United StatesBorn in the U.S.A.: Protecting the right of birthright citizenship
The article discusses the legal concept of birthright citizenship in the United States, as outlined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. It states that anyone born in the U.S., except for children of diplomats or invading forces, is automatically a citizen. Professor Amanda Frost explains that the wording of the amendment leaves little room for interpretation. However, public opinion remains split, with roughly half of Americans supporting granting citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and the other half opposing it. In January 2025, former President Donald Trump issued an executive order attempting to reinterpret the 14th Amendment to exclude most children of undocumented immigrants from automatic citizenship, but this was blocked by a lower court and is currently under review by the Supreme Court. The article references historical cases such as Dred Scott v. Sandford, where the Supreme Court ruled that Black individuals could not be citizens, leading to the creation of the 14th Amendment. Another landmark case, Wong Kim Ark v. United States, affirmed birthright citizenship for those born in the U.S., including children of immigrants.
Israel and Lebanon sign framework agreement
Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement on Friday in Washington, mediated by the Trump administration, marking a diplomatic breakthrough. The agreement aims to end Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon and restore Lebanon's territorial integrity, though implementation remains uncertain due to Hezbollah's continued influence. The framework includes immediate steps like pilot projects where Israeli forces will withdraw from specific areas and Lebanese troops will deploy, with U.S. involvement to ensure these zones are free of Hezbollah. A senior Israeli official emphasized maintaining security until Hezbollah is disarmed, while a Hezbollah-affiliated leader criticized the agreement, warning of potential civil conflict. The agreement comes amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israel conducting targeted strikes against perceived threats. U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, praised the agreement as a step toward peace, promising $100 million in aid for Lebanon.
Team Trump squares up to rip Red and Blue critics of Iran peace deal
The Trump administration faces criticism from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress over a recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran aimed at ending hostilities and advancing broader negotiations. Critics argue the deal represents a significant concession to Iran, including provisions for the release of frozen Iranian assets and funding for Iran's reconstruction, which they compare unfavorably to the 2015 nuclear deal under former President Barack Obama. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) called the MOU 'the worst foreign policy blunder in decades,' while Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accused the administration of betraying Israel. Democratic senators such as Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey have also criticized the deal, with Warren comparing it to the Obama-era agreement and Markey demanding congressional rejection. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has been vocal in opposing the deal, describing it as 'the art of surrender.' The 2015 law requiring congressional review of agreements involving Iran's nuclear program may provide a legislative avenue for challenging the MOU.
Trump Claimed to Run Venezuela. After Earthquakes, He’s Walking That Back.
Following the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, U.S. President Donald Trump initially asserted that the U.S. would 'run' Venezuela, declaring 'we're in charge.' However, after two major earthquakes struck Venezuela, causing significant casualties and destruction, Trump shifted to offering limited humanitarian assistance rather than asserting direct control. A U.S. government official suggested that Trump's response does not reflect the extent of U.S. influence over Venezuela, which they describe as a 'vassal state.' Meanwhile, Venezuelan American organizations and progressive foreign policy groups plan to request substantial, unconditional humanitarian aid from the Trump administration, citing U.S. responsibility for the crisis caused by sanctions and military actions. These groups argue that U.S. aid must match the scale of the harm inflicted. Trump has previously claimed that the U.S. has profited significantly from Venezuela's oil resources, recovering war costs 28 times over, but critics highlight economic analyses indicating that U.S. policies have exacerbated Venezuela's struggles.
Three things to watch amid Anthropic’s latest feud with the government
Anthropic, an AI company based in the United States, developed an advanced AI model called Mythos, which demonstrated exceptional capabilities in handling code. Concerned about potential cybersecurity risks, Anthropic shared limited access with cybersecurity experts before releasing a modified version called Fable to the public. However, the U.S. government quickly intervened, citing national security concerns and imposing export restrictions on Fable. Anthropic subsequently revoked access to both models. This incident has sparked discussions about the broader implications of AI regulation, with some arguing that the government's response was overly reactive rather than well-planned. Additionally, the event has raised questions about the reliability of American AI companies, prompting European leaders to consider accelerating their own AI development efforts. Meanwhile, open-source AI models from China have gained attention due to their affordability and accessibility, potentially influencing global AI strategies.
FTC gives Musk the OK to acquire SpaceX alumni startup Mesh
Elon Musk has received approval from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to acquire Mesh Optical Technologies, a startup founded by three former SpaceX engineers. Mesh develops optical communication hardware for high-speed data center operations. The FTC expedited its antitrust review of the deal, as noted in a filing and first reported by Bloomberg. Mesh emerged from stealth mode earlier this year after raising $50 million in a Series A funding round led by Thrive Capital. The startup's founders previously worked on optical links connecting SpaceX's Starlink satellites. Their goal now is to apply similar technology to terrestrial data centers, where light-based systems offer greater speed and energy efficiency compared to traditional electrical systems. SpaceX has recently signed agreements with companies like Anthropic, Google, and Reflection AI to provide computing resources at its data centers, creating a new revenue stream. Acquiring Mesh could enhance the efficiency of these data centers, both on Earth and potentially in space.
'The View' co-host Joy Behar says Americans 'should all be' embarrassed by U.S.
