When Donald Trump was elected in 2016, the world’s populists cheered and quickly gained legitimacy from their common craziness. But even Trump’s closest allies couldn’t hold back on the horror at the Capitol on Wednesday as Trump’s power ebbed away.

Brazil’s three main syringe manufacturers met with Bolsonaro on Tuesday and agreed that each would supply 10 million syringes, along with needles to cover the initial stages of the country’s planned vaccinations.
