'Alarm bells' ring as Trump resurrects racist arguments in major legal case: experts
The 14th Amendment is clear to me and the arguments being raised by trump are weak. The authority cited by trump's DOJ is really weak.
'Alarm bells' ring as Trump resurrects racist arguments in major legal case: experts

The Trump administration is relying on legal arguments developed by Confederate officers and 19th-century xenophobes to challenge birthright citizenship in a Supreme Court case expected to be decided by summer, drawing criticism from legal scholars who say the administration is recycling deeply racist historical precedents.
The administration's Supreme Court brief cites Alexander Porter Morse, a Confederate officer and Louisiana attorney who advocated for legalized segregation in the 1896 case that established the "separate but equal" doctrine that propped up Jim Crow laws, reported the Washington Post.
"The Trump administration has tapped Morse as an authority in its push to upend long-settled law that virtually everyone born in the United States is a citizen," the Post reported. "Over a century ago, Morse was among a trio of thinkers who spearheaded a failed effort — steeped in anti-Black and anti-Chinese racism — to erase birthright citizenship. The Trump administration is reviving their arguments to make its case today, some legal scholars say."
The administration also relies on arguments from Francis Wharton, a legal scholar who wrote that Chinese immigrants were insufficiently "civilized," and George D. Collins, a San Francisco attorney whose career ended in scandal.
Lucy Salyer, a University of New Hampshire history professor, expressed concern about the administration's approach. "If you know the history and the broader context of what they were trying to achieve, it does ring alarm bells," she said.

MaddowBlog-Trump gives Russia yet another pass, says it's 'fine' for Putin to break Cuba oil blockade
The president is no doubt aware of concerns that he has been compromised by Moscow, and he’s not exactly going out of his way to temper those fears.

Shortly after starting the war with Iran, Donald Trump made little effort to hide the fact that Cuba was his next target. The American president didn’t explicitly say that he intends to use military force against the island nation, but he did suggest that he intended to bring down the government in Havana — soon......
It was against this backdrop that Russia announced plans to provide Cuba with oil — and Team Trump is apparently fine with it. The New York Times reported that the U.S. administration is “allowing a Russian tanker full of crude oil to reach Cuba, delivering a critical supply of energy to the island nation.” From the article:
While the Times’ account, which mirrored a related report in The Washington Post, hasn’t been independently verified by MS NOW, Trump largely confirmed the story during his Air Force One Q&A.
.....The initial reaction from the American president and his team to the original allegations was to express total indifference. This was soon followed by news that the Republican administration agreed effectively to reward Putin’s regime by temporarily easing oil sanctions on the country — twice.
Soon after, Trump explicitly made the case that he understands Russia’s role in helping Iran, since the U.S. has assisted Ukraine.
And in case that weren’t quite enough, the Republican is now letting Moscow undermine his own U.S. policy in Cuba, too.

The Russian ship’s arrival would shift the trajectory of a rapidly accelerating crisis in Cuba, buying the island nation at least a few weeks before its fuel reserves run out, analysts said.
It would also reduce pressure on a Cuban government facing a looming economic collapse and escalating threats from Washington, and show that, at least for now, the island can still depend on its longtime ally Russia.

Q: Do you worry that that helps Vladimir Putin?

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In yet another indication of the heavy turnout for the No Kings rallies, over 400 of Elon Musk’s children attended the protests, according to estimates released on Monday.
Furious about the size of the No Kings crowds, Donald J. Trump claimed that the estimated attendance of eight million “is much lower when you subtract all the people who were there to show their hate for Elon.”
“People are saying the number of Elon’s kids who turned out was much higher than 400—thousands, maybe millions,” he said. “You take away Elon’s kids and almost no one was there.”
Calling the number of Musk children who despise their father “a sad situation, quite frankly,” he added, “So many of Elon’s kids showed up there was practically no room for Antifa.”

Trump stuns with admission he surrounds himself with 'losers': 'That explains the Cabinet'
I remain shocked that most of the members of trump's cabinet were confirmed. trump's cabinet is full of incompetent idiots who would never be hired by a sane and intelligent president. trump appointed these idiots because they are losers and the GOP senate confirmed these idiots.

President Donald Trump made a wildly condescending admission about the sort of people he likes to surround himself with during an event in Miami shortly after the signing of his executive order to move money around to pay Transportation Security Administration officials in the absence of a congressional deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.
"I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better," said Trump. "I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success."
This admission caused an eruption from commenters on social media.
"A better explanation of his two administrations than any idea that any pundit has come up with," wrote financial columnist Heidi Moore.
"The only moment of self-awareness in Trump’s life," wrote podcaster and former Barack Obama strategist Dan Pfeiffer.
"Well, that explains the Cabinet!" said writer and political commentator Robert A. George.

Hegseth has 'threatened' military chaplains who refuse to back his Iran war plans: report

Hegseth has 'threatened' military chaplains who refuse to back his Iran war plans: report

https://www.rawstory.com/hegseth-iran-2676634943/
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has alienated a critical group within the military establishment — religious leaders and chaplains — by weaponizing Christianity to justify the Iran war and creating an atmosphere of fear for those who refuse to comply with his ideological demands.
According to Washington Post analyst Michelle Boorstein, Hegseth's inflammatory rhetoric at a recent Pentagon prayer service has triggered serious alarm among military chaplains and senior officials who view his approach as a dangerous departure from Pentagon norms.
At the prayer service, Hegseth invoked religious language to justify military violence, saying: "Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation. Give them wisdom in every decision … and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.".....
Pentagon insiders describe the atmosphere as chilling. An anonymous Department of Defense source characterized the environment as "terrifying," noting that personnel working under Hegseth fear being punished or fired for failing to embrace his Christian nationalist worldview.
An unnamed member of a recent Joint Chiefs chairman's leadership team articulated the constitutional threat directly: "I don't approve of cramming your religious faith down people's throats, and when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-Christian tone, it flies in the face of the freedom of religion that the Constitution enshrines and that our men and women in uniform sign up to defend."

