Jim Santelle joins us as cohost for the day.
We begin by checking in on the firing of Milwaukee meteorologist Sam Kuffel for her privately shared opinions. Sam, like so many of us, noted with disgust and horror Elon Musk performing a Nazi salute– multiple times!– at the inauguration. And she did exactly what we hope anyone would do. She called it out and denounced it in the strongest terms. Next, we turn to the matter of birthright citizenship. On the first day of his second term, President Trump (wow that's painful to write) issued an Executive Order seeking to strip citizenship from some born in the United States in direct violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Immediately, many states, organizations, and individuals stood up and pushed back. Seattle federal attorney John C. Coughenour decried the move as "blatantly unconstitutional" as he set a temporary hold on the order. It's an example of what we need to do: push back.
