Good morning! I’m Nicole Fallert. Here’s a quick update on notable news from Friday:
In a Supreme Court session, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan questioned the Trump administration for not directly pursuing a ruling on birthright citizenship. The administration, represented by Solicitor General John Sauer, sought to block nationwide injunctions instead of addressing the constitutionality of Trump’s order, which aims to eliminate birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. unless at least one parent is a citizen or legal resident. Some justices speculated this tactic might be to avoid a likely defeat in court. Lawyers representing various states expressed concerns about the chaos that could ensue from shifting citizenship based on state lines.
In other news, model Cassie Ventura Fine provided testimony about her past decade with Sean “Diddy” Combs, revealing significant drug use during their relationship, including a hospitalization due to opiates. She described the toll it took on her after participating in extreme sexual performances that lasted several days.
Meanwhile, Starbucks workers are striking across around 100 stores nationwide, protesting a new dress code requiring solid black tops, which they argue compounds an existing understaffing crisis. The union claims that promised shirts have not been received by many employees.
Additionally, in Georgia, a woman named Adriana Smith has been declared brain dead while on life support due to complications from pregnancy, highlighting a state law that forbids abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Finally, on the sports front, the New York Knicks are vying for a spot in the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics, while Jhonattan Vegas leads the PGA Championship by two strokes at 7 under.
