@real_122109 @_PhallonX0X0 Most of the social safety net and programs that help Americans, were created by democrats. Republicans continue the long march toward making Government not work, then complaining when it doesn't

@SaraForTexLege We will have the elections. All that matters at any cost is ensuring they are as "free and fair" as can be.

@KaiKaiPDX @SaraForTexLege @SabZillAfoRilla If he even decides to put things back together a little. I vehemently believe he would be fine with being president of the ashes left by Trump
English
@SaraForTexLege @SabZillAfoRilla The worse they let Trump fuck things up before he either dies or is 25th’d, the more JD Vance is going to look like a Savior by doing the absolute minimum to put things back together…..

@DemWallet @askDinaDoll @MeidasTouch Maybe some but the national republican party would be hanged by their donors if citizens united were to be allowed to end directly or indirectly
English
@askDinaDoll @MeidasTouch and you do realize that Republicans are okay with blocking corporate money?
English
NEWS: Deep red Montana just moved to take on Citizens United proposing a novel and legally grounded voter initiative to block corporate money in political campaigns. @MeidasTouch

@leonardaneman @RealTheoWold Laws by Congress do not preempt Supreme Court precedent. Only amending of the constitution can change that. That is what happened with the thirteenth amendment and Dredd Scott decision.
English
@Constantius421 @RealTheoWold If the court upholds birthright citizenship, there will be strong dissent within the court itself.
Under the constitution, Art I Sec 8 gives congress plenary power over naturalization, so it can convene and overturn the Supreme Court decision.
English
@leonardaneman @RealTheoWold Not entirely, if SCOTUS upholds birthright citizenship. Then any attempt to restrict it is very narrow and likely negligible
English
@RealTheoWold Actually, it is an Article I issue and congress can properly interpret 8 USC 1401, INA §301 according to the original intent.
Congress was given plenary power over immigration and naturalization by the constitution itself, ArtISec8.

@boggeerr @OurOwnNation Because 49.8% of the 2024 electorate were stupidly conned by a man trying to do anything but go to prison. Half of that are straight up kool-aid drinkers, 30% are just republicans voting republican and the other 20% are people desperate enough for change, they voted for a pedo
English
@OurOwnNation You can’t pull a wagon without wheels, a toddler could tell you that. How did these idiots get into power?
English
No religious exemptions, no conscientious objectors.

@PerfectFitFarm @adamscochran @ProgressNow00 Maybe. This administration is both evil and incompetent. But still EVIL
English
@adamscochran @ProgressNow00 Could they be reacting to rumors of someone organizing a 25A effort?
English
The same day that Hegseth fires multiple senior army leaders, he announces that individuals "trusted" by the administration will be able to carry arms on base...
On the same day Trump is purging his cabinet...
This is like coup level shit.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.
English
@ShaunaS36092585 @harshcritic1985 @adamscochran It could be that. There was an effort that forced out the admiral overseeing Venezuela operation. Or they see thr writing on the wall and are preparing drastic measures to hold onto power.
English
@adamscochran Extinction burst coming from Trump administration. They see the writing on the wall and know it's nearly over for them. They are potentially trying to put cards in place for after midterms. Or someone told Trump the war is going terribly and is purging those "responsible"
English
@ryanswalters73 The loud minority of moronic MAGA are screaming their fringe and unhinged theory is somehow the majority view of those who passed the fourteenth amendment
English
It’s so simple, only a complete moron, or TDS leftist, could possibly misunderstand it. A simple understanding of language, punctuation, and sentence structure helps too.
Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan introduced the 14th amendment and said this:
"This amendment which I have offered, is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."

@RetroCoast "If SCOTUS doesn't throw out constitution and conservative jurisprudence to rule in favor of my desired outcome, then SCOTUS is illegitimate."
-Retro Coast
English
The Birthright Citizenship case is not about birthright citizenship.
It's about the legitimacy of the Supreme Court itself.
Clearly the 14th Amendment was not meant to give citizenship to anchor babies. That's not even in dispute.
The legitimacy of the Supreme Court is on trial.
If they get this one wrong- then clearly, we do not have a functioning judiciary system.
Only political activists masquerading as Judges.
English
@electronicgogo @keithedwards @MountainDreami2 That is pretty evident. Trump is like Joffrey from GOT, the council is running the show and just telling the petulant brat the simplified report
English
@keithedwards @MountainDreami2 just imagine what their internal polling numbers are showing for all these rumors to be flying around😳
no one's in charge of anything anymore
g.o.p. = 💀💀💀

@AlxndrBrwn87 @unusual_whales Probably not. Only construction jobs and i think the jobs associated with production of drugs is largely oversight of automation
English
@unusual_whales Does this
In fact make people manufacture them at home? And idk create jobs 🤷♂️
Why are we so caught up with buying everything from somewhere else?
English
Trump administration prepares up to 100% pharmaceutical tariffs on some imported drugs, per CNBC
English
@WallStreetMav We were already on the path to status of 3rd world shithole after Bill Clinton dragged the democratic party to kiss wall streets asa
English
What is the solution if the US Supreme Court sides with the left and says children from illegals and tourists are automatic US citizens?
Are we doomed to just sit here and watch the slow decline into the USA just becoming another 3rd world shithole?
That seems to be the path and it is depressing to think about.
English
@TheFirstonTV @RealTheoWold My only critique is thr explanation of constitutional amendment. Amendment can originate in Congress, requiring two-thirds in each chamber to pass and 3/4 (38) of state legislatures to ratify. Or a convention of states can be called to amend but requires 3/4 states to ratify
English
If SCOTUS refuses to overturn birthright citizenship, what's next? @RealTheoWold suggests amending the Constitution.
English
@0RealmReporter0 @TimcastNews @realTateBrown @MayraFlores4TX Well, Hispanics have to be pandered to. Poll after poll has shown, the gains in racial demographics made by Trump have evaporated. The actions of ICE, whether you agree or not, have targeted their communities and caused voter remorse. Pushing Hispanics (un)willingly back to dems
English
@TimcastNews @realTateBrown @MayraFlores4TX She is pushing the exact Republican autopsy narrative that was pushed before the 2016 election. Marco and Ted Cruz had a debate on stage over who could speak Spanish better. This was REJECTED by the voters and is now being championed again.
English
.@realTateBrown tells @MayraFlores4TX that building a strategy around pandering to Hispanic voters, a bloc with many dual loyalty interests that conflict with American conservative interests, risks long-term poisonous harm to the GOP.
English
@megbasham Conservatives have already given up on the Court because the terrorist rapist war criminal in the white house tells them so. Conservatives yearn to be dominated so much, it doesn't have to be by an "alpha." They are dominated by a NY Billionaire who is fat and gay
English
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will decide on the question of birthright citizenship. But I know this, if the courts continue to enforce practices that increase chaos, destruction, and division within the United States, like allowing 1.5 million Chinese nationals to vote because they happened to be born in an American hospital, people will very soon stop respecting the courts.
And then things will really get dangerous.
English
@VictoriaZeev @JesseKellyDC @elonmusk Conservatives are the most submissive people on earth. They love authority, have daddy issues, and need a demented old man with clown make up to tell them what to say, support, or think.
English
@JesseKellyDC @elonmusk Removing judges to ‘save’ a country… sounds more like replacing the rule of law with whatever you call control.
English
Bukele didn’t save El Salvador because he arrested all the criminals.
He saved it because he removed the judges.
Communist judges are the sword and shield of the communist revolution here in America. Removing them is everything.

The Trump administration must restore the legal status of potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States legally through a Biden-era pathway, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. abcnews.link/iAn9X3o
