O consórcio que administra o Maracanã, no Rio de Janeiro (RJ), formado por Flamengo e Fluminense, informou nesta quinta-feira (22) prejuízo de mais de R$ 300 mil. Os danos foram registrados após a partida do Vasco contra o Boca Juniors no estádio, na última terça (20), e revelados antes do jogo do Flamengo pela Libertadores.
O confronto entre Vasco e Boca, válido pela semifinal da Sul-Americana, ocorreu após um longo debate entre o Cruzmaltino e a dupla Fla-Flu sobre a utilização do estádio. O consórcio relatou que inúmeros prejuízos foram identificados desde então, impactando a estrutura do local.
Em comunicado, o consórcio detalhou que a vistoria de dois dias identificou 489 cadeiras danificadas, sendo 47 no setor visitante. Além disso, foram contabilizados oito vasos sanitários, dois bebedouros, duas torneiras, duas descargas, duas saboneteiras e oito corrimãos avariados. O prejuízo financeiro apurado já supera R$ 300.000,00.
A nota da administração do Maracanã também mencionou danos à sinalização e à pintura do estádio, causados pela colagem de adesivos por torcedores vascaínos. O levantamento desse prejuízo específico ainda está em andamento, segundo o consórcio.
O consórcio Fla-Flu afirmou que adotará todas as medidas necessárias para garantir o ressarcimento integral dos prejuízos decorrentes dos danos causados ao Maracanã.
A administração do estádio ressaltou que, apesar de todos os esforços e medidas para reparar os danos e assegurar as melhores condições operacionais, o curto intervalo entre a partida do Vasco e o jogo do Flamengo impediu a conclusão total dos reparos.
O comunicado explicitou que “o reduzido intervalo entre os dois eventos impossibilitou a conclusão integral dos reparos antes da abertura dos portões para o confronto” entre Flamengo e Estudiantes.
Flamengo e Estudiantes se enfrentam às 21h30 (horário de Brasília) desta quinta-feira (22), em busca de uma vaga na final da Libertadores. A partida de ida, na Argentina, terminou em empate sem gols. Assim, quem vencer no Maracanã avança, e um novo empate levará a decisão para os pênaltis.
A Fla-Flu Serviços reiterou, por fim, seu compromisso com a preservação e integridade do Maracanã, bem como com a segurança e as condições adequadas de uso de suas instalações.

Spouses of Trump administration Cabinet members say they lean on one another as they navigate life in Washington, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their friendships on the latest episode of Fox News' "the Girls" podcast.
On Thursday's episode, actress Cheryl Hines, wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, wife of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, discussed how Cabinet spouses lean on one another through occasional lunches, girls' nights out and reunions at crowded White House events.
"We actually get together like once a month or, you know, we have a club that we're part of. It's like an international club and most of us are in it," Campos-Duffy said. "We see each other then, and then sometimes we'll go to lunch or next week I think we're just doing a girls' night out after."
'THE GIRLS' PODCAST DEBUTS AS CO-HOSTS TAKE ON LINDSAY CLANCY CASE, MS RACHEL'S POLITICAL ACTIVISM
Hines, known for her role on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," said seeing familiar faces at administration events can be comforting, as Cabinet spouses often gravitate toward one another in a crowd.
"As you guys know, there are so many events going on for the White House, for the Cabinet. So, whenever there's a big sea of people at a party, and I use the term loosely, you know, Rachel and I will gravitate and go, ‘How's it going? How's it going?’ It's nice to have a pal," Hines said.
Campos-Duffy added that while the spouses often see one another at events, they find it difficult to have meaningful conversations in a crowded room, so they make time to get together outside official functions.
"We do find that time, which is actually really great," Campos-Duffy said.
The conversation also offered a humorous glimpse into life at home with one of the administration's most outspoken advocates for healthy living. Kennedy has championed the "Make America Healthy Again" movement, urging Americans to cut back on ultra-processed foods and raising concerns about seed oils.
"Well, once in a while, he will catch me eating potato chips, and then I won't stop because, you know, it's okay. I'm not shoplifting. But he'll say, ‘Are you [going to] do this in front of me?’ I was like, ‘Yes.’ But yeah, he definitely makes it … He brings it to the forefront, shall we say," Hines said.

