                        Earlier this month, state Democrats rallied supporters at our first-ever Down Ballot Defenders Summit:
                        Speaker McClinton (PA): 'We're going to keep fighting. We're going to keep delivering, and with your partnership, we will certainly win.'
                        Leader Reives (NC): 'We have got to work on keeping and taking care of our state legislatures.'
                        Leader Brinks (MI): 'We will not let them run away from the negative policies that are so deeply unpopular.'
                        Delegate Feggans (VA): 'We’re rejecting the chaos and confusion that’s coming down from Washington D.C.'

Did you hear what’s happening in Georgia on August 26th?

Polls will close in a special election for a seat in Georgia’s state Senate – and Democrat Debra Shigley will be in a unique position to FLIP the long-standing Republican stronghold.

As the sole Democrat running in a crowded seven-candidate field, she could join the list of red-to-blue flips secured this year in states like Iowa and Pennsylvania.

In GOP-held districts like this all over the country, change won’t be easy – but with the support of this grassroots team, we can unite to power Democrats to victory, even when the odds are against us. We’ve done it before, and together, we can do it again.

An overperformance on Election Day starts with an overperformance in fundraising in the weeks and months before polls close. Every donor, every dollar, and every voter makes a difference. Can you donate $7 to the DLCC to help fund our efforts to build Democratic power nationwide?

It’s not about one race for one seat. Winning in state legislative elections would show Donald Trump and his MAGA allies that the GOP’s extreme agenda isn’t aligned with the will of the voters.

When our democracy is being tested, we resist by supporting pro-democracy candidates in free and fair elections.

Will you take a stand against MAGA extremism by chipping in $7 to help give our state Dems the necessary resources and tools to secure victory nationwide?

Let’s get to work.

Hey Sula, 

Our eyes are on Texas for many reasons. 

For one, Texas’s special legislative session started on July 21st, and a new partisan gerrymander — even more egregious than the one already on the books in the Lone Star State — is on the agenda. 

Remember this?:

“White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains”
— June 9, 2025

White House officials have pushed for Texas legislators to pursue a “ruthless” gerrymander of its congressional map. That’s on top of the fact that Texas’s congressional map is already being sued for violating the Voting Rights Act. 

Redrawing a map mid-decade in an effort to be unaccountable to the voters sets a dangerous precedent, one that bypasses the traditional redistricting process tied to new census data.

Any president, political party, or elected official blatantly pushing to manipulate voting districts in pursuit of artificial power stands in direct conflict with American democratic values. 

That’s why All On The Line is on a mission to end gerrymandering — because it silences the will of the people. We deserve accountable, responsive elected leaders. It’s time to end map manipulation and finally have fair districts. Donate to fuel this work.

 

Sula, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has succumbed to pressure from the White House by adding redistricting to the agenda, and officials may very well follow suit by voting to pass it. Because no matter the cost to voters, maintaining power is the priority for far-right extremists. And for that very reason, we need to be on high alert and ready to mobilize fair maps supporters in this fight.

If far-right Texas officials redraw the congressional map, it will further dilute the voting power of marginalized communities.;

All On The Line is prepared to fight back in Texas and across the country. Will you make a contribution to fuel our efforts in fighting against ideological extremists that manipulate fair and accurate representation?

Thanks,

All On The Line

Brazil’s Bolsonaro Ordered To Wear Ankle Monitor Ahead Of Trial

 

 

The ongoing feud between the U.S. and Brazil escalated on Friday after Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro—an ally of Donald Trump—to wear an electronic ankle monitor, citing him as a flight risk.

The court says Bolsonaro sought interference from the U.S. president to undermine the Brazilian judiciary—allegations that come amid growing tensions between the two countries.

Police raided Bolsonaro’s home and party headquarters early Friday morning, fitting the far-right leader with the tracking device. The court also imposed a nighttime and weekend curfew and barred him from contacting foreign diplomats, visiting embassies, or using social media.

Alô Comunidade! A seguir há uma informação muito importante para vocês.

 

 

Infelizmente existem em nossa comunidade pessoas que podem ser taxadas de “gente do mal”, que têm inveja do sucesso de outras pessoas e/ou de eventos de sucesso da comunidade.

Os Estados Unidos inteiro, o resto do mundo e onde existe uma comunidade brasileira e pessoas amantes do nosso Brasil, sabem muito bem que O EVENTO OFICIAL DO BRAZILIAN DAY POR 36 ANOS sempre foi feito na Little Brazil, West 46th Street, onde todos os anos se reúnem mais de 1.5 milhão pessoas e que, em 2019, chegamos ao recorde de ter mais de 2 milhões de pessoas reunidas para ver e ouvir o melhor da música brasileira.

O nome “Brazilian Day” não pode ser patenteado, mas “Brazilian Day in New York” sim, e este é 100 % patenteado.

Um “brasileiro”, que eu não sei quem é, nem onde tem seu escritório, está fazendo, segundo ele, o Brazilian Day Official.

Governo Trump divulga acervo de arquivos sobre o assassinato de Martin Luther King Jr.

 

 

O Arquivo Nacional publicou milhares de documentos recém-digitalizados relacionados ao assassinato do Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. em 1968, como parte de uma diretriz do Presidente Trump.

