I walked the Trump rally line to listen, not make assumptions. I talked with voters, asked questions and heard what matters to them.

When I'm elected, I'll represent all 82 counties and every Mississippian, no matter who they voted for. That's what being your senator means. #MississippiMatters

I wrote about the SCOTUS decision in Trump v Barbara—just 5-4 on what the majority rightly called “the promise” of birthright citizenship in the Constitution. Trump, alarmingly, is not alone in trying to break that promise—and he never has been. @newyorker https://t.co/j90HFj13xx

Pope Leo's Easter message:

"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

Post-Birthright Citizenship oral arguments, a prospect Kavanaugh raised—Trump’s E.O. is thrown out, but on statutory, not constitutional grounds—deserves more attention.
Not the likeliest outcome, maybe, but one that would unsettle what had been seen as a settled right.

Trump, as a party to the case, is at SCOTUS—but what about Sarah and Matthew, the American babies who are among the respondents?

MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls.

Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her.

So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —>
