Since SCOTUS allowed states to legalize sports betting in 2018, Americans have legally bet more than $600 billion. Apps like DraftKings and FanDuel say they have tools to protect bettors who lose control. We spent 10 weeks testing their safeguards.

I think what’s going on here is that Trump is sending lists of names that sound immigranty to state election officials and claiming - with no evidence - they’re non-citizens as a pretext to seize ballots.
It's not just California: The Trump admin just asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from more than 400 people it claims are suspected to be registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

UPDATE: @justinjpearson.bsky.social on Brent Taylor’s Sexting Scandal🍆 “This is the type of predatory behavior that needs to be rooted out of our society and politics. Tennessee deserves leaders who respect women— not sexually harass, expose their genitalia to, or take advantage of them.”

Justin J Pearson’s republican opponent sent unsolicited dick pics to multiple recipients when he was as old as 53. He admits to it, but calls his behavior “youthful indiscretion” and a “distraction.” www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
