22 States are challenging Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, this order would apply to children born after its in effect, but there is a concern it would be used to target immigrants other than babies.

"Trump's order directed federal agencies -- starting next month -- to stop issuing citizenship documents to U.S.-born children of undocumented mothers or mothers in the country on temporary visas, if the father is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident."

"'They will all be deportable, and many will be stateless,' the lawsuit stated."

"'The President has no authority to rewrite or nullify a constitutional amendment or duly enacted statute. Nor is he empowered by any other source of law to limit who receives United States citizenship at birth,' the lawsuit said."

"'That one of Donald Trump's first day in office as president should be so diametrically opposed to our values as Americans is incredibly disappointing, though not surprising. The children born in the U.S. to immigrants are entitled to the rights and privileges that go along with U.S. citizenship,' Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said. 'We need to discuss bipartisan commonsense immigration reforms, but denying birthright citizenship, which dates back centuries and has been upheld twice by the U.S. Supreme Court, is not the solution. As Attorney General, and as the proud son of Haitian immigrants, I will continue to stand with my fellow attorneys general to defend the constitutional rights of all children born in this country.'"

"The states warned the executive order would also cause them to lose federal funding for programs that render services to children regardless of their immigration status."

...for the order to happen, the Constitution itself would have to change.

"'The Constitution requires two thirds of both houses of Congress and three quarters of the state legislatures to amend it,' Redish said. 'If you're going to ignore section one of the 14th Amendment, all bets are off. Presumably, he could take our citizenship away, yours, mine, the person next-door.'"

States filing lawsuits as follows; Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Arizona, Oregon, Washington Illinois, New jersey, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.

The executive order is set to go into effect on Feb. 19.

The executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship will apply to any children born after the order takes effect. But it has many in the Chicago area concerned that if this is possible, the Trump administration could take it beyond newborns.

Mr and Mrs Mason of the Canvasback variety, made in Detroit, Michigan late 1890s early 1900s. Wisconsin hunters, especially in the Winnebago area copied this Mason model extensively as they were easy to see on big water. The “high neck, Wisconsin Canvasback” used to be found by the gunny sack load in old boathouses all over east central Wisconsin. From the late 60s through the 90s, those interested in sporting/hunting art, pickers, antique dealers and folk art collectors participated in a rush to locate old decoys especially by known carvers and companies (such as Mason). These decoys were initially bartered at shows, traded amongst each other, and sold outright. By the time Ebay arrived on the scene, the heyday of finding these old treasures were largely over. Online markets served as a means to disperse the others which occasionally surface. Currently, auction houses are selling the collections of many of the original enthusiasts as time moves on.

J.P. SHARES NEW "LOVE BONE" MUSIC VIDEO 

Following his viral On the Radar performance of "Love Bone", 20-year-old Milwaukee tastemaker J.P. has shared the track's music video — out now. The visual arrives on the heels of the rapper's Song of the Summercontender “Bad Bitty” (60M Streams), as well as the track's recently-released NLE Choppa-assisted remix (2.5M streams), and follows his new album Coming Out Party. The LP marked J.P.'s first full-length offering of 2024 and was praised by the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and The FADER. 

Recent months have seen the artist garner acclaim with a string of popular singles, including 2023’s Dora the Explorer-sampling “Get Down”, “She Took”, and “PARTY MIX”, which samples Billie Eilish’s 2018 track “when the party’s over”. Known for his lovable, carefree personality as much as for his danceable sing-raps, J.P. is carving out his own niche as a must-watch artist coming out of the Midwest — all while juggling a student-athlete career as a music major and basketball player at The University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point.

Hailing from Milwaukee, J.P. was raised by his mother, grandmother, and uncles and has a background in vocal jazz performance, taking inspiration from old-school R&B artists (Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Al Green, and Luther Vandross), classic pop singers (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jackie Wilson, and Ella Fitzgerald), musicals (The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz), and the Ethiopian dance Eskista as much as he does his hometown rap scene. Equipped with a unique arsenal of deep-cut influences, J.P. is adding his own distinct flavor to his city’s club-ready movement — and helping to put Milwaukee on the map in the process.