When Fox News host Harris Faulkner asked whether Kennedy ever gives in to his own cravings, Hines said the health secretary has a hard time stopping at just one bite.

"If you're eating, like, a piece of cake or something, the problem with Bobby is he can't have a bite. He has to have the whole thing," Hines said, laughing.
In July several Democratic senators wrote to Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano with a specific concern. The agency he leads, they wrote, has sent “unsolicited” messages to Social Security recipients, pushing misleading statements about Donald Trump.
“You are misusing official resources to heap praise on him,” the letter said, adding that the Social Security Administration appeared to be “bombarding Americans with blatantly partisan emails” touting the president.
If Bisignano saw the letter, he apparently didn’t care.
On Thursday morning, with less than two weeks remaining in the election cycle and with early voting underway across much of the country, the Social Security Administration sent out yet another political message, which began:
Last year, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cuts, which included a historic tax cut for America’s seniors. That law also created Trump Accounts, individual investment accounts for America’s children designed to grow with the U.S. economy and build long-term savings.
Today, nearly 70 million Trump Accounts are open for all American children. … Trump Accounts are one of the most significant investments in the next generation of Americans in our nation’s history, by giving every American child a stake in our country’s success and a strong financial foundation for the future.
The relatively brief email referenced the president’s surname 10 times.
It also misnamed the Republicans’ domestic policy megabill: At Trump’s insistence, the GOP package was named the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Republicans later decided that name wasn’t doing them any favors, so party officials were told to start referring to the package as the “Working Families Tax Cut Bill” or the “Working Families Tax Plan” as part of a clumsy rebranding, which the Social Security Administration has apparently embraced as part of its election-season messaging.
Making matters worse is the broader pattern. In early July the Social Security Administration sent out an unsolicited email celebrating Republican tax breaks — it referred to Trump, by name or title, six times in a five-paragraph email — which followed related political emails to Social Security beneficiaries in July 2025 and August 2025.
Americans need to be able to rely on ostensibly apolitical federal agencies for accurate information, free of partisan taint. When the public sees Trump rant online or during a media interview, most probably realize it’s best to approach his nonsense with skepticism.
But when people get unsolicited official statements from the Social Security Administration, they should be able to have some confidence that the agency isn’t trying to lobby them with political messaging.
And yet, here we are, watching the SSA join a list of politicized agencies, being used as partisan tools in the White House’s political toolbox, creating a dynamic in which many Americans are likely to approach the next message they receive from the government about Social Security with some skepticism.

At a distance, it’s tempting to think Donald Trump would want his defamation case against the BBC to move forward as quickly as possible. The president, however, has apparently been reluctant to sit down for a deposition in his own lawsuit.
Over the summer, attorneys for both sides negotiated a schedule, which included plans for an Oct. 16 deposition. That didn’t happen: The Republican’s lawyers recently canceled the session and said he was unavailable “due to other matters of national importance.”
Left unsaid was that the “matters of national importance” were campaign rallies in red states as the president tried to rescue the careers of Republicans struggling in their campaigns due to his historic unpopularity.
Lawyers for the British broadcaster, dissatisfied with this state of affairs, went back to court to ask the judge to force Trump to set a firm date to submit to questioning in the case. This proved effective, as U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett on Thursday morning ordered the plaintiff to sit for a deposition by Dec. 11.
An Associated Press report noted that Lett went on to say that if Trump failed to comply with the new deadline, the court could penalize him, possibly by dismissing the lawsuit altogether.
While Trump has earned a reputation as a president who loves to file outlandish lawsuits against major news organizations, this gambit against the BBC was weird even for him.
Late last year, Trump sued the British broadcaster for $10 billion over a news program that focused on the Jan. 6 attack. Defending the litigation, Trump told reporters that the network “literally put words in my mouth,” adding, “I guess they used AI. … They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with Jan. 6 that I didn’t say.”
That wasn’t quite right. For one thing, the BBC didn’t use artificial intelligence. For another, the network did air a program that edited Trump’s Jan. 6 speech, connecting two clips that were delivered roughly 50 minutes apart, but the news outlet didn’t manufacture words or phrases out of whole cloth.
Nevertheless, the editing sparked a controversy that led to an internal investigation, and the BBC ultimately fired some senior officials and issued a written apology.
Trump, however, apparently doesn’t want an apology. He wants $10 billion.
The president has filed a great many dubious lawsuits against independent news organizations, nearly all of which have ended in failure, and given what’s publicly known about his case against the BBC, there’s no reason to assume it will fare any better.
As for why Trump appears reluctant to be deposed, his lawyers haven’t offered any explanation, though it’s worth emphasizing that the president has a rather embarrassing track record when it comes to his performance in depositions in other, unrelated cases — a point one would expect his attorneys to be aware of.
Another point of contention in the BBC case is the network’s interest in speaking to former special counsel Jack Smith, whom Trump’s lawyers want to exclude. That matter has not yet been resolved. Watch this space.

