Reuters: Brazil's biggest party quits ruling coalition, Rousseff isolated

Brazil's largest party announced on Tuesday it was leaving President Dilma Rousseff's governing coalition and pulling its members from her government, a departure that sharply raises the odds she could be impeached in a matter of months.
