Faced with relentless Republican attacks on reproductive freedom including efforts to give embryos and fetuses legal rights from the moment of conception, Democratic lawmakers in two states have recently introduced legislation that would ban men from ejaculating for purposes other than making babies, with some exceptions.

I'm with you on this stuff. Leave this stuff to The Daily Show correspondents. This is as serious as the Red, White, and Blue Land proposal.

If I'm looking for who I'm voting for and saw:

Tried but failed to get school breakfast refunded.
Tried to troll Republicans with the Ant-Whacking bill.

Number 1 may have also failed to accomplish anything, but they spent their time in office at least attempting to do what they were elected to do.

This stuff feels like lame Ron/Rand Paul crap trying to make worthless votes look like they're actually principles. If this is the best use of time they can find, we're in trouble. They need to be out figuring out why they lost to literal criminals, not coming up with ways to "slam" them and doing their version of Steven Miller's searching out obscure old regulation to impede the burning of our rights and protections.
