TROOP SUPPORT MATCHING GIFT* ACTIVE NOW

Rush $29 or more now to DOUBLE the value of your gift to help the USO support service members during this government shutdown and year-round.**

USO Supporter,

Even as the government shutdown continues, America’s service members remain on duty — standing guard, deploying when called and serving wherever they’re needed most, protecting our freedom at home and around the world. But moments like these bring added stress and uncertainty for military families already managing the daily challenges of service — frequent moves, deployments and long separations from loved ones.

That’s why the USO is hard at work, keeping our centers open and ready to provide support — on bases, at airports and in remote locations around the world — and strengthen the well-being of our service members and keep them connected to home. Whether it’s a warm meal, a video call that bridges thousands of miles or a quiet moment of respite, your generosity helps make that possible.

Right now, your gift will go twice as far to sustain these vital programs for our service members and their families. That’s because a generous group of donors is matching all gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 — but only for a limited time. Will you rush $29 or more to have the value of your gift doubled for service members when they need it most?

The USO proudly goes wherever our service members go — even when they’re deployed at a moment’s notice. But the USO is a nonprofit, not a part of the federal government — the services we provide are only possible with the generosity of caring citizens like you. So please, don’t wait: Will you rush $29 or more to have every dollar MATCHED to help support our heroes?

Thank you for being there for our service members at this moment and into the future.

For the People Who Serve,

Tabitha Glenn
VP, USO


Israel, Hamas Reach A Ceasefire, With Hostages And Prisoners To Be Freed Within Days

 

 

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the “first phase” of a ceasefire deal intended to end the devastating Gaza war that unleashed the deadliest fighting ever between Israelis and Palestinians.

After two years of bloodshed, large majorities in Israel and the Palestinian territories welcome the end to the brutal conflict. Some people stayed up late into the night awaiting the ceasefire announcement, which came at around 2 a.m. Others woke to the news on a rainy morning. The agreement prompted relief, hope, joy and celebrations on both sides after two years of agony.

Yet for some, the pain of the war is still raw.

A man in Gaza, Abu Ahmed Eid, told NPR, “What exactly should I be happy for with all the blood that’s been shed and all these martyrs?”

Trump defende a prisão de rivais políticos democratas do estado de Illinois

 

 

Enquanto isso, tropas federais se preparam para atuar em Chicago.

O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, pediu a prisão do prefeito de Chicago e do governador de Illinois, ambos democratas, enquanto seu governo se prepara para enviar tropas militares para as ruas da terceira maior cidade dos EUA.

O apelo de Trump para prender dois oponentes proeminentes de sua repressão à imigração ocorre no momento em que outro rival político de alto nível, o ex-diretor do FBI James Comey, deve comparecer ao tribunal para enfrentar acusações criminais que foram amplamente criticadas como frágeis.

Em sua plataforma de mídia social, Trump acusou o prefeito de Chicago, Brandon Johnson, e o governador de Illinois, JB Pritzker, de não protegerem os agentes de imigração que atuam em Chicago.

Usina de Itaipu termina montagem de “ilha solar” que vai gerar energia

 

  

Projeto-piloto ancorou 1,5 mil placas fotovoltaicas no Rio Paraná.

A usina hidrelétrica de Itaipu, na fronteira entre o Brasil e Paraguai, terminou a primeira fase de montagem do projeto piloto de uma ilha solar flutuante, que vai gerar energia limpa para uso interno da instalação.

O empreendimento consiste na montagem e ancoragem de 1.568 painéis fotovoltaicos no leito do reservatório do Rio Paraná, que fornece a água que faz girar as 20 turbinas de Itaipu e gerar energia elétrica. A primeira fase terminou em 26 de setembro e foi informada pela empresa na sexta-feira (3).

A ilha solar ocupa uma área de 7,6 mil metros quadrados (m²), o equivalente a quase um campo de futebol. O próximo passo do projeto piloto são, nas próximas duas semanas, a instalação dos últimos equipamentos e a conexão de cabos de energia e comunicação, para, em seguida, iniciar testes frios (sem geração de energia) e quente (com energização).

BREAKING FROM CNN: Letitia James, the New York attorney general who defeated Trump in court, indicted by Justice Department

Trump is on a mission to prosecute his political enemies in court. Now his Justice Department is targeting NY Attorney General Letitia James.

This is absurd!!! Republicans are going after Letitia James because she’s not afraid to hold Trump accountable for his crimes. We need to let Letitia James know that we have her back.

Emergency petition signatures needed: Sign your name to stand with Letitia James in the face of Republican attacks >>

Letitia James
ADD YOUR NAME >>

Letitia James has been steadfast in her pursuit of justice.

She’s fearlessly taken on Trump’s corruption, protected our rights, and fought for fairness. She SUED the Trump Organization and BEAT HIM in court.

But now, Trump and his MAGA allies are smearing her reputation! They’re attacking Black leaders who aren’t afraid to hold Trump accountable!

Letitia James needs to know we’re standing with her. Sign the petition to stand with Letitia James in the face of Republican attacks >>

Thanks for signing,

There are over 30 special elections happening before the end of the year. With Trump and his state-side allies cutting Medicaid, attacking public education, and raising everyday costs for you and your family, Democrats need to win as many races as possible to protect our rights and combat the right-wing oligarchy taking shape in our country.

14 states are holding elections that require our immediate attention. The MAGA movement is pouring millions of dollars into our Republican counterparts' campaigns, and the only way Democrats can keep up with them is if we have the resources to compete.

$7 from you is all we’re asking for to help fund state Democrats in our fight to secure VICTORY in upcoming elections in states like Georgia and Minnesota around the country.

Can we count on you to chip in $7 to help state Dems defeat extreme Republicans in the states?

Good morning! We know it’s early, but we wanted to catch you while you sip your morning coffee…

We have nearly 200 elections over the next few months.

And just like you may need a morning caffeine boost, state Democrats need critical resources to compete and win against MAGA extremists in elections across the country next month, in 2026, and beyond.

For the price of just one morning coffee – $5 – you can make a genuine difference in state legislative elections and help our party compete against right-wing attacks. Will you donate to the DLCC today?

If everyone reading this email chipped in $5, we’d close our budget shortfall and have enough fuel to compete with the millions of dollars that MAGA extremists are spending in state races.

$5 is all we’re asking for today. Ahead of upcoming consequential elections nationwide, will you chip in to power the fight for Democratic power in the states?

Have a great rest of your day,

Team DLCC
