El-Sayed says in TV debate ‘ogre on a pike’ Zoom comment was in reference to John Fetterman, not Haley Stevens
The Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said his comments that progressives need to put the head of an “ogre” on a pike was in reference to the Senator John Fetterman – not his opponent, Representative Haley Stevens.
In a televised debate on Monday, the final head-to-head before the state’s 4 August primary, the moderator asked El-Sayed whether he regretted his comments made in a Zoom meeting, in which, according to leaked audio published by Politico, he suggested that if “you put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message”.

Deux incendies ont ravagé en quelques jours environ 75 000 hectares de forêt.



Selon une étude publiée dans le Journal de l’Association médicale canadienne, la plupart des urgentologues canadiens continuent à souffrir d’épuisement professionnel à un niveau comparable à celui observé au plus fort de la pandémie.
Sur les 410 urgentologues qui ont répondu à trois sondages (en 2020, 2022 et 2025), en 2025, 10% avaient quitté les services d’urgence.
Parmi ceux qui exerçaient toujours aux urgences:

Un coup de feu a atteint hier la façade du consulat américain à Toronto.
Des policiers ont pris en chasse le véhicule du suspect, mais ne sont pas parvenus à l’arrêter.
C’était la deuxième fois cette année que le consulat américain était visé par balle.
Deux suspects avaient déjà tiré plusieurs coups de feu sur l’édifice en mars dernier.

The Wikimedia Foundation waited until the days following its largest worldwide conference to issue a statement saying it would not voluntarily recognize a union of its workers.
Last week, Wiki Workers United, which is organized through the Communication Workers Union and represents U.S. workers at the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, requested voluntary recognition of their union. Wiki Workers United said that it had secured a “supermajority of union-eligible workers who have signed union authorization cards.” A group of more than 1,100 Wikipedia editors have also signed a letter of support for the union.
On Monday, just days after the massive Wikimania Conference concluded in Paris, the Wikimedia Foundation announced it would not voluntarily recognize the union and said the union would have to conduct a vote as overseen by the National Labor Relations Board.
“The Foundation’s responsibility is to ensure that they can make their own choice freely,” the foundation wrote in the statement. “So that every eligible employee has an equal voice, we believe a secret-ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board is the appropriate path forward.”
“We have heard a range of views from staff, including concerns from those who have felt pressured to support union efforts and those who are confused by the unionization process,” the foundation added in a frequently asked questions section. “We have also seen a misunderstanding around what the union can do for global staff and Wikimedia movement communities.”
The Wikimedia Foundation’s statement and its frequently asked questions section is full of very carefully-worded language that is common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization. For example, the FAQ includes a long section about the benefits that Wikimedia Foundation already offers its staff, and the statement suggests that there is a “wide range of views on unionization” among employees.
Wikipedians immediately took issue with the timing of the statement and the language of it. On a talk page discussing the statement, the Wikimedia Foundation is getting hammered for the timing of the statement and the statement itself.
“What a shameful decision to tie the process to the willingness of Trump-controlled NLRB. Everyone involved in denying the voluntary recognition should resign in disgrace or be driven out,” one editor wrote.
“The fact that this response came exactly 1 day after Wikimania shows that you are afraid of being confronted,” another wrote.
“This is an extremely disappointing statement. It says that ‘Foundation leadership respects the right of staff to unionize, if they choose to do so. That decision rests with them.’ But that decision has been made - by a supermajority of US-based staff. The only thing standing between the US WWU and recognition is WMF executive leadership, who could recognize the union today if they cared to,” a third wrote.
“As a U.S. trained labor lawyer and past organizer with WWU, this statement, alongside the WMF’s public facing community post reek of union-busting disinformation. What’s critical for the community to know is that a supermajority of the workers already did vote by signing a card. This ‘extra step’ is just a delay tactic that employers are advised to do when they don’t want a union,” a fourth wrote. “These WMF workers have already been extremely brave by expressly affirming their commitment to a union. Years of efforts to get this accomplished. This is not some rash decision by them. Moreover, the community supports their union too! It literally makes no sense as to why WMF thought this was the right decision here in this critical moment.”
At Wikimania in Paris, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer Bernadette Meehan was asked about voluntarily recognizing the union. Meehan said “our focus is on executing and helping the core organizing team execute a great event. We will respond to that particular request when we have a chance to review it.”
“We are supportive and we support employees’ right to unionize. The context is complicated because we operate in multiple different places,” she added. “We respect the right if it is the majority will of eligible staffers to unionize.”
The Wikimedia Foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Volodymyr Zelensky est le premier dirigeant étranger que reçoit le nouveau premier ministre britannique, Andy Burnham, depuis son entrée en fonction la semaine dernière.
Le gouvernement britannique compte céder à l’Ukraine la propriété intellectuelle d’un nouveau système qui permettrait à l’armée ukrainienne de protéger ses drones en brouillant les défenses aériennes russes.
Pour contexte, l’Ukraine a intensifié au cours des derniers mois ses attaques de drones sur des cibles militaires et pétrolières en Russie.

