President Joe Biden’s fumbling withdrawal from engagement in a decades-long conflict will have disastrous consequences for the people he’s abandoned. His callousness toward so-called allies is stunning, and his betrayal will endanger the lives of millions of women. I’m not talking about Afghanistan. I’m talking about abortion.

The Whole Woman’s Health clinic in Fort Worth, Texas, is usually open until 5pm. Last night, like the chain’s three other locations across Texas, it was open until midnight, caring for the waiting room full of pregnant people seeking abortions before they no longer could. Outside, anti-abortion protesters camped out, shining lights in the windows as night fell and calling the police to report nonexistent violations. Inside, a doctor who had worked for the health center for decades began to cry. Читать дальше...

What We Do in the Shadows is a love story—the catch being that it’s between ancient vampires and a human minion who also happens to be a vampire slayer. It’s also set in Staten Island. And shot like a reality-TV series. And obsessed with supernatural creatures, over-the-top gore, and dirty sex. All of which makes it totally and hilariously absurd, and the best half-hour comedy on television.

A Florida talk radio host referred to himself as “Mr. Anti-Vax.” In Tennessee, a different conservative radio host recommended ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, instead of vaccines.

Kari Faux hasn’t even lived in Houston, the third-coast hub for hustlers and trunk poppers, for a year before leveling up. Last night, the Arkansas-born long-time indie rapper announced via Twitter that she’s launching her own record label, Lowkey Superstar, named after her most recent EP. “I’ve been doing music professionally for 10 years with no label support while taking huge financial/creative risks” she wrote, “so I said why not sign myself.”

Following Rome’s example, obelisks became urban status symbols. When New York was about to acquire its own obelisk for Central Park in the late 19th century, the New York Herald declared that “it would be absurd for the people of any great city to hope to be happy without an Egyptian Obelisk. Rome has had them this great while and so has Constantinople. Paris has one. London has one. If New York was without one, all those great sites might point the finger of scorn... Читать дальше...

While President Biden made a strong defense of his decision to leave Afghanistan and the execution of that withdrawal, declaring that he had brought America’s longest war to an overdue end, Republicans smell blood and some are already calling for his impeachment—a political threat that could quickly become a practical one should the party retake the House next year.

As their legislative wish list languishes in a deadlocked Senate, many Democrats are more anxious than ever to jettison the filibuster—and they’re hoping the 2022 midterm elections will bring to the Senate more supporters of changing that long-standing rule.

Whatever the Supreme Court decides to do on Tuesday, Texas Republicans are ready to finally overturn Roe v. Wade. As of September 1, SB8, which Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law, will only ban abortions at 6 weeks, with no exception for rape or incest, while targeting anyone who “aids or abets” another person’s abortion. The idea is to make anyone who helps a woman get an abortion a legal target, even her Uber driver, with any citizen... Читать дальше...

No American political leader has had more high-level experience dealing with the war in Afghanistan than Joe Biden. He was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee when the war began, and one of the first Senators to visit Kabul once US troops were on the ground. As vice president, he became the highest-level U.S. official to actively argue for dramatically down-sizing our mission there and focusing exclusively on counter-terrorism. President Obama overruled Biden... Читать дальше...
