For a state that worships guns the way Texas does,
it's very interesting that their big tough cops are afraid to confront gunmen.
Even when little children are getting murdered.

We Democrats need to hang this label on the "pro-life" hypocrites who refuse to support any form of gun control.
No more GOP. It's POD.

For months stores nationwide have been struggling to stock enough baby formula. Manufacturers say they're producing at full capacity and making as much formula as they can, but it's still not enough to meet current demand.
The out-of-stock rate for baby formula hovered between 2% and 8% in the first half of 2021, but began rising sharply last July. Between November 2021 and early April 2022, the out-of-stock rate jumped to 31%, data from Datasembly showed.
That rate has increased another 9% in just the past two weeks, and now stands at 40%, the statistics show. In six states Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri, Texas and Tennessee more than half of baby formula was completely sold out during the week starting April 24, Datasembly said.
And although seven states had between 40-50% of baby formula products out of stock as of early April, 26 states are now struggling with supply.
