With everyone obsessing over a handful of DSA candidates, the broader trend that might be getting missed across the country is that lots of Dem primary voters seem to have decided it is time for a new generation of younger nominees in lots of places.

They don’t make any sense. They go on and on about how women have to start having more babies because of the declining population, but then they push back on vaccines that can help keep small children alive and healthy. Idiots.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

A couple key point made in this brief: - The new EO sweeps more broadly than the old EO and thus violates binding court orders barring that order from going into effect. - The new EO lacks any of the temporal limits of the old order and would seem to apply even to people who are currently citizens.

This new Order violates the Court’s existing preliminary injunction, as it purports to strip birthright citizenship from members of the provisionally certified class despite the Supreme Court’s recent decision. To avoid any doubt in this regard, the Court should underscore that the government may not strip away class members’ citizenship through any executive orders or other similarly flawed assertions of Executive power over birthright citizenship. Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court now clarify that its preliminary injunction currently forbids any denial or infringement of class members’ constitutionally guaranteed citizenship or, in the alternative, modify its injunction or issue a new preliminary injunction to explicitly so provide. The new Order does not explain its relationship to the original birthright citizenship order. It does not, for example, rescind and replace that order, which appears to remain in effect (that is, enforceable but for the injunctions issued by this and other Courts). Notably, the new Order appears to lack several key limitations present in the original order. For example, the original order specified that it would “apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order.” EO1 § 2(b). The new Order contains no such language. Likewise, the original order expressly stated that it would not impair the citizenship of “children of lawful permanent residents.” EO1 § 2(c). Again, the new Order says nothing like that. Indeed, standing alone the new Order would appear to apply to people who have lived their entire lives as citizens, potentially going back generations; to children of permanent residents; and even to naturalized citizens (for example a naturalized citizen whose parent was employed by an embassy).

BREAKING: The plaintiffs in two of the challenges to Trump's Jan 20, 2025 effort to end birthright citizenship (CASA and Barbara) went back to court today over Trump's new August executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship.

12. Based on these various aspects of the August 2026 Executive Order's text, it may be interpreted to immediately deny citizenship to members of the certified class, without regard to this Court's class-wide injunction. The Court should therefore lift the stay of proceedings and order an immediate status conference to seek clarity from Defendants on the meaning of the August 2026 Executive Order and its potential impact on the certified class. 13. In addition, it is unclear whether the August 2026 Executive Order rescinds the January 2025 Executive Order, or whether the latter would remain operative but for the preliminary injunctions barring its enforcement. 14. On August 7, 2026, Plaintiffs asked Defendants to provide clarity on the issues outlined above related to the scope of the August 2026 Executive Order. Plaintiffs advised Defendants that if they could not provide clarity, Plaintiffs would move the Court to lift the stay and to set a status conference to discuss these issues, and Plaintiffs asked Defendants' counsel for their position on such a motion. On August 10, 2026, counsel for Defendants replied and said that they could "confirm that the new EO operates only prospectively and is not effective until guidance is issued," and that they "therefore think it is premature to approach the court at this time." Counsel did not provide any statement directly from Defendants to substantiate this assurance, nor did Counsel respond to the other questions Plaintiffs posed.

all the shitposting in the world won't change the fact that Trump lost his war of choice in Iran resoundingly and drastically diminished the US military in the process

Iran is now publicly talking about what I’ve been saying since this war started: They’re trying to Jimmy Carter him, and he’s letting it happen while telling everyone he’s winning.
