Brazil’s top court, the Supreme Federal Tribunal (STF), convicted exiled former lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro on Tuesday and sentenced him to four years and two months in prison on “coercion” charges for allegedly “courting U.S. interference” in the trial against his father, Jair Bolsonaro. In addition to his prison sentence, the STF imposed an eight-year public office ban on Eduardo Bolsonaro and the payment of a roughly $32,000 fine. Eduardo Bolsonaro is Jair Bolsonaro’s third son and a former Brazilian congressman who represented the state of São Paulo. The younger Bolsonaro has resided in the United States since early 2025 after…

Even the Wall Street Journal‘s pro-migration editors recognize that the economic harm caused by illegal migration drains the tepid public support for legalized migration. “In recent years, those rules [in immigration policy] haven’t been consistently enforced,” said a June 16 op-ed by James Carter, a deputy undersecretary of labor in the George W. Bush administration, adding: The result is a market distortion [because a bubble of illegal labor] holds down wages for those Americans most exposed to labor competition from unauthorized workers [and] increases demand for housing without a corresponding increase in supply. The economic damage to ordinary Americans, the…

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said President Barack Obama’s “nuclear agreement with Iran was a masterpiece of diplomacy.” Host Jen Psaki said, “Just today at a press conference, he name-dropped President Obama in a press conference, which was a completely crazy press conference where he barely understood what was in the Iran nuclear deal to begin with. Why do you think I’ve been thinking about this? Why do you think President Trump is so obsessed with Barack Obama? Pelosi said, “Well, I think it relates to his own failures. You have to understand. Well, you…

The White House sent the “memorandum of understanding” putting hostilities with Iran on hold to Congress on Thursday, after days of complaints from lawmakers of both parties that they didn’t receive the agreement sooner. The document obtained by POLITICO lays out 14 points the U.S. and Iran reached over at least temporarily ending the nearly four-month military campaign launched by President Donald Trump. Congress received the agreement after Trump signed it Wednesday night in France and shortly before Vice President JD Vance briefed reporters at the White House on the deal, which sets up 60 days of further negotiations on…

This is the ‘Hormuz Effect’ – the ultimate symbol of the decline of the American dream The US-Iran War is officially over. After months of back-and-forth negotiations, a finalized Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed by US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian, the fighting stopped, and shipping will resume at Iranian ports and through the Strait of Hormuz.It is this last part that deserves more attention, because the entire focus of the American effort during the negotiation period boiled down to getting oil flowing freely once again through this choke point. As James Carvelle famously noted…

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos challenged widespread concerns about AI eliminating jobs during a recent interview, arguing instead that the technology will generate unprecedented demand for human workers. Business Insider reports that speaking at the VivaTech conference in Paris on Wednesday, Jeff Bezos presented a contrarian view on the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, predicting that AI will create a labor shortage rather than the mass unemployment many experts fear. “I know there’s a lot of concern that many people have, including many smart people, that AI is going to make humans redundant,” Bezos said. “I totally disagree with…

President Donald Trump arrived at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Evian, France with a humorous summary of the geopolitical situation, telling the assembled reporters and world leaders: “I’m the boss.” Trump also got some laughs by inviting reporters to stick around for the closed-door G7 summit: “Would you like to stay for the meeting? It’s OK with me.” The press was nevertheless obliged to clear the room when talks began. The White House was sufficiently pleased with the audience reaction to publish the video on social media, and Trump did seem to be getting most of what he…

Wednesday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said President Donald Trump’s Iran deal was an “unconditional surrender.” Host Chris Hayes said, “I think there’s basically two Democratic policy party positions I’ve seen. The war was a bad idea, stupid and reckless to enter into. And we it led to a bad agreement because of that. But that’s basically the best up of bad options. And the other is it was a bad idea to begin with. It led to bad options because of it. But ultimately it’s so bad he shouldn’t have signed the deal. What is…

The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously advanced the NO FAKES Act by voice vote on Thursday. Introduced by Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), it would create new protections against AI-enabled replicas and deepfakes and allow people to sue over the unauthorized use of their likeness. The bill could be included in a package of AI and kids’ safety bills that Blackburn is currently working on with the White House. The latest version of the bill has earned broad support from Hollywood and the tech industry, receiving endorsements from YouTube, TikTok and OpenAI as well as Disney and the…

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that European leaders who interacted with him warmly at the G7 summit appeared to be aligning with his view. Breitbart News White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson asked Trump, “We’ve seen European leaders interact very warmly with you at this summit. Do you think they’re coming around to your worldview?” Trump, who was speaking alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, responded, “I think they think I was right. I’m sort of always right, you know, when you get right down to it. I think they think I was right. They feel good. Now, all of a sudden, they all…
