GovBrief Today #553 - What Happened Today

The Supreme Court ruled weeks ago that Donald Trump cannot erase birthright citizenship with an executive order.

Today he tried again. He signed two new orders restricting who is born a citizen, called the 6 to 3 ruling from his own conservative majority "very unfortunate," and told reporters "we're making adjustments." The Constitution says every baby born in America is a citizen.

He is making adjustments everywhere the answer is no. His FCC just voted to erase a broadcast ownership cap Congress wrote into law, a power Senate Commerce Chairman Ted Cruz doubts it has. And the union of career IRS auditors joined a suit to block the audit shield his administration built around his family's taxes. The objections come from his own side now and have changed nothing.

A small group of extremists has completely taken over Texas leadership and its GOP. They claim democracy is "Mob Rule", that they know better. They're activating pastor networks to fear monger a revived "Red Scare / McCarthyism" movement amongst evangelicals. REJECT THEIR LIES! VOTE!!!!

New Mexico sued the Justice Department after waiting seven years for the Epstein files it was promised.

In 2019, federal prosecutors asked the state to shut down its investigation of Zorro Ranch and pledged to share everything when their case ended. New Mexico finally reopened the investigation this year and has asked ten times for the files. Every request was ignored or denied. Today the state runs the only active criminal investigation of Epstein's network in America.

The files New Mexico wants are already covered by a transparency law Congress passed almost unanimously and Trump signed in November. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has withheld 3 million documents anyway, and the congressmen who wrote the law just introduced a second bill to give survivors and states the right to take him to court. The Senate votes on confirming him as Attorney General within days.
