The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed that virtually all babies born in the United States are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status. The ruling — the last one of the court's term — invalidates an executive order President Trump signed on the first day of his second term in office. We discuss whether this closes the book on Trump's effort to reverse this long-held principle, plus Supreme Court rulings related to transgender athletes and campaign finance laws.

This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, Supreme Court and justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

Congress overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan bill aimed at lowering the cost of buying a home, and President Trump was set to sign it Wednesday. But then Trump announced he won't sign the bill until Congress passes a strict voter ID law. We discuss what to make of Trump's apparent reversal and how it affects Republicans' efforts at retaining control of Congress this November.
