Another congressman primaried out. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News, Andy Ogles, a Trump backed Republican in Tennessee, now the ninth house lawmaker to lose a primary this year.
Congressman Andy Ogles lost the GOP primary in the fifth congressional district to Charlie Hatcher. Ogles was backed by President Trump and Hatcher was endorsed by Governor Bellee, but Ogles faced a number of controversies, mainly related to his social media posts, including about how Muslims don't belong in American society.
The Democrat hatcher faces in November is Chaz Mulder, the mayor of Columbia, Tennessee. In the state's governor's race, Senator Marsha Blackburn won the Republican primary and will take on Democrat Jerry Green, the winner, will be Tennessee's first female governor.

The Supreme Court may not be done with the birthright citizenship issue. President Trump is taking new steps that could be legally challenged, trying to block people from coming to the US just to have babies.
Months after the US Supreme Court rejected an effort by President Trump to deny birthright citizenship to children born to parents living in the US illegally, an executive order this week now aims to rein in so-called birth tourism. They've taken birthright citizenship and they've made a joke out of it. President Trump is directing officials to deny visas of foreign visitors suspected of traveling to the U.S. to give birth. A second order expands the categories of foreigners whose children would not qualify for birthright citizenship.

Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram and faces many more trials over allegations social media harms minors, has been hit with a much bigger fine in New Mexico.
A jury in New Mexico ordering Meta to pay five hundred and sixty-seven million dollars to address Instagram and Facebook's harms to young people.

And concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms. In a statement, a rep for Meta says we disagree with the ruling and will appeal, adding we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online and will continue to defend ourselves.
