RDT Lady Gaga stated that she participated in the March for Democracy in São Paulo, alongside fans of artists from all over Brazil, including Little Monsters, BeyHive, Swifties, ARMYs, Anitters, and KatyCats. According to the page, the groups organized to call fans to action, encourage people who did not vote in the first round to participate, and promote conversations about proposals, public policies, and social rights. The page said that President Lula thanked the fandoms for their mobilization and support during a speech on Avenida Paulista. It also reported having participated in a conversation and recording with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin at DiaTV, through Mídia NINJA, with representation from producer Guifa. RDT stated that its political stance was that of the team managing the page for over 15 years, and not of Lady Gaga. It said it respects differing opinions among Little Monsters and does not delete respectful comments. The page added that it could not speak for the singer nor say who she would vote for in a Brazilian election, but it associated her trajectory with the defense of the LGBTQIA+ community, women, equality, freedom, combating prejudice, and political participation. #Democracia #FandomsUnidos #VotoConsciente (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

Felipe Moura Brasil shared the transcription of a reporter from Veja who defended a report amid the reactions to the publication of a recording. The journalist stated that, in addition to the audio, the article was based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone before he formalized a plea deal proposal. According to the reporter, Vorcaro had already presented a third proposal to the PGR, but the agency did not want to listen to him. In the transcription, the reporter claimed that messages from 2024 and 2025 indicated that Vorcaro had intermediaries at the Palácio do Planalto who were working with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Petrobras, and Correios. He asserted that the objective was to raise 10 billion reais from these funds, with 1 billion reais earmarked for bribes to the PT, as part of an agreement to save Banco Master. He also said that an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha sought fund executives and that meetings had been organized to facilitate the bank's operations. The reporter further stated that, in May 2024, Banco Master entered the so-called "exhaustive list," which, according to him, allowed the funds to invest in the institution. At the same time, he said, the bank was negotiating credit letters worth 500 million reais with Caixa Econômica. According to the journalist, the operation did not progress after the newspaper O Globo reported, in July 2024, that two managers from Caixa had been removed for issuing a negative opinion. He added that Vorcaro had reported, in a plea deal proposal to which the report had access, that Padilha and other PT members backed down after the case was disclosed. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Flamengo stated that the officiating by Anderson Daronco and the VAR official, Rodolpho Toski Marques, had serious errors and inconsistent criteria in the match against Santos. The club said that Barreal should have been sent off for a tackle on Carrascal but only received a yellow card. Flamengo also challenged the penalty decision and the expulsion of Jorginho after a handball. According to the club, the incident caused a stoppage of 9 minutes and 56 seconds, a record interruption in a VAR review in the history of the Brasileirão. The team stated that the decision left them a player short and removed Jorginho from the next match. A few minutes later, according to Flamengo, another penalty was awarded to Santos after a foul that should not have occurred, resulting in the second goal for the São Paulo team from the penalty kick. The club also mentioned the numbers of the championship: in 29 matches, they had received seven red cards, the second-highest total in the competition, despite being in 17th place in the foul ranking and leading in average ball-in-play time. Flamengo claimed to be one of the three teams that committed the fewest fouls yet still the second most expelled. The statement also noted that Daronco and Toski were scheduled for the classic between Palmeiras and Corinthians on Sunday and requested that the rules be applied with rigor and impartiality. The club added that they were among the five finalists for the Best Men's Club of the Year award at the Ballon d'Or and stated that officiating errors harmed the results and the image of Brazilian football. #Arbitragem #Futebol #Brasileirão (translated)
