Five people, including three babies, stabbed at New York daycare centre
Three babies and two adults were slashed during an early-morning assault at a suspected illegal childcare centre in New York City on Friday, police said. A 52-year-old woman who works there as a "babysitter/worker" was arrested after assault which took place in the Queens neighborhood at around 3:30am, a police spokesman told AFP. The suspect attacked two baby girls and a baby boy, leaving one of the girls in serious condition, police said. One of the adults hurt in the attack worked there, while the other was the father of one of the babies. None of the victims' lives were in danger, police said. Officers found the suspect in the basement of the center with self-inflicted cuts to her wrists. She has not yet been charged. "It looks to be an illegal" childcare facility, apparently for members of the city's Asian community, the police spokesman told AFP. "We're unsure of its legality at this time." It was not immediately clear how many other children were at the centre at the time of the assault.

Mother of Dragons Emilia Clarke Debuts ‘Game of Thrones’-Inspired Tattoo
This mama ain’t never forgetting her babies - her dragon babies, that is. “Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke - who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO drama - debuted a new tattoo on Wednesday to commemorate her three on-screen children, who happen to be the dragons Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion (the latter of which unfortunately fell to the White Walkers in Season 7). Clarke shared a photo of her wrist with three small flying dragons with the caption: “MOD 4 LYFE!!!! … made sure this mamma ain’t NEVER forgetting her babies…” She is the Mother of Dragons, after all.

Here's Why Ivanka Reportedly Told Trump To Drop Brett Kavanaugh
While Republicans continue to try and cram Brett Kavanaugh onto the highest court in the country, plenty of questions, many of which he has dodged, remain about both his record and his moral character. There are serious concerns about his interpretation of the law when it comes to abortion rights, same-sex marriage, executive power, and more - concerns that put him at odds with the majority of the public. As we learned on Sunday, he is also allegedly an attempted rapist, which for many Republicans doesn't seem to disqualify him from the lifelong appointment of Supreme Court justice.
