Understanding the Long Fight Over Birthright Citizenship

In rejecting President Donald Trump’s attempt to end automatic US citizenship for children born to parents who are in the country unlawfully or on temporary visas, the Supreme Court on June 30 upheld more than a century of legal precedent. There have been previous efforts to put restrictions on birthright citizenship dating back to decades after the concept was enshrined in the US Constitution. The Supreme Court has asserted, again, that such attempts can’t be squared with the document’s 14th Am

Winner takes fall: Understanding the memorandum of understanding with Iran

When is a treaty not a treaty? When it is a deal of the kind that the Obama administration struck with Iran in 2015. When is a deal not a deal? When it is the kind of agreement that President Donald Trump signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles on June 17: a memorandum […]

GOP is finally 'coming to understand' threat Trump poses — but may be 'too late': analysis

President Donald Trump has spent the last several weeks sparking chaos for Senate Republicans, who only now, according to New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, are “coming to understand” the threat the president poses, though the realization may be “a bit too late.”Trump has aggressively pushed Senate Republicans to advance his controversial voter ID bill known as the SAVE Act, despite Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s insistence that the bill lacks adequate support in the GOP caucus. Trump also derailed the Senate GOP’s entire agenda with a surprise cancellation of a Senate confirmation hearing, and caused further chaos by refusing to sign a bi-partisan bill on affordable housing.With the midterm elections just months away, Senate Republicans, Bouie argued, are starting to wake up to the threat Trump poses for their own political survival.“Trump does not identify himself with the Republican Party. He identifies himself with his own political standing. And so, if he feels he needs to do something to protect his standing that harms Republicans, he’ll do it without even thinking,” Bouie said in an episode of “The Opinions,” transcribed by The New York Times. “And Senate Republicans in particular, who did not expect to be fighting for their majority this fall, are somehow only now coming to understand that, yes, if you are in his way, he is going to make life difficult for you, even if that costs you a Senate majority. And there’s a 50/50 chance, 60/40 chance that, yeah, it costs the Republicans their Senate majority.”Amid Trump’s cratering favorability among Americans, the Senate may very well end up in Democratic Party control, an idea that analysts previously thought unthinkable. But Senate Republicans’ realization may have come too late, Bouie argued.“Politically for them, it’s just like a bit too late, right?” Bouie said. “They already spent all of 2025 tying themselves incredibly tightly to the administration under, as I read it, irrational exuberance – this idea that kind of caught hold, I think, throughout a large part of American politics that Trump’s win represented some sort of MAGA sea change in American life.”
