• Blake Masters and Abe Hamadeh are in the midst of a nasty primary for a House seat in Arizona.
• Trump's new VP pick — Sen. JD Vance — has endorsed Masters, while Trump has endorsed Hamadeh.
• Vance downplayed the disagreement. "Trump knows that Blake's a friend," he said.

On Monday, former President Donald Trump announced Sen. JD Vance as his running mate.

The freshman Ohio senator won out over other candidates including Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, and Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota.

"I have not gotten a rose, or trinket, or any other gift," Vance told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday. "But look, I mean, I have no reason to think that reporting is false. I think that they are narrowing the list down."

Despite his past as a staunch opponent of Trump, Vance was the most ideologically aligned with him of the finalists. He was among the first GOP senators to endorse his 2024 campaign, and he has gone to lengths that few others have gone to defend Trump during his 18 months in the Senate.

However, there is one place where there's daylight between the two men: The Republican primary in Arizona's 8th congressional district, where Abe Hamadeh and Blake Masters are engaged in perhaps the ugliest GOP primary of the cycle.

Vance endorsed Masters, a friend who shares much of the Ohio senator's same "New Right" beliefs, in October, several weeks before Trump endorsed Hamadeh. Vance and Masters both ran for Senate in their respective states in 2022 with the financial backing of right-wing tech billionaire Peter Thiel: Vance won his race, while Masters did not.

Vance said last week that he's spoken with Trump about the race. "We've talked about it," Vance said. "You know, I endorsed Blake very, very early, before Trump got involved in the race. I mean, Trump knows that Blake's a friend."

The campaign has since become ugly, with Masters running ads portraying Hamadeh — an Arab American with a Muslim father — as sympathetic to Islamic terrorists.

"Seems pretty dirty," Vance said with a laugh. "Unusually messy for a Republican primary where you have a reasonably safe seat."

Masters has also featured Trump prominently in his campaign materials and ads, despite not having his endorsement. One recent Masters ad notes that Trump endorsed his Senate campaign, prompted accusations that Masters was trying to mislead voters and reportedly spurring a take-down request for Trump campaign manager Susie Wiles.

"Well, he's trying to win, right?" Vance said when asked what he thought of the way Masters was conducting his campaign. "He's trying to win, and you're going to get pretty aggressive sometimes and try to draw contrasts. He has to draw contrasts, he has to give people a reason to vote for him."

Vance also suggested that he had little issue if Hamadeh, Trump's preferred candidate, ultimately prevails in the July 30 primary.

"I think you got two good candidates running there, and we'll see what happens," Vance said. "They're going to fight out their primary, and I think we're going to get a good congressman out of that."

• "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Shannen Doherty died Saturday at age 53.
• Her publicist said she "lost her battle" with cancer after 9 years, including some in remission.
• Doherty previously said doctors might've discovered the breast cancer sooner if her insurance hadn't lapsed.

Beverly Hills, 90210 star Shannen Doherty had, in recent years, become an outspoken voice for cancer awareness and treatment, speaking openly about her diagnosis and plans for after her death.

As recently as April, she said on her podcast that she felt hopeful about the possibility for medical treatments to "prolong" her life.

But she also said she'd taken some time in recent months to "take stock of my life and shift my priorities," by downsizing, decluttering, and spending more time with her mom, "just in case."

On Saturday, Doherty died "surrounded by her loved ones," according to her publicist.

"It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease," Leslie Sloane said in a statement.

Doherty was first diagnosed with an invasive form of breast cancer in 2015. She went into remission in 2017, but in 2019 she was rediagnosed with metastatic stage 4 breast cancer, the most advanced form of the disease.

By 2023, Doherty shared on her podcast that her cancer had spread into her bones, but she said she was "not done living yet."

And Doherty always wondered what might've happened if her cancer had initially been diagnosed a little bit earlier.

Doherty said she didn't go to the doctor for a year before her diagnosis

In 2015, Doherty sued her former accounting firm, Tanner Mainstain Glynn and Johnson, alleging that it didn't pay her health insurance premium to the Screen Actors Guild in late 2013, and her health coverage in 2014 lapsed as a result.

