Capitol Hill grapples with AI safety, impeachment drama, and crypto rules

A sprawling Capitol Hill update shows lawmakers contending with a crowded agenda: bipartisan AI safety proposals are gaining traction and drawing industry support, even as impeachment debates and votes churn in Congress; a major crypto regulation bill stalls over ethics and governance provisions amid partisan divides; separate debates touch on birthright citizenship, vaccine issues in confirmations, and FBI oversight, all unfolding as the midterm elections approach.

Trump rails at his own Supreme Court picks after mail-ballot ruling

President Trump blasted the Supreme Court’s midterm mail-ballot ruling, calling the justices he appointed “betrayals” and accusing them of bowing to the Radical Left. The court blocked his administration’s attempt to tighten mail-ballot rules; Justice Kavanaugh joined the majority in a separate concurrence, while Justices Alito and Thomas dissented and Gorsuch and Barrett did not dissent. The majority’s reasoning was not explained in the emergency order, and the decision effectively ends the litigation for the election cycle.

White House pushes Congress to curb birth tourism after birthright ruling

The Trump administration told Senate committees it is working with Congress to draft new laws that would give authorities to crack down on birth tourism and prevent automatic citizenship for babies born to non-citizens in the U.S., following a Supreme Court ruling that blocked an executive order on birthright citizenship; the effort includes considering enforcement actions and legislation, though prospects in the current Congress appear limited.

Court blocks Trump's latest bid to curb birthright citizenship

A U.S. judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump's new executive order aimed at narrowing birthright citizenship, including limits tied to birth tourism and children of 'alien enemies.' Citing the Supreme Court's June ruling, the judge said the order is almost certainly unconstitutional and paused enforcement while immigrant-rights groups challenge it; the administration is expected to appeal.

Court blocks Trump’s bid to curb birthright citizenship

A federal judge blocked President Trump’s August executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, saying the issue is already settled by the Supreme Court and that no presidential action can undo that precedent. Judge Deborah L. Boardman called the move “almost certainly unconstitutional” in light of a June Supreme Court ruling affirming birthright citizenship for nearly everyone born in the United States, and noted the order targeted groups such as the children of foreign lobbyists and “alien enemies.”

Court blocks Trump’s bid to strip birthright citizenship from newborns

A Maryland federal judge blocked Donald Trump’s latest executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, saying the measures are almost certainly unconstitutional and must align with the Supreme Court’s Wong Kim Ark ruling that citizenship is conferred at birth.

Judge blocks Trump's renewed birthright citizenship crackdown

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s August executive order that would narrow birthright citizenship, preventing enforcement while agencies draft guidance. The court said the policy is likely unconstitutional in light of the Supreme Court’s summer ruling striking down his earlier attempt to end birthright citizenship, and it covers the class of children who would have been denied citizenship under the first order. A separate New Hampshire case challenging the policy is still pending. Trump has signaled he may appeal to the Supreme Court if needed.

Maryland Judge Halts Trump’s Latest Bid to Limit Birthright Citizenship

A Maryland federal judge blocked President Trump's August executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, citing the Supreme Court's Barbara v. Trump ruling that children born in the U.S. are citizens at birth; the injunction follows the high court's 6-3 decision that the prior effort was unconstitutional and keeps legal challenges alive.

Judge blocks Trump's birthright citizenship limit, upholding 14th Amendment protections

A federal judge blocked President Trump's August executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, calling it almost certainly unconstitutional and citing the Supreme Court's June ruling that blocked a broader 2025 version; the CASA Inc. plaintiff remains central to the case, with the court signaling that further rulings could favor CASA as the complaint is updated.

Judge blocks Trump birthright citizenship bid citing Supreme Court ruling

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of provisions in President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order, ruling it conflicts with the Supreme Court’s June decision; the injunction applies to children born after Feb. 19, 2025 (births before that date are not covered), and the judge noted the text could be read as retroactive.

The Court's Delay Strategy Keeps Trump's Election Agenda Moving

An opinion piece argues the Supreme Court uses procedural delays to let Trump push ahead with election actions—such as mail-ballot rules and other directives—by lifting injunctions and blocking timely rulings. It highlights cases on mail ballots and birthright citizenship and notes Justice Jackson’s criticisms of a 'Catch-Me-If-You-Can' approach that lets unlawful conduct persist while lower courts are constrained to process questions.

Trump's narrowed birthright orders face court battles after Supreme Court setback

After the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling, Trump issued two narrower executive orders aimed at limiting citizenship for children born to noncitizens and at curbing birth tourism. The first directs agencies to withhold citizenship documents for certain children whose parents aren’t U.S. citizens, including some tied to foreign governments or terrorist organizations; the second targets visas and removal actions for individuals believed to be in the U.S. primarily to give birth. Legal experts are divided: conservatives say the measures hinge on longstanding exceptions and executive power, while opponents warn they could be unconstitutional and raise standing issues. Litigation and injunctions are already underway, with the orders set to take effect Sept. 6, and possible paths via Congress or a constitutional amendment if challenged succeed.

Kavanaugh’s Ruling Opens Door for Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Push

Slate argues that Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s stance on birthright citizenship helped set up President Trump’s latest bid to redefine who is a citizen, as Trump issues two executive orders expanding exceptions and targeting birth tourism, despite the Constitution guaranteeing birthright citizenship; the piece contends the court’s conservative tilt and a narrow Barbara ruling leave room for further challenges to the 14th Amendment’s protections.

Trump Tests Birthright Citizenship Boundaries With Narrower Order

President Donald Trump issued a narrower executive order aimed at stripping citizenship from some Americans born in the United States, in a bid to test where the Supreme Court will draw the line on birthright citizenship. Vox’s explainer situates the move against long-standing precedent from Wong Kim Ark and the Barbara v. Barbara decision, arguing that most provisions—such as denaturalizing children of diplomats or so-called birth tourists—are unconstitutional, with outcomes depending on five Supreme Court votes and potential future vacancies.
