14th Amendment (1868): “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” It couldn't be more clear. Alarming that this ruling was so close.

About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

THIS. Trans people were just a vehicle for rolling back rights. They are coming for all of us, one group at a time.

What she said. It’s an out of control court when the completely nutso executive order on birthright citizenship draws any measure of support.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

4 SCOTUS Justices voted against what the Constitution explicitly says. LET THAT SINK IN. They need to go!

THIS!!!!

We need our own Guy Fawkes day.

More dark money in our elections.

F*CK

This is the new Dred Scott decision.

Absolutely horrid and vile.

The face eating leopards...

We'll take the rare win!

First (but *not* last) #SCOTUS ruling is the two transgender discrimination cases. For the usual 6-3 majority, Justice Kavanaugh *upholds* state bans on transgender athletes in public sports under *both* Title IX and the Fourteenth Amendment: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The Supreme Court's first decisions are the trans athlete cases. By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that Title IX and the equal protection clause do NOT stop states from excluding trans women and girls from female sports teams. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Of course they did. They just had to stick it to trans folks at the end of Pride month. 🖕

New: Make no mistake, we are paying for Trump’s ballroom - wapo.st/4vWKurH

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

Count the stars. There are 11, not 13. There were 11 Confederate states during the Civil War. Trump was indoctrinated in all that KKKrap by his father, Fred. Don’t overlook the significance of this. It is clearly a call to all of his white supremacist bannermen to come to his aid.

THIS!!!!!

Still no big beautiful obituary.

The Supreme Court is utterly diseased. We must flip the senate, block all Trump nominees, kill the filibuster, elect a Dem POTUS, and pass a law adding four seats to remediate the racist cancer on the bench.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

My Latest: When we accept that the president lies, we cheapen the value of truth. When we accept his attacks on Democratic leaders and opposition figures, we destigmatize and thus enable the weaponization of government. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

$2.5 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right, they are PAYING to keep your energy bills high.

All of this!

True dat

It's all connected.

Trump is having a very bad day.

Reading about the Obama Center opening, seeing photos, videos, hearing speeches, reading commentaries confirmed a STARK contrast between two presidents. DJT's is consumed with hate, anger, delusions of grandeur and getting retribution. He is evil. He's NOT presidential. He needs to be removed.

I thought this was on Point….

I guess this fascist regime didn’t like having Shady Vance asked pertinent questions by a group of women so they unleashed their FCC lapdog after them!!! #theview

THIS!!!

BREAKING: Trump and Gabbard are blocking the release two new reports commissioned by ODNI showing zero vote manipulation in the 2020 election.

I think Elmo knew exactly what he was cutting. All designed to thin the herd: us. #maddow

Wait what? Trump is basically signing a surrender? #maddow
