Trump's 2018 "zero tolerance" policy was denounced on both sides of the political aisle as inhumane, and a federal court ruled it illegal. Now the Trump administration is separating families again, only this time more quietly, and away from the border.

Flávio Bolsonaro got 56 million votes yesterday. He's under investigation for alleged “money laundering, illicit capital flight, corruption" after he negotiated a $24-million investment from a now-jailed banker—accused of leading the biggest bank fraud in Brazil's history—to finance the movie.
