Will the Supreme Court and its MAGA 6 exercise any “judicial restraint” and take the easy way out by finding that Trump’s order reading birthright citizenship out of the Constitution violates both the 14th Amendment AND 2 Congressional laws from 1940 and 1952 as well.
Or will MAGA side with Trump creating an existential threat to who we are as Americans? Michael Popok provides a listening guide for tomorrow’s oral argument, with the assist of the ACLU who is arguing the case. - 03/31/2026.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the EU at a meeting of the European Union’s foreign ministers.
“Russia is investing in prolonging conflicts in the Middle East. Wars there make it easier to fuel this war here in Europe. This is exactly what happened after Hamas’s attack on Israel. The same applies to the war waged by the Iranian regime, which is trying to preserve its existence. I said this yesterday and I repeat it today: we have proposed a ceasefire for the duration of the Easter holidays. We hope the United States will support this proposal. And we are waiting for Russia’s response. Tomorrow I will speak with the American team, including on this issue. We hope for results. Results are needed by everyone.” - 04/01/2026.

Donald Trump has no idea how to fix the mess he has made with his attack on Iran, and now it seems he may not even try and may instead dump the challenge of re-opening the Strait of Hormuz on them. At the same time, several European allies are not allowing the U.S. to use their facilities or even cross their airspace in connection with Trump's war.
Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (ret.), former Commanding General of the U.S. Army, Europe, and Michael McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia discuss. - Aired on 03/31/2026.

Donald Trump is so enamored of his White House ballroom pet project that he talks about it every chance he gets, regardless of the setting. Sometimes it seems like he wishes Americans would be as distracted by it as he is.
But now a judge has put a halt to the project, reminding Trump that he is a steward of the White House, not the owner, and requiring him to get approval from Congress first. - Aired on 03/31/2026.
