I'm Jane Coastin, and this is What A Day.
The show congratulating a Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoise named Mommy.
Yes, her name is Mommy.
On having four babies at the youthful age of 97.

On today's show,
a judge orders the Trump administration to return a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador back to the U.S.
by tonight, and TikTok lives to see another day in the U.S.
But let's start with the anti-Trump protests that overtook cities and towns and pretty much everywhere else across the country this past Saturday.
Called the hands-off protests, As in, get your hands off our social security, Medicare,
free speech rights, and economy, the rallies attracted hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
Organizers said an estimated 100,000 people attended a hands-off protest in D.C.
Here's Florida Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost speaking on the National Mall.
Another 30,000 people joined a rally in Chicago, according to the local NPR affiliate WBEZ.
And when I say across the country, I mean it.
There were protests in Salt Lake City, Utah.
And in Charlotte, North Carolina, here's attendee Britt Castillo.
And in Missoula, Montana,
where more than 1,000 people came together on the courthouse steps to stand up to President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
