“An infant would be a United States citizen and full member of society if born in New Jersey, but a deportable noncitizen if born in Tennessee.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling on birthright citizenship is a Trump power grab
The implications for citizenship are complex. But when it comes to Trump’s ability to implement his policies, the result is dangerous.

Trump’s “enraged” that the media is giving major news coverage to what everyone sees: the age, the decline, the not so slow fade. And he can’t spin it away.
Bonus: folks online are calling him “Sleepy Don” because he keeps nodding off in meetings like it’s nap time at Mar a Lago.
Keep it up 👊🏽

The thing is, they lie. Over and over and over again. I don't think there's been a single incident in Chicago where their initial account proved out. Reporters should simply *not* be reporting what they say as fact, ever.
This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?
