MSW Media. Hello and welcome to the Daily beans for Tuesday, July 1, 2025. Today, as we feared, the Trump administration is building a national citizenship database. Two firefighters are dead after a Coeur d' Alene man set a fire to lure them to the wilderness and then open fire. Two teen girls were shot near the Stonewall Inn after Pride celebrations ended. Senator Thom Tillis shreds the billionaire bailout bill now that he's no longer running for reelection. The Trump administration is suing Los Angeles over sanctuary policies. The Supreme Court punts on the Louisiana redistricting case. Iranians are being arrested by DHS after decades in the United States. And the Department of Justice announces plans to prioritize cases revoking citizenship. I'm your host, Alison Gill. Hey, everybody, it is Tuesday. That's all I can say about that. Dana's out, as we know. She will be back. I do promise she will be back. Thanks for being here with me solo while I do my best to sort through the headlines and bring you the news with appropriate profanity, of course. Something the Supreme Court did last Friday, something else they did last Friday is that they punted the Louisiana redistricting case. And on cleanup on aisle 45 tomorrow, Harry Dunn and I are going to talk to Ari Berman from Mother Jones about why they refused to decide the case and what that could potentially mean. And it's not because they're up to anything good. So tune in for that tomorrow. Also, Votorama is underway in the Senate, and Thom Tillis, now that he's not running again, has appeared to grow a spine. The Guardian reports that Tom Tillis said, quote, it is inescapable this bill will betray the promise Donald Trump made. That's what he said Sunday night, sandblasting the Senate version of the what I call billionaire bailout bill that's meant to codify the president's terrible agenda. Tillis made his speech on the Senate floor Sunday night, a few hours after announcing he would not seek reelection in the politically competitive North Carolina seat. Observers described it as fiery and savage. But Tillis carefully avoided directing criticism of the president as he denounced proposed cuts to Medicaid, a lack of rigor in the legislative process, and the Senate's headlong dive into an artificial deadline, the July 4 deadline. Instead, one of the most forceful Republican denunciations of the bill. Tillis attacked amateurs advising the president who have no insight into how these provider tax cuts are going to be absorbed without harming people on Medicare. Tillis office published an analysis concluding that the Senate budget bill would have a $32 billion impact on the North Carolina health care system and threaten insurance coverage for 663,000 Medicaid expansion beneficiaries in the state. One in 16 North Carolinians will be impacted, he said. What do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off Medicaid because the funding's not there anymore? What do I tell them, guys? That's what Tillis said in the floor speech. It has become increasingly difficult, by the way, for lawmakers in the Republican Party to break ranks with the president without facing withering blowback from conservative media MAGA diehards and Trump himself. On social media, quote, Tillis is a talker and a complainer, not a doer. He's even worse than Rand Fauci Paul. That's what Trump posted on Truth Social after announcing his opposition to the bill. After Thom Tillis did, Trump pledged to back primary challengers to Tillis when Tillis subsequently announced he wouldn't seek reelection. Trump called it good news and threatened primary challenges against other Republican fiscal conservatives standing in the way of the bill's passage. Interesting. So everybody call your senators, tell them to vote no and your House representatives too, because this has to bounce back to the House. Also, Elon Musk has gone on a tirade on his social media platform, basically lambasting the bill. He was doing that before, during the first feud, during the first, you know, divorce. But then he got quiet. It's like he was muzzled. But he's taken that off and now he's going after it again, saying he's going to if this passes the very next day, he's forming a third party. Great. Siphon those votes off Republicans, please, and that he will primary anybody who votes for it. So now we've got dueling billionaires. Interesting. Anyway, please call your senators. We have more news to get to. Let's hit the hot notes. Hot not notes. All right, first up from the Associated Press, a man who set a wildfire and then fatally shot two firefighters and wounded another in northern Idaho was apparently a 20 year old transient who attacked the first responders after they asked him to move his vehicle. That's what a sheriff said Monday. Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris offered new details about the Sunday ambush at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d' Alene. That's a popular recreation area, by the way. He said Wes Rolly was living out of his vehicle and had once aspired to be a firefighter and had only a handful of minor contacts with area police. Quote, we have not been able to find a manifesto, the sheriff said, adding the motive was still unknown. Norris said families, the victims are in shock. Absolutely, they're in shock and they're still processing it. He set the fire using Flint, and the firefighters who rushed to the scene instead found themselves in in an unexpected shootout. They took cover behind the fire trucks, but two of them died and a third was wounded during a barrage of gunfire over several hours. Rowley later killed himself. That's what Sheriff Norris said. Now, if the name Bob Norris in Kootenai county sound familiar, they should. Norris appeared in the video showing Dr. Teresa Baronpole being forcibly removed from a Coeur d' Alene town hall back in April. We covered it extensively here on the beans. Norris was the man who instructed the unmarked Lear security guards to remove Baron Paul and she has since filed a lawsuit against him and the security firm. Lier, by the way, has since lost its license to operate in Cordelane over the event. So do I trust what Bob Norris says, or Kash Patel's FBI for that matter, about this shooter? I don't know, but we'll keep an eye on the story for you. Also from the Gothamist Three teenage girls were injured in a shooting near the Stonewall Inn as New York City's pride celebrations came to a close Sunday. The NYPD said the shooting was not connected to the pride events, but stemmed from a fight between two rival groups. As of Monday, no arrests have been made. Police said shots were fired around 10:15pm on Sheridan Square near an apartment building not far from the historic bar that Police raided in 1969 in an event that sparked the modern LGBTQ rights movement. Bloodstains were seen in front of the building and officers marked a bullet hole on a nearby wall. The victims include two 17 year old girls and a 16 year old girl. The 16 year old was listed in critical condition while the 17 year olds were in stable condition, according to the police. