Matt Rothschild joins us as cohost for the day.
President Trump seeks to change the US Constitution by executive order, a clear violation of that very document. On the first day of his second term, he ended birthright citizenship by executive order. Granted, over 20 states immediately filed lawsuits and the negation of the 14th amendment's granting of citizenship to all those born on US soil won't take effect unless the legal challenges are all dismissed. Here's a line-by-line breakdown of Trump's executive order.
As this second Trump presidency unfolds and brings out the worst of oligarchy, we must be prepared to speak truth to power. We saw a powerful example of that on Inauguration Day. The Right Reverend Mariann Budde delivered an inaugural sermon on unity, patriotism, and compassion. And she addressed Trump directly in a plea for mercy towards the citizens and residents of this great country. She's an example for us all.
