Supreme Court Allows Trump To Partially Enforce Birthright Citizenship Order

    Just in…

    The Supreme Court granted a partial stay Friday of President Donald Trump’s request to block lower courts from issuing universal injunctions, granting a par victory for the administration as it looks to execute many of its top priorities via executive order and action. 

    In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines allowed President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country, for now, by curtailing judges’ ability to block the president’s policies nationwide. 

    Ruling that three federal district judges went too far in issuing nationwide injunctions against Trump’s order, the high court’s decision claws back a key tool that plaintiffs have used to hamper the president’s agenda in dozens of lawsuits. 

    But it does not yet definitively resolve whether Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship are constitutional, a hefty legal question that could ultimately return to the justices. 

    “The applications do not raise—and thus we do not address—the question whether the Executive Order violates the Citizenship Clause or Nationality Act,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, writing for the majority. “The issue before us is one of remedy: whether, under the Judiciary Act of 1789, federal courts have equitable authority to issue universal injunctions.”

    “A universal injunction can be justified only as an exercise of equitable authority, yet Congress has granted federal courts no such power,” she added.

    Usha Vance Addresses Possibility Of Becoming First Lady In 2028

    0
    By Office of Vice President of the United States - @VP on X, Public Domain,

    Second Lady Usha Vance is taking it day by day.

    During a recent interview, the second lady responded to speculation her husband, JD Vance, is angling to be the next Republican presidential nominee.

    “People do ask about it,” Usha Vance told Meghan McCain on her podcast “Citizen McCain.”

    While she acknowledged the possibility of her husband, Vice President JD Vance, running for president, Usha Vance emphasized that she moved into the Washington area with “no intention whatsoever” of considering his political future. However, she pointed out that she also had no intention of being involved in politics four years ago.

    For now, Usha Vance said she is focused on the present, though she did not completely dismiss the idea.

    “My attitude is that this is a four-year period where I have a set of responsibilities to my family, to myself, to obviously the country and that’s really what I’m focused on,” Usha Vance said. “I’m not plotting out next steps or really trying for anything after this.”

    She continued, “In a dream world, eventually I’ll be able to live in my home and kind of continue my career and all those sorts of things. And if that happens in four years, I understand. If that happens in some other point in the future, I understand. Just sort of along for the ride and enjoying it while I can.”

    As vice president, Vance is considered the political frontrunner to be the Republican nominee for president in 2028.

    “I really am just not focused on politics. I’m not focused on the midterm elections in 2026, much less the presidential election in 2028. When we get to that point, I’ll talk to the president. We’ll figure out what we want to do,” Vance told Lawrence Jones in a “Fox & Friends” exclusive interview in April.

    In March, Tucker Carlson, co-founder of the Daily Caller News Foundation, forecasted that Vice President JD Vance will emerge as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in 2028. Carlson’s statement, made on the “VINCE” podcast, sheds light on the increasing influence of Vance within the party and the likelihood of him becoming the successor to Donald Trump’s political legacy.

    Despite Donald Trump declining to endorse Vance during a February Fox News interview, where he stated there were “a lot of very capable people” in the Republican Party, Carlson is optimistic that the former president will ultimately support the vice president in 2028. Trump’s comment, which may have seemed like a rejection to some, was interpreted by Carlson as a temporary stance, not a definitive end to any future support.

    “I think people want to leave a legacy, all of us do, and great men especially do. And the only person in the entire Republican Party from my position who’s capable of carrying on the Trump legacy and expanding it, making it what it should fully be, is JD Vance,” Carlson explained. He also praised Vance’s loyalty to Trump and his profound service, indicating that Trump’s current withholding of endorsement may have been a strategic decision.

    Rosie O’Donnell Demands ‘Recount’ Months After Trump’s 2024 Landslide Victory

      Comedian and longtime critic of Donald Trump, Rosie O’Donnell, promoted a demand for a “recount” of the 2024 presidential election, despite President Trump’s historic victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris.