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenney said the incident began when the 16 year old girl spotted a male from a rival group and pointed a 9 millimeter gun inches from his head before firing twice. Quote by some miracle the male is not shot, he said. However, those rounds travel downrange and strike our 17 year old victim in her left thigh. After the first group ran off, an unidentified man turned and fired four shots into the crowd, hitting the 16 year old girl who police said fired first. She drops to the floor and she's abandoned by the group. That's what Kenny said. She's left there by herself. Police said another 17 year old girl from the group was later found in the hospital with a stab wound to the chest and a punctured lung. She was seen on video with the group before the altercation. We'll keep an eye on that for you next from npr. The Trump administration has, for the first time ever, built a searchable national citizenship data system. This tool, which is being rolled out in phases, is designed to be used by state and local election officials to give them an easier way to, quote, ensure only citizens are voting, unquote, also sounds like an easy way to throw votes out. It was developed rapidly without public process, and some of those officials are already worrying about what else it could be used for. NPR is the first news organization to report the details of the new system. For decades, voting officials have noted there was no national citizenship list to compare their state list to. So to verify citizenship for their voters, they either needed to ask people to provide a birth certificate or a passport, something that could disenfranchise millions, or use a complex patchwork of disparate data sources. Now the Department of Homeland Security is offering this way. Dhs, in partnership with the White House's DOGE team, has recently rolled out a series of upgrades to a network of federal databases to allow state and county election officials to quickly check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists against a list developed by the White House and DOGE using data from the Social Security Administration as well as immigration databases. Such integration has never existed before, and experts call it a sea change that inches the US Closer to having a roster of citizens, something the country has never embraced. A centralized national database of Americans. Personal information has long been considered a third rail, especially to privacy advocates as well as political conservatives who have traditionally opposed mass data consolidation by the federal government. Legal experts told NPR they were alarmed that a development of this magnitude was already underway with without a transparent and public process. I am also alarmed, though I am not surprised. Trump has been trying to find ways to throw out votes since he got his ass handed to him in 2020. This might provide a way, NPR says if this new tool is successful, it could provide local and state governments a powerful method to check citizenship of almost all Americans without additional documentation requirements, and there are certain to be errors. Also from npr, the Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship. Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes and giving US Attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic. That's according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at U.S. citizens who are not born in the country. That's according to data from 2023 close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens. At least one person's already been denaturalized in recent weeks. On June 13, a judge ordered the revocation of the citizenship of Elliot Duke, who uses they them pronouns. Duke is an American military veteran originally from the UK who was convicted for distributing child sexual abuse material, something they later admitted they were doing prior to becoming a US Citizen. Denaturalization is a tactic that was heavily used during the McCarthy era of the late 40s and early 50s, and one that went was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during Trump's first term. It's meant to strip citizenship from those who may have lied about their criminal convictions or membership in illegal groups like the Nazi Party or communists during McCarthyism or their citizenship applications. Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate wrote in the memo that pursuing denaturalization will be among the agency's top five enforcement priorities for for the Civil Division of the Department of Justice. Quote, the Civil Division shall prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence, he said. The DOJ memo says the federal government will pursue denaturalization cases via civil litigation, an especially concerning move. That's according to Cassandra Robertson, a law professor at Case Western. In civil proceedings, any individual subject to denaturalization is not entitled to to an attorney, Robertson said there is also a lower burden of proof for the government and it's far easier and faster to reach a conclusion in these cases. Robertson said that stripping Americans of citizenship through civil litigation violates due process and infringes on the rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. As for the due process concerns, Von