President Trump, 2 November 2026

Susan Kokinda, 2 November 2026

On the eve of the midterms, Susan Kokinda sets President Trump's final message to Republicans, given to Benny Johnson ("be smart, be strong, love your country"), against Senator Elissa Slotkin's September 30 speech at the Carnegie Endowment, where she called Trump's America "the Titanic", and her stage partner Anne Applebaum's praise for the January 6 hearings as "constructed for television". Slotkin's undercover-video remarks of October 29 show what her post-midterm "signature cases" would be: the White House ballroom and the Reflecting Pool. The episode then follows the playbook to Poland: Slotkin's visit to Poland and Hungary and the "Iron Broom", Prime Minister Donald Tusk's move against the Constitutional Tribunal, President Karol Nawrocki's return to Warsaw, U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose's statement, and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski's defence of the government, with a look at Sikorski's and Applebaum's British ties and the Integrity Initiative, funded by the British Foreign Office. It closes in Michigan, where Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the Senate, and sets Slotkin's "corruption" narrative against the President's moves on electricity for data centres, health care and drug prices, October's new factories, and child and Hispanic poverty at record lows.

Judge Dismisses Criminal Complaint Against Two Former FBI Officials Accused of Lying to Congress About Hunter Biden

Breaking: Federal judge dismisses—and lambastes—the DOJ false statements case against two former FBI officials. Calls it “weaponization.” Judge Faruqui—a former federal prosecutor himself—said the government made a number of errors in their "slapdash job" of a case. He said there was no evidence presented before the court that the FBI agents' statements were knowingly false or material. He said the government failed to establish a motive for why the agents would make false statements. He told prosecutors it was "incredibly unfair" that the DOJ sent into court with such a weak case. "This does not feel like an investigation," Faruqui said. "It feels like a broken one-wish willow obsession." He added that he was "deeply troubled by what has happened here in this case," and that what happened "cannot be described as anything other than weaponization." "It was a rush to charge, and that was a mistake," Faruqui said of the case.

Zia Faruqui— and my longtime followers are familiar with his name—is a magistrate judge. Not appointed by the president, not confirmed by the Senate.

He signed hundreds of J6 arrest warrants including on the unlawful 1512c2 charge. He refused to release Couy Griffin, accused of 2 misdemeanors, from custody.

Last year, he actually apologized to a guy accused of pointing lasers at Secret Service agents and the president’s helicopter after he was charged.

Once again - the abject failure of Congressional Republicans to hold ANY of these judges accountable continues to reverberate in the hopelessly corrupt, unaccountable DC courthouse.

So holding Democrats and leftists accountable for weaponizing the FBI and DOJ against Republicans and obstructing my investigation is now considered weaponizing the government?

How do you obtain justice in a judiciary populated by leftist judges?

Via @AP Shadow Government Criminal Complaint Dismissed “What has transpired here cannot be described as anything other than weaponization,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said - Ruling from the bench dismissed the criminal complaint against former senior FBI officials Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides - Called the charges rushed, overtly political and dogged by “critical mistakes.” - DOJ alleged Floris and Benavides lied to Congress about their knowledge of the Hunter Biden probe before the 2020 presidential election - The dismissal does not permanently bar prosecution - DOJ may still present the case to a grand jury for indictment against Floris and Benavides. - However, Washington D.C. grand juries traditionally lean heavily Democrat NOTE: Internal FBI insta-messages and emails leading up to the 2020 election were at the heart of the government's criminal complaint. In the declassified FBI chat messages, Floris wrote, “I’m basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point.” Both Floris and Benavides held senior positions on the now-disbanded FBI Foreign Influence Task Force, or FITF. Their job was to identify and analyze influence operations by America’s adversaries, often carried out on social media and meant to further divide Americans as well as undermine trust in democratic institutions. In reality, it appears Floris and her colleagues were not investigating whether the online allegations of corruption against the Bidens were true. Instead, members of the Foreign Influence Task Force are accused of suppressing or manipulating the anti-Biden corruption narrative as well as making false statements to Congress. Previously, lawyers for Benavides and Floris have called their clients “patriots” and characterized the charges as a “disgrace.”

… Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides

- Called the charges rushed, overtly political and dogged by “critical mistakes.”

- DOJ alleged Floris and Benavides lied to Congress about their knowledge of the Hunter Biden probe before the 2020 presidential election

- The dismissal does not permanently bar prosecution

- DOJ may still present the case to a grand jury for indictment against Floris and Benavides.

- However, Washington D.C. grand juries traditionally lean heavily Democrat

🚨 Inside the Largest Government Funded Human Trafficking Ring in History: Your tax dollars trafficked over 300,000 children across the United States while NGOs enriched themselves with millions of dollars. One NGO received $895 million to traffic children across the US. Others got $100+ million, and NGOs in areas like Tucson, Arizona pocketed millions but now receive nothing since the border shut down. In this video we break down the contracts, speak with former Border Patrol, and confront the NGOs. It’s a must watch, like it and share it. Make sure no one forgets the hundreds of children lost in the government’s hands.

Flávio Bolsonaro, 1 November 2026

NOTA AO BRASIL Fui procurado por vários veículos nesta semana, inclusive pela Rede Globo, que me convidou para uma entrevista exclusiva. Aceitei com uma condição simples: que fosse exibida na íntegra, sem cortes e sem temas proibidos. A emissora preferiu não seguir adiante. Pelo que tudo indica, o Fantástico deste domingo vai exibir uma longa reportagem a meu respeito, sem me dar o direito de resposta. Se o maior grupo de comunicação do Brasil está com MEDO, não tem a menor condição moral de me julgar ou tentar destruir minha reputação. Não sai do Brasil, sai pelo Brasil! Sonhei com a mudança do nosso país para melhor e, no domingo, apenas sete minutos após o anúncio do resultado das eleições já havia uma decisão judicial com medidas cautelares contra mim, com base em mentiras. Doze horas depois e no meio da rua, fui intimado do início da perseguição, ao deixar a casa do Presidente Bolsonaro. Tudo diante do olhar lacrimejado de um pai, com comorbidades, que está condenado a mais de 27 anos de prisão - sem ter cometido crime algum - e que já sofre pela distância de outro filho que não vê há mais de um ano e meio, em função da perseguição ilegal e arbitrária que também sofre. Isso não é democracia e está muito longe de ser um processo judicial justo e imparcial. Ao menos estou num país onde posso manifestar livremente minha opinião, não serei alvo de um juíz que acordou com vontade de fazer o mal e enviou a sua polícia à minha casa para revirar as calcinhas das minhas filhas na gaveta. Fui candidato à Presidência enfrentando todo um sistema que quer as coisas continuem como estão no Brasil: ótimas para eles, mas muito piores para você. Não me arrependo de absolutamente nada do que fiz e deixo uma reflexão: “Não há remédio eficaz no Brasil para cessar violações a Diretos Humanos.” (Cristiano Zanin, em 7/Ago/2016). Nos próximos dias, vou conversar com grandes veículos nacionais e internacionais. Sem cortes, sem filtro. Quem quiser ouvir, ouvirá o que ninguém mais pode dizer estando no Brasil.

NOTE TO BRAZIL

I was approached by several media outlets this week, including Rede Globo, which invited me for an exclusive interview. I accepted with a simple condition: that it be aired in full, without cuts and without prohibited topics. The network preferred not to proceed. From what everything indicates, Fantástico this Sunday will air a long report about me, without giving me the right to respond. If the largest media group in Brazil is AFRAID, it has no moral standing whatsoever to judge me or try to destroy my reputation.

I didn't leave Brazil, I left through Brazil! I dreamed of changing our country for the better and, on Sunday, just seven minutes after the election results were announced, there was already a court decision with precautionary measures against me, based on lies.

