Good morning, I’m Sophia Tulp, filling in for Sarah Naffa. In the news today: A look at whether teachers outed for posting adult content online have legal protections; a new study finds chronic fatigue syndrome is more widespread than once thought; and Congress is considering major changes to the U.S. immigration system. Also, a rare white alligator has been born and a Florida wildlife park wants your help naming it. |

Teachers have been outed for moonlighting in adult content. Do they have legal recourse? |
At a small rural Missouri high school, two English teachers shared a secret: Both were posting adult content on OnlyFans, the subscription-based website known for sexually explicit content. But some outed teachers have lost their jobs, raising questions about personal freedoms and how far employers can go to avoid stigma related to their employees’ after-hour activities. Read more.

Biden and Congress are mulling big changes on immigration. What are they and what could they mean? |
President Joe Biden is taking a more active role in Senate negotiations over changes to the immigration system that Republicans are demanding in exchange for providing money to Ukraine and Israel.

The White House is expected to get more involved in talks this week as the impasse over changes to border policy has deepened and the funds remaining for Ukraine have dwindled.
Much of the negotiating is taking place in private, but some of the issues under discussion are asylum standards, humanitarian parole and fast-track deportation authority, among others.

Much of the disagreement comes down to whether people think deterrence works. Many immigration advocates say some of the proposals would gut protections for people who desperately need help and wouldn’t really ease chaos at the border.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is not rare, a new CDC survey finds |
Health officials have released the first nationally representative estimate of how many U.S. adults have chronic fatigue syndrome: 3.3 million. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s number is larger than previous studies have suggested and is likely boosted by some of the patients with long COVID. Read more.

The findings contradicted long-held perceptions about who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome.
There was less of a gap between women and men than some previous studies suggested, and there was hardly any difference between white and Black people. The study also found that a higher percentage of poor people said they had it than affluent people.

The condition clearly “is not a rare illness,” said the CDC’s Dr. Elizabeth Unger, one of the report’s co-authors.