      In a post shared to her Instagram Story, O’Donnell amplified a message from influencer Joe Braxton, who alleged that Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk had somehow “hacked and stole the election.” The post claimed Musk manipulated the results and later covered his tracks by deleting evidence and purging those who could expose the alleged scheme through his DOGE efforts.

      The claim directly contradicts certified results and independent audits showing that Trump won both the popular vote and all key battleground states, securing an overwhelming victory, especially as the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years.

      O’Donnell’s amplification of the recount call has drawn attention not only for its baselessness, but also for its irony.

      For years, the comedian accused Trump and his supporters of denying the 2020 election results. But now, after Trump decisively defeated Kamala Harris in 2024, it’s O’Donnell herself who appears to be indulging in election denial — something she once vehemently opposed.

      Political commentators online were quick to note the reversal. “Rosie O’Donnell is now the election denier,” one user wrote. “She’s become the very thing she once mocked.”

      This isn’t the first time O’Donnell has claimed election interference without evidence. In a widely criticized outburst last month, she claimed that Trump had repeatedly “admitted” the elections were rigged and expressed disbelief that “no one does anything about it.”

      Observers were quick to point out that Trump was referring to the 2020 election — not the one he just won. The confusion further fueled criticism that O’Donnell’s political commentary has become increasingly erratic and detached from facts.

      Since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, O’Donnell has been a loud opponent of his second-term agenda. She recently claimed that the GOP’s signature tax reform and spending bill — dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” by Trump — would lead to mass suffering.

      “Millions of people are going to go hungry. Millions of people are going to die,” O’Donnell said during a recent video tirade, offering no evidence for the dramatic claim.

      Musk, who acquired X (formerly Twitter) and has become a polarizing public figure in politics, has not been linked to any election irregularities. Federal and state election officials have found no credible evidence of statistically significant fraud favoring Trump in the 2024 election.

      Adding to the controversy surrounding her public image, O’Donnell also recently appeared in HBO’s Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That…, where she played a lesbian nun who has a one-night stand with Miranda Hobbes, portrayed by Cynthia Nixon. The storyline was widely condemned by Catholic groups and religious leaders, who labeled it sacrilegious, offensive, and “deliberately provocative.”

      Rubio Cracks Up At Trump’s Reaction To NATO leader Calling President ‘Daddy’

        0

        Secretary of State Marco Rubio couldn’t keep it together when Donald Trump gave his reaction to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte calling the commander in chief “daddy” earlier Wednesday. 

        During their bilateral meeting in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump discussed the U.S.’ role in brokering a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, saying both countries were like “two kids in a school yard” who “fight like hell” for a short time before “it’s easier to stop them.” 

        Rutte interjected, “Then daddy has to sometimes use strong language.” 

        Trump had used profanity in front of reporters outside the White House before boarding Marine One on Tuesday, saying about Israel and Iran that they “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing. ” 

        At a subsequent press conference Wednesday, Rubio broke into hysterics when a reporter from Sky News asked Trump about the remark. 

        The reporter reminded Trump that Rutte, “who is your friend.… He called you daddy.” 

        “Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?” the reporter asked. 

        Trump responded lightheartedly, and Rubio could be seen standing next to him starting to smile and laugh. “No, he likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn’t, I’ll let you know. I’ll come back, and I’ll hit him hard. Okay?” Trump said jokingly. 

        “He did. He did it. Very affectionate,” Trump added of Rutte. “‘Daddy, You’re my daddy.'” 

        Watch:

        NATO leaders on Wednesday committed that the member states would contribute 5% of GDP annually to defense and security obligations by 2035. 

        “You’re obviously appreciative of that,” the reporter said. “But do you hope that actually they’re going to be able to defend themselves, defend Europe on their own?” 

        “I think they’ll need help a little bit at the beginning, and I think they’ll be able to,” Trump said. “I think they’re going to remember this day and this is a big day for NATO. You know, this was a very big day.” 

        “It’s been sort of an amazing day for a lot of reasons, but also for that,” Trump added, referencing how the greater contributions were decades in the making. Trump claimed it was not possible until he came along. 

