Inside Senate Dems' summer warpath against Trump
Senate Democrats held more than 100 events railing against Republican policies in the first week of their summer recess, part of a coordinated push to drive down GOP approval ahead of the 2026 midterms. Why it matters: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) deployed similar tactics on the campaign trail last year, when his Democrats significantly outperformed the rest of the party in the general election. Schumer wants his caucus to localize the impact of policies Trump and the Republican Congress have embraced in Washington — specifically cuts to health care, tariffs, rising energy costs and tax cuts for the wealthy. The events have included town halls, hospital visits and huddles with small business owners, along with visits to food banks and to local businesses. Schumer blitzed upstate New York last week to start the recess and is continuing to travel the state this week. The big picture: Democrats want to capitalize on the unpopularity of Trump's massive tax and spending cut bill, which is underwater with voters, according to polling. On Mediciad, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) said following an event in Door County last week that she is "taking this fight to every corner of our state." Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) said last week following a roundtable in his state that Trump's tariff policies were "pulverizing" small businesses. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) warned that Trump's marquee tax cut bill is creating a "perfect storm" that will lead to higher electricity bills. Between the lines: Democrats' chances in the 2026 midterms rest largely on whether they can effectively frame Trump and GOP policies as harmful, as they work to rebuild following significant losses in 2024. The hyper-local focus also gives Senate Democrats an opportunity to build a brand and reputation that is independent of the national Democratic Party, which remains deeply unpopular in recent polling. Party insiders attribute that strategy to the success last year of lawmakers like Baldwin and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), who won seats for Democrats in states that Trump carried.

This patented device creates bespoke underwater photos. Now it faces Trump's Brazil tariffs
In the heady circles where global economists and academics offer their opinions, President Trump's whopping 50% tariff on goods from Brazil will do only 'limited' harm to the economy of the South American giant. In the terrestrial places where JR deSouza makes a living, the levies enacted last week hit a lot harder. 'It has caused me a lot of lost sleep,' said deSouza, whose company, Outex, makes underwater camera housings, manufactured in plants in Brazil and in Long Beach, San Fernando and Downey. DeSouza is a married father of two who lives in La Cañada. He had a winning career in product management and marketing with companies like TiVo, Disney and DreamWorks Animation, before he founded Outex 15 years ago. The 54-year-old grew up in Brazil and came to the U.S. in high school to pursue a swimming career, which led him to the University of Tennessee and the Brazilian Olympic team. On the Rose Bowl masters swim team in Pasadena, he's the amiable teammate who has a kind word for everyone, even the flounderers who swim in his wake. In creating Outex, deSouza combined his passion for the water (he also surfs and snorkels) and photography, which he picked up from his father. He told me his company has sold tens of thousands of Outex devices, mostly to professional photographers, but also to serious amateurs, who want to take pictures in and around the water. The devices can even be used with mobile phone cameras. They get strong ratings online for flexibility, durability and picture quality. Then came Trump and his tariffs, which have thrown entrepreneurs worldwide into a dither. The charges against Brazilian goods are among the highest the president has imposed. Trump generally asserts that his tariffs hit countries that 'looted' the U.S. with unfair trade practices. But America maintains a trade surplus with Brazil. The president levied the high tariffs, instead, because Brazil's former leader and his ally, Jair Bolsonaro, has been put on house arrest and accused of plotting a coup for attempt to overturn the last presidential election. (Sound familiar?) Trump calls the case against Bolsonaro a 'witch hunt.' DeSouza doesn't want to get into those politics. He just wants to assure that his business weathers the tempest, knowing that Trump frequently has shifted tariffs, with little warning. The exact levy on Outex housings is hard to calculate, because of the company's complex net of supply and assembly across two nations. The businessman said it's possible he could shift more of his operation to the U.S., but would take time and considerable planning. 'It's very difficult for businesses, especially ones selling directly to consumers, to absorb a 50% price increase overnight,' deSouza said. He's doing his best 'to absorb some of it with our manufacturing and assembly partners here in the United States and in Brazil,' but ultimately he will have to pass some of the cost on to customers. 'We may have to lay off some workers and cut growth expenses to preserve the business and navigate through it.' He's feeling forgotten amid the global hubbub, but hoping someone in the government can help small business people like him. 'Big corporations can afford lobbyists and lawyers and, you know, people who are focused on gaming the system,' he said. 'Smaller businesses don't have the same resources. They are just trying to make a product and deliver value.' DeSouza became an American citizen years ago. 'I want what is best for the United States and for small business,' he said, 'Right now, the ambiguity and complexity is wreaking havoc.' Today's great photo is from Times photographer Christina House outside a Pasadena hotel where Sydney, a handsome but skittish dog, helps Eaton fire evacuees heal.

Robbie Brewer, veteran race car driver, dies after NC crash
Veteran race car driver Robbie Brewer, 53, died following a crash during a race Aug. 9 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina – his daughter confirmed in a social media post. Courtney Marquette wrote that her father was a mentor and best friend to her in a tribute posted to Facebook on the morning of Aug. 10. 'There wasn't much my dad couldn't fix/do when it came to his cars & racing was his absolute life which was no secret to anyone,' Marquette wrote. 'He left this world doing what he loved but it was just way way too soon.' FloRacing reported that Brewer's car veered towards the outside wall in the center of turns three and four with four laps remaining in a race in the Sportsman division. 'Unfortunately, I had a very direct line of sight into Brewer's vehicle,' Tom Radulovic, who was in the stadium as a fan when the crash occurred, told the Winston-Salem Journal. 'When they put him on the stretcher, I was able to see his hands, looking for that little wave athletes often give. There was no movement. My heart sank.' Bowman Gray Stadium said in a statement provided to the Journal and the Associated Press that Brewer was taken to an area hospital following 'an on-track medical incident.' 'Robbie was a talented and passionate racer, and highly respected competitor among his peers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robbie's family and friends at this time,' the statement reads. USA TODAY has reached out to the track for the statement and did not receive an immediate response. The Journal reported that Brewer's death was the first at the track since 2002. Veteran race driver loved at track Driver Brad Lewis, whose race shop is close to where Brewer lived, told the Journal that Brewer was 'like a big brother' and added that he was 'a wheelman through and through.' 'I'm bet everybody in that pit area has a Robbie story and that's a testament to what he meant to that place and to all of us who compete over there,' Lewis said. Randy Smith, who has worked at the stadium for 16 years and was the track's chief flagman Saturday night, told the newspaper that, 'I don't think there is one person that can say anything bad about Robbie.' Brewer was an 11-time winner in the Sportsman division at Bowman Gray and made 311 career starts at the historic stadium across all divisions, according to FloRacing. The racing outlet noted that Brewer was twice a 602 Modified Tour champion and a 602 Super Limited (Late Model) Series champion. Marquette said in her tribute that her father had 'a smile that was contagious' and an offbeat sense of humor. 'I'll always try to remember the goofy jokes we had,' she wrote.
