Lexi Thompson announces she’s pregnant with a girl

By The Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Lexi Thompson’s semi-retirement is about to get a lot more busy. She announced Tuesday she’s going to be a mother.

Thompson, who has 11 LPGA victories including a major when she was 19, got married earlier this year and posted on Instagram a photo with husband Max Provost and photos of the sonogram of a girl due in February.

“The best chapter of our lives is just beginning and we are so blessed and grateful. Baby girl, we already love you more than you’ll ever know,” she wrote.

Thompson is playing this week in the Standard Portland Classic, her first tournament since the Dow Championship team event in June. She announced at the U.S. Women’s Open in 2024 that year would be her last full season. She played 13 times last year and reached the Tour Championship.

Thompson’s last LPGA title was in 2019.

In Meta’s trial, families of social media victims see a pivotal moment for online safety

By The Associated Press
As opening statements kicked off Tuesday in a trial for Meta Platforms, advocates and parents of social media victims gathered outside the federal courthouse in Oakland, California, with a banner that stretched several feet across. Written on it in black ink were the names of children and young adults who have died from social media related harms, including deaths by suicide after bouts of cyberbullying or sextortion. Giovanni, an 11-year-old, Bubba, a 13-year-old, and Englyn, a 14-year-old, were among the nearly 600 names. Parents said the names were “just the tip of the iceberg.” “Behind us, justice is going to be served,″ said Lennon Torres, an advocate with the organization Heat Initiative. “The courtroom doors are open, and it is time that the public see what the executives at Meta have known all along: that their products are designed to addict and to harm children.″ Many of the gathered parents have attended previous trials, congressional hearings and other events related to online child safety. But they say this trial, in which the attorneys general from four states are seeking billions of dollars in damages for social media harms to children, marks a significant moment.
