Well, everyone knows Angus’s capacity to have a healthy relationship with social media died at Little Tweethorn. What this account presupposes is: maybe it didn’t?

If your great grandparents came to this country from Galicia in the early 1900s, how do you prove you're a citizen? You gotta produce like 3 generations of birth certificates + naturalization documents?
It really cannot be stressed enough that if we don’t have birthright citizenship we don’t have citizenship.
The only Americans who have any proof of citizenship are either naturalized adults or the tiny fraction of natural born citizens who are born abroad. Everyone else has birthright citizenship.

I also think of Dred Scott as a crucial moment in constitutional history in which popular politics (and of course war) successfully repudiated an openly partisan reading of the Constitution by the Court.
There are lessons progressives can glean from that in the 21st century.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Birthright citizenship is good policy - the arguments that it’s not all seem either race stuff or the unfairness that other people have to wait.
We can fix that by admitting more naturalized citizens.

one of the reasons the Muppets are great is because they allow adults to engage in one of the joys of childhood; pretending something is alive and real when you know it isn't. Kermit and Miss Piggy are everyone's favorite toys.

the thing is that blowing up drug boats is just murder. no law licenses it. it is just war crimes. but to say out loud what the penalty for committing them is puts us in the position of accusing high government officials of capital crimes.
it is critically important to be able to say the obvious.

Unless, that is, Van Epps falls victim to a series of ludicrous travel mishaps, each more improbable than the last, on his way to Washington.
JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.
As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Between dropping the charges against Eric Adams (who took funding out of Turkey) and Henry Cuellar (who worked as an agent for Azerbaijan), Trump is tossing the doors as wide open as possible to foreign regimes trying to buy off American politicians.

They thought it was an act! They assumed Hegseth was insincere in his open advocacy of war crimes because they too are insincere in their beliefs.
I also think this is why the media lets so many Trump insanities slide: they assume he is insincere because they are too!

This person who openly advocates war crimes, who lobbied for pardons for war criminals, and repeatedly disdains the laws and ethics of war, the one we confirmed as Secretary of Defense, turns out to have done war crimes. Shocking!
(But hey, if they're finally coming around, better late than never.)
