Misinformation Flows Ahead of Ohio Abortion Vote

The inflammatory language targeting a reproductive rights measure on Ohio’s fall ballot is the type of messaging that is common in the closing weeks of a highly contested initiative campaign — warning of ‘abortion on demand’ or ‘dismemberment of fully conscious children’ if voters approve it.
Only the messaging isn’t just coming from the anti-abortion groups that oppose the constitutional amendment. It’s being promoted on the official government website of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate.
And because the source is a government website, the messaging is being prioritized in online searches for information about Issue 1, the question going before Ohio voters Nov. 7 to enshrine abortion access in the state Constitution.

Mike Pence Ends Presidential Bid

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who spent four years dutifully serving President Donald Trump but refused to carry out Mr. Trump’s demand that he block the 2020 election results, ended his presidential bid on Saturday, with a final appeal for his party to return to conservative principles and resist the ‘siren song of populism.’
The surprise announcement came at the end of his remarks before a crowd of Jewish Republican donors in Las Vegas, and was met with gasps of surprise. Mr. Pence had received a warm welcome and a standing ovation, and opened his speech with a full-throated endorsement of Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

I like that entry meme. A lot of people don't really "get it", they want to buy themselves a better position in the centralized economy, not build a decentralized economy that is better for everyone.
