The U.S. is one of more than 30 countries with birthright citizenship. Learn about the history of the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause before #SCOTUS debates its meaning. @aclu.org youtu.be/4QczkEbU8jA

Supporters of President Trump like Sen. Ted Cruz say birthright citizenship is "stupid" because "it incentivizes illegal immigration." The @aclu.org counters that the 14th Amendment framers deliberately guaranteed birthright citizenship for anyone born in the USA. youtu.be/4QczkEbU8jA

Before Wednesday's #SCOTUS arguments on birthright citizenship, join me on a stroll through American history. Turns out the Founders wanted lots of immigrants to come to here. youtu.be/4QczkEbU8jA

Except when war breaks out, #SCOTUS is the hottest beat in town. Discussing it with NYT's @jodikantor.bsky.social, WSJ's James Romoser, and Politico's @joshgerstein.bsky.social tein.bsky.social and Ankush Khardori was really fun. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

#SCOTUS seems inclined to allow states to bar transgender girls from sports at publicly funded schools, but the ramifications for transgender people are less clear. @aclu.org www.npr.org/2026/01/13/n...

Transgender participation in sports debated today @SCOTUS. 27 states have enacted laws banning it, contending it gives an unfair advantage to trans girls. For prominent athletes, its personal, with big time female sports figures on both sides. @aclu.org www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...

The rhetoric around transgender participation in school sports proved very popular for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, putting Dems on Defense, with 15,000 ads.

Transgender participation in school sports is very rare. Indeed the girl known as BPJ is apparently the only trans girl in West Virginia who has participated in middle and high school sports. @aclu.org www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...
