The high interest rates burdening many Brazilians, including from credit cards and payrolls loans, “would make an American loan shark blush.” Facing financial headwinds, many have resorted to betting apps, experts say, hoping to earn quick cash to pay off loans, only to sink deeper into debt.

There was a point in 1944 when the Nazis realized the war was lost and turned on each other. Now, in 2026, two daft traitorous twats — General Flynn and Dan Bongino — are doing the same. MAGA has reached that point.

AI investments will average about 3.6% of GDP annually between 2025 and 2032. Van Nieuwerburgh calculates that, using a 10% rate of return, the industry would need to generate annual revenues of about $3.7 trillion by 2032 to recover these costs (growing from its current levels of about $200bn

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

South Africa’s Foreign Ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III for what it described as “undiplomatic conduct” on Tuesday. That marks the third time Bozell has been issued a “démarche” for his inflammatory remarks, in just eight months since he assumed his post in Pretoria.
The backdrop for Bozell’s most recent démarche was the announcement by the Trump administration in mid-September of visa bans against unnamed South African officials it accused of being complicit in policies that discriminate against white South Africans. The State Department justified the bans by pointing to a list of demands it made of the South African government that had gone unaddressed.

These included prioritizing policing of rural crime, which the Trump administration has characterized as a genocide against white farmers, and reforming the country’s affirmative action laws, which among other things require foreign companies operating in South Africa to be half-owned by Black South Africans. The South African government was reportedly stunned by the travel ban, as they were announced just days after Pretoria had offered to engage with the U.S. on its demands.

The former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee alleged that Vladimir Putin possesses a comprehensive kompromat file on Donald J. Trump. He didn’t suggest it. He stated it. The file, he said, is extensive, meticulously documented, and designed not to destroy Trump — but to control him.
According to Mussayev, the kompromat includes financial records showing illicit transactions connected to accounts either owned by Trump or clearly affiliated with his name. It also contains statements from operatives who were directly involved in kompromat operations — individuals who could, if necessary, provide witness testimony confirming the authenticity and intent behind the material. Most damning of all, he claims, are the recordings: audio and video documentation of sexual crimes against minors and acts of violence against women.