On an episode of ABC's 'The View,' co-host Joy Behar expressed that Americans should feel embarrassed about the state of the country, aligning with comedian Larry David's criticism of the White House hosting a UFC event on the South Lawn. Behar cited concerns over immigration policies, particularly the separation of children from families under the Trump administration, and invoked her Italian-American heritage to highlight the contrast between historical immigrant experiences and current treatment of immigrants. Co-hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin acknowledged the controversial nature of criticizing the government, referencing countries where such expressions could lead to severe consequences. While Hostin expressed embarrassment with the administration rather than the nation itself, other co-hosts like Alyssa Farah Griffin emphasized pride in being American and argued that the country transcends any individual leader.
Trump taps former Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer to head ICE
President Trump announced the nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper with over 29 years of law enforcement experience, to become the next director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Schroyer would replace Todd Lyons, who resigned in late May, with David Venturella currently serving as acting director. Trump highlighted Schroyer's experience in removing 'illegal aliens' and emphasized his ability to detain and deport criminals, including murderers and drug traffickers. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin endorsed the appointment, noting Schroyer's background in large-scale operations under the 287(g) program. Trump urged the Senate to confirm Schroyer quickly, stating that ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed leader in 11 years. The Department of Homeland Security reported that ICE's workforce increased from around 10,000 to 22,000 officers since Trump took office in January 2025.
Lead Iran negotiator tells allies Tehran will go to war again if U.S. does not fulfill commitments
Iran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned allies China and Belarus that Iran would consider resuming hostilities if the U.S. fails to uphold commitments outlined in a recent memorandum of understanding. This statement came during meetings in Tehran with delegations from China and Belarus, who were present for the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Ghalibaf emphasized Iran's expectation of non-interference by the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route previously disrupted by conflict. He also discussed strengthening economic ties with China, highlighting its role as a major buyer of Iranian oil and a potential strategic ally. Recent tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated after an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to reciprocal military actions before both sides agreed to de-escalate and hold indirect talks in Doha.
Ten years after Brexit, the U.K. marks a lost decade
Ten years after the Brexit referendum, the United Kingdom is facing ongoing political and economic challenges. The article highlights how Brexit, initially promised as a path to greater autonomy and reduced regulation, led to prolonged instability under successive Conservative governments. Prime Ministers like Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak faced significant difficulties, including scandals and economic turmoil. Current Labour leader Keir Starmer, elected on a platform of stability, recently resigned amid persistent issues such as migration and cost-of-living crises. The article notes that these challenges have created opportunities for right-wing parties like Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, to gain traction among traditional Labour supporters. However, Andy Burnham, a prominent Labour figure, won a special election against Reform UK, positioning him as a potential successor to Starmer. The piece draws parallels between the UK's situation and broader trends in Western democracies, where anti-establishment sentiment and voter dissatisfaction with current leadership are growing.
Key measure of inflation climbed in May as surging oil prices pushed costs higher
Inflation in the United States increased in May, with the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index rising to 4.1% annually, the highest since April 2023. Core PCE, excluding volatile food and energy costs, reached 3.4%, the highest since October 2023. Monthly PCE growth was 0.4%, while core PCE grew 0.3%. Despite rising inflation, consumer spending increased by 0.3% after stagnant growth in April, and inflation-adjusted incomes rose 0.3% following a decline in April. Bank of America reported continued consumer spending, with CEO Brian Moynihan noting positive trends in travel and dining. The Federal Reserve, under new chairman Kevin Warsh, aims to bring inflation back to its 2% target, though it has missed this goal for five years. Wall Street expects at least one interest rate hike by year-end to curb inflation. Oil prices recently dropped to postwar lows, aligning with falling Treasury yields, suggesting potential easing of monetary policy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted progress toward inflation targets, while analysts anticipate a more dovish approach from Warsh, influenced by reduced geopolitical tensions and Trump's push for lower rates.
I Am A Woman Who Had To Compete Against A Man And It’s Anything But Fair Play
The article discusses the impact of Title IX on women's sports and raises concerns about the fairness of allowing biological males to compete in women's athletic categories. The author, a former Division I track and field athlete, describes her dedication to training and competing at a high level, only to face the challenge of competing against a biological male athlete who had previously competed in the men's category. She highlights the physiological differences between males and females, noting that males can run approximately 11% faster and accelerate 20% faster than females. These differences, she argues, were acknowledged when Title IX established separate athletic categories. The article emphasizes the importance of maintaining these distinctions to preserve opportunities for female athletes, such as scholarships, championships, and record-breaking achievements. It also references upcoming Supreme Court cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which could determine the future of women's sports. The author criticizes the argument that allowing biological males into women's competitions is an act of inclusion, arguing that it undermines the fairness and protections,
Graham asks Trump to move forward with Clayton's DNI nomination
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urged President Donald Trump to move forward with the nomination of Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Graham made this request during an interview with CBS News's 'Face the Nation,' following reports that Trump had initially considered delaying Clayton's nomination. Clayton has been a prominent figure in federal law enforcement, having previously served as Deputy Attorney General under President George W. Bush. His potential appointment to the ODNI would place him in a key position overseeing U.S. intelligence activities. The decision to nominate Clayton reflects ongoing discussions within the Trump administration regarding national security leadership.