US Army officials say the safety protocols for soldiers using lasers are surprisingly simple: don't stand too close to the target and don't look into the weapon.
Directed-energy weapons are seeing more operational use, particularly at the US southern border, where the Army has employed them against cartel-linked drones. The service envisions these systems operating on different vehicles and being easy for soldiers to learn and use safely.
At the Association of the United States Army, or AUSA, convention last week in Washington, DC, officials and industry partners spoke on developments in directed-energy weapons.
Asked about personal protective equipment, or PPE, and any concerns about specular reflection from lasers, Kirk Williams, chief engineer of the Army's directed energy project office, said the rules were similar in some respects to those for other weapons.
"Well, the short and sweet of that answer is: unless you're within ten feet of the target, a specular reflection is eye-safe, so the soldiers don't need the eye protection from the laser," he said, explaining that "it's like any other weapons system: don't look into it."
"We tell the soldiers the same thing about an M-16. Don't look down the barrel. Same thing with lasers, don't look down the barrel."
Specular reflections occur when light bounces off a surface. In the case of a laser weapon, reflected light can bounce off a targeted vehicle or drone. While the target absorbs most of the energy, some reflections might stray and cause eye or skin damage to soldiers near the target.
Williams said that part of the reason the Army likes these weapons is their relatively low risk to soldiers and the limited need for protective gear. "They are safe," he said, adding that "the great thing about a laser is we can also turn them off instantaneously."
The weapons also have safeguards that shut them down if there is a risk of hitting something other than the intended target.

During the panel, Williams and others also talked about the Army's priorities for deploying more laser weapons, an area of growing importance for the Army and the broader US military.
Brig. Gen. Guy Yelverton, the capability program executive for defensive fires, said the service wants to integrate high-energy lasers onto "any vehicle in the motorpool." He said the Army's Enduring High Energy Laser, or E-HEL, is mounted on a sled, allowing it to be integrated onto multiple types of vehicles.
The E-HEL is an Army directed-energy weapon program using AeroVironment's LOCUST laser system.
Yelverton said that making weapons compatible with different vehicles and usable by soldiers across military specialties will allow the Army to deploy them more widely.
The general said that this flexibility would allow the Army to deploy laser weapons "across all Army formations," giving commanders more options for where to put them and which soldiers should operate them.
"It's a great dilemma to have," he said.
Officials also said part of disseminating the weapons is making them easy to train on. "Most of our training sessions, we can train somebody in like, five minutes, to be able to use this system and start shooting things down," Williams said, adding that using standard controllers like those for an Xbox made it intuitive.
The Army's testing of laser weapons and other counter-drone systems at the southern border has reinforced the idea that the US will need layered defenses to counter a range of drone threats. Drug cartels are increasingly using drones to support operations, and the Army has already used lasers to shoot some down.
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says she is helping President Donald Trump choose his next press secretary after his first pick for the job lasted just five days.
"I've offered my help to the president to help him select someone who can serve him and the country well," Leavitt said Wednesday evening in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
Leavitt served as Trump's press secretary from the start of the president's second term until Aug. 27, when she stepped down from the demanding role to spend more time with her two young children, including a daughter who was born in May.
Her successor, political commentator Katie Zacharia, took over earlier this month, but lasted just five days in the role, making her the shortest-serving White House press secretary in U.S. history.
TRUMP'S NEW PRESS SECRETARY OUT OF A JOB JUST DAYS AFTER ROCKY DEBUT
"White House press secretary is a tough job. I know that because I did it, obviously for almost two years, and many people say it's one of the hardest jobs in politics," Leavitt emphasized.
She noted that the job "takes a lot of preparation and sometimes you don't know how someone will perform until they go out there."
"We wish Katie the best. The job obviously was not for her, but we wish her and her family well," Leavitt added.
When it comes to whom Trump will choose next for the position, Leavitt said the president "is continuing to look over options. There's a lot of people who want that job. It's an amazing job. It provides you with incredible opportunities."

