Lawmakers who urged military personnel to refuse illegal orders say federal agents want to question them

A group of Democrats accused by Donald Trump of “seditious behavior” have said that the US president is using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against them as a “tool to intimidate and harass members of Congress”.

The four politicians, along with two others, had made a video encouraging US military service members to resist unlawful orders – a message that angered Trump, who posted on social media that the group were “traitors” and thus could be jailed or even face the death penalty.

Results show a ‘general sense of gloom’ as fewer Australians now believe climate change is caused by humans compared with March

Twice as many older Australians than young adults believe the world cannot do anything to prevent the worst effects of our rapidly heating climate, according to the latest Guardian Essential poll.

The poll of 1,020 Australians last week,also found just 53% of people think climate change is happening and is caused by human activity. That has declined one point from March 2025, when 54% of respondents said the same.

Chad ‘Charley’ Mecca says Morgan Geyser ran away out of fear that the two would no longer be able to visit each other

A companion of Slender Man stabber Morgan Geyser who temporarily escaped from her Wisconsin group home says Geyser fled the facility out of fear that the two would no longer be able to visit each other.

“She ran because of me,” Chad “Charley” Mecca – a transgender woman who was detained alongside Geyser at a truck stop just outside Chicago on Sunday night – said in a phone call to Wisconsin news outlet WKOW.

Southern California residents shared disastrous effects of Trump’s immigration crackdown at a congressional hearing

The Trump administration’s ICE raids across southern California have had disastrous effects on the region’s immigrants and swept up US citizens in the process, community leaders and residents said at a congressional hearing in Los Angeles on Monday.

Andrea Velez, an American arrested by US immigration officials over the summer, described how she was accosted by masked agents while on her way to work. She said she was charged with assaulting an officer and held for two days in a federal detention center, where detainees had to pay for a cup in order to have water. The charges against her were ultimately dismissed due to what her attorney described as a lack of evidence.
