CONCORD, N.H. — A federal judge in New Hampshire issued a ruling Thursday prohibiting President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship from taking effect anywhere in the U.S. Judge Joseph LaPlante issued a preliminary injunction blocking Trump’s order and certified a class action lawsuit including all children who will be affected. The order, which followed an hour-long hearing, included a seven-day stay to allow for appeal. The judge’s decision puts the birthright citizenship issue on a fast track to return to the Supreme Court. The justices could be asked to rule whether the order complies with their decision last month that limited judges’ authority

David Gergen, who worked for four presidents, including Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, before becoming an academic and political TV pundit, has died. He was 83.
Gergen died in a retirement home in Massachusetts on July 10, his son said, according to several outlets.
The Washington, D.C., veteran had been suffering from Lewy body dementia, his son said. Those who knew and admired Gergen took to X to express their condolences.
Former California first lady Maria Shriver wrote on X: "David Gergen was total professional and a really kind man. My thoughts are with his family. He loved
India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation bureau has released a preliminary report on the Air India flight that crashed in June, showing the fuel to the engines was cut off.
The London-bound plane had barely left the runway at Ahmedabad airport before it careened back to earth. Everyone on board was killed, except for one passenger.
According to the report obtained by CNN, the fuel control switches in the cockpit of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner had been flipped, shutting down the engines.
Investigators were able to get data out of the black boxes, including 49 hours of flight data and two hours of cockpit audio, including the crash.
Democrats are going off the rails, embracing extremism.
But because it's Democrats, you know they can always get worse.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is very left-wing. But I guess he and some other New York City House Democrats are not left enough for some of Zohran Mamdani's far-left allies.
Fast-forward to today, and DSA leaders are apparently mulling running primary challengers against Jeffries as well as other House Democrats whose districts are in New York City, including Reps. Ritchie Torres, Jerry Nadler, Dan Goldman and Yvette Clarke.
Jeffries, who two years ago succeeded longtime House Democratic leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi,

Raid, Disrupting Rescue of Illegal Immigrant Minors 11 replies
Violent rioters clashed with federal immigration officers on Thursday after U.S. Customs and Border Protection raided two Southern California cannabis farms, one of which is now under investigation for child labor violations.
Ten illegal immigrant minors, eight of whom were unaccompanied, were rescued from the Camarillo Glass House farm. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott confirmed that feds have put the farm under investigation for child labor violations.
“This is Newsom’s California,” he said.
A man who was raised in the belly of the beast and knows the brainwashed violence of fanatical Islam from the inside has another warning for Europeans and Americans foolishly welcoming in hordes of Muslim migrants: the Muslims will absolutely destroy Europe, given the smallest opening.
Mosab Hassan Yousef knows from personal experience both that not every young Muslim is irreclaimable, but that many of them are. After all, while he defected to Israel and converted to Christianity, even though his father was a co-founder of the terrorist group Hamas, he has also warned repeatedly that the majority of the so-called Palestinians in Gaza will never give up

It doesn't seem like there are sane Democrats left at this point.
With so many of them embracing extremism from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to the demonizing of ICE, they are off the rails, bat guano nuts at this point.
That's also given license to the bad actors — the anti-ICE people who have been targeting agents in despicable attacks, such as the shootings in Texas at a detention center and a Border Patrol facility. Fetterman called the demonizing of ICE agents "absolutely unacceptable, terrible, awful." He said, "ICE agents are just doing their job, and, um, I fully support that."
Trump Administration Launches Investigation

The Trump administration is investigating the state of Minnesota for potentially discriminating based on race and sex in its hiring practices.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is looking into whether Minnesota, including the state’s Department of Human Services, is violating federal civil rights law by hiring based on race, sex, and other protected characteristics.
“Our investigation is based on information that Minnesota may be engaged in certain employment practices that discriminate against employees, job applicants, and training program participants based on race and sex in violation of Title VII,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon wrote in a notice
US President Donald Trump said he is planning on making a 'major statement' on Russia on Monday. This comes on the back of US preparing to send new American weapons to Ukrain via purchases from NATO allies. "I think I'll have a major statement to make on Russia on Monday," Trump told NBC News in a telephone interview, news agency Bloomberg reported.
In the interview, he also reiterated his criticism of Russia President Vladimir Putin and the country's continued attacks on Ukraine. He said he expects the senate to pass a tougher sanctions bill on Russia, sponsored by a close ally, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
President Donald Trump plans to use the authority granted to him under a foreign assistance law to send more defensive weapons to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia, Reuters reported, citing two sources familiar with the decision.
The Context
The report came after Trump sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week and said the U.S. would send more military aid to Ukraine.
"We have to," Trump told reporters. "They have to be able to defend themselves."
What To Know
One source told the outlet that the military aid Trump plans to send to Ukraine could be worth as much as $300 million.
The president clarified
Two federal agencies are preventing illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded programs with the goal of ensuring U.S. taxpayer dollars only serve American citizens.
The Departments of Health and Human Services and Education both announced plans to limit taxpayer subsidization of illegal aliens in compliance with federal law. The moves are part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to disincentivize illegal immigration and prevent taxpayer dollars from supporting it.
HHS is barring illegal immigrants from receiving public benefits by rescinding a Clinton-era interpretation of the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). The Clinton administration’s 1998 policy allowed illegal aliens to access congressionally mandated programs. Now, the Trump administration is reinterpreting
The U.S. government moved this week to shore up national security vulnerabilities stemming from China-linked land purchases in America, launching the initiative in a high-profile press conference with senior Trump administration officials and governors from several states.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins described American farming as “under threat from criminals, from political adversaries, and from hostile regimes that understand our way of life as a profound and existential threat to themselves,” during the Tuesday press conference.
Other Trump cabinet officials at the event included Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Political geeks often obsess about poll numbers, but outside election years, we tend only to have access to national numbers.
National approval ratings are not irrelevant, of course, but they don't actually tell you what political geeks need to know to gauge potential election outcomes. Political players in Washington, though, care much more about what their specific constituents think, not what the vast number of voters in coastal cities do.
We all know that Trump's approval numbers in New York City, Washington, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago will be in the toilet. The big question is how he is doing in swing states and districts,

