It’s just crazy how literally nothing can break the perception that republicans are fiscally conservative. It does not matter that republicans have exploded the debt and deficit every time for the last 50 years, people still insist they’re fiscally conservative

If the stock market crashes on Monday, it would cement a Democratic sweep on Tuesday. Ironically, a crash that helps Democrats win may be driven by investors pricing in that outcome, as Democrats will likely raise corporate taxes and be more fiscally reckless than Republicans.

With a single import (Bolsonaro), Trump has dismantled the law and order narrative, the immigration narrative, the isolationism narrative, and the anti-corruption narrative. The entire MAGA cult that cheered these things don't even care.🤬🤦‍♂️

No asylum for people fleeing war in Sudan or conflict in Haiti, but Rubio is rolling out the red carpet for Bolsonaro. Apparently, fleeing violence doesn’t qualify. Denying election results does.

Why did the flight manifest list Flavio Bolsonaro as an Italian National and not Brazilian meaning that he just immigrated to the United States with falsified documents. Where is ICE ? Didn’t Ron DeSantis say that Florida wouldn’t become a Sanctuary State. Maralago bound.

Bolsonaro reportedly left Brazil without his passport and fled to the US. If he wants to come into this country, he should do it the right way. Legally, with the proper papers. If not, he should be turned over to ICE.

Flávio Bolsonaro fleeing to Florida is no anomaly. Under Trump's corrupt authoritarian regime, America is fast becoming a sanctuary for deposed dictators, aspiring autocrats, and fugitive pedophiles. The deranged psychopath is rapidly transforming the country into the ultimate safe haven for far-right criminals fleeing justice.

This whole Bolsonaro thing is crazy because international fugitives used to pick Russia to run from accountability. Now, they pick America. They feel safe here. Disgusting. We need to deport every one of these thugs Trump lets in.

BREAKING: Allies of failed Brazilian Presidential Candidate Flávio Bolsonaro say the Trump administration is aware of him illegally fleeing from Brazil and that Trump intends to grant him political asylum after his election loss to Lula. He is reportedly en route to the US (Miami/Dallas area) with family, having missed a court deadline to surrender his passports amid a money-laundering probe.

We really moved on too quickly from Donald Trump Jr. marrying Jeffrey Epstein’s personal bankers’ daughter, and a Russian oligarch paid for the whole thing in a blatant bribery scheme.

Trump told us he needed Greenland to keep China and Russia out of the Arctic Circle. Then he gave away Alaska's North Slope to Russia. Just ... invited his buddies in. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.

And another. Trump isn’t just betraying Ukraine to the Kremlin, he’s selling out America too.

This is strange. I was told the foreign countries pay the tariffs, so why would this help in the election?

Jesus, what a fucking idiot! It’s his fucking state. Who makes these people???? Iowa has extensive cycling infrastructure including bike lanes and trails, plus RAGBRAI, the world's largest multi-day bicycle tour which has crossed the state annually since 1973 with thousands of riders.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.
