FACT-CHECK: TRUE ✅

Holy shit! This tour of the White House trail of destruction is painful to watch. Trump isn’t renovating anything. He’s taking a wrecking ball to history & sending us the bill. Based on what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be a shoddy build that will need to be redone sooner rather than later.

Frost: It’s too dangerous for you to visit Haiti for a day. Yet, they want to expel 350,000 people from this country. It is deeply racist, and part of this bigger project that Trump has of essentially expelling Black and brown people from this nation. And this is part of that.

ICYMI — @MarshaBlackburn literally ran from reporters today. Even Marsha must not like what she has to say!🤷🏼‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♀️ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

The most corrupt president in history and it's not close: "Trump reaped a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses, a new filing shows"

Nehls: You have to love our country. This is what we gotta do. We gotta put a big bed sheet over the Statue of Liberty. She gotta go to sleep for a while. I'm not saying she's dead. Instead of having a torch, maybe it needs a stop sign.

Vance says the midterms are big because Republicans are one SCOTUS seat from ending birthright citizenship

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Thou shalt expand and reform the Supreme Court. Thou shalt only support candidates who promise to do so. Can I get an amen?

"The Christian right believes it has never had a better opportunity to make its tendentious reading of the Constitution a reality. Not only do they have a president happy to do so, but SCOTUS has been waging an attack on church-state separation — as long as Christians are the ones being protected."

Rep. Casar: Today we are here to stand up for a fundamental American principle that if you're born in America, you are an American. No matter your parents' birthplace or language or creed, citizenship is a birthright in this country. No would-be king gets to pick and choose who is and isn't American

🎯

The Supreme Court BARELY upheld Birthright Citizenship. They are two votes away from fascists deciding who gets to be a citizen or not. Anyone who doesn’t want to pack the court is not a serious person.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Notably, FOUR justices would have rewritten the Constitution by fiat. Kavanaugh only concurred because he thinks the law Congress passed in the 1950s granting birthright citizenship governs the case, but he thinks Congress could eliminate birthright citizenship along Trump's lines if they wanted.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

Here are the top 5 dogs of June!

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

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.

EYE OPENER 1943 U.S. Army film, Don’t Be a Sucker, was supposed to be a warning from history. Instead, the Trump administration has been treating it like an instruction manual.

NEW RULE: whenever I call for expanding the Supreme Court, it’s always 2029. But we have to start now by flipping the senate. No need to say “shouldn’t we wait until we have a Dem president?” Yes. You can always assume that. Thanks!

POCAN: You are a Christian nationalist by declaration VOUGHT: This is the second time you've used that slander POCAN: You wrote an article, 'Is there anything actually wrong with Christian nationalism'

The only surprise here is that it was close. Fuck this court. Expand it*

* flip the senate now, block Trump nominations, hold the senate/house and select a dem POTUS in 2029, then pass a law that adds four seats, sets 18 year term limits to senior status with appointments staggered every two years, and creates ethics rules with teeth.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants. Roberts and Barrett join the three liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Kavanaugh concurs and dissents in part: He holds that Trump's order does NOT violate the 14th Amendment, but does violate a federal statute. He says Congress could change the statute to effectuate Trump's order in the future. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The outcome is thus: 5–4 that the Constitution protects birthright citizenship for the children of all immigrants. 6–3 that Trump's order is unlawful (because Kavanaugh says it violates a statute, NOT the 14th Amendment.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

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.

The sitting president of the United States had to pay $5 million to a woman he raped and defamed, and not one person in his entire cult of a party is calling for his resignation. Not one.

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the conservative moment, which vilifies them and threatens to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook. Shameful.

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

He literally growls.

We the people want to get money OUT of politics, but the oligarchs on the court say we need MORE. Well then I say we need MORE justices on the court. 13 at least.

I'm sure this will open the door for TN to finally get their slate of hate to the finish line.

Final #SCOTUS ruling is birthright citizenship. For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito & Gorsuch, dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts *strikes down* President Trump's executive order purporting to limit which individuals born in the United States would automatically be US citizens; preserves status quo:

Justice Roberts writes: children born to parents who are in the United States unlawfully or temporarily are "born in the United States" and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." "Under the Constitution, they are citizens at birth."

Trump bought up to $5M in Axon stock, a taser company, two weeks before ICE sought a contract for tasers. He’s also bought stock in Palantir, Dell, and Nvidia — all of whom have been awarded massive government contracts. Has a president ever profited so brazenly from the office?

Trump’s DOJ just issued a memo that disability advocates warn could gut decades of civil rights protections for disabled Americans. It argues that states don't have to provide in-home or community-based care under the ADA or Rehabilitation Act.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Not just dead last in Presidential rankings, but a truly loathsome "human" being in his own right & the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Someone should post this on "Truth" Social or Fox "News" so he would actually see it. #Embarrassment_In_Chief

PETERS: If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal govt, will Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule? STEINER: No PETERS: So it basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face consequences of not being able to vote by mail

Pick up a floating paint chip in the Lincoln Reflecting Pool?You're looking at 10 years in jail. But steal the Speaker of the House's lectern from the Capitol? Dude, you get a pardon! Welcome to the crazy world of Trump justice.

Warren: "I'm sorry. If you're asking me to get into Trump's head and figure out what's going on there, you need somebody else. I don't have any idea. This just doesn't make any sense other than whatever it is he wants to do, it's a complete indifference to the cost squeeze on American families."