(The company denied Doherty's allegation, telling ABC News that "the claim that Tanner Mainstain caused her to be uninsured, prevented her from seeking medical care, or somehow contributed to her cancer is patently false.")

By the time Doherty received her cancer diagnosis in early 2015, she had "invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node," according to her lawsuit. "Had she been insured and able to visit her doctor, the cancer could potentially have been stopped, thus obviating the need for the future treatment (including mastectomy and chemotherapy)."

The matter was never settled in court though, because Doherty reached a confidential settlement with the now-acquired accounting firm in 2016, according to US Weekly.

Would an earlier mammogram have helped?

Many women with breast cancer display no symptoms until later stages of the disease, which is why the American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammograms to every woman over age 40, and even earlier screenings for patients at high risk, like those with a family history of breast cancer, or certain genetic mutations.

Given that Doherty turned 44 in 2015, it's likely that her doctor would have recommended some kind of breast cancer screening that year, but it's impossible to know exactly how Doherty's diagnosis might've played out if she had visited the doctor earlier.

When breast cancer is detected early, the survival rate is near 100%, but no statistic can ever perfectly predict what will happen to an individual patient. Doherty recently told her best friend that when she died she wanted to be cremated, and to have her ashes mixed with her dog and her dad.

• Olivia Reeves, 21, is competing in her first Olympics after setting three world records last year.
• She trains four times a week and visualizes herself smashing each lift before competing.
• This story is part of "Road to Paris," a series chronicling athletes' and spectators' experiences at the Olympic Games.

Olivia Reeves never set out to make the Olympics. But at 21, the Team USA athlete is heading to Paris and is tipped to win gold in women's weightlifting.

Reeves started weightlifting at age 12 and has trained four times a week ever since.

"I probably never missed more than two weeks of training," Reeves told Business Insider.

Reeves now competes in the 156-pound, or 71-kilogram, weight class and holds the junior world record for all three Olympic weightlifting categories: snatch, clean and jerk, and total.

A snatch is performed by lifting a barbell from the ground to overhead in one smooth motion. A clean and jerk is a two-part lift that involves lifting a barbell from the ground to the shoulders (the clean), then lifting the barbell overhead (the jerk). A weightlifter's total is the combined weight of their heaviest snatch and clean and jerk.

She broke three records in December when she lifted a combined total of 498 pounds at the International Weightlifting Federation Grand Prix II in Doha, Qatar.

She just set an American women's weightlifting record of 597 pounds total at the 2024 USA Weightlifting's National Championships Week in June.

Reeves' secret to success? Prioritizing rest, balance, and enjoyment.

As she prepares for her first Olympic Games, Reeves is still a full-time student majoring in sociology at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and doesn't follow a hugely strict diet or sleep schedule. She had pancakes with eggs and coffee for breakfast the day that she spoke with BI and usually goes to bed at about 10 p.m.

Most competitive weightlifters train up to nine times a week, Steve Fauer, her longtime coach, told BI. But after years of training athletes, he's learned it's possible to achieve more with fewer sessions. It enables them to lift heavier weights more often, as they have time to recover in between workouts, and prevents burnout, he added.

"She still comes in enthusiastic nine years later. So I know I'm not burning her out. I'm prolonging her career as long as possible. She's having a good time," he said.

"I think we found a good balance between rest and work and longevity," he added. "We're just trying to do a little better than what we did yesterday. And if that means that we end up being a world champion, then we're a world champion."

While natural ability has helped her succeed, her enthusiasm for weightlifting and drive to show up and keep getting better are what make her unique, Fauer said.

"She just enjoys it so much. She just wants to do better than what she's done before," he said.

Reeves shared with BI how she's preparing for the Olympics.

Integrating rest into training

Reeves' typical two-hour sessions include a snatch variation, a clean-and-jerk variation, and a squat. She works on her technique and lifts on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Outside training, she does hot yoga once a week for fun and mobility and goes hiking with her dog.

"I would say that's probably the extent of my physical activity," she said. "Rest plays a big part."

As the Paris Games draw closer, Fauer said Reeves would probably go down to two or three sessions a week to give her as much time to rest as possible. This is what they've done for previous competitions, and they plan to change as little as possible.

