Tensions Rise as Trump Admin Signals Major Moves Ahead of Election
Concerns are growing this week as the Trump administration appears to be taking controversial steps just days before Brazil's pivotal presidential election. Critics warn that the administration is setting the stage for interference while incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva prepares to face off against far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of Trump's ally and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

This is a confession of authoritarian intent. DHS agents trained to impersonate you to snoop on your voter file? That's the Gestapo with a badge and a budget. "40 names a day" of industrial-scale harassment based on "shaky data" is the blueprint for a police state, not a democracy.