Spakovsky said, quote, nothing prevents the alien from hiring their own lawyer. They are not entitled to have the government and thus the American taxpayer pay for their lawyer. That is not due process violation since all immigration proceedings are civil matters and no individuals, including American citizens are entitled to government furnished lawyers in any type of civil matter, he said. According to this new memo, DOJ is expanding its criteria of which crimes put individuals at risk of losing their citizenship. That includes national security violations, which as we know, I mean if you think of Ms. Oz Turk, Marco Rubio could could just decide you're a national security risk or committing acts of fraud against individuals or against the Government like the paycheck protection program fraud or Medicaid or Medicare fraud. So can we denaturalize Rick Scott then, quote, to see that this administration is plotting out how they're going to expand its use in ways that we have not seen before is very shocking and very concerning. That's Samira Hafiz, policy director for the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a national advocacy organization providing legal training in immigration law. Quote, it's kind of in a way trying to create a second class of US Citizen where one set of Americans is safe and those not born in the country are still at risk of losing their hard fought citizenship. Other immigration experts point to another part of the guidance which gives US Attorneys broader discretion to determine other eligible denaturalization cases. Cases, quote, these categories do not limit the civil division from pursuing any particular case, the memo states. And priorities for denaturalization can include, quote, any other cases referred to the civil Division that the division determines to be sufficiently important to pursue. Now, in my opinion, that leaves the door wide open to denaturalize pretty much anyone at the whim of the government however they see fit. Now, in a related story from the Associated Press, Donna Kashanian. I hope I'm saying that right. Lived in the United States for 47 years, married a US citizen and raised their daughter. She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE officers handcuffed her and took her away. Kashanian arrived in 1978 on a student visa and applied for asylum. Fearing retaliation for her father's support of the U. S backed shah. She lost her bid, but she was allowed to remain with her husband and child if she checked in regularly with immigration officials. Her husband and daughter said that she complied once checking in from South Carolina during Hurricane Katrina. She's now being held at an immigration detention center in Basile, Louisiana, while her family tries to get information. This is 47 years she was here. Other Iranians are also getting arrested by immigration authorities after decades in the United States. DHS won't say how many people they've arrested, but US Military strikes on Iran have fueled fears that there's more to come. Quote, some level of vigilance, of course makes sense, but what it seems like ICE has done is basically give out an order to round up as many Iranians as you can, whether or not they're linked to any threat, and then arrest them and deport them, which is very concerning. That's Ryan Costello, policy director at the National Iranian American Council, an advocacy group. So we'll be keeping our eyes on this story as well. This next story is from Politico. The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles over its immigration policies. That's according to the DOJ announcement on Monday, claiming sanctuary policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities clash with federal law. I think that forcing local authorities to do your immigration bullshit is actually clashing with federal law and the Constitution. The filing marks an escalation in the Trump administration's feuding with California over immigration and the latest strike by DOJ against sanctuary city laws in various states. The filing, which names the city mayor Karen Bass and the City Council, follows a wave of protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids targeting farms and businesses. It comes as the Trump administration is locked in separate litigation with Gavin Newsom, who sued the administration to block the deployment of the National Guard in the city in the response to what the government said was an upheaval. The latest lawsuit argues the city's refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities has led to lawless rioting, looting, and vandalism. It's all made up. Los Angeles had lifted a curfew placed in response to the protests after a week as protesting died down. The filing also said the city's policies are, quote, designed to, and, in fact, do interfere with and discriminate against the federal government's enforcement. Discriminates against the government. Okay. I don't think you. You can discriminate against the government. By the way, immigration law in violation of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. Yeah, well, there's also the commandeering clause. But this is an argument that the Trump administration has long used in its attack on sanctuary city laws. The new suit was assigned to U.S. district Court Judge Fernando Oguin. That's an Obama appointee. And we'll keep you posted on that. All right, everybody, it's time for some good trouble. Hey, wanna get into trouble? Yes. All right, y' all, it's time for some good trouble. Your good trouble today is to just please call your representatives and your senators, tell them to vote no on the big ugly, the billionaire bailout bill that we're all gonna die anyway bill if you're in Iowa.

After getting that amendment in there for Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, and Mike Lee, that guts a part of the Affordable Care Act. 16 million people. That's just the health care part I'm having. Talking about the SNAP or the, you know, the other cuts to Medicare, all the other terrible things. In this bill. Please, please call, just take a few minutes and and that's all to give an almost unnoticeable to them tax break to the richest Americans. So yes, please take a few minutes.
