Lizz Winstead Begs to Differ Good Thursday morning! Daily Show cocreator Lizz Winstead is taking her “harrowing and hilarious” new abortion documentary, No One Asked You, on the road next week to mark two years since the Dobbs decision and [the fall]( of Roe, Chris Smith [reports](. “We have politicians who have 50 years of not knowing how to talk about it,” Winstead tells Smith. “Don’t say ‘abortion’—say ‘reproductive rights.’ So the antiabortion movement says the word four times more than we do. Everyone’s been too afraid. We just decided to rip the Band-Aid off and take the hits.” Elsewhere, Katie Herchenroeder [writes]( on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s attempt to get on CNN’s debate stage next week alongside Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Plus, Donald Liebenson [remembers]( the great Willie Mays. Thanks for reading.
