Stephen Colbert nails Jeff Sessions' 'religious liberty' task force with 'Ghostbusters' parody

 I understand how comedy and poking fun at inane things helps people cope. That being said, I think this is mildly amusing. It should have been a little bit longer.

'GOP anti-LGBTQ adoption amendment could endanger LGBTQ foster children' & other Wed midday news briefs

 According to a recent report, California would risk losing nearly $250 million and New Jersey would lose over $25 million. In total, the amendment could cut more than $1.04 billion to state child welfare budgets. Warbelow also claimed the amendment would allow for a greater number of religiously affiliated agencies to subject LGBTQ foster youth to so-called gay conversion therapy. This medically discredited practice, which seeks to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity, is currently banned in 14 states and the District of Columbia, according to Movement Advancement Project, an LGBTQ think tank.
