- What Will Happen to Birthright Citizenship?
Subscribe here: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Overcast | Pocket CastsWho gets to be an American? It’s a simple question—one that was answered when Congress passed, and the states ratified, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1868. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the amendment’s first sentence states. Thirty years later, in 1898, the Supreme Court cemented this principle in United States v. Wong Kim Ark.But last January, on President Trump’s first day in office, he signed an executive order that would challenge the Court’s precedent—and, it has been argued, the purpose of the amendment. “The Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States,” the president’s order says. It would deny citizenship to babies born to parents who lack legal justification for being in the country—or born to those who are here only temporarily. The order was challenged in court within 24 hours.Now the Supreme Court will decide whether the Constitution means what it says; it will decide whether “all persons born or naturalized in the United States”—save for those who are here under unique circumstances, such as children of foreign dignitaries—are citizens of the union. This week on Radio Atlantic, I’m joined by Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer to explore birthright citizenship and what it means to be an American.The following is a transcript of the episode:Adam Serwer: So you think about today’s discourse about birthright citizenship and these, you know, sometimes veiled, sometimes overt assertions that America is a white man’s country. You know, the people who wrote the Fourteenth Amendment did not believe that. They insisted that that was wrong, and they inscribed the equality of man into the Constitution in a much more sincere way than the original Founders.Adam Harris: I’m Adam Harris. This is Radio Atlantic. And this is our first Monday episode of the show.Today, we need to talk about birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court has before it a case that could redefine who gets to be an American. That’s not hyperbole.Justice Neil Gorsuch: So you’re really at the end of the day, then this is a straight up constitutional ruling you want from this Court, win, lose, or draw.Harris: The citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - UPS to invest $48 million in temperature-controlled facilities amid healthcare b...

Important changes are coming to the Emergency Alert System, changes that will affect your station. For one thing, the FCC is exasperated by cyberattacks on EAS equipment that “continue to occur with disturbing frequency.” So it is getting ready to issue several new requirements this week. At its meeting this Thursday, the commission is expected to mandate that radio stations, TV stations and other Emergency Alert System participants install network firewalls on EAS equipment as well as other potential weak links like STLs that carry EAS content. If this order is approved (as I fully expect), stations also will be required to change default passwords on their EAS systems, and to test and install security patches and upgrades from equipment manufacturers promptly. Maybe you already follow all of these practices. But it’s clear that many stations do not. In its draft, the FCC writes that for years it has been urging EAS participants to implement basic cybersecurity hygiene but that some have still not done so. “Despite our repeated efforts urging EAS participants to take basic steps to secure their networks … successful attacks have continued into 2026.” It notes that bad actors have gained control of radio station systems “by exploiting improperly secured, remotely accessible equipment in the broadcast signal processing system to transmit unauthorized audio that included EAS alert tones, an offensive song that included racial slurs and promotional content.” The expected order will require that “default passwords for EAS equipment, studio transmitter link equipment and any remotely managed equipment that routes, processes or inserts content into the EAS participant’s programming stream be changed prior to any use to broadcast to the public.” Passwords would have to have a minimum of 15 characters, not use dictionary words and not be reused elsewhere (though the plan would also allow stations to use certain alternative authentication measures as highlighted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology). The order will require stations to implement firmware and software patching promptly, to reduce the risk that someone can exploit vulnerabilities to infiltrate broadcast and cable systems to insert false EAS tones or alerts. And it will require stations and other EAS participants “to use a network firewall or comparable network segmentation practices to limit remote management access to authorized devices and authorized users, which will secure EAS and other vulnerable equipment on a private network inaccessible to the public internet.” It said that… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - Eggo® Unveils New Eggo Zero Waffles, Bringing the Nostalgic Eggo Experience wit...All the flavor, zero compromise – a feel-good breakfast that will have fans saying "L'Eggo My Eggo" all over again.
