  • Generally speaking if the Constitution doesn't say you have a power and explicitly does say somebody else does it means that you don't.

    Though there are centuries of interpretations, laws, and norms that fill in the gaps that can make it more nuanced. It's difficult to take a straight reading of the text and apply it to an event.

  • it didn’t surrender anything

    It absolutely has. The he executive has literally no authority to impose tariffs - that's Congress' job. The executive has no authority to not spend money that Congress has appropriated - yet he is

    These are easily blockable by Congress and should be in articles of impeachment.

    Additionally Congress gave the president the ability to gain "temporary powers" during an "emergency" - and guess who gets to declare what constitutes an emergency? The president. And SCOTUS has blocked Congress from even being able to take it away without the president having a veto.

  • New Zealand financial trader and amateur soccer player Dylan Stansfield was also photographed at the event. When reached for comment, Stansfield said he was “infuriated to have been identified” and that “‘doxxing’ crypto people put their lives at risk.”

    Fucking rich entitled assholes.

  • Last year, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to criminal fraud in a settlement to avoid trials, but the agreement was rejected by a federal judge who cited concerns that race-based considerations under Biden -era DEI policies would be used in selecting an independent monitor in charge of overseeing Boeing's compliance.

    Umm... What?

  • Congress has long ago decided to stop being a coequal branch of government. Same now with SCOTUS.. They've ceded so much authority to the executive that they almost can't fight back now. Impeachment is the only option left and Republicans won't/can't. Our remaining hope is that Democrats will/can in 2 years. AND that significant reforms follow that will limit the president again.

    Otherwise, we've become Turkey. A representative republic in name only.

  • Microsoft President Brad Smith said on Thursday that the FTC's decision to drop the case was "a victory for players across the country and for common sense in Washington, D.C."

    He forgot to praise Trump's leadership and wisdom.

  • The problem is that you really only see two sorts of articles.

    AI is going to replace developers in 5 years!

    AI sucks because it makes mistakes!

    I actually see a lot more of the latter response on social media to the point where I'm developing a visceral response to the phrase "AI slop".

    Both stances are patently ridiculous though. AI cannot replace developers and it doesn't need to be perfect to be useful. It turns out that it is a remarkably useful tool if you understand its limitations and use it in a reasonable way.