        GOP Senator Guarantees Trump ‘Is Going To Win The Nobel Peace Prize’

        A Republican Senator says President Trump deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in de-escalating the conflict between Israel and Iran.

        Appearing on Hannity Monday night, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) guaranteed that the Nobel is going to Trump following his announcement of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran.

        “President Trump is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize, no doubt!” Britt said. “You look at what he’s done with the Congo and Rwanda. You look where he is with Pakistan and India and what he has done there. And then you look at this — what everyone talked about but no one thought was possible. He has brought peace to a region that needed stability. He has shown what America first policy actually is.”

        Earlier in the show, Britt’s GOP colleague, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) likewise praised Trump — but also allowed for the possibility that the agreement could collapse.

        “If the ceasefire is genuine and will lead to peace, it is a major league accomplishment,” Graham said. “If the ceasefire is used to rearm and regroup by Iran, we’ve gone backwards.”

        Britt, though, saw no need to hedge.

        “We need a president who is unafraid to act and that stands firmly with the American citizens,” Britt said. “That’s what we saw today. And look, Democrats don’t know what to say. I mean, their silence has never been louder, if you know what I mean. And I think it’s because President Trump just keeps winning! And they don’t what to do.”

        Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, declaring Trump had an “extraordinary and historic role” in having ended “the armed conflict between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.”

        “President Trump’s influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible. President Trump also took bold, decisive actions to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ensure that the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism remains incapable of acquiring a nuclear weapon,” Carter wrote in his letter.

        He said Trump’s leadership through the crisis “exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognize: the pursuit of peace, the prevention of war, and the advancement of international harmony. In a region plagued by historical animosity and political volatility, such a breakthrough demands both courage and clarity.”

        According to the Nobel Prize website, there have been 338 candidates nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize so far.

        Watch:

        Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday night, dubbing the conflict a “12-day war.”

        A senior Israeli official told Fox News on Tuesday that Iran had launched two missiles toward Israel following the announcement of the ceasefire, “and we believe they are trying to fire more in the next couple of hours.”

        “Unfortunately, the Iranians have decided to continue to fire toward Israel,” the official said to Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst after Trump unveiled the deal Monday.

        “Now we will have to retaliate, this will happen of course,” the official added. “It could end within several hours, but they [the Iranians] need to make a decision.” 

        The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that the Israel Defense Forces carried out a small airstrike on Iranian radar equipment before backing down from further attacks. 

        “At 7:06 a.m., Iran launched one missile toward Israeli territory, and at 10:25 a.m., two more missiles. The missiles were intercepted or landed in open areas without causing casualties or damage,” the office said. “In response to Iran’s violations, the Israeli Air Force destroyed a radar array near Tehran. Following President Trump’s conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel refrained from further strikes.” 

        “In the call, President Trump expressed his deep appreciation for Israel — which achieved all the objectives of the war. He also expressed his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire,” the office added. 

        Pakistan To Nominate Trump For Nobel Prize

        0

        A huge honor…

        The government of Pakistan said Friday it would nominate President Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize while lauding his contributions to global peace.

        Last month, the Trump administration intervened in a brief conflict between India and Pakistan after the former struck the latter in what it described as retaliatory strikes, killing dozens. 

        “At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond,” the government of Pakistan wrote in a Friday statement on the social media platform X. 

        After Pakistan announced the nomination, Trump shared a grim outlook on his chances of obtaining recognition from an international award for conflict intervention hours after securing a treaty between Rwanda and the Congo.

        “No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!” Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. 

        Former President Obama is the last sitting president to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for international diplomacy in 2009, eight months into his first term. 

        “President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building,” the government wrote.

        “Pakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran,” they added. 

        In May, missiles from India killed 31 people and injured 57 in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and the country’s Punjab province, according to the Pakistani military. 

        Amid the turmoil, Trump told foreign partners, “If I can do anything to help, I will be there,” while Vice President Vance said the conflict was “none of our business” as threats of war between the two nuclear powers crescendoed.

