Several videos from Boston Children’s Hospital on transgender children are making the rounds.

First lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19.

MSNBC contributor and historian Michael Beschloss posted a tweet on Thursday evening recounting historical figures who had been executed for sharing U.S. nuclear secrets with foreign governments, and a former CIA chief shared the post with his own approving tweet.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) blamed her failed 2020 presidential bid on the fact that she was born without a penis.

Sen. Ted Cruz mocked Sen. Warren for her comments. “Now let me say two things about that,” Cruz declared. “Number one: That story is a lie. Produce this fictional person ’cause this human being does not exist. But number two: In today’s Democrat Party, how do we know she doesn’t? … How could you possibly know?"

What is the difference between the two?