This less-is-more approach is endorsed by many experts in the fitness world. There's evidence to suggest that "junk volume," which is exercise that doesn't improve strength or build muscle, wastes time and energy and can be an obstacle to progress.

Having a work-life balance

While she prioritizes her sport, Reeves likes having other things in her life, like school, to give her perspective.

"It's really encompassing to have just weightlifting," she said.

It's clear that she tries to apply minimal pressure to herself and keep each part of her life balanced. When asked what advice she would give to someone trying to reach a goal, she said: "Be patient, find something that you enjoy, and then it'll work out."

Fauer applies this kind of balance and realism to how he coaches Reeves. If she's having an off day, for example, he won't push it.

"You just have to really control yourself as a coach to not always want to push," he said.

Visualizing success

To ease her nerves, Reeves is trying to see the Olympics as the same as any other weightlifting competition.

"For me, almost dumbing it down or minimizing it a little bit helps take the pressure off," she said. "Reminding myself that I've done it before — I can do it again."

Like many elite athletes, Reeves uses visualization, a technique in which you imagine yourself smashing your target.

She researches the venue beforehand and watches others compete there so she can closely picture what it will be like on the day.

"I think about how I'm going to walk up the stairs, how I'm going to put chalk on my hands, and exactly how I'm going to walk up to the bar," she said.

On competition day, Reeves wants to feel like she can rely on the autopilot she has meticulously trained.

"Just take a breath. Do a snatch," she said. "That's what I repeat to myself."

• Dennis Dabney, 57, supercommutes from Texas to Arizona nearly every week.
• He said it was the best thing he could've done for career advancement.
• But it can take a financial toll, and it can be difficult to be away from family.

Dennis Dabney, 57, is no stranger to travel.

After serving in the Air Force for 26 years, Dabney started working for his current employer in 2016 in Virginia. As a military family, his wife and two children were used to moving, so when his company asked him three years later to relocate to Fort Worth, Texas, that's what they did.

Then 2022 rolled around, and Dabney was offered a promotion within his company to be a program director — in Phoenix. Dabney was excited about the opportunity, and he viewed it as the perfect chance to advance his career and boost his income.

His wife and two teenage kids, however, had set down roots in Fort Worth and didn't want to move again, and the same applied to his 88-year-old mother, who lived with his family.

So Dabney made the decision with his family to purchase an apartment in Phoenix, live there during the workweek, and commute back to Fort Worth on the weekends.

"I couldn't do this without the support of my family and my wife. And that has been crucial to decisions that I've made over the years about where to go and where to work," Dabney told Business Insider.

"You have to continue to have open communication with your family unit because things change, attitudes change, and you just have to figure out when things are getting out of hand or when things are going smoothly," he said.

Every other Friday, Dabney gets the day off from work, and that's typically when he chooses to book a 2 ½-hour flight back home using a budget airline such as Spirit or Frontier. His family also sometimes visits him while he's in Phoenix. While he said his company helped him with relocating costs, he estimated the supercommute was costing him roughly an extra $20,000 each year.

Supercommuting has grown increasingly popular over the past few years, with more Americans taking advantage of hybrid work environments to opt for longer commutes to work to boost their earnings. The American Community Survey data from the US Census Bureau found that, as of 2021, 3.1 million Americans fell into the supercommute category, or a journey to work that takes 90 minutes or longer.

Dabney loves his job, and while it can be difficult to be separated from his family, he's grateful they allowed him to pursue this opportunity. But he recognizes it's not a possibility for everyone.

"It's just my mindset, my background, and how to leverage all of that and learn how to create the quality of life that I want," Dabney said. "And it's just been a growing and development phase for me in figuring out what I want and what the art of the possible is."

'The whole experience has been very gratifying'

This wasn't Dabney's first experience with a supercommute. Prior to his new role in Phoenix, he was driving five hours to Louisiana every week for a different position in his company, and he made sure to come home every weekend to see his family and support his kids at their various sports tournaments.

"It was a nonstarter ripping my kids out of high school to go to Louisiana and then eventually Phoenix," Dabney said. "We moved quite a bit, but after we got to Texas, I got a clear signal from my family that they didn't want to move anymore."

