Come watch! (1:24) — A Catholic mother really doesn’t want students wearing leggings at Notre Dame… but students pushed back. (1:45) — Tennessee is considering legalizing and regulating sports betting… but not on Sundays, because Jesus. (9:40) – Fundamentalist Pastor Steven Anderson uploaded another old sermon trashing independent women. (14:50) — Cory Booker says he’d “rather hang out with a nice atheist than a mean Christian.” Great line or subtle jab against atheists? (17:45) — A Christian lawmaker from Pennsylvania gave the worst invocation at the worst time, probably on purpose.
