The Federalist: Kristen Welker’s Question About Citizenship Misses The Point
President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his intention to end birthright citizenship, prompting a discussion about the 14th Amendment. Critics argue that media misinterpretations of the amendment contribute to confusion about citizenship rights for children born to illegal immigrants.
The 14th Amendment's language includes a clause about being "subject to the jurisdiction," which some say excludes children of illegal aliens. The Supreme Court has not definitively ruled on this issue, leaving the debate unresolved as calls for clarification grow amid ongoing immigration challenges.

The Federalist: Court Filings Call For End Of Leftist Wisconsin AG's Witch Hunt
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul's forgery case against jurist Jim Troupis, tied to the Trump campaign's alternate electors, faces motions to dismiss. Troupis' defense argues that the charges lack probable cause and violate the Supremacy Clause, asserting that federal law supersedes state law in this context.
The motions highlight that the actions of Troupis and his co-defendants were legal under federal law, and the Wisconsin Elections Commission had previously dismissed complaints against them. The defense contends that the prosecution is politically motivated and not grounded in established law.

Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, criticized the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for including a provision that bans transgender medical care for minors.

Fox News: New Taliban decree bans women from medical training: 'devastating decision'
The Taliban has banned women in Afghanistan from attending nursing and midwifery classes, further restricting their access to education and professional opportunities. This decision, which follows previous bans on secondary and higher education for women, is seen as a significant setback for women's rights and Afghanistan's overall development.
Human rights advocates warn that this ban will exacerbate the country's already critical health care crisis, particularly in rural areas where female patients often cannot be treated by male doctors. The situation is dire, with high maternal and infant mortality rates, and the ban could worsen the humanitarian crisis affecting millions in Afghanistan.

Human Events: Javier Milei reduces inflation in Argentina from 25% to 2.7% after cutting 30,000 government jobs
Argentine President Javier Milei has implemented significant economic reforms, cutting 30,000 government jobs and reducing inflation from 25% to 2.7%. While supporters praise fiscal discipline, critics argue that austerity measures are harming social welfare, leading to protests.