If his kids were younger, Dabney said, being a supercommuter wouldn't have been possible for him. Doing so at this stage in his life allowed him to become an executive, earn more money to support his family, and find a job that gave him a sense of purpose — helping him feel confident in his decision to work more than a thousand miles away from home.

"The whole experience has been very gratifying," he said. "Having the experience to live in another part of the country that I probably wouldn't have lived in before has also been good."

Of course, the long commute has cons. Dabney said the airfare and second home were expensive, and he recommended that those considering a supercommute be transparent with their company about negotiating a compensation package that could help cover some of those costs.

He also said that, given his military background, he was used to traveling, but those who might not do so as frequently should consider whether they can manage hours each week in a car or on a plane.

As BI previously reported, data from the Stanford economists Nick Bloom and Alex Finan showed commutes of at least 75 miles increased 32% after the height of the pandemic, with hybrid work expanding living options.

It's a signal that more people may start considering the lifestyle Dabney has taken on — and while he said he had "no regrets," he cautioned that those taking on a long commute should have full clarity on its implications.

"I think the way the company looks at it, you are making a choice not to relocate your family to wherever the job site is, and you are deciding on your own to do the supercommuting away from your family," Dabney said. "It took me a while to realize that they don't really owe you anything else."

• America faces deep uncertainty in light of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
• To feel horror or anxiety watching an act of political violence is normal, a psychologist told BI.
• But stepping away from the phone may not always be realistic advice, the expert said.

The political climate in the US was already tense amid the 2024 presidential election season.

The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump may have just kicked things into overdrive.

In light of a major act of political violence, Dr. Katherine Porterfield, a clinical psychologist with the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma at Columbia School of Journalism, told Business Insider that it's normal to feel deeply uncomfortable emotions.

As world leaders and politicians call for peace and unity, a poll found 50% of Americans believe political violence is a "very big problem" following the shooting at a Trump campaign event on Saturday that left two people dead.

An alarming 67% of Americans polled said the current political climate makes such violence "more likely" than normal.

Over 60% of those respondents who indicated that political violence is a "very big problem" were 65 years old and above, meaning they would have lived through the infamous assassinations of people like President John F. Kennedy and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s.

"To see any act of violence for a human is going to create a sensory reaction that could be fear, horror, disgust, anxiety, and that's simply the nature of the human being," Porterfield said, adding that the assassination attempt was "very photographed" which can be a jarring experience to witness.

However, she said, simply trying to put down the phone and look away may not always be realistic advice for some people.

So, what are some practical steps the American public can take?

Pause and be aware

Porterfield told BI that the first step is to take a moment to "discern" — pay attention to yourself and acknowledge what your reaction is to distressing news.

Pausing to recognize your emotions is the first step in determining whether you're having a normal reaction to an event or a more severe one.

It'll allow people to be aware of their three domains, Porterfield said: the biological, the psychological, and the social. Otherwise known as the biopsychosocial, she said.

"Once you start paying attention, it really breaks down to three domains, which is your body, the biological; the psychological, which is your feelings and thoughts, 'How are you managing them?'; and then the social. 'Am I turning outward in a way that's health and giving me and other people support?'" Porterfield said.

Taking care of those domains will depend on the individual.

Exercise or simply getting up from the computer desk is a simple way to give the body a "biological break," Porterfield said.

Porterfield said that some people may turn to prayer or meditation to address a psychological need, while others may turn to humor.

For the social domain, people may want to turn to their coworkers or personal relationships to check in on each other.

When emotions become so powerful that they overwhelm coping capabilities — like an inability to work or sleep — seeking help through others, including professional help such as therapy, are great options, Porterfield said.

Control

In the past five years, people have lived through a pandemic, several wars, and now, an assassination attempt on a former president.

Feelings of hopelessness and despair may come as a result, so it's important to take stock in understanding what one can and can't immediately control in their lives, Porterfield said.

"There is some value in looking and saying, 'There are things that I can't do anything about, and there are some things that are more action-focused — I can do something — and that's what I'm going to focus on,'" she said. "And those other things — I'm going to have to recognize are painful."

