  76. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, the New York Young Republican Club has urged the Trump administration to revoke his citizenship and deport him under the Communist Control Act of 1954 (CCA) . However, legal analysis indicates this strategy lacks foundation: the CCA was declared unconstitutional by a federal court in 1973 and contains no provisions for citizenship revocation . Denaturalization would require proof of fraud during Mamdani’s 2018 citizenship process, which has not been alleged .</p>
  77. <p>The Communist Control Act of 1954 (CCA) remains a legally active statute, though its enforcement has been minimal and its constitutionality widely challenged. Below is a detailed analysis of its provisions, historical applications, and implications for citizenship and political expression, based on available legal records and scholarly sources.</p>
  78. <h3 id="key-provisions-of-the-communist-control-act">Key Provisions of the Communist Control Act</h3>
  79. <ul>
  80. <li>The CCA explicitly outlawed the Communist Party USA and criminalized membership in or support for &#8220;Communist-action organizations,&#8221; stripping the party of legal rights (e.g., holding bank accounts, entering contracts, or appearing on ballots)[1][2][3].</li>
  81. <li>It defined evidence standards for juries to determine participation in such organizations, including involvement in their &#8220;activities, planning, actions, objectives, or purposes&#8221;[1][3].</li>
  82. </ul>
  83. <h3 id="historical-enforcement-and-legal-challenges">Historical Enforcement and Legal Challenges</h3>
  84. <ul>
  85. <li><strong>Constitutionality</strong>:
  86. <ul>
  87. <li>A 1973 federal district court ruling in Arizona declared the CCA unconstitutional, citing violations of the First and Fifth Amendments[4][5]. However, the Supreme Court never reviewed this decision.</li>
  88. <li>Earlier cases like <em>Aptheker v. Secretary of State</em> (1964) undermined related laws by invalidating passport denials for Communist Party members under the Fifth Amendment&#8217;s Due Process Clause[11].</li>
  89. </ul>
  90. </li>
  91. <li><strong>Limited Use</strong>:
  92. <ul>
  93. <li>The CCA has not been used for prosecutions in decades[6][2]. Its sister laws, such as the Internal Security Act of 1950, faced similar judicial skepticism[4][7].</li>
  94. <li>Labor-focused clauses (e.g., allowing &#8220;Communist-infiltrated&#8221; unions to reorganize) were rarely invoked, and most provisions were repealed by the 1980s[2].</li>
  95. </ul>
  96. </li>
  97. </ul>
  98. <h3 id="impact-on-citizenship-and-naturalization">Impact on Citizenship and Naturalization</h3>
  99. <ul>
  100. <li><strong>Naturalized Citizens</strong>:
  101. <ul>
  102. <li>The CCA interacts with immigration statutes like the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952, which permits exclusion or deportation of noncitizens affiliated with totalitarian parties[7][9].</li>
  103. <li>Naturalized citizens risk denaturalization if they concealed Communist Party ties during their application process. This requires proof of intentional fraud (e.g., omitting membership) and typically must occur within five years of naturalization[7][9].</li>
  104. <li><strong>No recorded cases</strong> exist of the CCA directly stripping citizenship. Denaturalization relies on preexisting immigration laws, not the CCA itself[9].</li>
  105. </ul>
  106. </li>
  107. <li><strong>Birthright Citizens</strong>:
  108. <ul>
  109. <li>U.S.-born citizens cannot lose citizenship for Communist affiliations, as revocation applies only to naturalized individuals obtained through fraud[9].</li>
  110. </ul>
  111. </li>
  112. </ul>
  113. <h3 id="modern-relevance-and-political-implications">Modern Relevance and Political Implications</h3>
  114. <ul>
  115. <li><strong>Current Status</strong>:
  116. <ul>
  117. <li>The CCA remains unrepealed but is considered a &#8220;dead letter&#8221; due to constitutional concerns and non-enforcement[4][6][5].</li>
  118. <li>State-level analogues (e.g., in California and Washington) persist but face similar legal challenges[4].</li>
  119. </ul>
  120. </li>
  121. <li><strong>Dissent and Lawfare Risks</strong>:
  122. <ul>
  123. <li>While the CCA theoretically allows targeting Communists, practical barriers include:
  124. <ul>
  125. <li>First Amendment protections for political beliefs (<em>Schneiderman v. United States</em>, 1943)[10].</li>
  126. <li>High evidentiary thresholds for proving &#8220;knowing&#8221; membership or subversive intent[1][7].</li>
  127. </ul>
  128. </li>
  129. <li>Hypothetical use against a naturalized citizen (e.g., for post-2018 political activity) would require:
  130. <ol>
  131. <li>Evidence of undisclosed pre-naturalization Party involvement.</li>
  132. <li>Prosecution within the INA&#8217;s five-year window[9].</li>
  133. </ol>
  134. </li>
  135. </ul>
  136. </li>
  137. </ul>
  138. <h3 id="conclusion"></h3>
  139. <p>The Communist Control Act of 1954 symbolically reflects Cold War-era suppression but lacks operational force today. Its citizenship-stripping potential hinges on broader immigration statutes, not the CCA alone, and would face formidable constitutional hurdles. While the act remains codified, its enforcement would likely be blocked by courts as a violation of free speech and due process rights[4][10][9].</p>

  176. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Billionaire Mark Cuban&#8217;s Refusal of Vetting Papers from Kamala Harris Campaign.</h2>
