Montana House spat: ‘Blood on your hands’ not that unusual By Paul J. Weber and Amy Beth Hanson | Associated PressHELENA, Mont. — The swift punishment brought down on Zooey Zephyr, a transgender lawmaker in Montana, began over words that others in American politics have used without hesitation or consequence: saying opponents have “blood” on their hands.The governor of Texas. A GOP congressman in Florida. A city councilwoman in Denver. Just in the past few years, they are among the elected officials who have chastised colleagues in government with the same pointed rhetoric almost word for word — accusing them of bearing responsibility for deaths — over everything from immigration policy to gun laws.None faced blowback, let alone retribution. But not Zephyr, who on Thursday began legislative exile after Montana Republicans barred her from the state House floor a week after saying those who voted to support a ban on gender-affirming care would have blood on their hands.“I don’t remember until now that there’s bee...

SF Giants shutout by Cardinals, fall to 1-5 in games started by Logan Webb SAN FRANCISCO — Call it poor timing. Call it bad luck. Call it another Giants loss with their ace on the mound.Their five-game winning streak came to an end on Thursday afternoon when Logan Webb lost his shutout in the seventh inning on yet another home run, his seventh allowed this year, in the Giants’ 6-0 loss to the Cardinals at Oracle Park.The Giants fell to 11-14 on the year. Surely the most hard to believe statistic of their young season is this: they’re 10-9 when anybody but Webb is on the mound and 1-5 when he pitches.It’s not like he’s been bad.The 26-year-old right-hander entered his sixth start of the year ranking in the top 20% of starting pitchers in walk rate, strikeout rate and chase rate. He was whipping in vicious sliders, evaporating changeups and mid-90s sinkers yet again on Thursday afternoon. He was (mostly) hitting his spots and in command of the at-bats.He took a shutout into the seventh, then found himself in a 2-2 count against Alex Burleson. Catcher B...
