8 Expressions You’ll Hear in Texas Learn some Texan expressions that capture the charm, wit, and larger-than-life personality of the Lone Star State.

As a native Texan, I approve this list of "8 Expression's You'll Hear in Texas," except I would have added included "finna" next to "fixin' to." I definitely used "finna" way more. And, yes, every soft drink is still a Coke.

What would it take to end birthright citizenship in the U.S.? President Trump's executive order to limit "birthright citizenship"​ was one of the first things he signed in his second term.

BU Law Professor Jessica Silbey speaks about what it would take to end birthright citizenship in the U.S.

"The idea that we would, with an executive order, with the signing of a pen, roll back something that we fought a civil war over seems highly unlikely."
