@historians.org NewspaperArchive is still down more than a month later, and I've seen you do absolutely zero to address the issue of what ought to be readily available--the nation's historic newspapers--plopped behind a paywall by a company that couldn't be bothered with security measures.

If the government were correct that the domicile-related intent of parents to stay in a country or not is material to the citizenship of babies born to them, then the babies of any Jewish people who intend to make aliyah should not be birthright citizens.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. It's peculiar that a country of gun fetishists puts up no resistance.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Hey Chris Murphy's intern: I am completely serious about this. Ask him to get with Congressional leaders and have them begin meeting AS A CONGRESS without the sanction of the Speaker. A shadow Congress, or what the Brits used to call an "anti-parliament."
