Welcome to the Daily Briefing. Begin the day with these stories:
Nicole Fallert here. Welcome to April 🌷Get April Fool’s deals today but don’t fall for the jokes!!! Wednesday’s news begins with a major Supreme Court debate on birthright citizenship, a space launch toward the moon and a rib-cracking plastic surgery trend.
President Donald Trump’s daily schedule has him at the Supreme Court Court for oral arguments at 10 a.m. on Wednesday as the justices weigh whether his administration can restrict birthright citizenship.
No sitting president has attended a Supreme Court argument.
What’s the court discussing? The Supreme Court will take up Trump’s ability to sharply restrict which children born in the U.S. are automatically citizens. Under Trump’s policy, roughly 255,000 children born on U.S. soil each year would start life without U.S. citizenship, according to the Migration Policy Institute. That’s about 6% of all projected births.
World Cup
Some dreams were shattered last night, other dreams were made. After nearly three years of qualifiers, the 2026 World Cup field of 48 teams was set Tuesday with six winner-take-all matches to decide the final participants for this year’s tournament.
Health & Wellness
There’s a new cosmetic procedure gaining popularity called “rib remodeling,” and it involves surgically altering the ribs in order to make the waist look smaller. The recovery can be tough and the cost is high. Though it’s far safer than the alternative rib removal surgery, it’s not without risks, either.