"That's why therapists all around the world are helping people usually tolerate their feelings," Porterfield added. "Because sometimes that's all you can do."

On doomscrolling

In the digital age of social media and instant live news updates, people can easily be sucked into an endless cycle of doomscrolling on their cellphones.

But devices have become an integral part of human lives, so it may not always be practical to tell someone to stop looking at their phones, Porterfield said.

"I think it's not helpful when we say you shouldn't look at your phone during times of crisis because that's not really realistic," she said.

The psychologist added that staying informed through reliable, trusted news sources can be helpful for some people.

The important distinction, Porterfield said, is to remember the three domains and ensure that you're taking care of your basic needs by simple acts like standing up or getting some air — actions that would help interrupt endless scrolling.

"That's the kind of thing I would encourage people to do to pause and say, 'Wait a minute, do I really need an hour or two of this?' Maybe it's time to stand up."

• An ex-Air Force engineer faces charges related to a deadly C-130 crash caused by a worn propeller.
• Investigators found James Fisher nixed a key propeller inspection because it was "time-consuming."
• Families of the victims said Fisher's arrest seven years after the crash "opens old wounds."

Michael and Teresa Lohrey know that July 10 will always hurt.

On that day in 2017, the two parents lost their 30-year-old son, Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Ryan Lohrey, when the KC-130T — call sign Yanky 72 — he was aboard crashed in rural Mississippi due to what was later identified as a defective propeller blade that came loose. He and 15 Marines aboard the aircraft were killed.

But seven years to the day after those service members' deaths, Military.com reported that a former Air Force employee was arrested this month, and the federal government alleges that he was responsible for removing a key inspection procedure that could have detected the issue with the propeller. The revelation, seven years after Ryan's death, was a lot to take in.

"It kind of blindsided us," Teresa said of the news, adding, "We're not doing good." Her husband, Michael, said no advanced notice was given on the latest development in the case.

"It's obviously been seven years," Michael said in an interview with Military.com. "You don't ever get over it; it's like losing a child in a murder. Until the case ends, you don't ever get over it."

James Michael Fisher, 67, the former lead engineer tasked with C-130 propeller maintenance at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, was arrested July 2 as part of the investigation into the crash in Mississippi. He was charged with two counts related to false statements and two counts of obstruction of justice as officials continue to probe the cause of the crash.

Federal prosecutors said in an indictment that Fisher "was also one of the key decision-makers who removed the critical inspection procedure in August 2011" — a procedure that might have been able to detect deficiencies in the propeller before it was placed back into service.

The latest development in the criminal investigation caught many of the families off guard, Kelsey McCarty, the co-director of the Yanky 72 Memorial Committee, told Military.com in an interview. Many families and supporters are gathering this weekend around the seventh anniversary to commemorate the lives of the service members who died in the crash, just days after many of the details of the former employee's arrest have gone public.

"It adds a different dimension to it, and it kind of opens old wounds, I'd say," McCarty said. "All the families were surprised by this."

A criminal investigation into the July 10, 2017, crash was opened in 2020, according to the indictment that was made public this week. Aviation and safety experts told Military.com that it's seemingly rare for criminal charges to be filed in connection to airplane crashes, and following the paper trail to identify a person or people responsible is an arduous investigative process.

"It is extremely time-consuming and resource intensive," Greg Feith, a former senior air safety investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, told Military.com. "And, of course, it takes a long time."

Despite completing a crash investigation and a military investigation following the crash, federal agents still thought there was more to the case and began digging into the maintenance culture at Robins Air Force Base.

One key finding federal authorities discovered was correspondence in which a maintenance technician supervisor wanted to remove an inspection because it was "very time-consuming," the indictment states. Agents found an "August 19, 2011, email in which Fisher stated that he had 'no problem' removing the penetrant inspections" — a key way to identify deficiencies in a propeller blade.

Investigators claimed in the indictment that Fisher "attempted to obstruct the criminal investigation by intentionally withholding documents showing that he played a crucial role in removing the critical inspection procedure and providing false statements to federal agents in order to cover up his role in removing the critical inspection procedure."

