Trump asks Supreme Court to determine whether he can end birthright citizenship

resident Donald Trump on Friday asked the Supreme Court to take up his executive order on ending birthright citizenship, after a lower court deemed the order unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court previously narrowed the scope of injunctions against the executive order, finding that lower courts likely lacked the authority to issue sweeping injunctions, but did not rule on the constitutionality of the order.  

“The lower court’s decisions invalidated a policy of prime importance to the president and his administration in a manner that undermines our border security,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Supreme Court in an appeal obtained by CNN. “Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people.”

The Supreme Court has not weighed in on whether it will take up the overarching issue of ending the practice so far.

Dems, Unelected Bureaucrats Obstruct Implementation Of Trump Elections Order

Unelected bureaucrats have a well-deserved reputation for grinding things to a halt. That’s especially true when it comes to election integrity efforts. 

The grinding is particularly pronounced in the movement of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14248 on “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” 

The president signed the EO on March 25. It was an urgent call to secure a wounded elections system that, contrary to assertions from left-leaning “voter rights” groups and their stooges in the accomplice media, has been anything but “the most secure in American history.” 

Six months later, the work to meet the moment, to restore faith in America’s elections, has gotten bogged down in leftist-led court challenges, intransigent elections officials, and, per usual, slow-walking bureaucrats. 

The frustration is growing. 

“177 DAYS since @POTUS ordered new standards to secure elections,” The Republican National Lawyers Association posted on X.

“177 DAYS of @EACgov GOPers doing EVERYTHING they can within the law to adopt Pres. @realDonaldTrump‘s plan.177 DAYS of lefty, unelected bureaucrats on an ADVISORY committee abusing the law to stand in the way,” the Republican National Lawyers Association tweeted last week.”

“Disgraceful.”

US military ‘preparing to strike inside Venezuela’ in move that would mark major escalation

The United States is planning military strikes in Venezuela against drug cartels in the coming weeks. 

Donald Trump is yet to approve the actions which are in response to President Nicolas Maduro, whom the U.S. sees as illegitimate, not doing enough to stop illegal drugs from getting out of Venezuela. 

It would largely consist of drone strikes against leaders and members of gangs, as well as drug labs, NBC News reports.  

They follow a recent lethal strike on a vessel allegedly affiliated with a terrorist organization ‘trafficking illicit narcotics’.

The attack killed ‘three male narcoterrorists’ took place in the US Southern Command’s area of responsibility, the president said.

Trump administration officials expressed disappointment that the move and any of the recent military escalations do not appear to have weakened Maduro.

They’re also wary about further attacks after the backlash to the Venezuelan boat bomb. 

The White House referred to Trump’s prior comments on the matter: ‘We’ll see what happens. Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It’s not acceptable.’

Trump administration orders federal authorities to ignore California mask law

The Trump administration ordered federal authorities Friday to ignore new legislation in California banning law enforcement officers from wearing masks to conceal their identity. 

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) last Saturday signed the bill — which is slated to take effect Jan. 1, 2026 — making face coverings of local, state and federal officials a misdemeanor crime and imposing a civil penalty against officers for “tortious conduct.”

“Governor Newsom is confused about his role under the U.S. Constitution,” Bill Essayli, acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, said in a Friday post on social platform X. “He oversees California, not federal agencies. He should review the Supremacy Clause.”

“California’s law to ‘unmask’ federal agents is unconstitutional, as the state lacks jurisdiction to interfere with federal law enforcement. I have directed federal agencies to disregard this state law and adhere to federal law and agency policies,” Essayli wrote in the post, which also featured a screenshot of his letter to agency heads. 

Essayli wrote in the letter that any official or individual who attempts to impede or interfere with operations will be prosecuted by his office.

The Hill has reached out to Newsom’s office for comment.

The Department of Homeland Security also publicly rejected Newsom’s bill on Monday in a social media post.

Trump officials and Newsom clashed over the summer after the president sent National Guard soldiers and Marines to quell Los Angeles’s protests against deportation tactics.

A series of targeted raids and arrests have been carried out throughout the Golden State, which local lawmakers have said are sparking fear for families of color about their future in the United States.

Newsom said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are using masks in an effort to be “hidden from accountability” alleging that face coverings prevent “transparency” for citizens and hinder “oversight.” 

“Unmarked cars, people in masks, people quite literally disappearing. No due process, no rights—no rights in a democracy where we have rights, immigrants have rights,” Newsom said Saturday.

Now Trump demands release of Amelia Earhart files and says world must know fate of missing aviator

Donald Trump has demanded the release of any classified government files on the missing aviator Amelia Earhart.

Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female aviator to successfully circumnavigate the world in 1937. 

Ongoing investigations into a possible crash site have continued to keep the story alive in the public imagination, but no trace of Earhart has ever been found. 

Trump said it’s an ‘interesting story’ that has ‘captivated millions.’ He said people have asked him whether he’d consider declassifying and making public everything the government has on her. 

‘She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation `firsts,´’ he wrote on his social media site. 

‘She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World.

‘Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again,’ he continued. 

‘Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her.’

Supreme Court Rules That Trump Can Withhold $4 Billion in Foreign Aid

The US Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 that President Trump can withhold $4 billion in foreign aid approved by Congress.

