Trump to make unprecedented Supreme Court visit

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.

'Rib remodeling' is a thing

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.
