After Coughenour ruled Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship to be blatantly unconstitutional, the judge said the threats started pouring in. Coughenour told a story about being confronted by five sheriff's deputies with long rifles who were called to his home on a tip he had murdered his wife. It was a cruel hoax, Whitaker said, adding that the next day, Coughenour received a bomb threat.
Data on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) are essential for understanding the characteristics of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations in the United States. However, on the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that declared it was official policy of the administration that transgender, nonbinary, and intersex identities would not be recognized by the federal government.
Last March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that the government would launch a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. For the crypto industry, the move was a major win, the next step in its quest to normalize digital assets. Now, nearly a year later, the amount of Bitcoin held by the U.S. government does seem to be growing, but the federal government also seems somewhat reluctant to talk about about if, and how, the stockpile will actually be set up.
Empty bolt holes and shadows are all that remains on the brick walls where explanatory panels were displayed at the President's House Site, where George and Martha Washington lived with the people they owned as property during the years when Philadelphia was the nation's capital. One woman cried silently at their absence. Someone left a bouquet of flowers. A hand-lettered sign said "Slavery was real."
As we have consistently underscored, assessed contributions to the United Nations regular budget and peacekeeping budget, as approved by the General Assembly, are a legal obligation under the UN Charter for all Member States, including the United States," Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for Guterres, said in a statement. He added that despite the announcement, the U.N. entities targeted will keep doing their work: The United Nations has a responsibility to deliver for those who depend on us.
President Donald Trump's recent executive order has turned the post-Christmas slump into an official extension of the holiday season, designating Friday, Dec. 26, as a federal holiday. While his directive has effectively shuttered federal offices for a rare five-day weekend, the rest of the economy is operating in a state of partial suspension, leading to a confusing situation about who, exactly, is back to business today.
In an executive order, Donald Trump declared "Antifa" a terrorist organization. As it isn't an organization, there aren't leaders to target, so zealous conservatives took aim at Mark Bray, a Rutgers professor who wrote a book about fighting fascism eight years ago. The clumsy attempts to get him fired didn't bother him-but the doxxing and death threats were enough to convince him he needed to leave America.
The card which is, as the name suggests, gold prominently features a stern-looking Trump; he is flanked by the Statue of Liberty and a bald eagle, while the American flag is in the bottom left corner. It also has the presidential seal in the right upper corner, and is emblazoned with Trump Gold Card next to Trump's mug, in case those cardholders forget who came up with the idea, apparently.
The Hegseth Policy likely does not violate equal protection. We doubt that the policy triggers any form of heightened scrutiny. In Skrmetti, the Supreme Court held that a law prohibiting the use of hormones to treat gender dysphoria in minors classifies on the basis of medical use and thus does not discriminate based on either sex or transgender status The same reasoning would seem to cover the Hegseth Policy, which classifies based on the medical condition of gender dysphoria.
A federal judge on Monday struck down Donald Trump's executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of windfarms on federal lands and waters was arbitrary and capricious and violated US law. Judge Patti Saris of the US district court for the district of Massachusetts vacated Trump's 20 January executive order blocking wind energy projects and declared it unlawful.
Catch up quick: Trump issued an executive order Saturday directing the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to establish task forces on anti-competitive behavior in the food supply chain. The order specifically directs them to look at "whether control of food-related industries by foreign entities is increasing the cost of food products in the United States or creating a national or economic security threat to Americans." The task forces are expected to brief congressional leaders within six months.
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are trying again to eliminate state-level AI regulations in favor of a federal standard. The plan faces opposition from many state governments and civil-society organizations, while AI vendors have welcomed it.
