Narrator voice: "When threatened, the lithium-ion battery can expand up to twice its usual size"

A group called Moms for Liberty wants to ban "offensive" books. Something about that sentence confuses me.

Best part here: #MSNBC didn’t use a photo of the scumbag. The human in this story is Ms. Carroll. The scumbag of any report should never get free publicity like that.

Dear YKWYA,

Yeah, it used to be shocking, absurd, even cute. But you obviously realize how stupid you are being. It has become tiresome. Like a toddler crying for attention. We are done with it, so just knock it off, all of you.

Sincerely,
— rational people

Texas is banning Kate Cox from getting a life saving abortion—claiming her fetus has rights.

Simultaneously Texas is fighting a lawsuit by a prison guard who was 7 mo pregnant, had pains, was denied a break, & the fetus was stillborn—arguing a fetus has no rights.

Vote the GOP out.

1: the check is in the mail
2: I won't [sexual vulgarity redacted]
3: It's really about abortion
