The attache, Marcelo Ivo de Carvalho, seems to have tried to get the US government to detain & deport Brazilian intelligence chief Alexandre Ramagem, who fled Brazil in September following his conviction for plotting a coup with ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. Instead, the US will expel Carvalho.
US asks Brazil's security attache to leave country By Reuters April 20, 20266:51 PM EDTUpdated 4 hours ago BRASILIA, April 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. government has asked Brazilian security attache Marcelo Ivo de Carvalho to leave the United States, the U.S. Embassy in the South American country said on Monday. De Carvalho, who acts as a liaison with U.S. immigration enforcement, has been based in Miami. The Reuters Iran Briefing newsletter keeps you informed with the latest developments and analysis of the Iran war. Sign up here. The move comes after ICE last week briefly detained Brazilian intelligence chief Alexandre Ramagem, who fled Brazil in September following his conviction for plotting a coup with ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, a political ally of Donald Trump. "No foreigner gets to game our immigration system to both circumvent formal extradition requests and extend political witch hunts into U.S. territory," the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs said on X, adding "the relevant Brazilian official" was asked to depart. The message, which was reposted by the U.S. embassy in Brazil, did not name the official or explicitly mention Ramagem's case. The embassy later confirmed to Reuters it referred to de Carvalho. Brazil's foreign ministry and federal police did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
They're expelling Brazil's security attache because the attache tried to have Brazil's coup plotters hiding in the US sent back to Brazil to face the Brazilian justice system for the crimes they committed in Brazil. The US government is protecting right wing extremists and coup plotters.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.
Fun timing

This is all so frustrating. He withdrew his tattoo apology & went on an antisemite's podcast claiming to be a big fan! He kept doing this stuff *during* the campaign! This isn't a purity test. The party is making a truly unfortunate mistake with Plattner.
If we're going to retain the concept of lifetime appointments, this is the only way

The present issue of the Jewish Political Studies Review is devoted to the history of Haj Amin al-Husseini and his long shadow. Recently, the issue of the Muftis historical responsibility became a subject of public controversy when, on October 20, 2015, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, stated in an address at the 37th Zionist Congress in Jerusalem that Haj Amin al-Husseini convinced Hitler to change his anti-Jewish policy from forced emigration to extermination. Netanyahu mistakenly argued that Husseini "was one of the leading architects of the Final Solution," but later retracted this statement.1 The contributor of our lead article, Jeffrey Herf, wrote that "it is important to note that authoritative historians of the decision-making sequence leading to the Holocaust found no such role for Husseini. The implication of their work is that, had he never arrived in Hitlers Berlin in 1941, the Holocaust would still have taken place.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.
you beautiful menace im crying
It’s simple. He just wants someone to the right of the most right wing democrat and to the left of Nazis. He’s just a normal man. Just an innocent man
They see it as a big win, or so it seems…

There are two videos from two D.C. officers:

They don't show the shooting itself, but the footage seems to confirm Brown's claim that he wasn't at all a threat to police and federal agents after he was pulled over.
Still though, that drop from 2020 is staggering and driven entirely by MAGA rhetoric and psychotic energy policies. What a frightening cult of opinion.
Took them long enough but certainly glad they got there

Seems so. Or perhaps they aren't as concerned about midterms when the party line is fast becoming "we choose our voters and election outcomes". Particularly if they intend to get more aggressive in implementing that agenda.

His current book tour has fueled speculation that Booker is looking to run for president again. The title of his newest book, Stand, is a reference to his record-setting filibuster last year in the Senate, during which he addressed the Trump administration’s policies for 25 hours.
Right. We will need to find someone that understands (or cares) it'll take more than 25 hours of work to be the opposition to fascism
