The Prime Minister of Poland appeals to US and publicly questions whether “something has changed” to make the US no longer a European ally.
The Deputy Prime Minister responds to Musk saying the EU should be abolished by telling him to “Go to Mars.
There's no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

also birth certificates are issued by counties and there are what like 3000 counties in the US? we have no national standard for what they say. how are you gonna find out parents' status? setting aside the more important issues, this is a logistical nightmare. admin burden forever
It really cannot be stressed enough that if we don’t have birthright citizenship we don’t have citizenship.
The only Americans who have any proof of citizenship are either naturalized adults or the tiny fraction of natural born citizens who are born abroad. Everyone else has birthright citizenship.

As snow spreads across more of the U.S. and meteorological winter begins, the National Weather Service remains hampered by a staffing shortage, despite a Trump administration pledge to restore hundreds of positions cut by Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.
Winter is coming. Not all weather offices are ready.
Vacancies remain in National Weather Service offices across the country, including in some of the coldest, snowiest parts of the country.

Maybe instead of making the debate about whether one supports birthright citizenship, we should frame it as whether we support allowing the president to unilaterally decide which constitutional rights to honor.

Mom. The term this Malaysian activist and "commander" are looking for is Mom.
It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”
