Ok, this headline is great too! Sports betting is already a mockery! Who cares if the ads are nude? "Sydney Sweeney under fire for ‘sexualising women’s sport’ in sports prediction ad"

Trump's new (I'm sure unconstitutional) executive orders on birthright citizenship would take away my mom's US citizenship. My grandma lied (as most did/do) on her immigration papers (about her age), so according to Trump my mom wouldn't be a US citizen!
