Courtroom Coups, Medicaid Mayhem & the Power of the People
š¶ SCOTUS Hears Trumpās War on the 14th Amendment
Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments over Trumpās latest constitutional dumpster fire: his executive order trying to kill birthright citizenship. The order would deny U.S. citizenship to babies born here unless at least one parent is a citizen or lawful residentābecause apparently āland of the freeā now comes with paperwork and parental background checks. Lower courts already blocked the order, but Trumpās team is begging SCOTUS to greenlight it and ban nationwide injunctions while theyāre at it.
The justices looked uneasy, probably because overturning Wong Kim Ark (1898) would mean rewriting a century of constitutional law just to make white nationalists smile. If they side with Trump? Say goodbye to the 14th Amendmentāand hello to a full-blown citizenship purge.
āļø Trumpās Judicial Blitz Continues
President Trump has appointed 14 “temporary judicial appointees” to key federal courts without Senate confirmation, labeling it a “Constitutional emergency workaround.” This move is widely criticized as an illegal overreach, undermining the judiciary’s independence.
šø Floridaās Medicaid Mismanagement
Representatives Kathy Castor and Darren Soto have called for a federal investigation into the alleged diversion of $10 million in Medicaid funds by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Hope Florida Foundation, and Centene. The misuse of funds intended for vulnerable populations raises serious concerns about state-level corruption and mismanagement. (Kathy Castor)
š³ļø Maliās Democratic Crisis
