Today they covered a lot of ground: a jury finding Meta liable for harming children's mental health, Afroman's winning battle against the law, the U.S. blockade of Cuba, and more. Finally, they talked about baseball. Specifically, Team USA baseball, who seemed to have absolutely zero fun playing in the World Baseball Classic while every other team was having a blast. What does this say about America itself? -- Jury finds Meta's platforms are harmful to children in 1st wave of social media addiction lawsuits Afroman prevails in cops' music video defamation suit after a brief but viral trial Afroman Merch Cuba looks to Vatican for help as U.S. pressure plunges island into crisis Yankees broadcaster takes issue with 'wrapping sports in the flag and preaching patriotism' -- TPM's Annual Membership Drive is underway!
