The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.

It is unclear what authority relying on when changing program created by the state Legislature through a state law — revoking a state law typically requires either a court ruling or the Legislature repealing the law.

Even transit travelers or short-term visitors cannot leave Russia without a “document check” at a military enlistment office, with uncertain outcomes.
The Kremlin also plans to hand out draft notices at railway stations, seaports and land border crossings.

The Constitution is very straightforward on birthright citizenship. There's no ambiguity in the language, no other plausible interpretation.
The fact that this is a public discussion at all, and that the Supreme Court is taking it up, is on its own anti-constitutional bullshit.

No one mouthes the messages of Russian influence operations more loudly or consistently than Elon Musk. And note how he refuses to talk about his regular direct talks with Vladimir Putin, which as a top secret security holder he is obligated to report to USG, but does not—ever.
