Tuesday’s results leave Republicans reeling as Democrats consolidated power in governors’ offices, state courts, attorney general seats, and city halls, reshaping political dynamics in three key states ahead of the midterms and the 2028 election. The outcome also represents a major defeat for President Donald Trump, who worked frantically to rally support for Republicans and even issued threats in an attempt to defeat Mamdani.

    He can legally remove-citizenship from anybody, now, & no court-injunction has any power on him, or his appointees I read ( that was bundled-into his big “beautiful” bill, apparently )

    No, he can’t. Not even Congress can change the Constitution without an amendment. Trump can “try” to make the claim that he can do this, but the courts will stop him.

    I get that things seem bleak, but you can blame that on the media for not adequately covering all his losses in court. He has been blocked on almost everything that he’s been trying to do. What he has been able to get away with, is a vastly toned-down version of what he wanted to do…and he seems unwilling to push the envelope too far. Which means he knows he won’t actually get away with it.

    Most of his “power”, comes from lying to you about what he can and can’t do. Don’t give him too much credit.

      Its also, little solace as it may be, against international law for a country to denaturalize any of its born citizens and leave them stateless

        The USA seems to go out of its way to break international law every chance it gets like it’s trying to get a high score

      And has the loses in court stopped them? The courts have no enforcement arm.

        It actually has stopped a lot of what they’ve been trying to do. They’ve been getting spanked in court, and it’s actually pretty entertaining watching how incompetent they all are.
