1/New but not surprising: Mary Poe, who sued Kentucky a week ago in an effort to overturn the state's near-total abortion bans, is no longer pregnant, according to filing today in her case.

Brief 🧵on why this is expected & might not necessarily impact her lawsuit.

Produced by Jennifer Lawrence, executive produced by @Malala, and directed by Afghan filmmaker @Sahra_Mani, “Bread and Roses” follows three Afghan women who secretly filmed their protests and their painful solitude under Taliban rule.

In an exclusive interview, Lawrence, Yousafzai and Mani told @gayleking about speaking up for the 20 million women and girls living in Afghanistan: “Maybe one movie, one camera and one director also can bring change to their own society.”

Gov. Andy Beshear tells @LEX18News that “it was a true honor of a lifetime to be considered in this process, but Tim Walz is a good pick…”

Beshear chooses to not say whether he was interviewed by Harris and whether the VP reached out to tell him that he wasn’t her pick.

[Daniel Desrochers @drdesrochers]

Former KY Gov. Matt Bevin sent his son to a disciplinary school in Jamaica that was raided for abusing the teenagers.

Then he seemingly failed to pick up his son, allowing him to become a ward of Jamaica.

“Noah, [Bevin’s] son, is unsurprised.”
