ATTENTION: The RSLC launched a six-figure attack ad in Virginia, targeting four Democratic incumbents in our most competitive districts. This new ad buy is our Republican counterparts’ second major investment in Virginia. They are using all their resources to flip the VA House this November. But we know the truth: If Republicans gain power in Virginia, they will stop at nothing to attack abortion rights, limit voting access, and loosen gun laws – pushing Trump’s Project 2025 through the legislature. So we must fight back. We’re counting on grassroots donations to power our candidates across the finish line and give state Dems the resources they need to go toe-to-toe with extreme MAGA Republicans. Can we count on you to rush $3 to win competitive races in states like Virginia and beyond?

Habemus papam. With this phrase, the North American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was introduced to the world this Thursday (8) as the 267th pope of the Church, directly from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican. The name chosen by the new pontiff is Leo XIV. He succeeds Francis, who died on April 21. The announcement by Robert Francis Prevost took place just over an hour after white smoke emerged, early in the afternoon of this Thursday the 8th, from the chimney installed over the Sistine Chapel, signaling that the 133 cardinals gathered had reached a consensus. The election of the new pope took place after the third vote of the day and the fourth general vote, which began on Wednesday, the 7th. The white smoke sent the crowd gathered in St. Peter’s Square into ecstasy.

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.

On the night that pop music met the sea, Lady Gaga transformed Copacabana Beach into a spectacle. After 12 years of waiting, Brazilians finally received the news that Lady Gaga, also known as Mother Monster, would be returning to Brazil. Expectations were not only met, but exceeded! What could have been just another show (like Madonna’s also in Copacabana), became a cultural landmark and an unforgettable moment for those who were there. Why did she take so long to come back to Brazil?  Click here to read more Jair Bolsonaro teve alta após três semanas internado em Brasília     Após três semanas internado no Hospital DF Star, em Brasília, o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro recebeu alta médica na manhã deste domingo (4).
