A esquerda apparatchik dizia que a Selic alta era conspiração de Campos Neto. Agora, com novo presidente do BC nomeado por Lula, a Selic vai a 14,75% — maior em 20 anos. E o que fazem? Atacam Campos Neto por ir ao setor privado. Hipocrisia pura. A decisão é técnica, sempre foi.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Latam has been spared. Tariffs on many countries—especially Asia—are significantly higher. Those targeting Latam remain relatively low, hovering around 10%. Whether this reflects strategic priorities or political influence, it’s clear the region has been treated with relative leniency.

Trying to defend Lula, Hoffmann argues that Bolsonaro was much worse, a real misogynist.

Tarcísio, reagindo à denúncia contra Bolsonaro: nega envolvimento do ex-presidente em plano golpista e afirma: "estamos juntos".
E tem quem ainda considere Tarcísio um democrata, um centrista razoável, um bom gestor, uma boa alternativa.
Boa sorte.