  177. <p>Cuban said the presidential campaign team for <em>Kamala Harris</em> had asked him to submit vetting papers for the vice presidency, which he declined. In a video clip published on Thursday, Cuban was asked by political commentator Tim Miller if the former Dallas Mavericks owner indeed received such an invitation; and whether these rumors were true or false:</p>
  178. <p>Cuban affirmed that yes, his name had been floated for consideration in Harris&#8217; inner circle. &#8220;I am not very good as a number two person,&#8221; he said during the interview when asked about potential reasons why this wasn’t pursued further with him by <em>Kamala Harris</em> team:</p>
  179. <ul>
  180. <li>I need to be able, on my own or alongside Kamala; and at times without her. We have different personalities that sometimes get in each other&#8217;s way instead of helping the bigger goal—making America great again! Plus…I’m not really good at shaking hands and kissing babies&#8230;<em>strong emphasis</em>.</li>
  181. </ul>
  182. <p>Harris campaign would likely appear &#8220;different&#8221; had <em>Mark Cuban</em>&#8221; been chosen as vice presidential pick, a former Dallas Mavericks owner known for his directness in tackling societal problems; contrasted with Tim Walz. Mark said he felt more inclined to join the Harris ticket because of her progressive approach toward issues such as racial justice and LGBTQ+ rights:</p>
  183. <ul>
  184. <li>
  185. <p>My backgrounds are completely different from their pick, which is likely why I cut through political <em>shit</em> a bit more directly; this being said — but still supporting Kamala&#8217;s candidacy since she aligns better with my belief in the importance of diversity within politics. She could have appointed me to lead entities such as FTC or SEC if elected:</p>
  186. </li>
  187. <li>
  188. <p>This would be something I <em>could</em> do to make a difference while bringing entrepreneurial spirit into federal agencies; however, he expressed reluctance towards Cabinet positions and preferred his role within the private sector. He did not shy away from endorsing Harris&#8217; bid for presidency in 2024:</p>
  189. </li>
  190. <li>
  191. <p>Mark appeared at several events on her behs as a supporter but maintained that it would have been disastrous had he accepted such an offer, considering potential conflicts of interest and his lack of experience with government affairs. Former President Joe Biden dropped out post nomination; Cuban was among the first to show support for Harris:</p>
  192. </li>
  193. <li>
  194. <p>Suggested <em>Kamala</em> could appoint him as a leader in federal entities like FTC or SEC during that period, showing keen interest but ultimately declining such an offer due to his entrepreneurial spirit and preference not joining Cabinet roles. He remains firm on backing her campaign against former President Biden while maintaining the integrity of business affairs:</p>
  195. </li>
  196. <li>
  197. <p>Mark Cuban is a staunch supporter for <em>Kamala Harris</em>, endorsing both personally &amp; professionally despite initial vetting invitation decline, emphasizing differences in experiences and backgrounds but acknowledging common goals. His refusal to join Cabinet roles remains consistent with his entrepreneurial career focus:</p>
  198. </li>
  199. <li>
  200. <p>The narrative underscores Cuban&#8217;s commitment to supporting <em>Kamala Harris</em> through her presidential bid while aligning himself closely with business values rather than traditional government positions, a decision that reflects both personal preferences and professional experiences. This stance presents an interesting dynamic within the Republican party’s support network as he navigates his role in politics without compromising on his identity:</p>
  201. </li>
  202. <li>
  203. <p>Despite not pursuing Cabinet roles or federal leadership appointments himself, Mark Cuban remains involved by attending events across swing states — a testament to both personal conviction and commitment towards promoting <em>Kamala Harris</em>&#8216; candidacy. His refusal of the vice presidential offer while endorsing her campaign signals his unique position within political support circles:</p>
  204. </li>
  205. <li>
  206. <p>The story illustrates how Mark Cuban, despite initial invitations for vetting related to a VP role in Kamala Harris’s administration, declined based on personal assessments and professional priorities. His public stance against joining Cabinet roles while supporting her candidacy adds nuanced understanding of his political engagement beyond conventional expectations within the party:</p>
  207. </li>
  208. <li>
  209. <p>Mark Cuban&#8217;s refusal to join a potential VP nomination for <em>Kamala Harris</em> highlights personal, career and ideological considerations that inform such decisions among public figures. While he declined formal roles in government structures due to his strengths as an entrepreneur rather than politician:</p>
  210. </li>
  211. <li>
  212. <p>Mark Cuban&#8217;s decision not to pursue a vice presidential nomination within <em>Kamala Harris</em>’ campaign, despite initial rumors and invitations towards the end of 2024. His stance raises questions about how potential candidates navigate political offers in light of their career background as an entrepreneur:</p>
  213. </li>
