We’re challenging President Trump’s executive order that aims to heavily limit our ability to vote by mail.

President Trump, we’ll see you in court.

Live Updates: Supreme Court Hears Challenge to Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order President Trump attended the arguments but left after the government presented its case. A victory for the administration would bar children of undocumented immigrants or temporary residents from automatically being Americans.

Breaking News: Key Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical of President Trump’s efforts to limit birthright citizenship during oral arguments. Follow updates here.

The SAVE Act faces long odds in the Senate. GOP-led states are picking up the cause Several Republican-led states have passed their own versions of the SAVE America Act, Trump-backed legislation that would introduce new proof-of-citizenship requirements to register to vote.

Today shapes the definition of American identity. #SCOTUS

I share my thoughts and what I learned from my mother here: open.substack.com/pub/marciama...

What My Mother Taught Me About Being American: The Promise of America Is Not Up for Negotiation Birthright citizenship is not a privilege—it is a constitutional promise

My mother fought to become an American. I was born into the promise she claimed.

Birthright citizenship is not a privilege... It is a constitutional promise.

To be American is to fight for each other.

I wrote about why this matters now: open.substack.com/pub/marciama...

Watching this + thinking about my mom, the first and only in her family to naturalize. She did it for us when I was little. The ACLU + Bruce bring attention to birthright citizenship and civil liberties ahead of Trump v. Barbara, I’m reminded that the path she paved is one we still have to defend. 🗽

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

JD Vance: Loud enough to demand people be fired for 'disrespecting' Charlie Kirk, but too much of a charlatan to denounce his own President for celebrating the death of Robert Mueller. Selective 'decency' is just another word for hypocrisy."

No more withdrawals without deposits. Oh, and we’re no longer financing one-way relationships either. 😉

Same for you? #laaaaaaaater

Well.
I finally published my first SubStack.

“It is critical to wipe the sleep from our eyes, pull the plugs from our ears, and reach our hands out for one another. In tandem, we need leaders, fighters, and also citizens to simply hold the line.”

Supreme Court won’t disturb new California congressional map It seemed unlikely the justices would block Democrats’ gerrymandering effort after they kept Texas’ Republican map in place.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejected a GOP bid to halt California's new congressional map, giving Dems the chance to grab up to five blue seats.

Columbia Mayor Molder holds financial advantage in 5th District race • Tennessee Lookout Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder holds a financial advantage in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District race, including over U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles.

With end of 2025 campaign finance disclosures recently released, I did one of my favorite things: I poured a big cup of coffee and created a spreadsheet, tracking fundraising, spending, cash on hand and notable donors. Here's a look at Congressional District 5.

A federal judge ordered 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father to be released from federal immigration custody after the pair was detained in their driveway in Minnesota.

The judge ordered that Liam and his father be released from custody “as soon as practicable.” https://wapo.st/46jjCqH

It’s the Nashville way. Always has been. Always will be.

🧊Ice Totals:
Ice: Severe ice accretion reached 0.20” to 0.80” in parts of the region, causing trees and power lines to snap under the weight.

💓SIDE BAR. So many neighbor, businesses, and non-profits have given a hand and fully opened their arms to support one another.

🪫Power Outages: At the height of the storm, apx 365k customers were without power, the highest total in the nation.

🥶As of TODAY, over 90k remain without power in the Nashville area alone. Nashville Electric Service (NES) reported a peak of 230k outages, one of the largest events in its history.

Fatalities: As of 1/29, the TN Department of Health confirmed 14 weather-related deaths statewide.
- Davidson County: 4 deaths
- Knox County: 1 death (others under investigation).
- Other Counties: Deaths reported in Cheatham (2), Hardin (2), Haywood (1), Henderson (1), Hickman (1), and Obion (1).

Sexton should include line items of what he’s done for fellow Tennesseans who have been grossly affected by this debilitating storm. We’re waiting… An updated social media post, email or FAX are all forms of proof that will be accepted. Thaaaaaaaaanks.
