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.”

what a fantastic all-timer thread on this phenomena and the psychology behind it I think about this all the time and not understanding this is the difference between successful liminal horror, and just horrorslop. liminal horror is about the baked-in hostility of public spaces we millenials saw die

As budget director, Russell Vought has often ignored Congress by … not signing the checks. At other times, he’s been able to take money Congress intended for one thing and use it for something else by justifying it as a “national emergency.” Listen to our latest episode:
