>What's going on there?
Nothing. Bolsonaro had some rallies for yesterday and the left was saying he'd launch a coup d'état, but they said the same of military exercises on the 10th of August. He's too clueless to do anything, it feels like a power vacuum. The government has no meaning or direction and just drags along.
Early on he didn't bribe Congress as would've been typical. Since he didn't play by the system, the only alternative would've been to steamroll through it, which he didn't do, either, so anything in Brasília took forever to happen. Now it seems he bribed enough Congressional power, but has to spend this political capital shielding himself from scandals. Congress might not block him like it used to but the Supreme Court (which, frankly, has been a tad too arrogant for their own good in the past years) and governors are against him.

>Bolsonaro losing popularity?
Certainly. Aside from negative press, which he had from day 1, prices are soaring and living conditions deteriorate day by day. The left are skilled oppositionists and agitate aggressively. Nevertheless, like Lula, Bolsonaro still fields a core of dedicated supporters. Next year he'll try populist economic measures to get reelected, but I still think Lula will win. Voters associate him with the golden years in the 00s, not with the relative stagnation and beginning of the present crisis under his successor.

Nobody ever calls him that.