Police believe Sara Gilson was killed by husband Jeremiah Duffy after she accused him on TikTok of child sexual abuse
Sara Gilson, the social media influencer who was killed after she publicly accused her husband of child sexual abuse, “couldn’t seem to get away” from Jeremiah Duffy despite filing multiple protective orders, Gilson’s ex-husband said in an interview.
“She had been stuck in a relationship where domestic abuse seemed ‘OK’,” Lyle Landers told People. “I had begged her for five years to get away from him. I had offered to help her, in any way I could, to get away from him. But he seemed to have some sort of control over her, and she couldn’t seem to get away.”

Le fuyard arrêté le 9 juin dernier à Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage après avoir notamment traversé la rivière Mitis et quitté les lieux d’une sortie de route survenue à Saint-Octave-de-Métis, Alex Bradette, de Fermont, reviendra devant le tribunal ce mercredi 29 juillet à Rimouski pour la tenue de son enquête sur remise en liberté.
L’individu de 29 ans était de retour à la cour le 13 juillet dernier pour son enquête sur remise en liberté qui avait été reportée au 27 juillet pour fixer une date d’audition.
Le dossier a été placé au pied du rôle, lundi matin, en raison de l’absence de l’avocat de l’accusé, Me Pierre Gagnon. Il a été appelé en après-midi pour être reporté à mercredi.
L’accusé est détenu depuis son arrestation, le 9 juin. Rappelons que la détention préventive purgée avant l’imposition d’une peine est comptabilisée à 1,5 jour par jour.
Bradette a comparu une première fois le 9 juin au palais de justice de Rimouski pour répondre à de nombreuses accusations. Le ministère public s’est alors objecté à sa remise en liberté.
Selon la dénonciation obtenue par Le Soir.ca, Bradette est accusé d’avoir conduit un véhicule avec les capacités affaiblies, d’avoir refusé d’obtempérer à un ordre de se soumettre à l’éthylomètre, sans excuse raisonnable et de conduite dangereuse.
Il doit aussi répondre d’avoir agi de manière et avec l’intention de provoquer la peur chez une personne associée au système judiciaire, de harcèlement envers la même personne, d’avoir volontairement entravé les agents de la paix dans leurs fonctions et de méfaits sur une autopatrouille.
Alex Bradette fait aussi face à deux chefs d’accusation de bris de probation.
Les policiers de la Sûreté du Québec sont intervenus mardi, vers midi, à la suite d’une embardée impliquant un véhicule survenue sur la route du Grand-Remous, à Sainte-Octave-de-Métis.
À leur arrivée sur les lieux, les policiers ont constaté qu’aucun occupant ne se trouvait à bord du véhicule. Des démarches ont rapidement été entreprises afin de localiser la ou les les personnes impliquées.
Dans le cadre de l’intervention, un homme de 29 ans a été localisé dans le secteur du 4e Rang, à Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage, après avoir notamment traversé la rivière Métis.

Police arrested a high school physics teacher for clapping during a city council meeting last Wednesday. Teacher Lux Claridge went to a meeting of the Emporia, Kansas City Commission on July 22 with their spouse and brother. All three were there to speak out against a proposed hyperscale data center that would sit on 1,000 acres of rural land in Emporia. They left the meeting in handcuffs, dragged out by police on the orders of a city commissioner.

Fraught time for Ken Martin as new reporting details cash-flow problem and divisions over party’s direction
Mounting financial pressures and growing internal turmoil at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have intensified scrutiny of chair Ken Martin, as new reporting detailed a deepening cash-flow problem, management concerns and widening divisions over the party’s direction less than 100 days before the November midterm elections.
The latest reporting has underscored both the committee’s financial distress and the toll it has taken on Martin personally. The New York Times reported that the embattled DNC chair, who took the helm last year, became the subject of an internal HR inquiry after throwing his phone in the direction of a junior aide’s desk during a heated exchange in early July, prompting a formal complaint. The Times, citing people familiar with the matter, also reported that the incident nearly cost him his job and has contributed to growing isolation with the party as the committee grapples with mounting financial strain.