Twelve hours later and in the middle of the street, I was served notice of the start of the persecution, as I left President Bolsonaro's house. All this in front of the tearful gaze of a father with comorbidities, who is sentenced to more than 27 years in prison—without having committed any crime—and who already suffers from the distance of another son he hasn't seen for more than a year and a half, due to the illegal and arbitrary persecution he also endures.

This is not democracy and is far from being a fair and impartial judicial process.

At least I'm in a country where I can freely express my opinion, I won't be targeted by a judge who woke up wanting to do harm and sent his police to my house to rummage through my daughters' panties in the drawer.

I ran for President facing an entire system that wants things to stay as they are in Brazil: great for them, but much worse for you. I regret absolutely nothing I did and leave a reflection: “There is no effective remedy in Brazil to stop violations of Human Rights.” (Cristiano Zanin, on 7/Aug/2016).

In the coming days, I'll be talking with major national and international media outlets. No cuts, no filter. Whoever wants to hear will hear what no one else can say while in Brazil.

The Democracy Files, Part 13

🚨🚨 DEMOCRACY FILES / THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 13: THE NEW FOUNDING 🚨 The "democracy" ecosystem is mostly decentralized. There's competition sometimes (as this drop will show). But when a direction has been set by funders, actors converge towards a common goal. And that goal is: American government must be rewritten from scratch, and soon. RAD, the project of ex-USAID workers we've been tracing in the Democracy Files, represents one plan. PolicyLink represents another plan. What is PolicyLink? Towards the end of UNELECTED, I write about PolicyLink - a highly connected NGO which receives more than $50 million annually in funding. There, I describe its "soul work" - engineering the human soul to create a renewed democracy. That's not an exaggeration; that's how they describe it, in their own words. PolicyLink appears again in the Democracy Files. Here, you can see PolicyLink personnel use the same language we've seen in prior drops: founders, a new founding, redesigning the federal government. PolicyLink has over $100 million in assets and receives its funding from all the usual suspects - Rockefeller, Open Society, Ford, Gates, etc. It has worked closely with Democratic administrations in setting policy. RAD and PolicyLink compete for the same funders and the same space. But they say the same thing: a "new founding," drafted by people no one elected, ready "before the window opens." RAD is perhaps simply more honest about how that window will open.

Oleshky Ceasefire Concludes

THE CEASEFIRE CONCLUDES The mission was a success, delivering critical aid to the region and enabling the evacuation of nearly 800 people. On behalf of America, I commend Russia and Ukraine for their leadership and cooperation surrounding the Oleshky ceasefire. I hope Oleshky serves as a foundation for lasting peace between both nations. The ceasefire began on October 27, 2026, and concluded on November 1, 2026, as planned.

This Is Institutional Rot Dressed Up in a Robe

Shameful indictment on the judiciary in this country. These judges have fallen so far from their pedestals.

— Lara Logan (@laralogan) November 2, 2026

… ballot as Senator Dan Sullivan in a ranked choice state that was already built to confuse people… and your answer is that nobody can do anything about it. That is what Judge Sharon Gleason just did. She threw out the DOJ lawsuit to set aside the ballots cast for the decoy Dan so the fraud could actually be investigated, and she did it for three reasons that should make every voter in this country sick. The federal government lacks standing. Separating those ballots would violate ballot secrecy. And it is too late to change anything this close to Election Day.

Let me explain what that means in plain English.

Democrats Are Dismantling the Rule of Law to Patch Over the Very Policing Crisis Their Own Soft-on-Crime Policies Created

The entire Democrat agenda is humiliating, subjugating and dispossessing Americans.

— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) November 1, 2026

… residents and DACA recipients with federal work and firearm authorization to apply to local law enforcement agencies.

This radical overreach by the Illinois Left is a direct assault on American sovereignty and a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens. By handing badge, gun, and arresting authority over Americans to non-citizens, Democrats are dismantling the rule of law to patch over the very policing crisis their own soft-on-crime policies created.
