Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder that will attempt to amend the #14thAmendment to revoke #BirthrightCitizenship. The president cannot change the #Constitution on his own, so it’s not yet clear how Trump plans to withhold the benefits of #citizenship to a group of people born in the #UnitedStates. The move is all but certain to be challenged in court.

In its first cuts, #ElonMusk’s *non-governmental* advisory group, the Department of Government Efficiency, or #DOGE, posted a screenshot on X of a deleted page for the Office of Personnel Management’s inter-agency council for chief #diversity officers. The council advised agencies on diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs. #Trump on Monday promised the end of #DEI practices in federal government & said hiring would be based on merit (sure, Jan). “It begins,” Musk posted.
