Trump lashes out at Europe as growing number of allies reject US calls for help
US President Donald Trump has asked European allies for a lot lately — the use of military bases, the potential relocation of missile defense systems and generally stronger support for US military action against Iran
The country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory,
The only country that has directly benefited from NATO military action is the United States, when NATO’s Article Five was invoked for the first time after the September 11 attacks,
Trump has been astonishingly inconsistent in his criticism,
One key issue for European countries is the issue of legality,
Meloni’s relationship with Trump has always been based more on politics than on policies,
At the minimum, what they also mean is that this war was not agreed by NATO allies. They were not consulted,
Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil,
Trump signs executive order to crack down on mail-in voting
The states run these elections — if they want to use the US mail, the US Postal Service, they’re going to get a code, a bar code, from the US Postal Service and they’re going to put that on the envelope and we’re going to have one envelope per vote,
We want to have honest voting in our country,
I don’t see how anybody can challenge it.”
Because of the fact that I’m President of the United States.”

Trump officials acknowledge they can’t promise to reopen Strait of Hormuz before ending Iran war
All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,

This Strait of Hormuz issue, which we’ve set the conditions for success and we will make sure Iran knows that very clearly, is not just a United States of America problem set,
The President is confident that the Strait will be opened very soon, and our military continues to steadily degrade Iran’s ability to terrorize merchant ships,
But these countries have a lot at stake, not just the G7 countries, but countries in Asia and all over the world have a lot at stake and should contribute greatly to that effort to ensure that neither the Strait of Hormuz or, frankly, any international waterways should ever be something that’s controlled or tolled by a nation-state or by a terroristic government like the one that exists in Iran today, and that’s their radical clerical regime,
China and Pakistan call on the parties to protect the security of ships and crew members stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, allow the early and safe passage of civilian and commercial ships, and restore normal passage through the Strait as soon as possible,
When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multi-year lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions.”

Trump’s top litigator faces uphill battle with birthright citizenship
Sauer is so favored by the president that when he lost a case about Trump’s tariff policy earlier this year, a livid Trump publicly blamed the loss on the justices at a White House news conference with his solicitor general
He’s been able to play a bunch of home games with the court to this point; even though the government was the nominal petitioner here, this is really an away game — where the party that really wanted the court to decide the merits was the court itself,
John Sauer has been so effective for President Trump, both as his defense attorney and as a solicitor general. He is certainly at the top of my short list for the Supreme Court,
It’s a remarkably weak case, not only because the Supreme Court answered this question 128 years ago, but because Congress wrote that answer into federal law in both 1940 and 1952,
If the justices follow the law … this is an easy decision. If the justices embrace politics, then it’s a messy decision,
Judge rules that White House ballroom construction ‘has to stop!’
The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!”
(U... U)nless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!”
The President may at any time go to Congress to obtain express authority to construct a ballroom and to do so with private funds. Indeed, Congress may even choose to appropriate funds for the ballroom, or at least decide that some other funding scheme is acceptable,
Either way, Congress will thereby retain its authority over the nation’s property and its oversight over the Government’s spending,

Federal judge rules Trump order ending NPR and PBS funding was unconstitutional
The ruling will not reverse the Trump-led campaign to strip NPR and PBS stations of federal funding
The First Amendment draws a line, which the government may not cross, at efforts to use government power — including the power of the purse — ‘to punish or suppress disfavored expression’ by others,
As we argued, and Judge Moss ruled, the executive order is textbook unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and retaliation, in violation of longstanding First Amendment principles,
We’re thrilled with today’s decision declaring the executive order unconstitutional.”

Takeaways from the Supreme Court decision on Colorado law banning ‘conversion therapy’ for trans and gay minors
Colorado enacted its law in 2019 to protect gay and transgender youth subjected to the scientifically discredited practice of attempting to “convert” their sexual orientation or gender identity
Because the state has suppressed one side of a debate, while aiding the other, the constitutional issue is straightforward,
The Constitution does not pose a barrier to reasonable regulation of harmful medical treatments just because substandard care comes via speech instead of scalpel,
Colorado may regard its policy as essential to public health and safety,
As Kagan explains, the problem with Colorado’s law isn’t that it is based on the content of therapists’ speech, but that it isn’t neutral as to the viewpoint they’re expressing,
One of the real clues to both the significance and limits of today’s ruling comes from Justice Kagan’s short concurring opinion,
We are on a slippery slope now: For the first time, the Supreme Court has interpreted the First Amendment to bless a risk of therapeutic harm to children by limiting the State’s ability to regulate medical providers who treat patients with speech,
What’s next? In the worst-case scenario, our medical system unravels as various licensed healthcare professionals — talk therapists, psychiatrists, and presumably anyone else who claims to utilize speech when administering treatments to patients — start broadly wielding their newfound constitutional right to provide substandard medical care,
The Constitution does not protect the right of some to speak freely; it protects the right of all,
