The Brazilian Supreme Court is fearless in the face of sanctions -and will ensure that the trial of Bolsonaro stays on track. Trump is once again attempting to obstruct justice when it comes to holding former presidents accountable. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
Brazil's Justice Moraes ignores US sanctions, says he will continue doing his job
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and "ignore the sanctions" imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system.

Question:
Are there any independent journalists on this Rick Caruso story about how he saved his little Pacific Palisades mall, and how much he spent doing so?
Did his private firefighters sign NDA’s?
I heard he had a little water leftover and saved a house, is that proven?
I smell smoke.

HOUSE UPDATE
Republicans: 220 seats
Democrats: 214 seats
TBD: 1 seat (CA13, Dems lead)
Could be a 220-215 majority, which shrinks to 217-215 early 2025 when you subtract Gaetz, Stefanik, Waltz.
The GOP gerrymander in North Carolina (flipped 3 Dem seats) saved their majority.