A new book on the end of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and the birth of Kamala Harris’ sheds light on the process behind the vice president choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, a decision widely panned by pundits in retrospect.
“2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” released Tuesday by journalists Josh Dawsey of the Wall Street Journal, Tyler Pager of the New York Times and Isaac Arnsdor of the Washington Post, described a vetting process that came down to three finalists: Walz, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.

A pediatrician who is no longer working for a chain of clinics affiliated with a prominent Houston hospital system after a social media post that wished voters in a Donald Trump-supporting county of central Texas “get what they voted for” amid flash flooding that killed nearly 120 – including many children – has publicly apologized. “I speak to you as a mother, a neighbor, a pediatrician, and a human being who is deeply sorry,” Dr Christina Propst wrote after Blue Fish Pediatrics announced on Sunday she was no longer an employee there because of a social media post that the
Late on Tuesday, we had another missive from the mists of the Supreme Court’s shadow docket—an unsigned opinion that confirmed for the moment the president’s right to clear-cut the entire administrative structure of the executive branch’s agencies and departments. From The Guardian. Extending a winning streak for the US president, the justices on Tuesday lifted a lower court order that had frozen sweeping federal layoffs known as “reductions in force” while litigation in the case proceeds. The decision could result in hundreds of thousands of job losses at the departments of agriculture, commerce, health and human services, state, treasury, veterans
On Tuesday, President Trump took umbrage at a question about the Justice Department’s assertion that there are no Epstein tapes, there is no client list, and there is nothing more to be released. The Twitterverse has been brutal towards AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and his #2, Dan Bongino. Many people were saying they felt betrayed, given the fact that, before the election, we were told that the files would be released and the criminals held to account.
Top House Democratic leaders condemned GOP Rep. Randy Fine and demanded that he apologize after the Florida lawmaker suggested in a post on X that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is a terrorist.
Fine was replying to an X post from Omar on Tuesday, in which she said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “should be held accountable for his crimes,” and, “war criminals should not be welcomed by any president or Congress,” after Netanyahu met with House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Former CIA Director John Brennan claims he’s “clueless” as to why the FBI would open a criminal probe against him and says he’s had “no contact” with federal authorities related to an investigation.
“Quite frankly, I don’t know what is true, you know,” Brennan told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace Wednesday in his first public remarks since reports emerged that he’s under investigation for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.
“If it was a referral, if there is an investigation, presumably if there is an investigation, people will be questioned,” the former spy chief said.
Florida cannot enforce a new law that would bar illegal immigrants from entering the Sunshine State, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.
“The application for stay presented to Justice Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied,” read the order rejecting Florida’s emergency appeal to the high court.
No justices dissented, and the court did not provide a written opinion explaining the order. US District Judge Kathleen Williams, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, blocked Florida from enforcing the new law in April.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said during her book tour last weekend that she views Supreme Court opinions as a way to voice her personal convictions.
“I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do,” Jackson said.
She made the comments during a discussion of her new memoir, “Lovely One,” in front of 4,000 attendees at the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans.
Jackson’s conception of her role appears to differ from that of most Supreme Court justices.
Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has admitted that President Donald J. Trump was correct on border and immigration issues, stating, “Trump was right,” during an interview. He criticized Democrats for failing to address border security adequately, admitting the U.S.-Mexico border was “under siege” during Joe Biden’s presidency.
Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, remarked, “The first thing any President should say—or anybody in public life—is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation.” He added, “I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I’m going to enforce the law.”
ISRAEL says some of Iran's highly-enriched near weapons-grade uranium stockpile survived US bombings during the 12-Day War last month. Doubts remained about whether Iran quietly removed 408.6 kgs of uranium from its most sensitive sites before the strikes - potentially hiding nuclear material elsewhere in the country. The uranium in question is enriched to 60 per cent - way above levels for civilian usage but slightly below weapons-grade.
That material, if further refined to 90 per cent, would theoretically be sufficient to produce more than nine nuclear bombs.An Israeli official told The New York Times some of the uranium stockpile survived the US and Israeli bombings last month

A human resources director for the State of Minnesota is now on leave after sending a profanity-laced email from his official work account to an Alpha News reporter following an inquiry about racist posts on his social media page. It started after Alpha News received an email about LaVon “Vonnie” Phillips. A search of the state directory website shows Phillips listed as a “Human Resources Director 1” for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). State records also indicate that Phillips earns six-figures and is paid $55.45 per hour. The tipster raised concerns about Phillips and claimed his social media page is “littered with racist comments about ‘white folk.’”
