Supreme Court will review Trump’s plan to ban birthright citizenship

The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would hear oral arguments for President Donald Trump’s plan to end automatic birthright citizenship for individuals born in the U.S. to illegal migrants.

Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship has been halted by three district courts across the U.S., according to The Associated Press.

The Supreme Court will hear the oral arguments on May 15.

Trump’s policy to end birthright citizenship is blocked across the nation.

Birthright citizenship has been allowed due to the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which allows automatic citizenship to almost anyone born in the United States.

Some conservative scholars have argued that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment doesn’t grant citizenship to children of immigrants if they are born in the U.S., while liberal scholars argue it does.

Leaked White House Document Reveals Monster Budget Cut Proposal For Federal Health Agencies

The Trump administration could slash roughly one-third of the federal government’s bloated health budget, a leaked White House proposal shows. The plan, first reported by the Washington Post and detailed in documents acquired by CNN, calls for slashing “tens of billions of dollars” annually, targeting a host of programs across multiple agencies.

The proposal, already sent to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), aligns with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative and tech titan Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, sources say.

The proposal, part of President Donald Trump’s broader push to curb government waste, would eliminate billions in annual spending and reign in a sprawling bureaucracy that employs 82,000 workers across 10 regional offices, with average salaries of $100,000 plus generous benefits.

White House Science Chief Says US Can “Manipulate Time and Space” — Trump Hints at Secret Weapons “No One Knows About”

In a bold and somewhat cryptic statement that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows across the globe, White House tech chief Michael Kratsios claimed the United States has cutting-edge technology capable of ‘manipulating time and space.’

Kratsios, who serves as Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the comment during a keynote speech at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas.

Just weeks into his new role, Kratsios wasted no time painting a picture of American innovation that, if true, would in all likelihood place us light-years ahead of our global competitors.

“We seem to have lost focus and vision, to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along. But we are capable of so much more. Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance, violated, cause things to grow and improve productivity,” Kratsios said.

France helped Zelensky write apology letter to Trump

French diplomats reportedly helped Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky write a conciliatory letter to US President Donald Trump in a bid to help the two leaders mend ties, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing an anonymous official.

Relations between Trump and Zelensky soured following the Ukrainian leader’s visit to Washington in late February. During a meeting at the White House, which included US Vice President J.D. Vance, Zelensky pushed back against Trump’s attempts to get Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table.

In response, Trump and Vance accused Zelensky of being ungrateful for US support and “gambling with World War III” by refusing to engage in peace talks with Moscow. The meeting was cut short and Zelensky was told to leave and come back only when he is ready for peace. Trump also temporarily halted all US military assistance to Ukraine after the heated exchange, but later resumed support after Kiev agreed to a 30-day ceasefire proposal.

Trump wants some illegal migrants to stay in US and help farmers pick crops – proposes they self-deport and return legally: ‘Going to give them a stipend’ 

President Trump proposed Tuesday that illegal migrants who self-deport would get priority consideration for legal status if they still want to live in the US — even saying the government would provide them a plane ticket and cash to speed the process along.

“We’re going to give them a stipend,” Trump, 78, told Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an interview aired Tuesday.

“We’re going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we’re going to work with them,” he added. “If they’re good, if we want them back in, we’re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.”

Trump insisted that the administration’s priority is still deporting migrant criminals — not those who merely crossed the border illegally.

“We want our great people to stay,” he said in response to a question from Campos-Duffy about an illegal migrant who had been in the US for 20 years and built a family.

Teenager Accused of Murdering Parents and Planning to Assassinate President Trump Discussed His Plans for a Drone Attack in Online Conversations With Ukrainian: FBI DOCS

Back in February, the US was shocked by the news that Nikita Casap, a 17-year-old from Waukesha, Wisconsin, was arrested, accused of killing his mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer.

The reason why? To gain ‘financial means and autonomy’ to implement a deranged terrorist attack against President Donald J. Trump.

According to Federal authorities, Casap planned to assassinate Trump to ‘spark a political revolution’ and ‘save the white race’, objectives that he outlined in a three-page manifesto.

The teen was connected with neo-Nazi groups like the Order of Nine Angles – and with disturbing foreign ties to Ukrainian militants.

Trump Admin Orders Halt to Offshore Wind Project Near New York

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said on April 16 that he had ordered a halt to the construction of a major wind project off the coast of New York “until further review.”

