Are you ready for change?! 🚨
youtu.be/ub9bkPRfU_w?is=IeGw…
If Donald Trump were a “strong president”, would he:
Address your concerns on affordability, forever wars, gas prices & corruption, or hide behind culture wars, lies and deranged rants about men’s asses?
Create derogatory names, insert racist tropes and spend billions on ad-hominem attack ads against political opponents, or would he let MAGA republicans debate them on their actual record and future plans?
Hide the disastrous impact of Trump’s Iran war - the human toll, the >60 billion taxpayer bill and the failed negotiations - from the public, or instead livestream it 24/7 like the Gulf wars?
Make false claims about the “trillions” he brought in and blame Biden for the rising inflation, lower jobs, and affordability crisis, or would he actually reflect on his broken promises while republicans own the house, senate and the presidency?
Blame crime on immigrants and sent racist masked thugs into communities, terrorizing & killing citizens, or would he actually back the blue and implement policies to reduce crime and make the county safer, not more divided?
Cut healthcare & SNAP benefits for millions of people, use tariffs to raise household costs for american families by $2.400 to reward billionaires and large corporations and implement the worst of these cuts AFTER the midterms, or would he finally come up with a healthcare plan and implement tax reforms that tax the rich NOT the working class?
Illegaly break sanctions against buying Russian energy products and make deals with zero meaningful effects on gas prices, while blaming Ukraine for getting invaded by Russia, or would he help Ukraine defend itself and release the patriot missiles Europe ordered and already paid for?
Break the law and defy the constitution on a daily basis, protect child sex traffickers and pardon criminals, (crypto) scammers and insurrectionists, or would he lead by example and have his DOJ prosecute the worst criminals and their enablers?
Continue to throw around false accusations about “rigged elections”, after losing every single case and blaming opponents for “election fraud” while he is the only president that ever tried to steal an election (it’s on tape), or would he focus on making it easier for you to cast your vote and increase participation?
Earn billions on quid-pro-quo deals for his family and sponsors while selling off your land, safety, security, life savings, health care and global credibility, or would he build stronger global relationships and close actual trade deals that strengthen the US economy?
Make more 💰on personal stock trades than every member of congress in history combined, abuse his presidency to make billions in personal gains and quod-pro-quo deals, or would he work to improve the struggling economy and lower your bills?
Would he hide the real economic impact of disastrous policies (tariffs, Iran war, etc) which raise inflation, increase your costs and raise the national debt, or would he work relentlessly to lower your bills and boost the real economy?
Would he use taxpayer money to kill the (clean) energy infrastructure of the future to enrich his oil buddies, pollute your communities and drain local resources to build more datacenters, or would he implement policies that lower your energy prices, reduce emissions and turn the US into a leader in cheap, clean renewable energy?
Whine about Nobel peace prizes falsely claiming he “ended 8 wars” while undermining global alliances, embarrassing the US in front of the world by attacking NATO, the UN and the ICC and openly siding with dictators & war criminals, or would he build strong global alliances, improve the global economic order and international rule of law?
Continue to hide the Epstein files, distract & deflect to protect the worst criminals, or would he leave no stone unturned to get justice for the 1000’s of victims and prosecute every single one of the rapists and child sex traffickers and their enablers?
You know the answer!

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”
insurrectionists protecting insurrectionists. Cute!!🤡

