President Joe Biden and follow Democrats gleefully celebrated Ohio’s successful initiative on Tuesday to block bans on abortion by adding protections to the state constitution. The approval of the state-wide ballot initiative to protect abortion is the latest result after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Virginia Democrat Danica Roem was projected to win her election Tuesday, according to Decision Desk HQ, becoming the commonwealth’s first openly transgender state senator and the first out transgender person elected to a state Senate anywhere in the South. Roem, 39, defeated former Fairfax County police detective Bill Woolf, a conservative Republican endorsed by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who vowed to bar transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams if elected.

Ohioans voted on Tuesday to adopt abortion and reproductive health rights into their state constitution, with a majority voting yes on Issue 1.

The title says it, but there is a Sarcastic (well-deserved) remark about Anaryllis Fox at the end of the one minute clip.

Ohio voters approved Issue 1 tonight after a monumental abortion battle in the Buckeye State. With 48 percent of the vote counted, Ohio voted 56% to 44% for Issue 1, which will make killing babies in abortions a so-called “right” in the state constitution. The result was not surprising given how abortion advocates bought the vote. Also, Ohio voters also voted today on a ballot measure to legalize marijuana. That very likely increased turnout of liberal voters who were more likely to vote for abortion. The pro-abortion side dominated fundraising – with reports towards the end of the election showing...

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Tuesday on “Deadline” that she believed Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) hold on military promotions over the Pentagon’s abortion policy showed him to be “one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the earth.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “How do you fix this and get the military back to readiness, back to functional?”

The White House took pleasure in gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron’s (R) failed bid in Kentucky at the hands of incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear (D). Reposting a comment from Cameron on X from November 4, White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates slammed Cameron for championing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and ripping President Joe Biden’s so-called “Bidenomics.”

MADISON, WI - Controversial conservative commentator Ben Shapiro returned to UW-Madison campus for the first time since 2016, sparking new local conversations about freedom of speech and rhetoric surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict. Shapiro titled his talk Monday "Stop Being Apologetic about the Superiority of Western Values," part of Young America's Foundation's Free to Choose Lecture Series.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says the package of proposed border security reforms Republicans unveiled Monday is a “total non-starter” that will only imperil the chances of passing money for the war in Ukraine. He slammed the proposal for being largely drawn from the House-passed Secure the Border Act of 2023, which didn’t pick up a single Democratic vote in the lower chamber.“If Republicans inject partisanship into otherwise bipartisan priorities, that is only going to make it harder to avoid a shutdown,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “A group of Senate Republicans released a proposal for border security...

While the 14th Amendment’s application of birthright citizenship to animals is subject to much debate, let’s stipulate that it doesn’t even matter if the panda has US citizenship. We still should not return baby Xiao Qi Ji to Xi Jinping’s China. If the administration does not step in, our miracle panda is heading to China with its parents in a few days–moved up from the end of the year. To add insult to injury, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hosted festivities at our taxpayer-funded Smithsonian zoo in our nation’s capital along with American defense companies. Throughout history, China has leveraged...

Luke 14:15-24 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of a man giving a great dinner. His sending out of servants to gather those invited parallels our call to be evangelizers. The risen Lord calls the Apostles and us to go forth and to do the work of gathering in: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”—that is, draw them into the very dynamics of the divine life. Hans Urs von Balthasar has noticed that, in the biblical context, mission and identity are tightly bound together.The heroes of Scripture don’t really know who they are until they have...

Glamour Magazine ignited controversy after naming transgender model Geena Rocero one of its "Women of the Year" last week, naming the model among a group of those meant to "honor [their] favorite feminist heroes and game-changers in their field." "Say hello to @GeenaRocero, one of Glamour’s 2023 Women of the Year. Model, activist, producer, and author, Rocero is a force to be reckoned with— and she’s just getting started," the magazine wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, last Wednesday, and included a photo of the model with the post
