Deep dives
Supreme Court Skeptical of Colorado's Case Against Trump
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that will decide whether Trump can be kicked off the ballot in Colorado. The conservative and liberal justices sounded skeptical of Colorado's case, with most of them arguing that a single state shouldn't be able to decide who the rest of the country can vote for. The court didn't address the issue of Trump's alleged participation in the insurrection. However, this ruling could have political implications and may be used by Trump to argue that the system is being weaponized against him.
Special Counsel Report Questions Biden's Memory
The Special Counsel investigating the mishandling of classified information by Joe Biden released a report that questioned Biden's memory and made subjective descriptions about his mental acuity. The report highlighted instances where Biden appeared to forget details or struggled to recall information. This report, coupled with other instances of perceived forgetfulness, has sparked concerns and discussions about Biden's age and competence. The White House may need to address these concerns by ensuring Biden is more visible and actively engaging in interviews and debates to alleviate doubts.
Fears of Trump's Grip on the Republican Party
Despite losing the last three elections and facing numerous felony charges, Donald Trump continues to hold strong influence over the Republican Party. Republican politicians fear challenging Trump as they risk losing their primaries if they don't fully support him. This dynamic has led to a perceived cult-like following among many Republican voters who prioritize loyalty to Trump over policy beliefs or moral values. Trump's grip on the party remains a significant obstacle for those who want to move the party in a different direction.
Gatorade color
There are three options for the color of Gatorade that will be dumped on the winning team: orange (+240), blue (+430), and red (+490).

The bet is on who will have more completions between Purdy and Mahomes. The odds are even (+110) for both quarterbacks.
Taylor Swift's Grammy wins vs Chiefs' touchdowns

Travis Kelsey's catches vs Taylor Swift's Grammy nominations

First person shown next to Taylor Swift
The options are Jason Kelsey (+500), Ed Kelsey (+900), Scott Swift (+700), Cara Delevingne (+900), and Gigi Hadid (+1000).
Travis Kelsey's proposal to Taylor Swift
