Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) refused on Tuesday to allow CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins to block him from telling the truth about an IVF-related bill.Earlier in the day, the Senate failed to pass a bill that would provide federal protections for IVF. It was the second time the bill failed after nearly every Republican senator voted against it. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) were the only Republicans who voted for it.'No, Kaitlan, you're not going to stop me there.'The Democratic narrative quickly became that Republicans are once again trying to restrict rights and block fertility care. Collins herself parroted that narrative. Before introducing Cotton onto her show, she said:Senate Republicans today blocked a bill that would guarantee access to the very thing that a lot of them say they support. It's also the very thing that we have heard Donald Trump say that he supports. Democrats tried and failed, again, to pass that measure, which would guarantee access to IVF nationwide. And tonight, they are using this vote to hammer Republicans who said, "No."When it was finally Cotton's turn to speak, he told Collins that he needed to "correct almost everything you said in the lede in there.""First off, there's no risk to IVF in this country. All 49 Republican senators, along with President Trump, support IVF. No state restricts or bans IVF," Cotton explained. "Second, this bill was about a lot more than just IVF."Despite having laid out only those two basic facts, Collins immediately became defensive. Cotton, however, clarified the facts about what the bill actually includes."You said that it had to guarantee access. Access is guaranteed in all 50 states right now," he explained. "You also said that it was about IVF. It's about a lot more than IVF. This bill would mandate coverage for experimental controversial procedures, like cloning or gene editing or providing fertility treatments to men who think they're women, whatever that means."And when Cotton tried to explain how the bill "would also imperil religious liberties" — by allegedly compelling Christians to operate against their conscience — Collins tried to interrupt the senator."Let's stop you there," she said."No, Kaitlan, you're not going to stop me there," Cotton fired back. "Because you're misrepresenting what the bill is about. The bill is about infringing upon religious liberty."As the interview went on, Collins repeatedly defended the bill, claiming "it would have guaranteed access to IVF." But Cotton was forced time and again to remind her that IVF access is prima facie guaranteed already because not a single state restricts it. Like Blaze News?

There has always been a bittersweet sentiment among iPhone users that Apple should unlock more possibilities with new software updates. One side would say people just know how to use an iPhone because it's very straightforward. Others would say you should be able to do more with it. I was between those two types of users. Now, iOS 18 unlocks more possibilities than ever. You can customize your iPhone Home Screen in iOS 18 like never before. However, Apple just overcomplicated one of the simplest features available for almost the entire lifespan of the iPhone: Adding new wallpapers. Since iOS 15, Apple has improved the experience of adding new wallpapers thanks to Focus Mode. By setting different modes, you can have unique iPhone wallpapers throughout the day, depending on whether you're working, chilling, practicing some exercises, or just don't want to be interrupted. While iOS 17 already made changing your iPhone wallpaper trickier, iOS 18 made this task harder—at least if you're trying to do the same as me. Previously, I would switch the iPhone wallpaper from the Home Screen by long-pressing an empty space and adding a new wallpaper. Well, not anymore. If you do that, you can only Add Widgets, Customize your apps' look, and Edit Pages. After tapping Edit Pages, you can tap Options to go to your different Focus Modes. From there, you need to remove your current screen customizations and add a new one. Phew, that's annoying. Here's how you could do it better. Best ways to switch your iPhone wallpaper in iOS 18 Image source: José Adorno for BGR There are two easy ways to switch your iPhone wallpaper in iOS 18. Through the Lock Screen: With your iPhone unlocked, long-press the wallpaper on the Lock Screen. You can customize your current wallpaper or add a new one at the end of your existing choices. Through Settings: On your Settings app, find the Wallpaper option, and then customize it or add a new option. Not that hard, right? Still, why does it feel so exhausting to add a new wallpaper? Image source: José Adorno for BGR If you don't change your wallpaper as you used to, it's actually very simple: Apple gives you too many options. Not only can you choose your own photos, but you can also use Apple's suggestions, iOS wallpapers, emojis, unique collections, and more. Even after choosing your preferred wallpaper, you can also change the following: The top widget Font & Color Add widgets Switch the Lock Screen bottom widgets Add or remove the depth effect Choose between several filters Choose the Appearance It's just overwhelming. Wrap up If you find that adding a new wallpaper seems harder than it used to, you're probably right. Apple added so many options that we usually feel like we shouldn't change what we created previously. The same is worth it for me with Focus Modes. I once tried to help a family member set a Focus Mode for them, and it was so hard, with so few details, that we gave up on that. However, I do love how Focus Mode works for me. At the end of the day, it's all about how much you want to customize your iPhone experience. Still, I wish Apple could help users not get lost along the way.
