    Amid a running separation-of-powers battle between President Donald Trump and the federal courts, Congress is stepping forward with an audacious proposal. The House of Representatives last week passed a more than 1,000-page budget and spending bill, the Trumpian-titled “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” Buried in the bill is a paragraph that experts say would neuter, at least in the short term, a key judicial power.

    In the past two weeks, two White House officials have floated the idea that President Donald Trump could suspend habeas corpus.

The 14th Amendment says that anyone born in the United States is automatically a citizen of this country – and has been settled law since the 19th century. President Donald Trump is seeking to put an asterisk on that amendment as part of his crackdown on immigration.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court will review, for the first time, Donald Trump's executive order redefining birthright citizenship. But the justices won't be deciding the constitutionality of the order. So what's at stake? https://t.co/WI7KqkC00P https://t.co/xhRnFbf7m9

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has long been targeted for closure. The Inter-American Foundation? Not so much. "We would have gladly welcomed collaboration," an agency official said. A look at 100(ish) days of @DOGE. https://t.co/nku22xbXnx

At a time of fracturing geopolitics, Pope Leo XIV is "someone who’s got a foot in Europe, a foot in North America, a foot in Latin America." "He wants us to open up to each other." https://t.co/wU0Lk3XZ8T
