WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he is considering “taking away” the U.S. citizenship of a longtime rival, actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, despite a decades-old Supreme Court ruling that expressly prohibits such an action by the government.

“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday. He added that O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland in January, should stay in Ireland “if they want her.”

The two have criticized each other publicly for years, an often bitter back-and-forth that predates Trump’s involvement in politics. In recent days, O’Donnell on social media denounced Trump and recent moves by his administration, including the signing of a massive GOP-backed tax breaks and spending cuts plan.

It’s just the latest threat by Trump to revoke the citizenship of people with whom he has publicly disagreed, most recently his former adviser and one-time ally, Elon Musk.

But O’Donnell’s situation is notably different from Musk, who was born in South Africa. O’Donnell was born in the United States and has a constitutional right to U.S. citizenship. The U.S. State Department notes on its website that U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization may relinquish U.S. nationality by taking certain steps – but only if the act is performed voluntary and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship.

Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, noted the Supreme Court ruled in a 1967 case that the Fourteen Amendment of the Constitution prevents the government from taking away citizenship.

“The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born U.S. citizen,” Frost said in an email Saturday. “In short, we are nation founded on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot choose the people.”

O’Donnell moved to Ireland after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to win his second term. She has said she’s in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship based on family lineage.

Responding to Trump Saturday, O’Donnell wrote on social media that she had upset the president and “add me to the list of people who oppose him at every turn.”

After a successful launch last summer, the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival has grown for its sophomore year. The festival, at St. Paul’s Harriet Island Regional Park, has expanded from two to three days and will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Headlined by Hozier, Fall Out Boy and Green Day, the festival (which despite its name has nothing to do with yacht rock) is promoted by C3 Presents, an Austin, Texas, company that’s also behind Austin City Limits Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the modern-day Lollapalooza. C3 was the largest independent promoter in the world until Live Nation bought a controlling stake in the company in 2014.

Organizers expect to attract more than 30,000 concertgoers each day.

Here’s what folks headed to the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival need to know:

Tickets

As of Wednesday afternoon, tickets were still available at a number of price points, starting at $150 for one-day general admission and going all the way up to three-day platinum tickets for $2,300, which includes a number of perks including free food and drinks, front-of-stage viewing and access to air-conditioned restrooms. See minnesotayachtclubfestival.com for details.

Many of the three-day ticket packages are sold out, but each has a waitlist where fans can register. There are also verified resale tickets available through the festival’s website.

Getting there

There are two entrances to the festival. The main entrance is at Harriet Island Boulevard and South Wabasha Street, while the west entrance is on West Water Street between Bidwell Street and Plato Boulevard.

There is no on-site parking at the festival, but its website lists numerous downtown St. Paul parking lots that are a 10- to 16-minute walk from the site. Several Metro Transit buses stop a half-mile from Harriet Island. The rideshare drop off is at 119 Livingston Ave. S. The festival promises “ample bike parking” located near the two entrances.

The Green Line’s St. Paul stations — from Raymond Avenue to Union Depot — are scheduled to be offline for maintenance during the festival. Green Line replacement buses will operate on a similar schedule as trains.

Getting in

Concertgoers must wear securely fastened wristbands, which will be rendered void if tampered with or removed. Wristbands that are damaged, lost or stolen can be replaced by the original purchaser one time only for $20. Patrons can leave and re-enter at will up until 7 p.m. each day.

There are guest services booths near each entrance with a lost and found. Free hydration stations are located throughout the site. Lockers are available to rent for $25 each day or $65 for all three days.

What is allowed on site

Feel free to bring: Small clutch purses and fanny packs (6″ x 9″ or smaller) with no more than one pocket; all other bags must be clear and smaller than 12″ x 6″ x 12″; empty hydration packs and reusable water bottles; strollers; frisbees; binoculars; blankets; basic cameras (no detachable lenses or other accessories); sunscreen in non-aerosol containers (3.4 ounces or less); portable battery packs; personal-sized misting fans and hand sanitizer; prescription medicine in the pharmacy-labeled container that states the prescription, dosage and patient name; over the counter medications; and factory sealed Naloxone/Narcan kits.

When it was all over, and the Twins’ All-Star Game-bound ace righty had bested Pittsburgh’s All-Star Game-bound ace righty in Friday night’s classic pitchers’ duel, Minnesota starter Joe Ryan could joke about his heavy early workload.

Ryan escaped the first inning of an eventual 2-1 win without allowing a run, but only after the Pirates loaded the bases with two outs, and the Twins’ starter needed 34 pitches to get back to the dugout. He joked after the game that 34 pitches is fine for the first three innings, but a bit much for the first inning alone.

It became a rousing story, with the season’s first sellout crowd at Target Field seeing Ryan’s last appearance before he is part of the American League roster at Tuesday’s midseason festivities in Atlanta. But Twins manager Rocco Baldelli admitted a day later that he almost brought an early end to Ryan’s evening, as his pitch count reached the 30s.

“I think he was very happy with the way he went out there and competed. The way he got through that first inning, made it work. Got the outs when he needed to. That took a lot,” Baldelli said prior to Saturday’s rematch versus Pittsburgh. “That outing could’ve ended in about five more pitches. And instead of going five (innings), you end up going 2/3. It takes a toughness to get through those types of situations. And Joe continually finds ways to get big outs and get through games. So that’s where it kind of started for him, and then he settled in and threw great. That’s not surprising, to see him have a really good outing.”

Having watched many, many pitchers, both as a player and as a manager, Baldelli said he was prepared to make a change if Ryan would have approached the 40-pitch mark in Friday’s first inning.

“No one’s fine after throwing 40 pitches in an inning. Nobody’s fine. We can say they’re fine, but they’re not fine. The players might say they’re fine, but they’re not fine,” he said. “So that’s a lot of work. That’s two and a half innings worth of work in a really compressed time frame. So all that said, he wasn’t going to throw too much longer. He might have had one more hitter in him, and that would have certainly been it for Joe. And that’s just probably just too many pitches, we’re just calling it what it is.”

Instead, Ryan’s 34th pitch coaxed a pop-up out of Pirates infielder Ke’Bryan Hayes, and he needed 52 more pitches to get through the next four innings. Improving to 9-4 on the season, Ryan allowed five hits and struck out five.

With the head-to-head matchup versus Pirates righty Paul Skenes, who will start the All-Star Game for the National League, Ryan said the key was escaping that rocky first inning without a Pittsburgh player reaching home plate.

“You know there’s not going to be a ton of runs scoring that day. So you just want to minimize as much as you can and I think we did a very good job of that early,” Ryan said. “And then the bullpen locked it and did an outstanding job, so that was great to just hold it and get a team win.”

Matthews headed east

The team announced prior to Saturday’s game that Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews will report to the St. Paul Saints to begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.

Matthews has been on the team’s injured list since early June with a strained right shoulder. He has a 1-1 record this season as a starter but has been unavailable for the past 33 games.

His last win came on June 4 in a 6-1 victory over the Athletics in Sacramento.
