In her statement, Boebert said that she will not "discuss this matter any further in public" in deference to their kids. The Republican previously announced that her oldest son, Tyler, is about to have a son, making her a 36-year-old grandmother.
☆ The Sunday Read: ‘Why Are These Italians Massacring Each Other With Oranges?’
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Jon Mooallem | Jack D Isidoro | Aaron Esposito | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Inside them were oranges. Oranges, the fruit. Over the next three days, 8,000 people in Ivrea would throw 900 tons of oranges at one another, one orange at a time, while tens of thousands of other people watched. They would throw the oranges very hard, very viciously, often while screaming profanities at their targets or yowling like Braveheart. And on that day in February, three years of constrained energy was due to explode all at once.
☆ How Putin's Russian goon squad used Mexican gig workers to troll an American election
  + stars: | 2023-02-18 | by ( Mattathias Schwartz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +25 min
Posting to social media sounded like an easy work-from-home gig, so he applied. This post from the Prigozhin-backed Social CMS network in Mexico referred to America as "we." He verified his account by providing chat transcripts, screenshots, contracts, and internal company documents. But just because Social CMS didn't yield an immediate, large-scale impact doesn't mean it should be ignored. "I didn't know who are you," wrote the person who is listed in the corporate directory as Prigozhin's media liaison.
☆ MTG yelled profanities and acted 'irrational' when being briefed about the Chinese spy balloon, report says
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene went off the rails during an intel briefing, a report said. She shouted expletives during the briefing on a Chinese spy balloon, the report claimed. "When she got to ask questions," the lawmaker told the outlet, "she was yelling out saying 'bullshit,' and, you know, 'I don't believe you.'" I was I think the second to last person, and I chewed them out just like the American people would've," Greene told The Hill. When reports emerged last week that a Chinese spy balloon had been detected flying over the US, Greene criticised President Joe Biden's response and called for him to order the balloon to be shot down immediately.
☆ Demetrius Haley didn't tell Tyre Nichols why he'd been pulled over. The Memphis cop was talking on the phone during the stop, documents show.
  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Haven Orecchio-Egresitz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Former Memphis officer Demetrius Haley never told Tyre Nichols why he was pulled over. Department records say Haley approached Nichols while talking on the phone in a black hoodie. He yelled profanities, despite no evidence that Nichols ever swore at or threatened officers. "You never told the driver the purpose of the vehicle stop or that he was under arrest." A day after Nichols' beating, the department released a statement describing a "confrontation" with an alleged reckless driver, later identified as Tyre Nichols.
☆ Tyre Nichols’ brutal beating by police shown on video
  + stars: | 2023-01-27 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
The Nichols family legal team has likened the assault to the infamous 1991 police beating of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King. Security camera footage shows three officers surrounding Nichols as he lies in the street cornered between police cars, with a fourth officer nearby. The body camera footage shows a first-person view of one of them reaching down and tying his shoe. The footage shows a number of other officers standing around after the beating. During the traffic stop, the video shows the officers were "already ramped up, at about a 10," she said.

The daughter of House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., was arrested during a protest in downtown Boston on Saturday and charged with assault after a police officer was injured. Clark tweeted Sunday about her daughter's arrest, saying, “I love Riley, and this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting. An officer was hit in the face and was seen bleeding from the nose and mouth, police said. Clark’s daughter was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, destruction or injury of personal property, damage of property by graffiti or tagging, and resisting arrest, and is expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court, police said. Clark has expressed concern publicly for her daughter, who she says identifies as nonbinary, in light of recent incidents of bigotry against the transgender community.
☆ ‘It’s Been Awkward.’ Pickleball Is Pitting Neighbor Against Neighbor in Noise-Conscious Communities.

It was fun and games at first. But when pickleballers took over the tennis court at River Canyon Estates in Bend, Ore., for hours on end, bringing boom boxes, hurling profanities and letting dogs run loose—not to mention the constant pok-pok-pok of balls hitting paddles—the neighbors said enough is enough. Fearing a lawsuit, the board of the homeowners association enlisted a professional mediator. It commissioned a sound study and considered ways to reduce pickleball noise—to no avail. In February, the board banned pickleball from the community’s tennis court.

☆ Mike Pence wouldn't give a straight answer when asked if he thought Trump is a 'good man'
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Cheryl Teh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Mike Pence didn't give a straight answer when asked if he still thinks Trump is a good man. Pence was asked about a 2016 RNC speech, where he called Trump a "good man." NPR's Steve Inskeep asked Pence on Monday about a 2016 speech the latter made when accepting the nomination for the vice presidency. Inskeep brought up how, in that speech, Pence called Trump a "good man." Some Trump supporters erected makeshift gallows and chanted "hang Mike Pence" during the Capitol riot — actions that Trump privately expressed support for, the January 6 panel revealed.

Hisham Kassab and his two sons are suing Delta Air Lines over their removal from a 2019 flight. Delta Air Lines said it intended to defend itself against the claims. While waiting to board the Baltimore flight, Kassab entered into a discussion with a Delta gate agent, who he said was "being cantankerous." The family were initially permitted to board the plane, but shortly after taking their seats they were removed from the flight. It is not known if the family were put on a later Delta flight.

Pence dodged a question about whether he would vote for Trump again in 2024. He was asked by a student if he would vote for Trump if his ex-boss became the 2024 Republican nominee for president. Pence paused for a moment before smiling and saying: "Well, there might be somebody else I'd prefer more." The Post spoke to Pence's advisers, who said the former vice president has turned down several invitations to visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. A spokesman for Pence did not immediately respond to Insider's question on Pence's intention to run for president in 2024.

Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterAmong more than 30 trans candidates tracked by the National Association of Travestis and Transgender People (ANTRA), about 80% have received threats or been intimidated during this election cycle period, said researcher Bruna Benavides. The candidates most targeted by political violence and threats tend to be Black women and LGBT people, especially trans women, said researcher Cesar Munoz of Human Rights Watch. "Attacks on trans candidates, especially threats against transfeminine identities are much more intense, violent and numerous than against any other candidate," said Benavides of Rio de Janeiro-based ANTRA. "Political parties often don't take these threats seriously, especially against trans women," Munoz said. Reuters interviewed eight trans and travesti candidates who reported threats and intimidation on the campaign trail.
