BREAKING: In a jaw dropping moment, a Republican voter announces her support for James Talarico.
"I have voted Republican for many, many years, but this midterm election, we need a changeā
Kilroy, W.H. retweeted
Voter: Iām a Republican. I'm an old school Reagan Republican, and I believe personal integrity means things. And so I support people that have good personal integrity, and I like James Talarico. He is the kind of guy we need in office.
Q: Not Ken Paxton?
Voter: Definitely not Ken Paxton. Like I said, I think we need people with personal integrity. My father taught me personal integrity is what you do when you think nobody's watching, and we know what Mr. Talaricoās opponent will do when nobody's watching. I think we need people that are willing to represent their constituents and not just their donors.

A Brazilian judge has ordered an investigation into a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance, saying it may have aided right-wing candidate FlĆ”vio Bolsonaro in Brazilās presidential election. trib.al/TQDdEHf

A Brazilian judge ordered an investigation into a donor network set up by J.D. Vance and Flavio Bolsonaro who just lost the presidential election. And Trump just granted Bolsonaro a visa when he was on the verge of being arrested. Trump, standing up for despots, not the U.S.

These people look you in the eye and say āAmerica First.ā Then whose interests are they actually putting first?
The Washington Post reports that FlƔvio Bolsonaro left Brazil for the U.S. in defiance of a court order and that a State Department official says his family will receive visas.
Meanwhile, a Brazilian justice has ordered an investigation into alleged campaign assistance involving Rockbridge, the donor network JD Vance co-founded.
What a fucking mess. Americans are worried about jobs, groceries and gas. Why are we risking relationships with our neighbors over political allies facing legal trouble?
Electing Trump and his cronies again was a mistake.

Rockbridge, co-founded by JD Vance & Chris Buskirk, faces a Brazilian criminal investigation into foreign interference for Bolsonaro. Police will probe for paid political posts, platform manipulation and whether support was tied to access to rare earths.

Brazil's Federal Police are opening an investigation into possible illegal collusion between the Thiel/Vance associated Rockbridge Network, Meta corporation and the Bolsonaro campaign. At stake: facilitated tech bro access to Brazil's rare earth minerals panamericandispatch.org/p/feā¦

Isnāt it interesting that right wing Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro was allowed to flee to the U.S after losing the Presidential election & now J.D Vanceās RockBridge is being investigated by the Federal police in Brazil as orders by the Brazilian Supreme Court.

If you're from the US:
Don't believe FlƔvio Bolsonaro is fleeing persecution from a leftist dictatorship.
He's deeply involved in serious corruption cases with very strong evidence.
He's fleeing to your country because he's a corrupt coward who knows he'll be convicted.

"Once upon a time, this stuff actually seemed to work for Trump. He built a whole lurid Technicolor artificial world for his supporters to live in. He lied and lied, and from time to time he won.
But itās over. Heās done, the jig is up. Nobody believes."

Marco Rubio is the one who has led the dozens of illegal election interference operations across South America and Europe; he is the one who is pushing for the destabilization of Mexico and helped Bolsonaro escape money laundering charges, attempted to rig Brazil's election.

Flavio Bolsonaro has landed in Miami and now has a U.S. Visa.
Funny how the Trump admin loves to pick and choose who they let in. This guy is under investigation for money laundering.
Kilroy, W.H. retweeted
FlƔvio Bolsonaro declaring himself president of Brazil while hiding like a coward in Miami, is honestly, very embarrassing. It's the 2nd most embarrassing political moment this year, right behind Donald Trump openly fantasizing about men's asses and bodies on stage.
Kilroy, W.H. retweeted
FlƔvio Bolsonaro is under criminal investigation in Brazil for money laundering, corruption, and illegal foreign financing of his presidential campaign.
That is why this fascist fled to the United States, which should surprise no one. The U.S. has a long history of providing asylum and safe harbor to fascists.
Historical records and declassified government documents show that the United States under Operation Paperclip provided entry and safe harbor to thousands of Nazis and fascist collaborators following World War II, primarily to gain a military advantage against the Soviet Union.
This tells you everything that you need to know about the United States: Embracing and adopting fascism to stop socialism and protect capitalism is the modus operandi of the United States.

Trump's crackdown on legal immigration has an exception: his political allies like right wing authoritarian FlƔvio Bolsonaro and his family. Meanwhile, he has no problem cutting off TPS for over a dozen countries.

š§š·šŗšø Four decoy cars, an Italian passport, a jet waiting across the Argentine border: how Flavio Bolsonaro slipped a Supreme Court travel ban and landed in Miami on a visa Trump signed off personally
The Wall Street Journal has the route.
Monday night his convoy left BrasĆlia and split four ways while reporters chased the wrong cars; Tuesday his allies told the press he was already in Florida while he was still in Brazil, driving hundreds of miles to the triple frontier.
At 10:50 p.m. he crossed the bridge into Puerto IguazĆŗ with his wife and daughters, Argentine airport police escorted him to a Gulfstream that Trump adviser Jason Miller had helped charter, Milei's top aide watched from the ground in contact with Eduardo Bolsonaro, and the plane lifted off at 12:21 a.m. with Flavio flying on his Italian passport, refueled in Ecuador, and landed at Opa-locka at 9:30, where officers shielded the family with umbrellas.
Trump approved the entry Tuesday, Rubio moved the visas, and the family came in on one-year humanitarian parole.
If that sounds familiar, itās because MarĆa Corina Machado ran the same play ten months ago: a wig and a false identity through ten of Maduroās checkpoints, a fishing boat to CuraƧao with Navy F-18s circling the route, a private jet to Oslo, and a thank-you to Washington once she was safe.
Same machinery, same Trump circle, and the same kind of regime on the other end.
Maduro had a travel ban and a fugitive warning waiting for Machado; Lula has Moraes, a judge who jailed the father for 27 years, sentenced the brother in absentia, took the sonās passports the morning after he lost, and sits on a police dossier tying him to the very banker scandal heās prosecuting... and that's not even the tip of the iceberg on this guy.
When a court like that orders you to stay home, leaving isnāt fleeing justice, itās refusing to be the next Bolsonaro behind bars.
Trump says the family was ātreated very unfairlyā but he āwonāt get involved.ā
The plane says he already did, and thatās the right call.