        Days later, Trump announced that India and Pakistan agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire with the help of U.S. mediation.

        Pakistan’s government said his efforts were a sign of the leader’s commitment to stability and peace.

        Trump Organization Announces New ‘Trump Mobile’ Phone Service

          The Trump Organization has announced its latest business venture…

          The Trump Organization announced Monday it is launching a new mobile phone business: Trump Mobile.

          Donald Trump Jr., the president’s oldest son, announced the new initiative along with his brother Eric Trump, on the 10th anniversary of their father’s first announcing he was running for president, from Trump Tower in New York City.

          Trump Jr. said the business group felt the mobile phone industry was another era in which there had been “lackluster performance” and in which there could be an opportunity to provide tech to an audience that is “underserved.”

          With Trump Mobile, Trump Jr. said “we’re going to be introducing an entire package of products.”

          He said at a press event that it would allow people to “get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance for their cars,” and “unlimited texting for 100 countries around the world.”

          “We think we’re going to be giving something unique to the American people,” he said.

          A release regarding Trump Mobile said it would offer 5G service through all three major cellular carriers. Its flagship offering is also linked to the president: The 47 Plan.

          It gives consumers the offerings of Trump Mobile for $47.45 per month, a price point that remarks on Trump’s time as the nation’s 45th and 47th president.

          “Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we’re building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service,” Trump Jr. said in a press statement. “Our company is based right here in the United States because we know it’s what our customers want and deserve.”

          The announcement also said the Trump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, describing it as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.”ump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, describing it as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.”

          Liberal News Hosts In Hot Water Over Insulting Comments About Trump Wives

          Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross mocked First Lady Melania Trump during a CNN debate on President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown with some thinly-veiled sexual innuendo about “unique talent.”

          By The White House – https://www.flickr.com/photos/202101414@N05/54426560683/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=163105965

          On Tuesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Cross, Shermichael Singleton, Ana Kasparian, Ana Navarro, and Jim Schultz to discuss Trump’s immigration policy, specifically the increase in deportations under his watch.

          Cross let loose on Melania as a “former nude model” who scored an “Einstein visa” of dubious merit, and on White House senior adviser Stephen Miller as a “White nationalist” running the show:

          SCHULTZ: It’s inaction by Congress as to versus to why he starts, you know, thinking about it this way. You know, he has to almost legislate from the executive branch on this because no one’s doing anything about it.

          PHILLIP: He could also — he could also —

          SCHULTZ: Close the border.

          PHILLIP: But, you know, he could also lead — he could also lead and say, hey, Congress — that my party controls and the House and the Senate. Put a bill together. Put something on the table because —

          CROSS: He has a — people loyal — anyone of the people would have —

          UNKNOWN: I don’t think he’d get a bill passed. I don’t think he would get a bill passed.

          CROSS: I don’t think it’s even an effort to do that. But I just want to remind the viewers, his wife herself, a former nude model, got the Einstein visa to come over here, completely usurp the immigration system. What was her unique talent? I wonder that she was able to get that.

          Furthermore, he’s increasing these — these deportations because he’s trying to be competitive with his predecessor, who I’m ashamed to say, Obama, who they called deporter-in-chief because he deported so many people, 430 something thousand, I believe, was the height of the year 2013.

          Watch:

          The White House slammed former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after a cruel joke about President Donald Trump’s late ex-wife Ivana during a politically charged tirade about immigration on a YouTube podcast.

          Appearing on The Contrarian alongside hosts Jennifer Rubin and April Ryan for their “No Kings”-themed broadcast, Acosta took aim at Trump’s deportation raids and jibed that he had a history of marrying immigrants, including Ivana Trump, who died in 2022 and is buried at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

          “How many immigrants has he married?” Acosta asked. “He’s got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?”

          Laughter followed from Rubin and Ryan as Acosta piled on: “Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do!”

          The clip, flagged on X by journalist Jason Cohen, quickly drew outrage from the right and condemnation from the White House.

          Press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Acosta in a comment to Fox News Digital, saying: “Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being.”

