Trump advanced in US counties with Brazilians eligible to vote
Donald Trump made significant gains in US counties with Brazilian voters, increasing his support from 9 to 23 counties compared to the 2020 elections. Despite the majority of these counties maintaining Democratic support, Trump's performance highlights a shift in voting patterns, particularly in southern states and the pivotal Maricopa County in Arizona. Kamala Harris's performance was notably weaker than previous Democratic candidates, with a reduced margin of victory compared to Joe Biden's 2020 results. The analysis is based on data from the American Community Survey and electoral results from the Associated Press.
Tree pruning requests rise in the center, but fall in other areas of São Paulo
Following a recent storm, tree pruning requests have surged in central São Paulo, while declining in other areas. The central districts, including Bom Retiro and Santa Cecília, saw significant increases in requests, attributed to previous high demand. The city's administration, led by Mayor Ricardo Nunes, claims a high response rate to these requests, though the methodology of the report is disputed. The administration also blames Enel for power outages due to insufficient tree pruning. Enel counters that most requests are being addressed within the stipulated timeframe.
São Paulo has the largest queue for tree pruning since 2017
São Paulo faces its largest backlog of tree pruning requests since 2017, with 7,500 pending requests as of the third quarter of 2024. The city's administration, led by Mayor Ricardo Nunes, claims a high response rate to these requests, but the methodology used by Folha suggests otherwise. The backlog has led to concerns about power outages caused by falling branches during storms. Environmental experts warn that improper pruning could harm the city's green cover and increase risks of tree falls. The city has a partnership with Enel for tree management, but execution rates are disputed. The situation highlights the need for a comprehensive tree inventory to manage urban greenery effectively.
Boulos attacks Nunes, absent from the debate, 39 times, and does not spare Tarcísio
Guilherme Boulos, a candidate from PSOL, criticized the absence of Ricardo Nunes, the current mayor of São Paulo, in a debate, attacking him 39 times and also targeting his ally, Governor Tarcísio de Freitas. Boulos emphasized issues like the energy crisis in São Paulo and proposed policies on entrepreneurship, women's rights, and healthcare. He also expressed support for restricting cell phones in schools and incorporating proposals from Tabata Amaral. The debate was analyzed and categorized into various themes by Folha's tool.
Boulos attacks more than Nunes, and blackout monopolizes debate, shows Folha's tool
In the first debate of the second round for São Paulo's mayoral race, candidates Guilherme Boulos (PSOL) and Ricardo Nunes (MDB) focused heavily on the recent blackout caused by a storm, with Boulos linking Nunes to the energy distributor Enel, while Nunes blamed climate change and the federal government. The debate, organized by Grupo Bandeirantes, saw Boulos making more direct attacks than Nunes. Other topics included corruption and security, with less emphasis on education and the cracolândia issue. Folha de S.Paulo's tool analyzed the debate, categorizing discussions into various themes.
Councilors for Nunes' coalition were the most voted in 47 of 57 zones of SP
In São Paulo's local elections, candidates from the coalition supporting Mayor Ricardo Nunes dominated, winning in 47 out of 57 electoral zones. Despite Guilherme Boulos leading in mayoral votes in some areas, Nunes' coalition maintained strong support. Notably, Cris Monteiro from Novo won in two zones where Nunes was favored. Traditional political strongholds, like those of Milton Leite, saw successful vote transfers to his supported candidates. Left-wing parties, including PT and PSOL, lost ground compared to 2020, securing only five zones. The article highlights the shifting political landscape and the influence of local political figures.
Brazil's Largest Quilombola City Faces Electoral Marginalization of Its Communities
In Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia, the largest quilombola city in Brazil, the quilombola communities face significant electoral marginalization.

How is the air quality in Brazil today? See the situation in the capitals
The air quality in Brazil's capitals is monitored by the Air Quality Monitor, which updates data three times daily. São Paulo recently ranked as having the worst air quality globally due to drought and increased fires. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is used to assess air quality, with higher numbers indicating poorer conditions. Porto Velho frequently records the worst air quality among Brazilian capitals. Data is sourced from the Swiss company IQAir, which collaborates with public agencies and the United Nations Environment Programme to provide global air quality estimates.