A divulgação na segunda-feira dá continuidade a uma ordem executiva assinada por Trump dias após o início de seu segundo mandato, exigindo a divulgação e a desclassificação de registros relacionados ao assassinato de King e aos assassinatos dos presidentes John F. Kennedy e Robert Kennedy — tragédias que têm sido alvo de curiosidade e teorias da conspiração por décadas.

Não ficou imediatamente claro quais novos insights históricos seriam encontrados no acervo de documentos. O Escritório do Diretor de Inteligência Nacional afirmou em um comunicado na segunda-feira (21) que a divulgação incluía mais de 230.000 arquivos relacionados ao assassinato de King, incluindo informações relacionadas ao homem que foi condenado por assassiná-lo, James Earl Ray.

Coca-Cola Says It Will Use U.S. Cane Sugar In A New Coke, a Plan Pushed By Trump

 

 

Coke drinkers who want to avoid corn syrup sometimes opt for Mexican Coke, which is made with cane sugar. But the drink’s U.S. fans will have a new option later this year.

“We’re going to be bringing a Coke sweetened with U.S. cane sugar into the market this fall,” Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO James Quincey said on a conference call with analysts Tuesday.

The company announced the change in the quarterly earnings report it released Tuesday, describing the new drink as an expansion of its product line. Quincey said the new offering would “complement” Coca-Cola’s core portfolio of drinks, suggesting it could arrive as an alternative, rather than a replacement, for its flagship Coke product.

Coca-Cola’s move comes a week after the White House issued a statement by President Trump saying he had been talking to the soft drink giant about using cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup in its signature drink.

Moraes determina bloqueio de bens e contas de Eduardo Bolsonaro

 

.

Parlamentar que está nos EUA não poderá fazer transações financeiras.

O ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), determinou nesta segunda-feira (21) o bloqueio das contas bancárias e dos bens do deputado federal Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP).

Com a medida, o parlamentar está impedido de fazer transações financeiras, inclusive receber doações em dinheiro, via Pix, realizadas pelo ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, seu pai, para bancar a estadia nos Estados Unidos.

Segundo o próprio Bolsonaro, cerca de R$ 2 milhões já foram enviados para Eduardo.

Em março deste ano, o deputado pediu licença do mandato parlamentar e foi morar nos Estados Unidos, sob a alegação de perseguição política. A licença terminou no domingo (20). O parlamentar já disse que não vai renunciar.

Special Election Alert

Next month, a critical and competitive seat in the Iowa State Senate is up for grabs, and the DLCC is determined to flip this seat. Why?

Democrats are just one seat away from breaking Republicans’ veto-proof supermajority in the Iowa Senate, putting a much-needed check on GOP power. But this race is a TOSS-UP, so it’s imperative that Democrats build an unstoppable movement and reach every voter we can.

A generous group of donors is triple-matching every donation to the DLCC ahead of our July 31st deadline. Can you pitch in $7 to help win competitive seats in states like Iowa across the country?

DONATE

State legislators provide our party with the kind of bold, optimistic leadership that Americans desperately need. We’re building a bench of incredible Democratic leaders in our statehouses who are committed to fighting the Trump agenda.

That’s the work we do day in and day out at the DLCC. Our data-driven strategy and early investments helped break the Republican supermajority in North Carolina last year despite the GOP’s rigged maps. Democrats are ready to do the same in Iowa next month.

Quick, before our deadline: make a 3X-matched donation to help FLIP seats blue in upcoming elections in states like Iowa nationwide.

Given the chaos in Washington, state legislatures are more critical than ever. After Democrats notched two incredible victories in deep-red state legislative districts in Pennsylvania and Iowa earlier this year, we’re turning our attention to Georgia.

On August 26th, voters in Georgia will go to the polls in a special election to fill an open seat that Democrats are hoping to flip. A victory in this deep-red district would deal a devastating blow to Trump and slow down his Project 2025 agenda.

When you make a donation, you’re powering our mission to defeat MAGA Republicans in states like Georgia nationwide. Can you chip in a triple-matched donation of $7} ahead of our July fundraising deadline?

There are no ‘off-years’ for the DLCC. We’re aggressively pursuing every opportunity to build a strong Democratic firewall to put an end to the terror inflicted by Trump and his far-right allies.

That’s why next month’s special election in Georgia is so important. Democrats have a phenomenal candidate in Debra Shigley – a small business owner and mother of five who is deeply embedded in her community. Debra has what it takes to stand up against GOP extremism.

Alongside Democrats nationwide, Debra is running to increase public school funding, expand access to affordable health care, and lower the cost of living for working families. We’re determined to help elect candidates just like her across the country, but we need your support.

Before it’s too late, can you chip in $7 (becomes $21!) to help reach our end-of-month goal and FLIP seats blue in places like Georgia nationwide? Every dollar truly makes a difference.

Thank you,

Team DLCC

We need every good Democrat reading this to listen to President Obama and join our movement to build Black political power!

You have great candidates running races right now. Support those candidates.

The 2026 midterms might seem far away, but we need to lay the groundwork now so we have the resources to take on Trump’s MAGA billionaire donors.
