A reminder that, no, the president (for that matter, the government) cannot strip a natural born citizen of her citizenship. That said, if this renegade SCOTUS wants to change the clear letter of the law, I can think of at least 3, maybe 5, justices the next president might consider denaturalizing.

Definitely a first in American Jewish history. Previous presidents might have thought it, but they never said jt.

Hey fellow Jerseyans. Don’t be fooled by Jack Chitarelli. He’s not a “normie” Republican. Those no longer exist. He’s MAGA. Like all MAGAs he’s an extremist, a hate monger, and has an unhealthy obsession with girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. This is a campaign text I just received.

I don’t share the point of view that this is way down on the list of problems. It’s enormously unsettling. He doesn’t own the White House. It belongs to the country. It was never his to demolish and replace with a shitty Atlantic City casino ballroom. The next president should bulldoze and rebuild.

My vote in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary goes to the first candidate who pledges to demolish the Trump wing of the WH and restore the old East Wing. And make all the companies who paid for this bullshit pay to build it back.

This article is at once shocking and entirely predictable. Today's GOP is a breeding ground for violent, disturbed young men and women who genuinely hate living in a diverse liberal democracy. The young leaders profiled in this piece are dangerous people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump managed to take a moment in which he could legitimately have claimed a statesman’s mantle and managed to debase himself and embarrass the United States. On brand.

So much wrong with this. But let’s just pull one thread. If they wanted a “post-racial nation,” maybe they could have cooled it with the long-form birth certificate shit. Idk. I’m just spitballing here.

This feels like a massive self own. Voters like national parks. They get testy when the IRS doesn’t return calls about tax refunds. I imagine ICE agents will be none to keen to work for free. Who exactly would all of this benefit politically? Not Republicans.