          Appeals Panel Affirms Former Trump Lawyer’s Disbarment Over 2020 Election Efforts

            1

            California appellate disciplinary panel upheld the recommendation to disbar constitutional law scholar and former Trump legal adviser John Eastman. The panel’s decision follows an earlier March 2024 ruling by Judge Yvette Roland of the State Bar Court, which found Eastman culpable of misconduct related to his legal strategies in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

            Eastman, a longtime legal academic and former dean of Chapman University Law School, has been a prominent figure in election-related litigation. At the heart of the case was Eastman’s advocacy for then-President Donald Trump, particularly his role in questioning the certification of electoral votes and exploring constitutional mechanisms related to vice-presidential authority during the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.

            The Review Department, which affirmed Roland’s ruling, concluded Eastman committed “multiple acts of moral turpitude” by making what it called “false and misleading statements” in legal filings. It alleged he advanced “frivolous” claims of voter fraud and helped develop a plan to urge Vice President Mike Pence to delay or refuse the certification of electoral results.

            “Eastman’s actions undermined democracy itself,” the panel wrote in a sweeping conclusion.

            Unless overturned by the California Supreme Court, the ruling effectively disbars Eastman — suspending his law license and disqualifying him from practicing in the state.

            Read the court’s opinion via Law & Crime

            Eastman and his legal team have vigorously defended his actions as protected legal advocacy and free speech. During the proceedings, Eastman stated:

            “To accuse me of making false statements runs afoul of my First Amendment right to raise questions.”

            His attorneys argued that Eastman was performing his professional duty — raising constitutional questions and advocating for his client — not misleading courts or the public. However, the appellate panel rejected this argument, claiming he had gone beyond legal theorizing into knowingly advancing false claims.

            Eastman’s legal team has vowed to appeal to the California Supreme Court, which has the authority to accept or reject the disbarment recommendation. If the ruling is upheld, Eastman will be permanently disbarred in California.

            ‘MyPillow Guy’ Mike Lindell Loses Dominion Defamation Case

            Despite suffering a major loss in court on Monday, MyPillow founder and staunch Trump loyalist Mike Lindell is remaining positive.

            A federal jury in Colorado on Monday afternoon found MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell liable for defamation, siding with a former Dominion Voting Systems employee who alleged that the Donald Trump loyalist caused real-world harm with 2020 stolen election conspiracies he aired at his 2021 “cyber symposium,” an event that also proved costly for Lindell in the form of an ill-fated and boomeranging “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge.”

            In the end, the jury found Lindell liable for defaming Dr. Eric Coomer, along with his company FrankSpeech for participating in a civil conspiracy to do the same, leaving the MyPillow CEO on the hook for $2.3 million — a far cry from the $60-plus million Coomer’s team asked for but nonetheless a loss for Lindell, according to Kyle Clark of 9NEWS.

            It wasn’t a total loss for Lindell, however, as MyPillow escaped liability — reportedly as Coomer’s legal team requested.

            In an interview with former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani on LindellTV after the verdict, Lindell offered his reaction, saying: “It was awesome.”

            Photo via Gage Skidmore Flickr

            “I hope Mike doesn’t feel too down. He never does,” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said as he kicked it to Lindell for a statement.

            “It was awesome,” Lindell told Giuliani.

            He also called the judgment a “huge victory for our country,” adding that, “MyPillow was sued for no reason and they won.”

            “All the pillow companies have to be happy because now they can’t be sued for libel.”

            Watch:

            Lindell had long maintained that he has “done nothing wrong,” that he truly believes his claims about the election, and that both he and his allies have instead been persecuted and subjected to “lawfare” for simply asking questions about the integrity of the 2020 election, in violation of their First Amendment rights.

            In a video and post shared Monday on X ahead of the verdict, Lindell remarked upon the gravity of his situation: “Today the jury decides.”

            “I really believe, God willing, that this will be the gateway to securing our elections, bringing back free speech and the American dream, and saving our country,” he said, before asking his supporters for prayers and directing them to the website for his legal defense fund.