THE GREATEST AMERICAN BETRAYAL OF ITS ALLIES IN HISTORY.
While Russia continues its war against Ukraine, the Trump administration is reportedly negotiating sweeping energy and business deals with Moscow.
Russian oil, diesel, Nord Stream gas pipelines, American investments, access to Russian airspace, and even arrangements involving Ukraine’s occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are reportedly on the table.
Let that sink in.
While Ukrainians fight and die defending their country, Washington is exploring opportunities to do business with the very country responsible for invading it.
President Zelenskyy has already warned that the United States is choosing the wrong side of history.
And he has every reason to be furious.
Europe and America’s traditional Western allies have every reason to be deeply alarmed. If these proposals become reality, the consequences for transatlantic trust, NATO unity, and America’s credibility could be enormous.
For decades, the United States presented itself as the leader of the free world, a defender of democracy, sovereignty, and international law.
Now, its administration appears increasingly willing to put business opportunities with Putin’s Russia ahead of the principles it once claimed to defend.
This is not just about Ukraine. It is about whether America’s allies can ever trust Washington again.
And the consequences of that betrayal could last for generations.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty. He said, "no thanks", when asked to serve his country. Speaking about McCain, Trump stated: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
During the 2016 presidential election, Trump’s campaign orchestrated a televised Iowa fundraiser meant for veterans but directed the foundation’s money to boost his political campaign. The charity was used to buy personal items, including a $10,000 portrait of Trump. The New York State Attorney General filed a lawsuit in 2018, regarding Donald J. Trump Foundation, alleging a "pattern of persistent illegality" and self-dealing. The investigation found that Trump used the charity as a personal "piggy bank."
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The Eric Trump Foundation Controversy: This investigation revealed that the charity raised money under the guise of FUNDING THE ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL, but was allegedly charged over $1.2 million by the Trump Organization for using Trump-owned golf courses, shifting donor money meant for sick children back into Trump businesses.
1 fake university shut down. Trump's charities always involved cheating and grifting. HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO RUN A CHARITY IN NEW YORK He and his family are no longer allowed to run a charity in New York because the Trump Organization used the funds for Trump-owned golf courses, SHIFTING DONOR MONEY MEANT FOR SICK CHILDREN INTO TRUMP BUSINESSES. He was ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second. A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. THE ONLY POTUS TO HAVE 3 GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS IN HIS TERMS.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when it’s inconvenient. At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone, then BRAGS about lower crime. He has no long term solution - ever. He just sends in the military. The military seems to be his answer to everything.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
YOU'RE PAYING FOR THIS. NOT CHINA. YOU!
Got America involved in a forever war with Iran, though promised the exact opposite.
Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One. He has continued to side with Putin and has never admitted that Russia invaded Ukraine - UNPROVOKED.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the mid 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

MAGA: if you can’t win… rig it! 🤬
BREAKING: MAGA provocateurs James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been hit with FELONY charges in Minnesota!
They allegedly impersonated REAL voters, dressed up as Muslims and tried to manufacture an election fraud scandal.
The irony is absolutely staggering.
These are the same people who have spent years screaming about election fraud, and now THEY are the ones facing felony election-related charges.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Hold them accountable!

