1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

It was right there in black and white. You didn’t need divine intervention to forecast this dumpster fire; you just needed to listen to the warnings. Save the prayers—this isn't an act of God, it's an act of voting.

Brazil is voting today, and while the presidential election is likely to go to a runoff — the results are a clear and significant shift to the right since the 2022 election and set up Flávio Bolsonaro very well to oust Lula in the October 25 runoff.

NEW: When the votes passed two-thirds in 2013, Cardinal Cláudio Hummes hugged Jorge Bergoglio and told him, “Don’t forget the poor.” Bergoglio thought of Francis of Assisi and took his name. Eight hundred years after the saint’s death, today’s reflection asks what we’ve forgotten.

Brilliant plan: cut military leadership, then ask a billionaire Pentagon contractor what the military should buy next. Why bother with independent advice when the salesman can write the shopping list? Nothing says “national security” like letting someone help decide how much we’ll pay him.

The first thing that his son will do is free his father and go on a revenge campaign against everyone involved in holding his father accountable. Somehow, Brazil saw what the US went through with Trump 2 and decided, what if we elected Trump Jr instead.
