Weiser: I am a first-generation American. My mom was born in a Nazi concentration camp on April 13th, 1945. My grandmother is an amazing woman. She was a hopeful person, and she believed in the United States of America as a country that did treat everybody fairly, that gave everybody freedom and an opportunity to succeed.

And my family—the difference between my mom being born in that concentration camp and me—is that I went to law school, I worked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, I worked as an advisor to President Barack Obama in the White House. I’m Colorado’s Attorney General. I will be Colorado’s next governor. That’s one generation. That’s what America’s about.

It doesn’t matter who your parents are. It doesn’t matter if you know secret handshakes. It matters: are you willing to work hard? Are you willing to believe in the values of this country?

That’s the America I know and love. That’s the America I’m fighting for

If Trump could rewrite the 14th Amendment by executive order, then every constitutional guarantee is vulnerable

That’s why this case mattered and why our brave client stood up

Today, the rule of law won @weeknightmsnow 👇 -TN

LOSS in court for Pete Hegseth

Judge rules in favor of New York Times and halts Hegseth's onerous new press policy which requires escorts for media for spaces inside Pentagon

Rep. @GregCasar: I wish I could stand before you today and say this ruling was only good news, but it is not. While we won the case today, we also got a grave warning about the future. What should have been a simple, unanimous, open and shut decision was dangerously close. Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh failed to recognize the fundamental Constitutional right to birthright citizenship. If these far right justices are ruling against our rights, even when they're black and white in the Constitution, then nothing we hold dear is safe.

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson (D-NC):

“The Constitution is clear. The 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to any person born on U.S. soil. The Supreme Court has upheld that principle for over a century, so when an executive order tried to end it and deny children born in this country their constitutional rights, I challenged it."

All of those born here are American citizens -- that's the American idea & the majority opinion traces its full arc

@DDFund_ is proud to have been co-counsel — one of our most meaningful wins yet @MSNOW_Reports👇-TN

Aren’t we lucky to live on this planet ?

Hunter Biden says his mom postponed their family trip by one day to buy a Christmas tree. The next day, they were in the crash that killed her and his baby sister

“He wins, and he goes to DC for the day to interview potential staffers. And my mom was supposed to go down because they just bought a house, with us”

“And she decided to delay it a day because she wanted to buy a Christmas tree. It was December 18th, because we were celebrating Christmas in Delaware”

“She was pulling out from an intersection, a stop sign, there’s a big hill and a tractor-trailer slammed into the side. It was me, my brother, and our dog… and my sister and my mother”

“Bo and I barely survived. We were trapped in the car. But my sister and my mom were killed pretty instantly”

“I was almost three. Bo was almost four”

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Trump says bringing down the cost of housing is so unimportant compared to his other priorities.

He keeps reminding us how little he cares about reducing prices.

It’s time we believed him.

[David Corn @DavidCornDC]

Giving Trump access to a secret list of Russians being targeted for recruitment or tracked by US intelligence would be a colossal mistake and threat to US security interests.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Such polling data would be meaningful if Russia were a democracy. Tragically, Putin doesn’t care about the preferences of his citizens.

Kamlager-Dove on Rubio Iran Briefing: I have to say, the highlight—or lowlight—for me was when Secretary Rubio was asked about the difference between this MOU and the JCPOA. And Marco Rubio essentially said the JCPOA, Obama’s nuclear deal, was a real agreement with criteria, benchmarks, and thresholds.

And this MOU is just a signed piece of paper saying we’re going to continue to talk about talking. So you should ask yourself, a hundred-and-something billion dollars later, what are these people doing with our money and our national security?

Michelle Obama on the portrait with Obama.

Q: You are in the foreground. You are not in the background.

Michelle: That's because I married a man who isn't threatened by having a smart challenging partner. And that's another way to be a man. To lead and co-lead at the same time. That's a testament to the way my husband was raised and how he sees the world.

"I don't know if they were guilty or not"

Pretttttttty sure they weren't

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

With Oman and Iran joining forces in proposing a toll booth on the Strait of Hormuz, this may be difficult to avoid as a Trump legacy.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

The desire to please trump seems more important to conservative justices than the actual text of textualism

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

Birthright citizenship remains constitutionally protected by the 14th Amendment.

But today we learned that U.S. constitutional guarantees — even the "right to have rights" — can be one vote away from being nullified via executive order, if enough justices agree with a fringe legal theory.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

It's easy to laugh at the failed fairs, empty crowds, and vanity projects. It's much harder to ignore what's happening behind the scenes.

Trump's latest failures may be laughable. The damage to our institutions isn't.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

One thing that's interesting about Justice Roberts's birthright citizenship opinion is how his careful explanation of history shows how the immigration debate rarely changes. The argument that "these people are too different to join us" has just failed, socially, culturally, economically, and morally, time and time again.

Mayor @ZohranKMamdani: In January, our city was reckoning with a $12 billion deficit, a fiscal crisis larger than any since the Great Recession. For too long, New York City had relied on budgeting tricks instead of budgeting honestly. After long nights and painstaking work, we presented an executive budget that brought that $12 billion gap down to zero.
