Two news headlines: Caitlin Clark's rookie card fetches $660,000 at auction in record sale WNBA players say they're not paid what they're owed. Are they right?

Trump: We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.
