USA TODAY is reporting that President Donald Trump is making a renewed effort to restrict birthright citizenship. The newspaper said Trump announced executive orders aimed at limiting who qualifies for automatic citizenship and cracking down on "birth tourism." This new push is described as more narrowly tailored than his previous attempt, which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional, and would impact fewer individuals.
Separately, a GOP-led Senate panel has voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in contempt. USA TODAY said Democrats characterized this action as an "immensely historic step" that could undermine congressional oversight powers.
In other political news, USA TODAY reported that Sen. Marsha Blackburn secured the Republican nomination for Tennessee governor. Additionally, Sen. Mitch McConnell released a health update nearly two months after being hospitalized, stating he would continue his recovery at home. The newspaper also noted that the first mRNA flu vaccine will soon be available at pharmacies.
