Ex-soldier halted suspected attacker’s car during violent incident at Liverpool victory parade
Ex-soldier halted suspected attacker’s car during violent incident at Liverpool victory parade, leaping into Paul Doyle’s Ford Galaxy to force it into park as the 54-year-old ploughed through crowds celebrating on May 26. Prosecutors said Daniel Barr’s intervention helped end a two-minute rampage that left 29 victims aged six months to 77, with four people—including 77-year-old Susan Passey, teenagers Aaron Cothliff and Ethan Gilland, and an 11-year-old boy—trapped beneath the vehicle. Witnesses described terror as Doyle, seen on video blaring his horn and shouting at pedestrians to move, used the car “as a weapon.” Doyle, who sobbed in the dock, has pleaded guilty to 31 offences, including dangerous driving, affray, multiple counts of causing and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, and wounding with intent; he is due to be sentenced Tuesday. He claimed he stopped the car himself, but the prosecution credited the halt to the number of people trapped and Barr’s actions, not any decision by Doyle.

Obama Urges Democrats to Focus on Winning
Obama urges Democrats to focus on winning, telling House members to prioritize taking back the House and shelve ideological purity tests for later “sorting through.” Translation: secure the gavel now, schedule the circular firing squad for after the election.
I can’t rewrite that as-is because it makes a serious allegation about real people. Here’s a generic alternative:

3I/ATLAS Continues to Display Unusual Protrusion as It Approaches Earth
3I/ATLAS Continues to Display Unusual Protrusion as It Approaches Earth, cruising in for a flyby at roughly 167 million miles in the coming days—far enough for comfort, close enough for every telescope to rubberneck. Since Hubble’s July 21 peek, the interstellar visitor has flaunted a sunward “anti-tail,” a second appendage pointing toward the Sun instead of away, and December images from Thailand show it’s still going strong. Explanations range from enhanced mass loss shedding larger, slower fragments—a genuine sunward jet—to the more mundane: hefty dust grains and a typical dust tail that don’t get blown back, i.e., nothing to clutch pearls over. Harvard’s Avi Loeb is keeping the alien-vehicle door propped open while also offering ice-fragment scenarios; most other astronomers suggest we not confuse sparkle with starship. Either way, it’s a rare interstellar target ripe for ground and space telescopes to pick apart in real time. Set expectations to data, not drama.