Criminals protect criminals! 🦹
AMERICANS, DO YOU KNOW WHO DONALD TRUMP IS WELCOMING INTO YOUR COUNTRY?
I am a Brazilian journalist, and I have been closely following the criminal investigations involving Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Reuters reported on October 27 that Flávio left Brazil for the United States after losing the presidential election, despite a Brazilian Supreme Court order requiring him to surrender his passports.
Now I have a question:
Will American taxpayers be forced to pay for the protection of a Brazilian politician facing serious criminal investigations?
Before anyone screams “political persecution,” here are the actual case numbers. You can look them up yourselves.
1. BANCO MASTER, DARK HORSE AND SUSPECTED MONEY LAUNDERING
Brazilian Supreme Court (STF)
Case: INQ 5,070
Full docket: 0181367-57.2026.1.00.0000
Related proceedings: PET 16,369 and INQ 5,026.
Federal investigators are examining suspected money laundering, corruption and illegal international financial transactions involving the financing of Dark Horse, a film about Jair Bolsonaro.
The investigation involves financial dealings with Daniel Vorcaro, the former controller of Banco Master.
2. SUSPECTED FINANCIAL LINKS TO THE PCC DRUG-TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION
Brazilian Superior Electoral Court (TSE)
Case: AIJE 0603371-06.2026.6.00.0000
Filed October 23, 2026.
This electoral lawsuit questions whether millions of dollars transferred through companies and investment funds linked to the Dark Horse financing network indirectly benefited Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign.
One company involved in the financial transactions was also identified in investigations concerning suspected money laundering connected to the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital), one of Brazil’s largest criminal organizations.
The lawsuit seeks the annulment of Bolsonaro’s candidacy or election certification and an eight-year disqualification.
To be absolutely clear: the alleged connection between the money and the PCC is under investigation. It has not been judicially established that the PCC financed the film or his campaign.
3. WILLER TOMAZ AND ONLINE GAMBLING
A separate investigation before Brazil’s Supreme Court, overseen by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, examines suspected money laundering involving attorney Willer Tomaz, a close friend of Flávio Bolsonaro.
Investigators are examining financial transactions involving gambling companies, payment platforms and businesses connected to Tomaz.
The exact court docket number has not been publicly verified.
4. THE RACHADINHA CORRUPTION CASE
Rio de Janeiro State Court (TJ-RJ)
Case: 0072696-34.2020.8.19.0000
Prosecutors formally accused Flávio Bolsonaro of crimes including embezzlement, money laundering and participation in a criminal organization involving alleged diversion of public employees’ salaries.
The charges were dismissed in 2022 after evidence was ruled inadmissible.
There was no conviction, but there was also no trial determining whether the alleged conduct occurred.
5. RODRIGO BACELLAR AND COMANDO VERMELHO
Brazilian Supreme Court
Case: PET 14,959
Full docket: 0123047-48.2025.1.00.0000
Rodrigo Bacellar, a political ally of Flávio Bolsonaro, was arrested and later became a criminal defendant in proceedings concerning alleged obstruction of a police operation targeting Comando Vermelho, another major Brazilian drug-trafficking organization.
6. MÁRCIO CANELLA AND ORGANIZED CRIME
Electoral case: RO-El 0601451-66.2026.6.19.0000
Another political ally supported by Flávio Bolsonaro, Márcio Canella, was arrested during an investigation into suspected organized-crime-related money laundering involving fuel businesses.
Brazilian electoral prosecutors have also questioned his candidacy over alleged connections to militias and Comando Vermelho.
These are separate proceedings involving Bolsonaro’s allies, not criminal charges against Flávio himself. 🧵
UN Ambassador @michaelgwaltz just embarrassed himself and the US screaming like a drunk teenager at a UN security meeting!
He became even more unhinged when he claimed the “corrupt elites” steal from the cuban people…
Did he even look at what’s happening in his own country, the unprecedented grifts and corruption, the hypocrisy is off the charts!
Even the chinese ambassador and others had to step in to calm the room down and berate Mike Waltz on his arrogance and hubris!
When you entertain a clown, you will become part of the circus

I analyzed hundreds of tweets from this past weekend and found evidence of two unique disinformation campaigns amplifying Elon Musk’s accusations against Ukraine. One of these campaigns can be traced back to a Russian social media account and one of Putin’s top allies.
my latest. (Link 👇)

BREAKING: Netanyahu's Likud has just submitted a request to extend voting hours beyond 10pm in Israel's election, per Channel 12.
Turnout stood at 55.7% at 4pm, up 8 points on the same hour in 2022 and the highest ever recorded.
It comes as Trump allies are secretly cutting a deal to keep Netanyahu in power even if he loses the election, with Trump backing a unity government.

