LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump’s administration released a document in the wee hours of Friday morning bemoaning “civilizational erasure” in Europe, and much of it could be read as a dog whistle to white nationalists. Its members include right-wing parties from around Europe with aggressive anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. “The sentiment behind the words seems to stoke fear of migrants and an adherence to an idealized, old-world Europe that is questionable at best. Modern Europe is vibrant, evolving, and — largely — pretty happy.”This rhetoric is extreme, even for the Trump administration, she continued. “Not only does it misread Europe’s current state, but it leans hard into far-right wing political parties’ talking points.”

LOADING ERROR LOADINGIndiana state House Republicans passed a new state congressional map Friday at the behest of President Donald Trump, advancing the legislation to the state Senate, where it is unclear if enough lawmakers will support its final passage. While Trump and many other Republicans are celebrating the passage, the map faces its true test in the state Senate, where many GOP lawmakers have opposed mid-decade redistricting. In 2021, when the current congressional district map was passed, state lawmakers held multiple public hearings around the state over several months. Smaltz said the Trust gave Indiana Republicans one option for the statewide map. In the 50-member Senate, Republicans need at least 25 votes to pass the legislation.

Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. What does Trump do for exercise? “Exercise increases mitochondrial efficiency — essentially the body’s ‘power plants’ — and improves cardiovascular and metabolic health,” Persaud explained. Katie Gould, the founder of KG Strong, a kettlebell and strength training studio in Philadelphia, said she’s heard clients share their own versions of it. For adults, the American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderately intense activity per week, plus strength training twice weekly.

Trump signed the executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship on his first day in office. Trump’s attempt to roll back a century of established law has sparked significant pushback in the nation’s lower courts. The president asked the Supreme Court in March not to decide the merits of his order on birthright explicitly, but rather, to vastly restrict how nationwide injunctions from the district courts are issued. As HuffPost reported, Trump’s order declared that any child born in the U.S. to an undocumented person 30 days from Jan. 20, 2025, would not be considered an American citizen. Arguments will be held next year, though the order from the Supreme Court on Friday did not specify a date.

The case emerges from Trump’s mass purges of Democratic appointees from independent agencies across the executive branch. AdvertisementThe Supreme Court is expected to rule in favor of President Donald Trump's request to allow him to fire independent agency officials for any reason. These decisions build directly to what the court’s conservatives will do in Slaughter: kill off the independent agencies that Congress created, and eliminate their ability to block presidential agendas. “[T]he Federal Reserve’s independence rests on the same constitutional and analytic foundations as that of [other independent agencies] – which is to say it rests largely on Humphrey’s [Executor],” Kagan writes. However the court’s conservatives choose to contort themselves to protect the Federal Reserve as they kill independent agencies, this won’t be the end of this question.
