Kansas election kills it on the right to have an abortion, stuns Reps, gives the signal this could be a huge boost to Dems in the mid terms  

Indeed. When even deep red Kansas comes out definitively for bodily autonomy, it should really punch a hole in the narrative that this is some hotly contested issue that evenly divides consensus rather than a long ago decided issue that a minority of authoritarians are trying to impose on the rest of the country.

As a bonus, it appears that Alex Jones' civil trial is going swimmingly, lol:

I wonder what will happen when "returning abortion to the states" doesn't get the results Republicans hoped for.

They accept that democracy has spoken and move on of course.

The GOP probably will find out siding on Religions Freedom means you have to accept religious freedom from all religions not just the Christian right.  Here is a case where multiple different religious institutions are suing Florida on their new abortion laws stating it goes against their religious freedom and rights.  In other words, its going to get really complex going forward for the GOP as this could actually be a much bigger issue then they realize.

At much greater stake is the fact that red states are doing everything they can to punish people for getting a procedure that is perfectly legal in a blue state, which would set precedents for states imposing their laws outside of their jurisdictions,  and the right of Americans to travel freely throughout the US. 

 I see cases like that going to court real soon.  Its one thing to impose laws within your own state its another to prevent people from leaving your state to do something legal.

In darker news, the amount of obstruction to the investigation surrounding January 6th, including withholding and straight up destroying evidence, is deeply concerning. It's genuinely starting to feel like a conspiracy spanning several levels of the government.

Merrick Garland better get off his ass and do his fucking job, already.

When is the GOP going to address the rampant child abuse in evangelical churches instead of fighting with cartoon mice?

Not to be outdone, a town in Michigan would rather shut down an entire library than shelve a 'woke' book:
