Vice President JD Vance claimed birthright citizenship is “hanging by a thread” and could still be reversed despite the Supreme Court ruling against President Donald Trump earlier in the day. Vance joined Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle and told viewers there is an opportunity to “reverse” the Supreme Court’s decision, which struck down an executive order from the president. In the 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, which guarantees citizenship for anyone “born or naturalized” in the United States. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a dissent arguing that Trump’s executive order violated a federal law, but not the Constitution. “In my view, the Executive Order does not violate the Fourteenth Amendment. But the Order does contravene a federal statute, 8 U. S. C. §1401(a). Congress could—consistent with the Fourteenth Amendment—amend §1401(a) or otherwise enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to foreign citizens unlawfully or temporarily in the country. But Congress has not yet done so,” he wrote. Trump also urged Congress to act on the matter. “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support!” he wrote on Truth Social. Vance argued that the closeness of the “preposterous” and “disappointing” decision from the Supreme Court shows the law is “hanging by a thread.” He said: One of the things we’re going to have to do is just continue to enforce the border, Laura. This was a very disappointing ruling. Of course, we respect it but we also think it was a major, major mistake as Justices [Samuel] Alito and [Clarence] Thomas pointed out. One of the things it might invite, Laura, is, quite literally, people come here on a vacation, give birth, and then the child and family have the full benefits of American citizenship. It suggests why the Supreme Court should have went the other way. I know a lot of conservatives, Laura, certainly the people that I’m talking to, are extremely disappointed. I do think there is a big silver lining here and that’s the simple fact… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Discloses $1.4 Billion From His Cryptocurrency Businesses
AP Photo/Alex Brandon President Donald Trump brought in more than $1 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses last year, a new federal filing revealed this week. The annual disclosure, filed on Monday, with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, showed that the president received $500 million from the crypto venture he and his sons — Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump — founded, World Liberty Financial. He also reported $635 million from $TRUMP meme coin sales, which were listed as “Celebration Coins” — sales from CIC Digital LLC, reported Reuters and others. That meme coin has taken a massive dive since being introduced, losing more than 90% of its value. Another $80 million was pulled in from various licensing and settlements stemming from lawsuits with media outlets. Millions were brought in from various products slapped with Trump’s face or name. Trump watches took in nearly $5 million alone. The president also reported nearly $300 million in income related to his Florida Mar-a-Lago property, as well as income from his golf properties in Bedminster, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. The money brought in by Trump’s family and businesses while he is in the White House has been the center of lots of speculation and ethics debates. Trump’s disclosure documents total more than 900 pages, while Vice President JD Vance’s annual disclosure sits at just 17 pages. He reported sales of his new book, earnings from the firm Narya Capital and the Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, as well as bitcoins valued between valued up to $500,000. The disclosure documents from the president also include financial information about First Lady Melania Trump, with $10.7 million in net proceeds from a license agreement related to the Amazon documentary Melania, released earlier this year. She also reported more than $6 million in earnings from another licensing agreement “for the sale of NFTs and other collectibles.”The post Trump Discloses $1.4 Billion From His Cryptocurrency Businesses first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via MeidasTouch Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) bragged about his lobster tail July 4 feast awaiting him and suggested struggling Americans who can’t afford such perks might just not be working as hard as him. MeidasTouch’s Pablo Manríquez caught up with Nehls on Tuesday and asked about Congress going on break and the current “affordability” crisis Americans are facing with increased costs on gas and more. “Congressman, real quick, how do House Republicans make the case that you’re fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?” Manríquez asked Nehls on Capitol Hill. “Affordability? What are you talking about?” Nehls asked. Earlier this month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics published its CPI (Consumer Price Index) report, showing a surge in annual inflation to 4.2% and overall prices increasing by 0.5% for the month. Gas prices have seen a dip amid talks of a long-term peace deal with Iran, but the current average sits at $3.80 and the average was below $3 before the Iran conflict kicked off in February.

We’re gonna be celebrating the greatest president my lifetime, Donald J. Trump, maybe watch some fireworks, won’t be up here. It’s gonna be too hot, right? And I’m in bed at 11 o’clock. I heard the fireworks ain’t going off till 11 o’clock eastern on the 4th of July. I probably have to sleep through that one. But, listen, everybody understands, you’re gonna see a little increase in energy prices because of Iran. I mean, come on, people aren’t stupid. You realize that when you have a conflict with Iran.