Asked what advice she's offered to Trump, Leavitt said, "I'll keep my private counsel to the president private, but I do obviously talk to him about what the job entails, and he knows it very well."
"Nobody understands the press better than Donald Trump. He knows he needs someone who is tough, who is smart, who understands his policies, who is loyal, and who can go out there and put up a fight," she added.
Leavitt, a New Hampshire native, served as an intern in the Trump White House after graduating from Saint Anselm College in 2019. She later became an assistant White House press secretary at the end of Trump's first term.
After Trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential election, Leavitt worked as communications director for Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York. She then served as spokeswoman for the Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc. before taking over as press secretary for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
After being named White House press secretary following the 2024 election, Leavitt made history as the youngest person ever in the role.
DEMOCRACY â26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB
Leavitt also ran for Congress in 2022, winning a heavily contested GOP nomination in New Hampshire's 1st District before losing the general election to incumbent Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas.
Asked if she might make another run for public office in her home state when Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan is up for re-election in 2028, Leavitt quickly said, "No, I'm all set. I don't have any plans to run for office in the near future at all, or in the future at all."

"I am home with my family, and we're really excited about that," she explained. "Right now I'm really focused on being a wife and a mother to my two very young children. That's why I made the decision to leave Washington. So we're just happy to be home and enjoying the ride."
Leavitt officially becomes a Fox News contributor at the start of November.
Il Fox Collie potrebbe essere il cane del ventunesimo secolo. Questa è la convinzione dell’allevatore di questa anomala razza di cani non ancora riconosciuta ufficialmente. Il New York Times ha incontrato colui che ha dato origine a questa particolare razza, Andy DuVigneaud, che vive nella Anderson Valley, una regione rurale della California settentrionale nota per i suoi vigneti, frutteti e allevamenti di bestiame.
Questa nuova razza nasce da una storia secolare, che prende avvio con la decisione la decisione del pastore scozzese Alexander McNab di importare dal suo paese una coppia di Scotch Collie, perché nessuno dei cani che aveva trovato al suo arrivo negli Stati Uniti, nel 1886, si era rivelato adeguato a svolgere il lavoro che spettava loro nei pascoli.
Una volta importata questa prima coppia di Scoth Collie, McNab tentò anche una serie di incroci con cani già presenti negli USA e da questi incroci nacque una razza che venne con il tempo perfezionata e che prende il nome proprio dal suo ideatore: McNab appunto.
È proprio da un McNab che è nata la sperimentazione che nel 2020 ha tentato DuVigneaud, quando questa specie era già ormai in progressiva diminuzione. Incrociando una cucciola di McNab con un altro esemplare simile, DuVigneaud sostiene di aver dato origine a una nuova razza, il Fox Collie.

