The dissent is based on the idea that birthright citizenship is based on 'allegiance' of parents imputed to baby, but p-eg German Jews to Nazi Germany[?] so baby is still Nazi allegiant. So is the Jew with dual citizenship aren't US citizens nor are their children if dual Israeli citizens...

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

Trump's arena is his conception of what America should become during the next 250 years: A country where the underclass fight each other for the entertainment of their masters. Rulers have the right to degrade those they rule.

It would save time if Trump would list all the countries he would just blow up if they are disobedient to his tweets. That might be some comfort to Oman.

Trump: "Oman will behave like anyone else or we'll blow them up." Yes, he said that probably prompted by a report in Reuters that Iran and Oman would manage the Strait of Hormuz. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Reading between the lines, Iran's view of the US tactics and sense of impunity outside any International law bounds (Trump "My morality is the law (!) ) is the subtext of European statements, especially from the Germany.

“These crimes, and the west’s silence in the face of them, are only possible when there is a sense of impunity. This false sense of superiority and immunity must be shattered by all of us.” Iran sounds a lot more responsible than the US, and is in fact closer to China's positions than is the US.

The windfall profits being made by energy producers as a result of Trump's War are a big reason he's doing it and being supported by MAGA Congress. Don't let that remain unsaid in the election campaign.

Iran has stated if it attacked it will complete enrichment. Its remaining nuclear production is in a really bomb proof location and probably also partially dispersed. Easily making a dirty bomb possible without further enrichment.

In an age of counter factuals, science is and must remain objectively curious and unconstrained by convenience, that is the path to innovation, discovery, and freedom. Support the instition of science. While imperfect, misinformation and exploitation is not a viable substitute.

The US is in the worst possible position to negotiate anything with China. All the tariffs are ruled illegal. Inflation is on the way up and going higher. Critical minerals remain a choke point, electronic components are at China's discretion , Taiwan exports could be blocked.

The SC essentially said in a previous case that partisan gerrymandering is Constitutional, I assume because the Maga majority see no right to majority rule in the constitution: they already ruled that money is speech so have made the US a constitutional oligarchy.

There would be a ballroom if Trump hadn't destroyed the existing ballroom. The Strait of Hormuz would be open and gas wouldn't cost 4$ a gallon if Trump hadn't attacked Iran. Actions have consequences.

There would already be a ball room if Trump had demolished it. Just like the Strait of Hormuz would be open and gas wouldn't cost 4$ a gallon if Trump hadn't attacked Iran. Consequences.
