Trump Asks the Supreme Court for a “Catch Me if You Can” System of Justice

/

To End Birthright Citizenship, Trump Is Rewriting Civil War History

/

When the Trump administration asks the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to deny birthright citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants and visa holders, its legal theory will rest on a reinterpretation of a critical phrase of the Constitution.

/

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.

We Still Don’t Know What Kash Patel Did as a Consultant for Qatar

/

In a curious twist during his confirmation process, Kash Patel failed to disclose significant personal financial information until after the Senate hearing in January on his nomination to become FBI director.
