Trump’s Citizenship Showdown

The Supreme Court will rule on Trump’s executive order ending automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. The order requires at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

Lower courts blocked the order, citing the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which traditionally grants citizenship to nearly all U.S.-born children.

Trump’s administration cites Elk v. Wilkins (1884), but legal experts favor Wong Kim Ark (1898), which upheld broad birthright citizenship. Justices are divided, with some expressing concerns and others supporting established citizenship rights.

A decision is expected by June 2026, potentially reshaping immigration law and citizenship policies.

Boots on the Ground

The Middle East conflict entered its fifth week as Israel struck Tehran and Houthis, for the first time, launched missile and drone attacks on Israel from Yemen. Saudi Arabia intercepted nearly a dozen drones.

The U.S. deployed 3,500 more troops, preparing for possible limited ground operations in Iran, pending presidential approval. Iranian forces targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, wounding 15 troops at Prince Sultan Air Base.

President Trump is considering a military operation to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium from Iran, requiring elite special forces to secure and transport uranium stored at Isfahan and Natanz.

The mission could last several days to a week, facing threats from Iranian missiles and drones. Iran holds over 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium and about 200 kg of 20% fissile material.

Epstein BofA Settlement

Bank of America agreed to pay $72.5 million to settle claims from at least 60 Jeffrey Epstein survivors alleging the bank aided Epstein’s sex-trafficking network from 2008 to 2019.

The bank denies wrongdoing; a judge will decide on settlement approval in April. The lawsuit alleges Bank of America ignored suspicious transactions, including $170 million linked to former Apollo CEO Leon Black, who paid Epstein $158 million and resigned in 2021.

JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank settled similar claims for $290 million and $75 million, respectively.

Lawyers may receive about 30% of the settlement. Epstein died in jail in 2019 awaiting trial, ruled a suicide.

Yield Shock

The war with Iran and the Hormuz blockade caused Treasury bonds to suffer their worst selloff since April. Oil prices surged, driving stocks to their lowest since August as inflation fears elevated Treasury yields.

The 10-year yield rose from about 4% to 4.44%, and the 2-year from 3.38% to 3.92%, raising borrowing costs and pushing 30-year mortgage rates to 6.38%. The iShares Core 60/40 ETF lost 6.3% since late February.

Hedge funds sold bonds to cover losses, and expectations for Fed rate cuts faded amid inflation concerns.

The Fed maintains high rates despite slowed growth. European bond yields also climbed as central banks prioritize inflation control. Market volatility will hinge on war developments.

Heart Heal Vaccine

Columbia researchers developed an RNA-lipid nanoparticle therapy injected into arm muscle that prompts cells to produce pro-ANP, a precursor hormone activated in the heart.

Active ANP stimulates blood vessel growth, reduces inflammation, and limits scarring after heart attacks. In animal studies, a single dose reduced scar tissue and improved heart function for at least four weeks, effective even when administered a week post-attack.

The therapy mimics healing seen in newborn mice and avoids invasive delivery methods by requiring only an arm injection.

Columbia plans phase-one human safety trials. The approach could also benefit kidney disease and high blood pressure if successful in humans.

Nanotube 6G

Researchers developed an ultrathin carbon nanotube coating (2–53 nm) that absorbs nearly all terahertz radiation, essential for 6G networks.

Produced via aerosol chemical vapor deposition, it enhances waveguide insulation by blocking electromagnetic interference, stabilizing signals in photonic circuits.

The coating integrates easily into high-speed 6G devices and can shield rooms from electromagnetic waves, with potential applications in prisons and safer terahertz-based medical imaging.

This film could improve 6G communication reliability and enable advanced electromagnetic shielding and medical uses. The findings were published in Nature Communications on December 2, 2025.
