The Western Journal: Associated Press Barred from Oval Office for Policy on Gulf of America

The Western Journal: Secret Pact Between 22 Democratic AGs Discovered, Plot to Defy Trump Now Totally Exposed: Report
A secret agreement among 22 Democratic attorneys general and the District of Columbia was revealed, aimed at countering potential challenges to birthright citizenship following Donald Trump's 2024 election victory. This pact, signed shortly after the election, focuses on legal strategies to defend against any executive actions that could alter citizenship rights based on the Fourteenth Amendment.
Critics argue that this effort reflects a misalignment of priorities, as it diverts attention from pressing issues like inflation and crime, and instead seeks to secure future Democratic voters by protecting the citizenship status of children born to illegal immigrants. This approach may hinder the Democratic Party's ability to regain voter trust in the wake of their electoral losses.
