Even the Washington Post agrees the U.S. Supreme Court overreached by trying to prevent voters and politicians from shaping the rules about who can get shares of Americans’ citizenship. “The justices decided more than they had to,” as they rejected President Donald Trump’s Executive Order curbing birthright citizenship, said an op-ed by the very pro-migration editorial board at Jeff Bezos’ newspaper. “The case could have been decided on narrower ground,” including by citing Congress’ 1952 citizenship law, the paper noted, adding: Declining to reach the constitutional question would have allowed that [citizenship] debate to continue. Opponents of the decision could…

The Times of Israel (TOI) suspected this was an oblique reference to Kurdish separatist groups, as the scene of the crime was the city of Paveh, close to the border of the Iraqi Kurdistan region. A later report from another state media outlet, the IRGC’s media network Sepah News, claimed a team of saboteurs working for separatist groups entered…

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans. Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts. “I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded. Your life expectancy has gone…

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has been privately contacting progressive Democrats, pro-Palestinian activists, former aides, and other party figures ahead of a possible 2028 White House run, according to a report from Axios.

Axios cited a person familiar with the call and…

West Jerusalem’s Armenian Genocide recognition exposes a deeper fight for influence in Washington The Israeli government’s decision to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide has become one of the most symbolic and politically sensitive steps in Israel’s relations with Türkiye. On the surface, it may look like Israel feels the need to restore historical justice: A state founded by a people who survived the horrific tragedy of the Holocaust proclaims a moral obligation to recognize the tragedies of other peoples and oppose the denial of crimes against humanity. But in world politics, moral arguments rarely exist in isolation; most often, they…