Instituição responsável por promover e defender, perante a Justiça, os direitos individuais e coletivos, sobretudo dos menos privilegiados, a DPU pediu à Corte uma liminar de abrangência nacional que obrigue o poder público a, no próximo domingo (25), assegurar o transporte público municipal e intermunicipal gratuitamente.
No pedido, a instituição solicita inclusive que, nas localidades onde não houver sistema de transporte público regular, os órgãos públicos responsáveis sejam compelidos a usar veículos públicos a fim de assegurar o deslocamento sem custos dos eleitores até os locais de votação. E que os horários e itinerários sejam divulgados em até 24 horas.
Em nota, a DPU informou que decidiu recorrer ao STF após analisar os resultados de uma consulta que fez a 3.518 dos 5.570 municípios brasileiros, dos quais 78 declararam que ou não ofereceram transporte público gratuito no primeiro turno ou que o sistema operou com frequência inferior à dos dias úteis.
Ainda segundo a DPU, algumas prefeituras alegaram não ter prestado o serviço atendendo a determinações da própria Justiça Eleitoral. Isso apesar da obrigatoriedade do poder público, em dias de eleição, garantir o passe livre em viagens municipais e intermunicipais já ter sido validada pelo STF e detalhada pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), por meio da Resolução nº 23.751, de fevereiro deste ano.
Para a DPU, a falta de transporte gratuito ameaça transformar o voto em um direito condicionado à renda e ao local de moradia. A instituição sustenta que garantir o deslocamento dos eleitores é uma condição material para assegurar a igualdade de participação política, principalmente para indígenas, comunidades tradicionais e moradores de áreas rurais, “onde as longas distâncias e a ausência de linhas regulares podem impedir o acesso às urnas”.
Na quarta-feira (21), a ministra Cármen Lúcia, do STF, cobrou do TSE uma resposta sobre as normas de gratuidade no transporte público em linhas interestaduais, que conectam cidades vizinhas, embora de estados diferentes.
Cármen Lúcia estabeleceu um prazo de 48 horas para o TSE dar as informações.
A provocação da ministra foi motivada por uma ação da coligação Brasil Pronto Para Mais, de apoio ao candidato à Presidência Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Na ação, a coligação pede ao STF que determine a oferta gratuita de transporte interestadual já neste segundo turno.
Many of Donald Trump’s recent campaign rallies have been interrupted by protesters, but as MS NOW reported, the president’s Wednesday night rally in South Carolina, intended to rescue appointed Republican Sen. Darline Graham, featured an unusually high number of disruptions. From the article:
The effort was an uphill battle from the start, and it didn’t get easier. … Roughly five minutes into Trump’s speech, security escorted at least four protesters out of the event, with that number rising to at least 11 by the end of the 93-minute remarks. About 20 minutes into the speech, an attendee appeared to punch a protester on the floor directly right in front of Trump. As those involved were escorted out, Trump remarked on the altercation.
“Wow, thank you, that was great, man,” Trump said. “I love — I watched that. Man. You know I watched that, I saw that. That was incredible. Wow.”
The president added, in apparent admiration, “Who was the guy that threw that punch? Who threw that punch?” After identifying the pugilist who hit a protester, Trump said, “You know, you reminded me of Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield,” referring to a retired professional boxer.
The Republican went on to celebrate the fact that the protester “got whacked.”
Trump effusively praises his supporters for punching a protester:Who's the guy that threw that punch? You reminded me of Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield. That guy stood up and he just got whacked. Man! Evander, he wants your autograph! Don't fight him, Evander, don't fight him!

If this sounded a bit familiar, it’s not your imagination. In June 2017, after then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders argued that the president had never “promoted or encouraged violence,” The Washington Post published an analysis that characterized the claim as “laughable,” adding, “Even if you don’t believe Trump has technically incited violence (which he has been sued for), he clearly nodded toward violence at his campaign rallies. Sometimes it was veiled; other times it was unmistakable. Sometimes he was talking about self-defense, but it was clear he was advocating for a ‘form of violence.’”
In February 2016, for example, Trump offered some advice to supporters in Iowa. “[I]f you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of him, would you? Seriously, OK, just knock the hell,” he said. “I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees; I promise, I promise.”
A month later, in response to a protester at a rally, the then-candidate said, “Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do, I’ll defend you in court, don’t worry about it.”
Around the same time, after one protester was punched by one of the future president’s supporters, Trump declared, “Maybe he deserved to get roughed up.”
To be sure, many Americans are probably familiar with Trump downplaying Jan. 6 violence, but this is qualitatively different: A decade ago, the Republican offered tacit support for his followers assaulting protesters, and Wednesday night in South Carolina, he did it again, reinforcing concerns that he sees political violence as a legitimate response to detractors.
