During the 2008 financial crisis, Gallup asked Americans if they wanted to leave the U.S., and 1 in 10 said yes.
Last year, that number was 1 in 5.
And finally, a few other stories we're following.
In a landmark ruling yesterday, a New Mexico court has ordered Meta to pay out nearly $375 million for misleading users over the safety of its platforms for children.
It marks as one of the company's first major defeats in court for child safety issues.
The state's attorney general accused the company of having lax safety protocols on its platforms, which allowed sexual predators to contact minors.
And the jury agreed.
During the seven-week trial, jurors had access to internal documents, and one former engineer testified to various experiments he ran on Meta's Instagram that showed underage users were served sexualized content.
Meta said it would appeal the ruling and that they worked hard to keep people safe on their platforms.
Yesterday, Minnesota sued the Trump administration to gain access to investigation materials on the two fatal ICE shootings that took place earlier this year.
State investigators allege the administration's top law enforcement agencies have been stonewalling them and withholding evidence over the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Preddy.
The state is also seeking information from a third case involving a non-fatal shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant named Julio Sosa-Saliz, who was shot in the leg by a federal officer.
And Mar-a-Lago is turning blue.
Last night, Democrat Emily Gregory won a special statehouse election in a Palm Beach district, which includes Trump's Florida home.
It was Gregory's first time running for office against Republican John Maples, a former council member who first received Trump's complete and total endorsement in January.
Trump voted via mail-in ballot, a method he has often criticized.
Mar-a-Lago will now be represented by a trio of Democrats across the Florida State House, Senate, and House of Representatives.
Gregory told CNN she avoided making Trump a central focus of her campaign, but was there to serve everyone, including her highest-profile constituent.
I would be happy to have a conversation.
And, you know, all 180,000 residents of District 87 are my priority, if I'm so lucky to serve.
