…And yet another story about a bakery mix-up….A Missouri mother was in for a surprise when she picked up her 2-year-old daughter’s birthday cake and found a peculiar typo.

Melin Jones, of Bonne Terre, Missouri, says she rushed to pick up the celebratory creation for her daughter Elizabeth from a local Walmart last September. There, she asked the employee to use the little girl’s nickname, “Lizard.”

Jones quickly paid for the cake, and it wasn’t until she got home that the doting mom realized the icing read “Happy Birthday Loser.” The mother says she couldn’t stop laughing.

Luckily Elizabeth cannot yet read and she wasn’t told what the message actually said.

Melin says she initially shared the photo on Facebook but deleted the post because she did not want the Walmart employee to get in trouble.

So far no comment from Walmart.

Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, on Tuesday blasted Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as unqualified to be president. In remarks on Outkick The Coverage, the former National Guard soldier who served in Iraq said she has seen firsthand what it is like to have presidents who lack foreign policy experience fall under the influence of the “foreign policy establishment” and the “military industrial complex.” Gabbard says Harris lacks the foreign policy credentials – and temperament – to lead America on the global stage.

Eighty-nine-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she is “very much alive” despite recent health scares that have fueled speculation about her ability to do her job. Ginsburg made the remarks during a wide-ranging interview with NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg that aired this morning. Ginsburg had colorectal cancer in 1999 and last year had two cancerous nodules removed from her lung. Last December, she fell and fractured three ribs. Ginsburg also told NPR she thinks it is a bad idea to pack the court with more justices because it could make the court look overtly partisan. Several Democratic presidential candidates have made the pitch. Asked what she thought about issues like women’s rights at a time with a conservative majority, Ginsburg responded: “I don’t think there’s going to be any turning back to old ways.”

Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and his allies are not waiting for Robert Mueller to finish testifying about his investigation into the sitting president before framing the moment as a victory for the White House. The president tweeted four times during the first half of Mueller’s testimony, largely quoting Fox News criticism of the former special counsel’s testimony. And Donald Trump Jr. mocked Mueller’s lack of familiarity with some aspects of the investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former special counsel Robert Mueller says his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election was “not a witch hunt.” Mueller is testifying Wednesday afternoon before the House intelligence committee on his 448-page report. He spent hours testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to the Russia investigation as a witch hunt.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Wolf Administration is hoping to make it easier for people to access state government services by consolidating ways for the public to contact agencies through what’s being called the Keystone Login.
