So much to digest in this article it's unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma's anti-trans bathroom bill.
Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don't need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
E. Jean Carroll's lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.
Donald Trump was reportedly obsessed with punishing Snoop Dogg in his final White House hours over past criticisms.
