— Jeremy Allen White's The Bear co-star after finding out Chef Carmy stole this 400-pound prop from the set. But did he yell, “I need hands!”?
SCOTUS
And That’s a Wrap
If the Supreme Court had an astrological sign, it would be a July Leo because look at this main character energy. As the term concluded, Justice Clarence Thomas made a mysterious visit to Capitol Hill, Justice Samuel Alito weathered a false and accidental NPR report that he plans to retire, and the justices dropped their final – and hugely consequential – decisions for the term. Here's what went down:
Constitutional crisis avoided?: Some analysts think so. The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in the 14th Amendment. This ruling reaffirmed that, yes, children born in the US are citizens – regardless of their parents' immigration status. Still, many analysts were shocked that the justices were so divided. The ruling means about 250,000 babies that qualify for birthright citizenship annually will retain their status. Trump plans to take the issue to Congress.
A major sports decision: SCOTUS upheld laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender athletes from playing on girls’ and women’s sports teams. The ruling is also expected to reinforce 25 similar bans in other states. It’s another win for Trump on a core Republican issue, even though trans people make up .002% of college athletes. While Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in his opinion that trans athletes deserve respect and shouldn’t be “ostracized or vilified,” this ruling follows a long tradition of such restrictions under Trump. In light of the outcome, the mom of one of the plaintiffs wrote a powerful essay in her daughter’s defense.
