Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) continued the right’s war on abortion access on Thursday. Joining the notoriously anti-abortion group Students for Life Action on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, Ogles debuted legislation to ban medication abortion nationwide on the 23rd anniversary of the Food and Drug Administration’s…

Pamela Lopez, a California-based lobbyist, joined numerous women working in state politics to speak out against the prevalence of sexual harassment in their line of work at the onset of the MeToo movement. In 2017, she testified before the legislature that she’d been assaulted by a state lawmaker the year before, and…

Ah, yet another story with no heroes but plenty of hilarity: In a Thursday, not-so-closed-door meeting among House Republicans, days before a government shutdown, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Speaker Kevin McCarthy apparently tore into each other, as Gaetz accused McCarthy of hiring social media influencers to trash…

Move over Barbenheimer!!! There’s a new cinematic juggernaut I can’t stop obsessing over and it’s baffling me how few people are discussing it. Earlier this week, Brad Pitt premiered his latest campaign with Italian appliance company De’Longhi, known for their high-end espresso machines. (One of the machines Pitt is…

During the second Republican presidential debate last night, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made a weird, reductive comment about Joe Biden’s policies, saying he can’t be trusted on education because he’s “sleeping with a member of the teachers union”—that would be first lady Jill Biden. For some reason, Mike…

It goes without saying that lawmakers responsible for abortion bans in states across the country know astonishingly little about pregnancy and reproduction. They’ve passed bills requiring abortion seekers to learn pseudoscience methods to “reverse” abortion pills, equating abortion with regret, and, just a few years…

First, the good news (at least, it’s good news if you too believe in life after love): Multi-hyphenate icon Cher has seemingly reunited with Alexander Edwards, whom she started dating in 2022. The pair attended Wednesday’s Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week, where they were photographed in multiple scenarios touching…

During the messy second Republican presidential debate on Wednesday night, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) nearly disintegrated while answering a question about abortion. Perhaps that’s because his campaign is on life support and the question came more than one hour and 45 minutes into the debate. But really, who’s to…

Looks like a lot of men in Oklahoma want to get snipped: When Planned Parenthood Great Plains announced a free vasectomy clinic last week on Facebook, the post was shared 6,000 times, and all the spots filled up in less than 48 hours. It’s not exactly surprising to see this from a state that has banned abortions and…

If there’s one thing that remains constant in this cruel world, it’s that all roads—especially the ones riddled with the petty woes of the uberwealthy—lead to Bravo. Don’t believe me? Hang onto your napkins, because Katy Perry’s most recent real estate drama involves a former Real Housewife famous for throwing one.

Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett (D) recently (and annoyingly) voted against multiple bills that sought to repeal abortion regulations in the state, thereby joining a troubling trend of supposedly “pro-choice” politicians looking to curb legislative gains in abortion access. Whitsett, who represents areas of Detroit…

At a certain point in the middle of Andrew Haigh’s gentlest of psychodramas, All of Us Strangers, I thought to myself, “Is there anything this movie can’t do?” It had already introduced me to the ghosts (of sorts) of the parents of protagonist Adam (Fleabag’s Andrew Scott), reminded me of the greatness of Frankie Goes…