Retired Col. J.F. Joseph, a Marine Corps pilot who flew the KC-130 himself and is now an aviation consultant, said the information in the indictment is concerning.

"In our business in aviation, if you make a decision based on saving time, money, or convenience, you've probably made the wrong choice," Joseph told Military.com. "But obviously, from a safety culture standpoint, it's incredible that somebody would take a shortcut like this for such a dynamic component as a propeller on a C-130."

The propeller blade, which was not thoroughly inspected, eventually was placed on Yanky 72, which led to the "catastrophic sequence of events resulting in the midair breakup of the aircraft and its uncontrollable descent and ultimate destruction," a Marine Corps crash investigation detailed.

Fisher did not return a phone call or text message seeking comment at a phone number listed for him in public records. Multiple calls to him this week were also not answered.

Service members killed in the crash along with Lohrey were: Maj. Caine M. Goyette; Capt. Sean E. Elliott; Gunnery Sgt. Mark A. Hopkins; Gunnery Sgt. Brendan C. Johnson; Staff Sgt. Joshua M. Snowden; Sgt. Julian M. Kevianne; Sgt. Owen J. Lennon; Cpl. Daniel I. Baldassare; Cpl. Collin J. Schaaff; Staff Sgt. Robert H. Cox; Staff Sgt. William J. Kundrat; Sgt. Chad E. Jenson; Sgt. Talon R. Leach; Sgt. Joseph J. Murray; and Sgt. Dietrich A. Schmieman.

Like many of the men aboard Yanky 72, Ryan Lohrey left behind a large and loving family — including two children and his wife, whom he married just a month before the crash, his obituary stated.

"He was dedicated to what he did," Michael Lohrey said. "He loved what he did; every single day, he loved it." When asked whether Fisher's arrest feels like justice at all, Michael Lohrey said, "Absolutely not."

• Russia has lost at least 100 of its T-90M tanks in the war in Ukraine.
• Oryx, a military analysis website which relies on visual evidence for confirmation, recently reported the milestone.
• Putin has praised the T-90M as the "world's best tank." 

A top Russian tank touted by Russian President Vladimir Putin as the "world's best" has suffered at least 100 losses in the war in Ukraine, according to open-source information.

The losses were recorded by Oryx, an open-source intelligence site that relies on visual evidence to confirm and track war losses on both sides. More T-90Ms may have also been lost in combat but not recorded. Business Insider was unable to independently verify the information.

Losses, per the site's analysis, include destroyed, damaged, and captured vehicles.

The significant losses of the T-90M in combat highlight how the war has threatened heavy armor on both sides, even higher-end systems.

Earlier this year, the Defense Ministry of Ukraine posted footage of a US-made Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle overwhelming a Russian T-90M tank with fire from its 25mm chain gun.

The withering fire eventually incapacitated the vehicle. The incident was just one of the vehicle's many losses.

Drones and loitering munitions, as well as mines and anti-tank missiles, are perhaps the greater threat, as these have also destroyed top Western armor provided to Ukraine, such as the Challenger, Leopard, and Abrams tanks.

Just as Ukraine has been doing with some of its tanks in this threat environment, Russia has equipped some T-90Ms with protective cope cages to shield them against anti-tank weapons and drones. The latter has become a defining threat in this war and has limited how tanks and other vehicles operate on the battlefield.

The cages don't always work, though, as video footage of some T-90M losses have shown. Sometimes the explosive first-person-view drones make it through.

Across the board, Russia's tank losses have been staggering in this conflict. Per Oryx's analysis, Russia has lost over 3,000 tanks so far.

Putin has touted the T-90M as "the world's best tank," praising its weapons, targeting capability, and armor.

"As soon as it approaches positions, no chance is left for anyone or anything," he said in 2023.

The tank boasts a powerful engine, panoramic sight with rangefinder, thermal imagining, multi-layered armor, and ammunition placed outside the unit to prevent a catastrophic explosion.

One of the first reported losses of the advanced T-90M occurred just months into the war, when a Ukrainian journalist shared a photo of the charred vehicle in Kharkiv. At the time, the T-90M was considered among the most technologically advanced battle vehicles in Russia's arsenal.