The three liberal justices, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson, dissented.

Earlier this month, US District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, blocked President Trump from cutting billions of dollars in USAID and foreign aid that Congress authorized.

Judge Ali ordered Trump to spend the money by the end of the month. Trump immediately appealed.

According to CNBC, the Supreme Court said, “the asserted harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm.”

CNN reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump to freeze $4 billion in foreign aid payments, handing the White House a significant victory in its months-long quest to claw back spending that was approved by Congress last year.

At issue is $4 billion in foreign aid, including for global health and HIV programs, that was allocated by Congress, but that Trump deemed wasteful and has been fighting on two fronts. In addition to defending the aid cuts in federal court, his administration is also seeking to “rescind” the money through Congress.

Trump Calls for Microsoft to ‘Terminate’ Former Biden Deputy AG Lisa Monaco

President Donald Trump called for Microsoft to “immediately terminate” former Biden Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, whom the company hired to be the President of Global Affairs.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump labeled Monaco “Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged,” and noted that she had served under former President Barack Obama, former President Joe Biden, and former Attorney General Merrick Garland, “Who were all the architects of the worst ever Deep State Conspiracies” against the United States.

Trump continued to note that his administration had “stripped her of all Security Clearances” and had taken away Monaco’s access to National Security Intelligence.

“Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information,” Trump said. “Monaco’s having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”

Trump Signs Memorandum to Combat Domestic Terror, Organized Political Violence

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a memorandum to combat domestic terrorism and organized political violence in the United States.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller presented the document to Trump during a signing event in the Oval Office, saying that the executive action marks “the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa.”

The move aims to build on an executive order signed by Trump on Sept. 22 that designates Antifa a domestic terrorism organization.

Trump attributed the executive action to a rise in left-wing violence across the United States, coming after the Sept. 10 assassination of conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk.

These allegations escalated in the wake of a Sept. 24 shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility that left one dead and two injured. Bullets found at the scene contain anti-ICE messaging. All three victims of the attack were detainees at the facility, and no law enforcement officers were wounded in the shooting.

In a post on Truth Social after that attack, Trump wrote, “The continuing violence from Radical Left Terrorists, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, must be stopped.”

The Vaccine Schedule Finally Under Fire

Well, Donald Trump did it. He scheduled a news conference on the science of autism, what we know and what we do not, and handled it masterfully. He is profoundly aware that as a parent and the president of the United States that he can make points that his own science advisors cannot make for reasons political, sociological, and scientific.

Trump, however, knows that expecting mothers and families still have to make decisions and those decisions could affect the health and well-being of their children for the rest of their lives. Nothing is more important. Meanwhile, autism is an epidemic. Something is causing this.

There is no such thing as a genetic epidemic. Nor is this traceable to changed definitions of the term else we would see a growing distribution among adults too, which we do not. FDA head Marty Makary, normally very cautious and careful in his statements, said the straightforward thing that no one has stated as clearly: autism is preventable.

Though Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Jay Bhattacharya, and Mehmet Oz were there and speaking, it was Trump who bravely took the burden upon himself to say what vast numbers of parents and doctors suspect and know but have heretofore occupied the realm of forbidden thought. He laid out two main culprits: Tylenol for birthing mothers and infants and the packed vaccine schedule that hits tiny babies with a cocktail of shots that have never been studied in their combined effects.

Trump was extremely clear.

Don’t take Tylenol. Also the schedule should be changed so that each shot is a separate vaccine spaced out over years. Further, some shots like HepB should wait until the age of 12 if they are taken at all. This would mean no more MMR, much less an MMRV shot that adds chickenpox to the soup. It would mean one shot for measles, one for mumps, one for rubella, and so on.

The products do not currently exist in that form. The whole trajectory has been to batch them up and this happened at the same time we’ve seen an explosion in autism cases. It is not a stretch at all to assume a connection. And Trump explained the stories of so many mothers, more than half, who report dramatic and immediate behavioral and cognitive changes following a vaccine.

These people have been gaslighted for 40 years. They have been called all sorts of terrible names. The scientists who have taken up their case have been shut out of academia, professional societies, journals, and been declared nonpersons. But they never relented. Trump has personally agreed with them for 20 years, a dating of his own. He and Kennedy have long had private discussions about it.

The entire field is a landmine filled with dangers both cultural and industrial. At some point, Trump realized that if anyone was going to break the logjam on this topic, it would need to be him. So he did it, and went much further than anyone—I mean anyone!—expected.

Trump’s DOJ Goes to War Against Race-Based Voting: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon and Solicitor General John Sauer Argue Before Supreme Court to ABOLISH Rigged Voting Rights Act Districts

In a landmark case that could reshape American elections for decades, President Trump’s Department of Justice, through Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon and Solicitor General John Sauer, told the U.S. Supreme Court that race-based congressional districts must end once and for all.

The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.

The brief was unambiguous: the Voting Rights Act (VRA) cannot be twisted into a tool for perpetual racial gerrymandering.

“Today at SCOTUS, the [DOJ Civil Rights Division] told the Justices that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act cannot constitutionally require race-predominant districting!” Dhillon wrote on X.
