"Thirty-two other countries around the world, most of them in the Western Hemisphere, have birthright citizenship laws that are substantially similar to the U.S." www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Obviously, we haven't yet heard from Cecilia Wang on behalf of the plaintiffs. But the #SCOTUS birthright citizenship argument is shaping up as a blowout against President Trump. I count at least seven votes against the executive order just in the questions to Solicitor General Sauer. Maybe more.

Brick by brick, Jeff Bezos is dismantling the Washpost. With no stated game plan for how to turn it around.

The Truth about Trump's "SAVE America Act" • Citizenship already a requirement to vote • Instances of noncitizen voting are rare • 9% of all eligible voters do not have, or do not have easy access to, documentary proof of citizenship • 52% of registered voters do not have an unexpired passport

When Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week in retaliation for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran bit.ly/4r2EFp5

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Remember how Trump's SOTU included a line about how he'd stopped eight wars, including Israel v. Iran?

War with Iran is just a distraction from war with Anthropic.

Like most of the House, Mike Johnson has only been there in the Trump era. It’s not simply that he’s abdicating his power as a coequal branch, it’s that he doesn’t seem to understand that it *is* a coequal branch.
