What Happened? |
The United States Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born in the United States if their parents were in the country unlawfully or were only temporary visitors. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented. |
The ruling reaffirmed the long-standing interpretation of the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States. The Court also relied on more than a century of legal precedent, including the landmark 1898 case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which established that nearly all children born on U.S. soil are entitled to citizenship regardless of their parents’ immigration status. |
Why it Matters |
The Supreme Court ruling confirmed that a president cannot change the Constitution or federal law through an executive order. Instead, the justices held that any change to the constitutional definition of citizenship would require a constitutional amendment. Because the executive order conflicted with both the Fourteenth Amendment and existing federal law, it was declared invalid. The six-justice majority emphasized that citizenship is a fundamental constitutional right that cannot be withdrawn by executive action or by an act of Congress… |

While Everyone Watched Oil, Lithium Quietly Doubled. |
|
|
2026 has been the year of the energy shock. But while the world fixated on oil, another strategic resource staged one of the sharpest rallies in commodities: lithium. |
Battery grade lithium carbonate has roughly doubled over the past year, to around $20,000 a ton, near three year highs, as supply tightened and demand from EVs, grid storage, and AI data centers surged. Morgan Stanley now forecasts a global lithium deficit in 2026. |
EnergyX is positioned right in the middle of it. Its Project Lonestar™ demonstration plant in Texas is now producing battery grade lithium, one of the largest direct lithium extraction facilities in the United States. At full commercial scale, the company projects up to 50,000 tons a year and roughly $1 billion in annual revenue at current market prices.* |
Backed by GM, POSCO, Eni, and the DOE. 50,000+ investors. $180M+ raised. Shares are $13 before the July 16 deadline. |

Birthright citizenship has been a cornerstone of American constitutional law since the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868. The amendment was originally enacted after the Civil War to ensure that formerly enslaved people and their descendants would be recognized as full citizens. Over time, its protections have been interpreted to apply broadly to nearly everyone born within the United States, with only narrow exceptions such as the children of foreign diplomats. |
Prior to the U.S. Civil War, denial of citizenship served as a core basis for slavery, because without citizenship, slaves could be treated in ways that would have been illegal and unthinkable for citizens. Putting conditions on citizenship would have opened the U.S. up to future bouts of slavery or disenfranchisement, so the 14th Amendment was worded broadly to prevent that from happening. |
There will likely be political consequences for the 2026 midterm elections. Immigration has remained one of the country’s most debated issues, and both major political parties are expected to use the decision to energize their supporters. Many Democrats are likely to portray the ruling as a victory for the Constitution, civil rights, and the rule of law. Republicans who supported the executive order may argue that the Court preserved a policy they believe encourages illegal immigration. |
How it Affects You |
The Supreme Court’s 2026 decision is significant because it reaffirmed a constitutional principle that has shaped American citizenship for more than 150 years. While the ruling resolved the legal challenge to the executive order, it also ensured that birthright citizenship will remain a central issue in national political debate. Whether it motivates higher voter turnout, influences campaign messaging, or shifts public opinion on immigration, the decision is likely to play an important role in shaping the issues and priorities of the 2026 midterm elections. |