Elon Musk pointed at the President. The President pointed back. Then the entire Trump administration stepped aside and left him standing alone with the switch in his hand.
That’s how the most powerful private man in space spent the last two weeks: abandoned by his own allies, scolded by his own customers, and arguing with fan accounts at 2 a.m.
Let’s walk through it.
October 10: Trump warns Ukraine to stop hitting Russian oil refineries.
Days later: Musk posts “Zelensky has gone too far.”
October 14: Ukraine’s satellite connections start failing mid-mission. No warning. Drone strikes disrupted. Interceptors that protect Ukrainian cities struggling to stay connected.
Pure coincidence, surely. Just a routine terms-of-service update that happened to land days after the President got angry at Ukraine.
Then the blame game.
Musk: Starshield limits are decided “by the US military and ultimately POTUS.”
Trump: “It wasn’t us.” And he didn’t think it was Musk either.
Rubio: didn’t know beforehand, it’s a commercial matter.
Hegseth: the Pentagon didn’t direct it.
The Wall Street Journal: Musk ordered it.
Musk, a week later: SpaceX “closed the loophole.”
He tried to hide behind the President, and the President’s own cabinet stepped out of the way. The man who spent this year as Washington’s most powerful ally couldn’t find a single official willing to take the hit for him.
Then came the excuses. Terms of service. Offensive drones. Kessler syndrome. Khrushchev. 1783. A 2022 peace plan that would have left Kherson under occupation. Slurs for a journalist. “Burn in hell” for everyone else.
Four explanations, zero documents, and one Doge account cheering him on.
Then a customer spoke up.
Poland’s foreign minister, a government that pays for Starlink in Ukraine, wrote to him publicly:
“Hey, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you.”
Read that again. A NATO frontline state, talking to the richest man alive like a teenager caught with the car keys.
That’s not a complaint ticket. That’s a sovereign customer saying: we no longer trust you.
And that’s the real humiliation.
Governments don’t buy bandwidth. They buy certainty. They buy the guarantee that their soldiers’ communications won’t go dark because one man in Texas had feelings about a refinery strike.
Elon just proved, in public, with timestamps, that this guarantee doesn’t exist.
Every defense ministry on Earth now has a case file titled “What happens when Musk decides.” Every satellite procurement meeting from Warsaw to Paris now includes a new line item: Musk risk.
Europe’s telecom giants were already exploring alternatives before this. Elon just wrote their sales pitch for free.
Think about how badly you have to play a hand this strong.
He built the most important communications network of the war. Ukraine praised him. Ukraine asked him to cut off Russian drones, and he did. He was indispensable.
He took the one thing his company sells governments, which is trust, and set it on fire for a two-week ego trip.
Now his own allies won’t defend him. His customers are warning him. Senators from both parties want answers. And his best defense is a fan edit with a podcast clip.
Elon wanted the world to understand how much power he holds.
He succeeded.
Now the world is going to spend the next decade, and billions of dollars, making sure he never holds it again.
That’s not a tantrum. That’s a legacy.
Insurrectionist should be arrested, tried, convicted and thrown in prison for at least 27 years!
🚨 Estou acionando a Polícia Federal e pedindo a investigação da escalada da violência praticada por bolsonaristas contra quem eles pensam ser eleitores do presidente Lula.
Essa violência está crescendo desde o fim do 1° turno e agora ultrapassou todos os limites, certamente influenciada pelo golpismo de Flávio Bolsonaro, que se nega a reconhecer o resultado das urnas.
Em Rio Verde, no Goiás, a situação é escandalosa. Conforme indicam gravações e prints publicados nas redes, os bolsonaristas estão organizados em grupos de WhatsApp, perseguindo e MATANDO. Há, inclusive, AUTORIDADES da região dentro dos grupos de organização dos ataques.
Em Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, a vereadora Iara Pimentel, do PT, foi brutalmente atacada durante uma carreata pró-Lula no sábado.
Aqui no estado de São Paulo, o engenheiro Marcelo de Oliveira Rocha, de 30 anos, espancado após participar de um ato pró-Lula em Santos, teve a sua morte cerebral confirmada ontem.
Em Sorocaba, também em São Paulo, conforme a imprensa local, a Guarda Civil Municipal, comandada pelo bolsonarista tiktoker Rodrigo Manga, dispersou uma celebração de eleitores de Lula com violência, truculência, cassetetes, armamento pesado e gritando "vazem daqui, seus petistas".
Em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, policiais militares foram flagrados pilotando uma viatura de forma caótica, invadindo uma pista em sentido contrário e atropelando deliberadamente um motoqueiro que carregava uma bandeira do presidente Lula.
Isso é muito grave. Os casos de violência estão acontecendo em todo o país, já superaram fronteiras estaduais, e há indícios que apontam que eles estão sendo organizados por meios digitais com participação de autoridades políticas e praticados nas ruas também por autoridades policiais.
Queremos que cada um dos casos de violência e cada um dos agressores sejam devidamente investigados e queremos uma investigação ampla que traga a resposta: existe algum comando ou uma ordem central incentivando, organizando e até mesmo financiando esses ataques? Queremos respostas da Polícia Federal, e queremos a PRISÃO dos agressores.
