“Reporting Trump contradicted himself within one week ruled extremism in new executive order.”

My wild guess at this would be “yes, this was for the slaves to right a wrong but it was never intended to allow anyone at any time to give birth here. Going forward, there will be no birthright citizenship. We need to close the citizenship loophole.” I hope I’m wrong.
worth saying that some portion of the freed slaves were themselves illegal aliens having been brought illegally into the united states by smugglers. if the birthright clause applies to them, it applies to undocumented immigrants
Here is the question presented. It's a relatively clean vehicle for the Supreme Court to finally decide whether it is lawful for the president to deny birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

This is why I hate the defenders of the tech. If there was a human driver, this was totally avoidable. The woman who noticed the cat could have told a human, “don’t move. There’s a cat underneath.” And they would obey. Waymo unnecessarily killed the cat.

If I worked at Yelp, I’d add a feature that if you’re writing a negative review of a bar after midnight, you’d get prompted, “If you’ve been drinking before writing this review, are you sure you want this posted?”And if you click yes, you get, “we will ask again in 14 hours. Your review is saved.”

Predictive scheduling laws are still a fairly recent intervention and corporations are already illegally circumventing them. Government needs to treat corporations like the enemy that they are.

The New York Times, where the popular mayor-elect of their city is a fringe figure, but the QAnon podcaster who asked him a racist question comes out as a "winner"
This newspaper hates its readers as much as Republicans hate their voters. And if you're still supporting either, you deserve it.

What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?
