tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
"DOE accepts that the inclusion of grants in the October notice tranche was based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient's state, i.e., whether the recipient's location and/or place of performance was in a Blue State or a non-Blue State."

Meanwhile, over on the House floor, Republicans can't move forward on their absurdly bloated military spending bill (the NDAA) because the anti-voting Trump lackeys want to attach a dead bill (the SAVE America Act) to it to placate the delusional dictator.
You absolutely do not gotta hand it to a panel of corrupt judges for *barely* upholding a clearly written part of the constitution.
These Supreme Court rulings have been brought to you by Fox News, right-wing donors, and white supremacy.
With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
