Kansas has essentially become the last abortion haven in the Midwest. Three of the four states bordering it have moved to ban abortion, reportedly quadrupling out-of-state abortion seekers.

Shit, Ron DeSantis younger than me?!

Alex Jones was just hanging out in my town. Even worse, staying at the very same hotel where my grandparents first lived when they moved here right before my dad was born.
