It's Tuesday, April 22nd.
Happy Earth Day.
I'm Erin Ryan in for Jane Costa, and this is What A Day,
the show that's got a lot of questions about Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's purse being stolen.
One, what kind of purse?
Two, why was she carrying $3,000 cash for Easter presents?
Three, where was her security?
Four,

On today's show, Catholics around the world mourn the death of Pope Francis,
who passed away on Monday at the age of 88 after a prolonged illness and a brief meeting with Vice President JD Vance.

But first, and speaking of throwing up, it's a busy week at the US Supreme Court.
On Monday, the justices heard oral arguments in yet another legal attack on Obamacare.
This time,
over requirements that insurers cover some preventative care services at no cost to patients.
Today, they'll weigh a parental rights case over LGBTQ-themed children's books in public schools.
And tomorrow,
they'll hear a challenge to California's ability to set stricter emission standards for new cars.
