  • Trump’s department of war rebrand ‘won’t strengthen national security or help military personnel’ – US politics live

    Democrat Tammy Duckworth, an injured veteran, says money should go towards helping military families and preventing conflictsTrump expected to rebrand Pentagon as ‘Department of War’President Donald Trump’s deal-making approach to diplomacy is “quite cynical”, but in a positive sense, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview published on Friday.In an interview with Russian news outlet Argumenty i Fakty, Peskov contrasted Trump’s position with that of European countries which, he said, were doing everything they could to hinder a peaceful settlement of the war in Ukraine.Why not put this money toward supporting military families or toward employing diplomats that help prevent conflicts from starting in the first place?Because Trump would rather use our military to score political points than to strengthen our national security and support our brave servicemembers and their families - that’s why Continue reading...

  • The cat mayoral race: meet 11 runners and riders in the US’s most furious – and furriest – election

    It has been the talk of Somerville, Massachusetts this summer, with the winner announced later today. Will it be the candidate who promises free kibble or the one who speaks gnomically of ‘CRIME’?In Somerville, Massachusetts, a community bike path has, in recent months, become a hotly contested political constituency. A cat with a distinctive black smudge on her nose, Berry, had been sighted on the path by a number of concerned neighbours, who reported her missing. But she wasn’t actually anywhere she shouldn’t have been – Berry is an outdoor cat who lives in the area – so her family put up a poster dubbing her the bike path’s “mayor” to let neighbours know not to worry. It wasn’t long though before things got out of hand. How come Berry got to be mayor, asked other pet owners?A heated election is now under way. There have been dirty tactics (at one point, Berry’s campaign sign was stolen), scandal (candidates were outraged when a local vet claimed to be “sponsoring” the race), and even death: Pirate, the candidate whose family took it upon themselves to set up the online ballot, died unexpectedly, mid-race. Voting (for Somerville locals only) ends on 5 September – and with 73 pets currently in the running, there’s plenty of choice. So who are the runners and riders? Continue reading...