Burgum, posting to the social platform X on Wednesday, said he had consulted with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to direct the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to “halt all construction activities” on Equinor’s Empire Wind project. The Biden administration approved the project in 2023, with construction beginning last year.

The interior secretary accused the former administration of “rush[ing] through its approval without sufficient analysis.” He did not provide further details on potential faults identified.

“On day one, [President Donald Trump] called for comprehensive reviews of federal wind projects and wind leasing, and at Interior, we are doing our part to make sure these instructions are followed,” Burgum wrote in a follow-up post.

The Interior Department did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

Equinor, a Norway-based company, was supported by President Joe Biden in his efforts to expand renewable energy projects.

California Governor Gavin Newsom Announces Lawsuit Against President Trump

President Trump’s constitutional authority is about to face another serious challenge thanks to the governor of the most populous state in the union.

As KTLA reported, California Governor and likely 2028 Presidential candidate Gavin Newsom announced this morning he will be suing Trump, claiming that the president’s tariffs are “wrecking chaos” across the Golden State. This marks the first time a state has taken legal action against Trump over tariffs.

The suit filed by Newsom will argue that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China or a 10% tariff on all imports violates the U.S. Constitution. The act, which was signed in law by then-President Jimmy Carter in 1977, enables a president to freeze and block transactions in response to foreign threats.

“President Trump’s unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy — driving up prices and threatening jobs,” Newsom fumed in a statement. “We’re standing up for American families who can’t afford to let the chaos continue.”

Newsom went on to argue that California could lose billions of dollars due to Trump’s tariffs.

KTLA reports that the suit will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, a Democrat-friendly venue. The state of California is expected to request the court to immediately block the tariffs.

As KTLA notes, Newsom’s move comes after he has begged countries to grant California counties a special exemption from tariffs.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Trump announced on April 2 the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025. The worst offenders will be hit with even tougher measures on April 9.

Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, President Trump proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” marking a new era of economic independence.

He emphasized that this measure is essential to protect American jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing.

President Trump Signs Executive Order Barring Illegal Aliens From Receiving Social Security

President Trump on Tuesday signed a flurry of executive orders.

One executive order is aimed at banning illegal aliens from getting Social Security benefits.

Earlier this month DOGE executive Antonio Gracias, the founder of Valor Equity Partners, revealed shocking information on how illegal aliens and even violent illegal aliens are accessing government benefits and even voting.

“We mapped it through to the benefit programs. We found in the benefit programs that every benefit program that was being accessed by these people, 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping. It’s just starting. Just to give you a point. And then out of curiosity, I woke up at 2: 00 in the morning. I couldn’t sleep. My mind was running on this. I sent the individual note saying, Hey, guys, let’s just look at the public voter rolls who we find in some friendly states. And we looked at the voter rolls, and we found that thousands of them were registered to vote in a handful of states. And then we went in further with those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted. It was shocking to us,” Antonio Gracias said on a podcast interview.

DOGE has also launched an unprecedented cleanup operation after it was revealed over 7 million supposed Social Security numberholders aged 120 and older were receiving benefits.

On Tuesday President Trump signed an executive order to ensure ineligible aliens are not receiving funds from Social Security Act programs.

Here’s What You Need to Know: Trump Did Not Ignore a Supreme Court Ruling in El Salvador Deportation Case

The media would have you believe that President Trump defied a Supreme Court ruling in the deportation case of Kilmar Abrego García, an MS-13 gang member recently returned to El Salvador.

However, his gang affiliation was established by an immigration court back in 2019. The deportation itself is legal.

The only legal question is whether he should have been sent to El Salvador, given that he had “withholding of removal” status due to a credible fear of gang violence.

The Supreme Court has ordered the administration to facilitate his return from El Salvador—but President Nayib Bukele has refused to hand over one of his own citizens, and the United States has no authority to forcibly retrieve him.

The media has completely misrepresented this case, sparking outrage among liberals who claim the man is a victim. They keep referring to him as “a Maryland man,” implying that he is a U.S. citizen. But he is not.

He was a U.S. resident who happened to be living in Maryland. In reality, he is a citizen of El Salvador who entered the United States in 2011 at the age of 16.

In most cases, the U.S. deports individuals to their country of citizenship or, if that’s not possible, to the last country they resided in before entering the U.S. which both instances is El Salvador.
