My son has a Consular Report of Birth of a US Citizen Abroad.
He was born in a US Army hospital in Germany, and according to the document "acquired US Citizenship at birth".
And while his mother and sister and I all have valid passports, they're not the same.

they probably did, but anyone in the chain of command, up or down, who doesn't refuse an unlawful order is culpable under the law.
You can argue levels or amounts of culpability for sentencing, but the law is clear.
executing an order you know to be unlawful is, itself, and unlawful act.

And we know that he knows that because the story keeps changing. Like they're hoping to stumble upon a legal theory that doesn't have them all in cells.

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.

Supposedly it does. I don't think shortening the barrel by 3 inches, and the resultant requirement to up the chamber pressure to maintain performance are going to be worth the trade-off in weight reduction.

Enemies lists were only a matter of time.

Also, EVERY procurement program is based on assumptions that may or may not bear out.
Remember that the M-16 had a LOT of teething problems and many of them were solved with the A1 version but it never became the rifle it was supposed to be until the A2.
And that was 20 years into it.

That may be the case, but Cotton there was all but disavowing it after two days of talking about how clean and legal it was.

If SCOTUS planned to uphold birthright citizenship, they would’ve left the lower-court rulings untouched. Taking the case is the tell. You don’t grab a 150-year precedent just to admire it. They took it because they intend to change it. Pretending otherwise is denial.

all a bit esoteric and it's not exactly a messaging winner, but: america is a religion, and a proselytizing one. that's what being a creedal nation means. come to america, endorse the principles of the declaration and the constitution: congrats, you are an american.

These boots are made for kicking the shit out of Trumpers, apparently.

from a state party director

It's always the least masculine among us who say shit like this.

Freddie says Hi!

I gotta ask-- do they think that transwomen might have some sort of advantage over non-transwomen in video games?

Well, the only successful part of Jack's military career was watching other men pee all over the MDW, so I'm thinking he's got room to manuver.

Olivia Nuzzi: yes, she helped endanger every child in America, but at least she isn't sorry about it

Kash Patel has been using FBI agents to drive his girlfriend’s drunk friends home. It’s the kind of corruption that will drive him from office, if it turns out that anyone involved was a Democrat.

And if you're VERY lucky, it's a peace enforced by an invading and occupying army that stays in one form or another for ~20 years like Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Republicans have tanked the economy and turned the country into a corrupt autocracy. But my NPR-loving neighbor has been giving me a hard time about my gas-powered leaf blower. I've never felt more politically homeless.

Funny how 7-10 million of us managed to gather all over the country without a single violent incident that was not instigated by MAGA. But the minute a few hundred of us gather to protest ICE we turn into violent rioters who need to be pepper sprayed?

Smells like, complete and utter bullshit.

well, there are about 250 Soldiers there, but it's 1A HQ and some project managers, so I think it's an Army post, but probably feels pretty unreal.

In which Ben Shapiro admits to understanding that releasing the Epstein files will destroy Trump's presidency.

I'm not particularly worried about them.

What (if you know) was the reason they didn't do it?

The idea that they want only legal immigration was a lie from the start.

People demanding to know why I won't ever vote for him in a Democratic primary, and they don't like the truth that he's only a Democrat when there's a primary outside Vermont.
I don't support Democrats of convenience.
He's made a few good points on a few things, but he still does shit like this.

what's truly hilarious is that Kurt spent his entire adult life wearing Infantry branch insignia in the National Guard, and then when he had multiple chances to go downrange, found something else to do each time.
All the while bragging about being an Infantry officer.

In Utah, the cheapest gas I've found was $2.36/gal at Costco and Sam's Club.
It's $1.99/gal in parts of the OKC metro.
But that's not because of anything positive Trump did. It's because the economy is cratering, just like in his last presidency.
