It also underscored how quickly many in Washington are moving after the Republican senator’s death Saturday to claim his mantle for their own purposes. Many of Graham’s surviving colleagues instead rallied around a proposal they believe would better honor…

Brazilian leftist Congressman Lindbergh Farias announced over the weekend that he is asking the Supreme Federal Tribunal (STF) to revoke the humanitarian house arrest provisions granted to former President Jair Bolsonaro. The request, Farias detailed, is allegedly justified on the grounds that Bolsonaro’s son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, read a handwritten letter penned by his father during a livestream — which, according to Farias, constitutes a “violation” of the terms of Jair Bolsonaro’s house arrest. Farias is a lawmaker of the ruling Workers’ Party (PT) led by radical leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva representing the state of Rio de Janeiro. On Saturday,…
Far-left Sen.
