It’s an interesting article. I was unaware which states were hit the hardest by tariffs. I kind of figured my own state was on the list, but didn’t know the industries.

I was wondering how they reached such wildly different numbers.

The governor’s office referred CalMatters’ questions to the state’s Health and Human Services Agency. Rodger Butler, a spokesperson for the agency, said CARE Court has reached more than 10,000 people – a conclusion the administration came to by adding together the 5,484 petitions filed as of June, plus the 4,887 people who first engaged with CARE Court but ended up getting services elsewhere.

But he acknowledged that math could double-count people, as some individuals may have been the subject of a petition and then received services elsewhere. And he acknowledged that it includes people who had their petitions dismissed without receiving services, and those whose petitions are still being processed and have yet to receive services.

The photos, which circulated as advertisements for a sex store in San Francisco up until 2020, depict Gallant modeling in a leather posture collar and metal chains. The pictures were first reported by the New York Post.

Good for him!

“The photographs are authentic and were taken during a private, consensual photo session involving Chris and his then-partner, with whom he was in a committed four-year relationship,” Gallant’s attorney told the Post of his work as a model. “These photographs have no bearing on Chris’s record, qualifications, judgment, or ability to serve.”

So, absolutely nothing wrong, then.

However, Signorile then pointed out that court filings related to Miller’s ex-wife seeking of a restraining order against him included a text message threat that Miller made to Bernie Moreno.

“I’m sick of this, you know I never hurt our daughter. Take this however you want, everyone is going to get to know you better than your wife does,” Miller wrote to Bernie Moreno in the text. “Enjoy the ride brother, I wouldn’t have to do this if you could keep your lying daughter under control.”

Of course, this is just speculation. That definitely reads like a blackmail attempt, though, whatever the reason for it.

I hate 90% of the people in the comments on that article
