Photo credit : Brazilian court orders Meta to prove Lula and Bolsonaro get equal treatment

Brazil’s top electoral court has doubled a daily fine for the United States-based social media company Meta, saying it failed to comply with an order about how political content is shown on its platforms. On Monday, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) gave Meta 24 hours to show that it is not favouring one presidential candidate over the other in its content feeds.

The penalty for noncompliance was also increased in the order, from 500,000 Brazilian reals ($100,000) to one million reals ($200,000).

Trump backs Netanyahu: Is the US planning a new Iran attack with Israel? - Al Jazeera

United States President Donald Trump has announced his official endorsement of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s election campaign after previously refusing to endorse anyone. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday that Netanyahu had been a “great warrior prime minister and an even greater partner for peace”, adding that Iran had been “systematically destroyed both militarily and financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job.”Recommended Stories list of 3 itemslist 1 of 3US President Donald Trump endorses Netanyahu for Israeli electionlist 2 of 3The kingmakers who could determine Israel’s electionlist 3 of 3Israeli police arrest 10 after settler attacks on journalist, diplomatsend of list“If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so,” Trump wrote. “Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself.

Trump and Melania’s awkward speech on women’s health — and the comical hypocrisy behind it - The Independent

“Now is the time,” said Melania Trump, as she took to the podium on Monday morning. “This is the time.” Clearly, now and this is a time. But a time for what? “Beginning today,” Mrs. Trump said, “we will change the reality of women’s health.”It’s a bold claim, but the first lady is really underselling her husband’s efforts here. Because actually, Donald Trump started changing the reality of women’s health years ago. And the so-bad-it’s-darkly-funny detail buried within today’s supposedly “historic” executive order makes the whole thing even more absurd. In the Rose Garden Monday morning, Melania read out an oddly worded, buzzword-heavy speech about how “social norms are changing and topics that were once taboo are becoming open” (no specifics offered), about how we now have a “unique chance to reinvent women’s healthcare” (again, no specifics discussed), and how “we are women, we are resilient” and we are “deserving of lives defined not by the burdens we carry” (OK then!) Probably the most famous time the first lady went to visit a bunch of women and children was when she wore a jacket emblazoned with the words “I really don’t care, do u?” to an immigration detention center.

Obama says Trump administration probe of congresswoman Ilhan Omar is 'so appalling' - BBC

Barack Obama has said congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under federal criminal investigation simply because she's an outspoken critic of the President Donald Trump. "The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president," the former US president wrote on X, calling the probe "so appalling". The White House defended the inquiry, saying the justice department was "focused on restoring law and order". Last week, homeland security agents searched the Minnesota Democrat's Washington DC home as part of an investigation into her immigration status. Born in Somalia, Omar moved to the US with her family as a child. US media outlets have reported that the probe is tied to her American citizenship and whether she lied about her age when she arrived in the US in 1995. Questions have been raised about whether the age listed on Omar's citizenship application differed from her actual birth date. Obama said in his X post on Sunday that her father became a naturalised citizen when she was 17, and not yet legally an adult, which then gave her citizenship.