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-administration-will-pay-1b-to-block-2-offshore-wind-farms/
The U.S. government will pay a French energy firm nearly $1 billion to cancel its plans to build a pair of wind farms off the East Coast, the Trump administration announced Monday in its latest move to stymie offshore wind.
The French firm TotalEnergies will forfeit its leases for projects off the coasts of New York and North Carolina, with the United States paying $928 million to reimburse what the company initially spent on the leases.
Under the deal, TotalEnergies will reinvest that money into oil and gas projects, including a liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to block the development of offshore wind projects, which many East Coast states have been counting on to meet their energy needs in the coming years. The projects canceled under the deal announced Monday would have provided power to more than 1 million homes.
Late last year, the Trump administration invoked classified national security threats to stop work on five wind farms that were under construction, but courts have ruled that the projects can proceed. But for dozens of other projects still in the planning and permitting stages, industry experts expect little progress while Trump remains in office.

https://www.ms.now/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-classified-documents-case-white-house-business-purposes
Responding to new reporting that Jack Smith had gathered evidence that Donald Trump stole sensitive government documents for business reasons, the White House said Trump “did nothing wrong, which is why he easily defeated the Biden DOJ’s unprecedented lawfare campaign against him and then won nearly 80 million votes in a landslide election victory.”
Several things are wrong or misleading in that brief statement. .....
Rather, I’m going to focus on the White House’s backward chronology.
Trump didn’t “defeat” his federal prosecutions “and then” win the 2024 election. Instead, he won the election and then the Justice Department declined to move forward in the classified documents and 2020 election interference cases, citing its internal policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.
Whether that procedural burial counts as a “defeat” or an “eas[y]” one I’ll leave to the reader. But the order of events matters.
The president had pleaded not guilty in both federal cases (he pleaded not guilty in all four of his prosecutions; the only one that went to trial, the New York state hush money case, ended in a conviction that’s on appeal). But whether he “did nothing wrong,” as the White House put it, is something that juries never got a chance to consider.
When the election case was dropped, the trial judge was considering how much of it could go forward after the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.
In the documents case, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed it before trial on the grounds that Smith had been unlawfully appointed. The DOJ dropped its appeal of the Trump-appointed judge’s dismissal after he won the 2024 election.
Cannon has continued to rule in favor of keeping Smith’s report on the documents case secret. The report’s release is the subject of its own pending appeal, the result of which could shed more light on whether Trump “did nothing wrong.”

LEXINGTON, KY (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump was reportedly “apoplectic with rage” on Saturday after a tiny crowd showed up for his heavily-publicized “Pro Kings” rally.
An advance team led by Eric Trump had scheduled the event at Lexington, Kentucky’s Kroger Field, a stadium with a 61,000-seat capacity, but later engaged in what was called “an orgy of finger-pointing” after only 17 people turned out.
Taking to Truth Social, the elder Trump called the minuscule Pro Kings crowd a “total disgrace,” adding, “Especially this year, when we’re celebrating the 250th anniversary of the last time we had a King!”

In what’s being called an “exceedingly rare” move, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of two Black and two female colonels to one-star generals.
The New York Times reported Friday that some senior US military officials are questioning whether Hegseth acted out of animus toward Black people and women after the defense secretary blocked the promotion of the four officers despite the repeated objections of Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, who touted what the Times called the colonels’ “decadeslong records of exemplary service.”
Military officials told the Times that Hegseth’s chief of staff, Lt. Col. Ricky Buria, got into a heated exchange with Driscoll last summer over the promotion of another officer, Maj. Gen. Antoinette Gant—a combat veteran of the US invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq—to command the Military District of Washington, DC.
Such a promotion would have placed Gant in charge of numerous events at which she would likely be seen publicly with President Donald Trump. According to multiple military officials, Buria told Driscoll that Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer.

For weeks, as President Donald Trump has overseen a war in Iran and standoffs on Capitol Hill, his private conversations have kept straying back to something else: a Senate primary in Texas that he hasn’t been able to make up his mind on......
Many Republican leaders have viewed Cornyn as more electable in November than Paxton, who has been dogged by scandals involving accusations of infidelity and misuse of public funds. Paxton was impeached in 2023 by the Republican majority Texas House, but acquitted by the state Senate.
But the Trump-loving grassroots conservative base in Texas has raged against the incumbent, and the president has taken notice — quietly backing off a plan in early March to endorse Cornyn and try to push Paxton, a MAGA hero, out of the race......
On his golf course in West Palm Beach on Sunday, Trump remarked that he believes his “base is with Paxton,” said a person with knowledge of the comment, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation with the president. He has peppered others with questions on the race in recent days and repeated the sentiment about his supporters largely favoring Paxton, according to three people familiar with those conversations.....
Cornyn’s supporters have argued that he would be a stronger candidate against the Democratic nominee, James Talarico. But as videos have surfaced of controversial, liberal comments by Talarico, the White House has grown increasingly confident that either Republican would win.
