Teenage girl suffers ‘devastating damage’ in shark attack while scallop hunting
A teenage girl has been seriously injured in a shark attack off Florida's north-western coast but is expected to survive, according to the authorities. Addison Bethea, 17, had been hunting for scallops on the coast off the Keaton Beach when a shark wrapped its jaws around her thigh. The shark was aggressive and attacked her several times, with Addison poking and punching at its eyes before her brother separated her from it and pulled her onto a stranger's boat. Her brother, Rhett Willingham - who is a firefighter and emergency medical technician - then applied a tourniquet to her leg to stem the blood loss. Ms Bethea suffered "serious injuries" in the attack and had to be airlifted to the trauma and emergency centre at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH), about 70 miles from the beach.

“She’s 10”: Child rape victim’s abortion denial sparks outrage on Twitter
A 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio was denied an abortion, sparking outrage online as many Republican-led states strip away reproductive rights following the Supreme Court 's overruling of Roe v. Wade . Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Indianapolis, received a call last Monday, three days after the Court's ruling, from a child abuse doctor in Ohio who had a 10-year-old girl in their office who was six weeks and three days pregnant, and therefore ineligible to receive an abortion in the state, according to a report from The Indianapolis Star . The child was unable to receive an abortion in Ohio because the state bans the procedure after six weeks when fetal cardiac activity may be detected. Some Republican-led states banned abortions at that point, claiming that a heartbeat can be detected within that timeframe. However, these so-called "fetal heartbeat" bans on abortion have faced criticism from medical experts , many of whom argue there is no heartbeat … [Read more...] about “She’s 10”: Child rape victim’s abortion denial sparks outrage on Twitter

GM calls off plan to sell India car plant to China’s Great Wall
General Motors (GM) said on Friday it had called off the sale of a shuttered Indian plant to China’s Great Wall Motor after they failed to obtain regulatory approvals, amid a tougher stance by New Delhi towards investments from Beijing.

The agreement, which was extended twice, expired on June 30. “We have been unable to obtain the required approvals within the time frame of the deal,” George Svigos, executive director of communications at GM International, told Reuters . “Our strategy in India remains unchanged and we will now explore further options for the sale of the site,” he said, adding the company “hopes to achieve a price that reflects the value of the asset”. “Great Wall Motor will keep its attention to the Indian market in the future and … [Read more...] about GM calls off plan to sell India car plant to China’s Great Wall

Biden Administration Seems Content With High Gas Prices As Americans’ Wallets Take A Hit
The Biden administration is doubling down on having Americans suffer through high gas prices in order to hit back at Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Americans across the country continue to struggle with high gas prices, with the national average sitting at over $4.80 a gallon as of Friday morning, according to AAA. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden and top officials within the administration have tried to fully skirt blame for the prices, dubbing the high costs “Putin’s Price Hike.” Although Russia’s invasion of Ukraine back in February – and Biden’s subsequent decision to ban Russian oil imports – have played a role in skyrocketing prices, the cost of gas had been rising long before the war. Now, as the midterm elections loom and questions swirl around whether Biden is the best man for the job in 2024, the administration is continuing to argue that the price Americans are paying is necessary.

Jon Stewart: This Is the Moment GOP Ditches Trump for DeSantis
On the same day that Joe Rogan endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for president in 2024, Jon Stewart convened a “special emergency session” of the podcast that seems to have replaced his Apple TV+ show to explain why he believes this week’s bombshell Jan. 6 Committee hearing will be the last straw for Donald Trump in the Republican Party. “I think the larger development from yesterday,” Stewart said, referring to Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, “is that more Republicans have decided Ron DeSantis is a better option. This is just too much.” While there was “nothing surprising” about how we now know Trump behaved on the day of the insurrection, the host said the difference now is that Republicans have a clear alternative. “Now they know where they’re going,” he said. “And they can steer away from Trump feeling confident. He’s lost his utility. They never fucking liked him. But he’s starting to lose his utility.” “They’re starting to realize they’ve got a guy who they … [Read more...] about Jon Stewart: This Is the Moment GOP Ditches Trump for DeSantis
