🇨🇳 In China, schoolchildren are being enlisted to assist the police - an initiative officials say is aimed at fostering a sense of civic responsibility from an early age.
Under the program, children are dressed in miniature police uniforms and sent out onto city streets, where they are tasked with monitoring minor infractions. Their primary focus: cyclists who ride without helmets.
When they spot a violation, the children loudly call out offenders, publicly scolding them in an effort to shame them into compliance.
Authorities describe the effort as educational, though it has drawn attention for its unusual approach to discipline and public enforcement.

🇨🇦Floor-crossing MP Marilyn Gladu had her office vandalized, presumably by constituents who feel betrayed by her recent decision to defect from the Conservatives and join the Carney government.
Gladu, who represented the riding of Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong, made the announcement that she would be leaving the Conservative Party on Wednesday in a letter published by the Liberal Party of Canada.

🇺🇸 Four women describe sexual misconduct by Democratic representative Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her.
Swalwell has been the leading Democratic candidate in the ongoing California gubernatorial race scheduled for this November.
According to the alleged rape survivor, the congressman left her bruised and bleeding after the act of sexual violence.
“I was pushing him off of me, saying no,” the woman told CNN of the incident, which she said happened in 2024 after she had stopped working in Swalwell’s office. “He didn’t stop.”
During President Trump's first term in office, Swalwell was one of the leading Democratic voices exposing the Republican president's indecent behavior and bad treatment of women.
