Following the inconclusive election results in Israel, the key to ousting ICC-indicted war criminal PM Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) from power lies with the Israeli Communist Party (AKA the "Makis") and the "Joint List," an alliance of three parties: Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad. Hadash is a Jewish-Arab coalition led by the Makis. This bloc has long fought for an end to the brutal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, a Palestinian state alongside Israel based on the 1967 borders, and full equality for all Arab citizens (one-fifth of Israel's population). The Joint List is headed by Yousef Jabareen, a Hadash leader and law professor, a man educated in Israel and the US. The Joint List includes Member of Knesset (MK) Ofer Cassif, a communist. To govern Israel, any ruling coalition must include this progressive bloc as neither Benjamin Netanyahu (who won 53 seats) nor Gadi Eisenkot " "Likud Lite" " (who won 48 seats) have a majority of 61 seats in the 120-member Knesset.


WASHINGTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump faced pressure from Republicans on Wednesday to change course after a midterm election rout handed Democrats control of Congress and voters rejected his handpicked candidates in key races.

Republican allies and strategists called for Trump to shake up his White House personnel, restore discipline and scrap policies they blamed for the losses, including the Iran war and tariffs, as his presidency enters its final years.

Veteran Republican strategist John Feehery called the results a "huge disaster" for Trump.

"He needs to clean house," Feehery said. "Every day from this point forward, he's becoming more and more lame."

But Trump showed little indication that he viewed the election outcome as a reason to change direction.

"I don't view it as a hit on me," he told Fox News late on Tuesday.
