🚨 UNDERCOVERED: U.S. SANCTIONS. BRAZIL'S ELECTION. ONE POLITICAL FAMILY.
Reuters reports that two senior State Department officials pushed to restore the Bolsonaro family to power.
Ten current and former U.S. officials described the effort.
Three said diplomats were told restoring Jair Bolsonaro was U.S. policy.
The U.S. sanctioned a Brazilian Supreme Court justice. Reuters reports officials advocated sanctions as part of the political effort.
The sanctions were real. The reported electoral purpose is the revelation.
Who authorized using American national-security powers to advance a political family's prospects?

It should never be forgotten that Ken Paxton was a leader in the coup to nullify the election of Joe Biden. He filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin even though he was the AG for Texas. His suit was quickly tossed by the Court. On January 7th Paxton claimed the insurrection of the previous day was the work of antifa. This lie was quickly disproven.
On the 7th 46 state attorneys general disavowed the violence of the 6th in a letter to the Acting Attorney General of the U.S. A few days later three more AGs sent their own letter in condemning the violent insurrection. Only Ken Paxton failed to sign either letter.
The difference between Trump and Hitler is YOU.
We can debate policy differences.
But selling out America and enabling unchecked corruption aren't simply policy disagreements. They're questions of accountability and the limits of power.
Vote.
Because YOU have a voice in what America becomes.

It’s really important that people understand that these are paid posts to again set up the lie that the election was stolen.
I don’t know for sure what will happen in the Senate or Governor’s race, but one thing I can say with 100% confidence is that Republicans will NOT gain seats Texas State House. That was the biggest tell in this post.
There is not a single politico in the entire state - from EITHER side - who believes or has predicted this.
6 flips in the state house is the floor for Democrats this year. The ceiling is the sky.
Denying Ukraine Patriot interceptors that were ordered, authorized, and paid for while Russia continues to unleash devastating attacks on civilians is unconscionable.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth must answer for reports that these critical defensive weapons are being delayed or blocked.
And Congress? Its silence is indefensible.
These interceptors are meant to save lives, not sit idle while civilians die.
Congress, do your damn job. Demand answers. Demand accountability. Act.
Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
America cannot afford to keep watching its farmers drown in debt while an administration treats temporary bailouts as a substitute for meaningful agricultural policy.
Spending billions more over the next two years won’t fix the underlying problems, especially for small family farms struggling to survive.
Farmers don’t need another Band-Aid. They need policies that make farming profitable, sustainable, and worth passing on to the next generation.
🚨 REALITY CHECK: TRUMP'S UNCLE DID NOT INVENT RADAR.
“My uncle invented radar! Can you believe it?” Trump declared.
No. And the historical record explains why.
Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the underlying science in 1886. Christian Hülsmeyer patented a detection system in 1904. Robert Watson-Watt developed working radar equipment in 1935.
Trump's uncle, John G. Trump, made important contributions to radar development during World War II.
But radar existed before his wartime work.
Contributing to an invention is not the same as inventing it.
The history is impressive enough without rewriting it.

Alaska is not Trump’s to give away. Stop this deal. Congress, do your job.
The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped.

Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott $500K in campaign cash.
Musk's companies have received $1.6 billion in tax incentives and $30 million in grants funded by Texas taxpayers.
Texans deserve to know what else he's gotten in return.

.@JamesTalarico: Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle — but what makes him a man is that in the midst of that battle, he doesn’t lose himself.
This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field.
We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables. Because, as every Texan knows: clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...
Hmm.. I kinda agree with the conclusions here.
