A Florida Republican congresswoman is blaming fearmongering on the left for the reluctance of hospital staff to give her the drugs she needed to end an ectopic pregnancy that threatened her life. Kat Cammack went to the emergency room in May 2024 where it was estimated she was five weeks into an ectopic pregnancy, there was no heartbeat and her life was at risk.

Hendrix's feathers are slowly growing back after being put on a healthier diet, but the post warned the parrot has one other issue: "If you adopt Hendrix, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson."

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett dropped her bid Tuesday to be the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, saying it was clear her “loud and proud” style of politics is not what her party’s congressional leadership wants. The announcement that she was withdrawing came as Democrats gathered to vote on who should fill the position vacated by the death of U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia, 75. Crockett said she plans to stick with her approach, which she said works for her constituents in the Dallas-based 30th district. One flashpoint in the race has been Crockett signalling she would pursue an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump if she ends up as chair of the panel. Many other Democrats had been wary of broaching impeachment and the other three contenders for the oversight job would not go as far as Crockett.
