It was a pleasure to meet with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at COP31 to strengthen California’s ties with Brazil and further our shared climate goals. The state of California will continue to work with Brazil to deepen our shared work on clean energy, carbon markets, and climate resilience.

Getting rid of Jensen Huang is as stupid as Apple getting rid of Steve Jobs. Nothing but a setup. He should have fought but I guess stock price amd the survival of Nvidia takes precedence. What a loss for state of the art chips.

People, There’s no power until next year when those voted take their seats in the house and Senate. Pres. Trump still has executive power. I don’t understand all those people posting like we can stop the war with Iran and do all the other things. Next year only!

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls. That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching. I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee. Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

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. 🧵

Lula vs. Bolsonaro: I was held in solitary confinement for 1,901 days for revealing the truth about the U.S. government's killings and espionage, including against Brazil and its industries. Out of power, Lula fought for my freedom. In power, Lula discussed my persecution with Pope Francis, who decided to meet with my family and offer help. After my release, Lula and I met in Rome to mourn the Holy Father's passing. Lula was kind to my children and asked for nothing in return. In contrast, Jair and Flávio Bolsonaro did nothing and said nothing. Yet without the ability to say no to Washington and Tel Aviv, there can be no domestic policy, only foreign instructions. Those orders are always the same: "Expand our theft of resources and wages, and keep your mouths shut about us murdering children." Sellouts will surrender everything in exchange for a cut, even their own tongues.
