Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”
Congressional candidate is raped while repairing her campaign signs
Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing.

You see, it's only "how are you gonna pay for that?!" when its giving Americans healthcare. When it's a supplemental Dept of War appropriations bill to spend billions to keep our sailors in The Strait of Hormuz in order to keep crude prices down before the midterms, thats just Supporting The Troops
Jeremy C-howl@jmchao.bsky.social · 4h agoTaxpayer money doesn't count. It's free, like a gift of millions of dollars in chips from daddy to bail out your casino.
Also when calculating the cost of this in these pieces, the cost of the US Navy escorting all these tankers is somehow assumed to be $0 instead of what it is actually is.
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 8h agoI don’t think a 21X increase in the cost to get a tanker out of the Persian Gulf with lower total exports than before the war is an achievement. And I think it’s odd that so much of the press has been covering it as if we should see this as positive, with “Better Than You Think”-style “explainers.”

"i believe that every Republican Senator has betrayed their oath to the Constitution but i will never ever ever endorse or vote for their opponent" is a sentence that should immediately zap your prefrontal cortex like a microwave oven what are we doing here man
maybe it's a topic for a quick blog post but there's this insane phenomenon that happens with anti-Trump right-wingers where they correctly acknowledge the stakes at play and then refuse to actually do anything about it
legalizing gambling was the single biggest social disaster of the last decade, and that's a high bar to clear.
it's not great, incidentally, that *both* China and America have lost a bunch of their key financial and regulatory talent in the last two years, albeit that the American damage is more wide-ranging and stupider.

Daisy you've been shading Erika all night, talking about your popcorn ceiling is just returning serve. #RHONY
She only owns 1/8th of a private island, so she's actually dirt poor! Thank you for clearing that up Ms. Rent Control. #RHONY
Something about going to another island really unlocks something unhinged in RHONY ladies #rhony
The nerve of Daisy and Erin. Erika's PRIVATE ISLAND ESTATE isn't good enough. This is housewifery at its finest. #RHONY
Daisy is very messy for this. (good job, girl.) #RHONY
Jessel tried to have a serious moment and Carole just said, "Squirrel!" #RHONY

What is wrong with everyone's stomachs? Taco Bell doesn't run through me like that. It's just regular ass food not a damn laxative. #RHONY
Oooooh, David did Sai VERY nasty. Ran to the courthouse and didn't even give her notice. yikes! #RHONY
I'm a silk pillowcase snob too, Carole. I get it. #RHONY
We're on a trip and everyone has their own bed. We're seeing wealth again! 🥲 #RHONY
interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”
Schrödinger's Sneetch Belly@rtodkelly.bsky.social · yesterdayIt's absolutely bonkers to me that this image led directly to this tweet.
Amen to this whole thread It is absolutely impeachable, and I would say unconstitutional
Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · yesterdayas longtime readers know i am a longtime hegseth hater, but i think bouie is right here to note that hegseth's remark that "trannies" are out of the military is, by itself, an impeachable offense obviously much else besides, but i want to dwell on this
War can have big environmental costs, in addition to the human and economic costs. These are photos of an exploded tanker that was carrying Russian oil, hit in the Black Sea by Ukrainian forces. Oil into the water and burning oil into the air, along with other materials.
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · yesterday🔥 Sochi. Claimed as Aframax Rio tanker was carrying crude oil from Novorossiysk to India and was almost fully loaded.
Good visual reminder that war not only has large human and economic costs, it can have environmental impacts as well.

can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base
Mike Drucker@mikedrucker.bsky.social · 2d agoJust saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager
