A former UK Tory MP, Katie Wallis, 41, has been given a 12-month community order for harassing her ex-wife, Rebeca Lovell. Wallis, who was the UK's first openly transgender MP, sent four messages and a voice note to Lovell, including abusive language and demands for money. Lovell stated that the harassment had destroyed the person she used to be and caused her significant distress. Wallis's lawyer argued that she was suffering from mental health difficulties, including PTSD and depression, during the time of the offending. Wallis was also fined £1,264. She had previously denied the charges but admitted to them in June after allegations of driving by Lovell's home were removed.

This November, Pennsylvanians will vote on the retention of three state Supreme Court justices: Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht. These retention elections are nonpartisan, meaning party labels won't appear on the ballot, and voters will decide whether to keep the current justices or remove them. The three justices are part of the five-member Democratic majority on the court. State judicial elections have become increasingly important and politicized, with significant consequences for issues like reproductive rights, environmental protection, and election fraud. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has played a crucial role in recent redistricting and has received attention for its decisions. The upcoming election could potentially swing the Democratic majority, with Republicans seeing it as an opportunity to break the 5-2 majority. The outcome of the election will have significant implications for the balance of power in Harrisburg and the state's judiciary. Voters should be aware of the importance of these retention elections and the potential consequences of their decisions.

Here is a concise summary of the news article: US President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports, citing a trade deficit with Brazil. However, the real reason behind the decision appears to be Trump's support for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is facing trial for allegedly leading an attempted coup. Trump's letter to Brazilian President Lula da Silva mentioned the trial as the main grievance, and his former adviser Steve Bannon stated that the tariffs would be reversed if the trial is stopped. The move has been seen as an attempt by the US to interfere in Brazil's internal affairs, and has sparked reactions along ideological lines in Brazil. Lula has threatened to respond in kind, but it remains unclear how the situation will unfold. The tariffs are expected to affect key industries in Brazil, including agribusiness, and may lead to a shift in trade relations with other countries, such as China.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Trump Tower in New York to demand the administration cancel plans to close the 988 suicide prevention hotline's option for LGBTQ+ youngsters. The LGBTQ+ Youth Specialised Service hotline, known as the Press Three Option, was set up to help prevent suicide among queer young people and is part of the national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The service is set to close on July 17 due to the elimination of funding for LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention services. The Trevor Project's CEO, Jaymes Black, said the decision is "incomprehensible" and will have "deadly consequences." Celebrities, including Ariana Grande and Daniel Radcliffe, have signed an open letter urging lawmakers to protect the funding for the hotline. The closure of the service has sparked outrage, with many arguing that it will leave LGBTQ+ youth without access to specialized crisis services.
