A Texas woman was arrested by police and charged with aggravated assault after she threw a Molotov cocktail at a group of people outside a Planned Parenthood facility.
The group was made up of anti-abortion protesters who held a prayer vigil outside the Planned Parenthood building in South Austin. Ruth Allwein said that as she prayed on Monday, she saw someone throw the Molotov cocktail from her car and backed away.
She put out the fire and called the police. They ended up finding and arresting Melanie Toney, who ended up confessing to throwing the Molotov cocktail.

Obamacare Opponent Ted Cruz is Signing Up for Obamacare
This fucking guy:
This is the most astonishing Obamacare-related news story — or anything-related news story I’ve seen in a long, long time. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), perhaps the central opponent of the Affordable Care Act is enrolling in an Obamacare health insurance plan. No, this isn’t a story from The Onion. He’s really doing it.
Evidently his wife is taking a leave of absence from her job at Goldman-Sachs in order to help with Cruz’s campaign. Consequently, the couple will lose their insurance coverage through her job. And today, during a sit-down with CNN’s Dana Bash he admitted that he’s buying insurance through the federal exchange — specifically the previously glitchy Healthcare.gov website.
