Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

Lula da Silva wins Brazil's presidential runoff against Flávio Bolsonaro

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil's presidential runoff with 51.8% to Flávio Bolsonaro's 48.2%, securing a fourth term. A two-hour voting extension granted by Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin drew criticism, and Bolsonaro called it unacceptable and sought to have the result annulled. Supporters celebrated in the streets, and world leaders offered congratulations.
