Um manifesto lançado na noite desta quinta-feira (8), na capital paulista, comemorou a vitória da democracia contra a tentativa de golpe ocorrida em 8 de janeiro de 2023.

STF condenou 1.399 pessoas por atos golpistas; 179 estão presas. 8/1: julgamento dos atos golpistas foi marco histórico para o país. “Três anos após frustrada tentativa de golpe de Estado e do plano de assassinato de um presidente da República eleito, seu vice e de um ministro da Suprema Corte, o dia 8 de janeiro é a data nacional de celebração da vitória da democracia, pois a memória é fundamental para que novos atos desse tipo não sejam tolerados”, diz o texto.

O documento recebeu apoio de movimentos sociais, partidos políticos e advogados.  “Pela primeira vez em nossa história, nós, brasileiras e brasileiros, pudemos presenciar, após um julgamento justo e legalmente realizado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, a prisão pelos crimes de atentado ao Estado Democrático de Direito e tentativa de golpe de Estado de todos aqueles que colaboraram, executaram e organizaram as tentativas frustradas de ruptura institucional”, continua o texto. O documento ainda faz referência à atual conjuntura internacional, marcada pelas agressões dos Estados Unidos contra a Venezuela. “O dia de hoje marca primeiramente uma festa cívica e histórica em defesa da democracia. Deve, porém, ser também uma data na qual todos nós, brasileiras e brasileiros, redobramos as atenções diante de toda e qualquer ameaça interna ou externa ao estado democrático de direito brasileiro e à nossa soberania nacional”.  Antes da leitura do documento, opositores aos partidos de esquerda que organizaram o ato causaram um tumulto em uma das entradas do Salão Nobre, onde o evento foi realizado. Eles foram retirados do recinto aos gritos de “recua, fascista, recua”.

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Education has introduced the Returning Education to the States Waiver, granting states greater flexibility in using federal funding. Iowa is the first state to receive approval for the waiver. The department claims that the waiver is flexible and will reduce compliance costs, allowing almost $8 million to be redirected from bureaucratic red tape to the classroom over four years. Iowa is the first state in the nation to receive federal approval to redirect federal resources from compliance to the classroom in its innovative Unified Allocation Plan. State funds from several Elementary and Secondary Education Act programs are combined into a single block grant of about $3.8 million for 2024 and 2025, allowing the state to support statewide professional learning, including literacy and instruction for English learners, at no cost to schools. State education leaders plan to use the redirected funds to expand support for literacy training, strengthen their teacher pipeline and narrow achievement gaps. This will allow Iowa’s reporting requirement to reduce administrative work and provide flexibility that supports innovative solutions that focus on classroom instruction for students while ensuring transparency and accountability. “We are grateful to each of the administrators, teachers, and Iowans whose experience and expertise shaped Iowa’s innovative Unified Allocation Plan, which reflects our collective focus on accountability for student outcomes,” Iowa Department of Education Director McKenzie Snow said. “Alongside them and the U.S. Department of Education, we look forward to continuing our work to refocus federal resources on their true purpose–the success of all learners.” The Department of Education confirmed in an email to The Center Square that it is currently working with six other states on waiver requests. Since the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress results, the administration has taken strides to improve student outcomes in math and reading scores. The waiver is part of the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and shift greater control to the states. “Granting Iowa’s waiver illustrates the Trump Administration’s commitment to returning education to the states by empowering state leaders, who know their students far better than bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., to have more discretion over federal education dollars,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.

(The Center Square) – In California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s final State of the State address Thursday, the potential presidential candidate positioned himself as an alternative to what he described as “purposeful chaos” in Washington, D.C. “In Washington, the president believes that might makes right, that democracy is a nuisance to be circumvented.” the San Francisco native said before a joint session of the Legislature in Sacramento. “Purposeful chaos is emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.” Newsom’s State of the State address follows a November interview with CBS Sunday Morning in which he said he would consider a presidential run after the 2026 midterm elections in November. However, some believe the governor's speech at the Capitol was meant to position him to campaign. “I think it was more of a campaign speech than a State of the State speech,” Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Huntington Beach, told The Center Square. “He wants to launch his campaign for president, and he doesn’t have a great record, so he’s trying to put lipstick on that pig.” Among the issues Newsom addressed in his speech were the 52 lawsuits filed against the federal government by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the state’s economy, artificial intelligence, education, labor, law enforcement, firefighters and the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025. But he also addressed concerns about the state’s tax policy. “We built one of the most progressive tax systems in the nation,” Newsom said during the speech. “One that asks high-income residents to pay a little bit more without punishing those who are making a little bit less.” He also addressed California’s budgetary challenges starting this year, which the Legislative Analyst’s Office projected in November would result in an $18 billion shortfall for the 2026-27 fiscal year. The deficit is caused by obligations to pay for school and community college funding mandated by Proposition 98, which California voters passed in 1988, and debt and reserve deposit requirements, according to previous reporting by The Center Square. The state’s budget woes are expected despite $11 billion in revenue gain made in the last year, according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office report. The governor’s proposed budget will be announced in a press conference Friday in Sacramento. “[We are] mindful, as we should be, of the nature of our state budget and the longterm structural challenges,” Newsom told legislators during his speech. “We’re going to rebuild our reserves, $7.3 billion, pay down our longterm pensions, and of those obligations, over $11.8 billion will be met in the next few years, including $3 billion just in next year’s budget.” A Democratic legislator who spoke to The Center Square on Thursday said Newsom’s speech illustrated that California is still a strong, resilient state with a competitive economy. “Overall, I was pleased he was able to dispel some of the myths people have been putting out about California,” Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom, D-Stockton, said at the Capitol. “He did a good job of reminding us that California is strong and California is resilient, and people are not flocking to leave California. There are still people coming here, we’re still innovative, and I thought he did a good job of showing the strength of California and why we are still one of the largest economies.” But Ransom said she was surprised Newsom didn't address the fentanyl crisis. According to CalMatters, it killed 5,942 people between September 2021 and September 2022 alone. Republican reactions to Newsom’s speech included concerns that he was taking credit for actions he didn’t take and that he was reusing a speech he gave more than a decade ago. “I believe Gov. Newsom was gaslighting the legislature,” Assemblymember David Tangipa, R-Fresno, told The Center Square. “There was nothing we heard today that really showed how California is actually leading the nation other than monumental failures. The only areas that actually have been doing better are not because of the governor’s policies.”
