Wendy Davis is definitely, for sure, has-had-buttons-made-and-everything running for governor of Texas in the state’s 2014 Democratic primaries. Only a soothsayer would be able to tell you if she’s going to go on to win a general election and ensure that her state stops taking advice about women’s health policy from…
Get your red sneakers ready: Wendy Davis is definitely running for governor in 2014, according to multiple sources. YES.
Not content to let Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott wade into the stupid pool without a spotter, political adviser David Carney, the mastermind who made Rick Perry seem like a perfectly acceptable politician to the Texas voting public, decided it’d be great to criticize Wendy Davis on Twitter. Because that …
Fun fact: Texas, in addition to being one of the largest economies in the world, is also America's leading producer of assholes. Case in point: Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott, who replied to a supporter's tweet calling Wendy Davis "retard Barbie" with a gracious "thank you" before…
When I profiled 25-year-old Live Action founder Lila Rose last year, she told me that her anti-choice nonprofit was more relevant than ever before. What about the critics who claimed the public was sick of Live Action's heavily edited and misleading undercover video "stings" on Planned Parenthood clinics? Totally…
Right wing pundit Erick Erickson has made a career out of saying idiotic things loudly and then acting incredibly pleased with himself, like an attention-starved toddler proudly showing his mother that he just shit in her casserole dish "like a big boy." His latest attempt at clever-making? Repeatedly referring to…
Philly-based artist John Corey Brinkley is selling an illustration of Sen. Wendy Davis — on stationary cards, iPhone cases, etc. at $15 a pop. All proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas.
Sen. Wendy Davis, D-FortWorth, sits at her desk after the Texas Senate passes an abortion bill, Friday, July 12, 2013, in Austin, Texas. The bill will require doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, only allow abortions in surgical centers, dictate when abortion pills are taken and ban abortions…
Less than a week after the Texas House of Representatives passed an unreasonably onerous bill restricting safe and legal access to abortion, the Texas Senate has followed suit, passing the abortion restrictions by a vote of 19 to 11. In other words, if the Texas abortion debate were a superhero movie, Gov. Rick Perry…
The Texas Senate is apparently afraid that erratic, hormonal demon-women will wave their bloody tampons about during today's floor meeting to take a final vote on anti-abortion bills HB2 and SB1, which would make it next to impossible for most Texas women to get safe abortions. Concealed handgun carriers, on the…
If you were galvanized by Wendy Davis' filibuster last week, clear your calendar now. Testimony has begun before the Texas House and so far, it is amazing. Bill sponsor Rep. Laubenberg was either unable to answer questions or refused to answer. Here's a writeup on her testimony from the liveblogging at Burnt Orange…
As Wendy Davismania spirals up, up, up, and into its second week, the anti-Davis backlash is in full swing. Her latest crime? Dyeing her hair at some point between age 27 and 50. In that spirit, here are some men currently serving in Congress who also may or may not have worn toupees or had hair plugs installed,…
Last Tuesday, one-woman filibuster machine Wendy Davis and her angry feminist army blocked the Texas GOP from voting on an evil omnibus anti-abortion bill. Success! Until the next day, when Governor Rick Perry, Grand Protector of Ladies From Themselves, announced a second special session so he could put the bill back…
Texas-based superhero Wendy Davis is having a moment in the national spotlight now, thanks to her 12-hour filibuster of Texas’ abortion bill. She’s so beloved that people even want to wear her sweet filibustering shoes, sort of the way kids put on Batman masks and chase their recidivist family pets around the living…
Everyone wants Wendy Davis's pink rouge Mizuno sneakers; traffic to the brand's website nearly doubled after she spent 13 hours metaphorically trampling all over mansplaining GOP senators earlier this week. But, aside from some supportive tweets, Mizuno hasn't jumped at the chance to attach itself to the woman who…
Today, Texas Governor/dangerous buffoon Rick Perry really outRicked himself when he chastised Texas Senator Wendy Davis for her marathon 12 hour pro choice filibuster, saying that because she had a child at age 19, she should have "learned from her own example."
Oh no he fucking did not.
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis who — admit it — could probably walk into the room right now and reduce you to a screaming tween ovulating for the first time at a Justin Bieber concert — has had quite a week. People are going nuts for her! She's a meme! She's a super hero! She's on Anderson Cooper! She's the…
I love it. Let's go. Let's do this. E! suggests Connie Britton for the role of supershero (SORRY) Wendy Davis. They also like Bryan Cranston for Lieutenant Governor Dewhurt, Bill Maher for Senator Kirk Watson (!!?!!?!?!), and Cuba Gooding, Jr. for Senator Rodney Ellis. Do yours do yours do yours! Do yours in the…
If you've been waiting patiently to see how Taiwanese animators would handle Wendy Davis' filibuster, your patience is about to be rewarded. Not only have animators depicted Senator Davis as Superwoman, but they've also inexplicably added hydraulic low-riders, electrocutions, ghosts and a t-rex to the already…
Very uncool: running a story about ultimate fearless champion Wendy Davis that leads with her "petite" demeanor in "pink running shoes." Very cool: those pink running shoes.
