Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

SCOTUS to Hear Arguments in Trump’s Attempt to End Birthright Citizenship

HeadlineApr 18, 2025

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear oral arguments over President Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, as the measure remains on hold. The hearing is scheduled for May 15, with a decision likely to be issued later in the summer. Several federal lower court judges have blocked the order, saying it violates the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Trump signed the executive order on his first day back in office.