AP Photo/Andrew Medichini NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg wrote an apology to Justice Samuel Alito after she published a report about his alleged retirement, which has since been retracted. On Tuesday, NPR briefly sent shockwaves through Washington, D.C., when it ran a story about Alito retiring. The piece was up for only a few minutes before being replaced with an editor’s note stating that the article was “published in error.” “Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the Supreme Court’s opinion reversing Roe v. Wade, is retiring, the court announced Tuesday,” the article began. Despite the retraction, some speculated that the story is true but under embargo and that Totenberg jumped the gun. After the mishap, NPR claimed Totenberg had misheard an announcement at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. “NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg misheard an announcement about retirements as she was leaving the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday,” the outlet said. “As a result, an NPR headline erroneously claimed that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring.” CNN’s Brian Stelter obtained the text of an apology from Totenberg to Alito. It read: Dear Justice Alito, there are no words to adequately apologize for today’s error in reporting your retirement. It was entirely my fault. I rushed out of the courtroom after the opinion announcements, and when I realized that the usual rush of folks after a few minutes had not happened, I asked somebody was going on inside, to which the answer was, ‘retirement announcements.’ I didn’t hear the ‘s’ on ‘announcements,’ and I assumed something no reporter should ever do, that you were retiring. It was the worst professional mistake of my more than 50 years in journalism. I could go on, but I don’t know what else to say, except that I am so, so sorry. Totenberg, 82, has been with NPR since 1975. Alito, 76, has served on the court since 2006. There has been speculation that Alito and Clarence Thomas, 78, might retire before this year’s midterms to allow President Donald Trump to appoint replacements for the two conservative justices while Republicans control the Senate.The post ‘I Am So, So Sorry’: NPR Reporter Apologizes to Samuel Alito Over Retracted Retirement Story first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File The Supreme Court’s ruling in the birthright citizenship case sparked a lot of strong reactions, but a social media post by the co-founder of a conservative website raised a lot of eyebrows Tuesday evening. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on the first day of his second term that purported to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants or those who were in the country temporarily. In Tuesday’s opinion in Trump v. Barbara, the Supreme Court held that the executive order violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s language, which did grant citizenship to those born in the United States “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” As with most Supreme Court activity in modern times, the decision drew a wide variety of responses, with Democrats and immigrant advocates mostly cheering the decision, MAGA Republicans mostly panning it — but several commentators on the right did praise the decision too. There were some spirited discussions over how to interpret the various concurrences and dissents that addressed various issues, including different analyses applied to children of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. and those born to people who are temporarily visiting, as well as Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s dissent arguing that Trump’s executive order did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment but did violate the federal statute that codified that constitutional amendment. Trump reacted by calling the ruling “too bad for our Country” and urging Congress to “start TODAY” to pass legislation to end birthright citizenship. This is far from a simple matter; besides the struggles GOP leadership has had wrangling their narrow majorities in the House and Senate to pass anything at all, revoking birthright citizenship even for children of illegal immigrants does not poll well enough to reassure nervous members of Congress running for re-election, especially in swing districts. An April 2025 Pew Research poll found that 50% of Americans agreed that children of illegal immigrants should get birthright citizenship and 49% said they should not, with a margin of error of +/- 1.8 percentage points. For Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 74% supported birthright citizenship. That number dropped to 25% for Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. And for Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, lobbying Congress to pass legislation is an insufficient response to the Supreme Court’s ruling. In a long social media post, Davis accused Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett of having made the “choice”… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Dan Abrams Calls Out Liberals Who Have Attacked Supreme Court as Illegitimate: T...
Screenshot Mediaite founder Dan Abrams called out liberals who have attacked the Supreme Court as illegitimate after it dealt multiple blows to President Donald Trump‘s administration in recent days. In a 6-3 vote on Tuesday, the Supreme Court essentially voted to uphold the 14th Amendment, rejecting Trump’s attempt to declare that children born to people in the U.S. temporarily or illegally are not citizens. The decision comes after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Monday to uphold a Mississippi law that allows officials to count mail-in ballots received up to five days after Election Day if they are postmarked by Election Day. Republican-appointed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the majority vote, among the three Democratic-appointed justices. On Tuesday’s edition of The Dan Abrams Show on SiriusXM, Abrams — the founder of Mediaite — questioned whether “liberals who have been whining about how illegitimate the Supreme Court is” will now apologize, given the Supreme Court’s continued penchant for handing down decisions which are unfavorable to the Trump administration. “Are we finally going to be able to admit that the court is a very conservative court, but it still has nuance, it still reviews these things case by case, they’re not just going to defend Donald Trump at all costs?” Abrams asked. While he emphasized that people have the right to disagree with Supreme Court rulings, he slammed those who have undermined “the integrity of the court” and questioned its legitimacy. “That’s the problem, that’s what we’ve seen liberals doing again and again and again,” he said. “And once again, the Supreme Court has shown that it’s not in the tank! It’s a very conservative court. I disagree with some of the rulings, I agree with others. In fact, I agree with a lot of the rulings they’ve issued in the last couple of days. That’s not the question. The question is not, do you agree with every ruling? The question is…questioning the legitimacy of the court.” Abrams equally criticized those on the far right who have been “whining” about the Supreme Court, such as those bemoaning Amy Coney Barrett’s vote to uphold the Mississippi Law. “Oh stop it, this is what justices are supposed to do!” he said. “This nonsense about, ‘Well you know the liberals all stick together’ — the liberals are all sticking together because there is no question that what the President has been trying to do is radical.
