Importers in the US are not simply going to take the hit from their profits when they pay the tariffs to the US Gov. They will correspondingly increase their prices to mitigate the loss. Thus money is not "pouring into" the country. It's "pouring out-of" the pockets of American consumers.

The Judge clearly had the law on his side. The Alien Enemies act requires a formal declaration of war. A formal declaration of war requires congressional approval. Trump can't just say, "we're at war with Tren de Aguela" and call it good.

Evidently the Federal Judge didn't put the "turn the planes around immediately" language in the written ruling. He said it verbally. Of course Trump ignored the verbal part. Future rulings will likely be more careful.

Her position regarding Palestine and Israel cost her the election. Many Dems could not vote for her, so they didn't vote.

I would think that a system could be built to detect and stop AI scraping on a website. Bluesky saying "everybody already does it" is hardly a satisfactory response to users wanting privacy. Especially after many of us went to Bluesky specificaly because they said they would not allow our content to be used in AI.

Hard to know what to believe. Without bodycams, I would easily think that the police planted the knife and came up with the story after shooting her and the baby. With no prosecution, there will be no court case to determine if the story is legit.

I would love to see much closer relations between Canada and the EU, perhaps even a mutual defense agreement.

I'm never gonna vote for Gavin Newsom again (He's my Calif Gov). Looks like he's one of those democrats whose ambition is bigger than their integrity, so he wants to join the whole "let's be fascist" thing.

A District of Columbia Federal Judge halted the order just hours after Trump declared it.

A formal declaration of war requires congressional approval, as outlined in Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution.

This kind of weakness is quite typical of Schumer. Always has been.

The Dem leadership just wants plausible deniability that they didn't "cause the government shutdown". This way, it is the Republicans who denied the path out of a government shutdown, and thus it's their fault.

The only reason why Musk is tearing down the entire apparatus of federal funding is so he can redirect funding toward his own enterprises.

First thing I have always done when I get an ESP32 is to flash my own custom firmware on it. Who actually uses the stock ESP32 firmware, it doesn't do anything.

Did you mis the part about how it is a single >>NATION<< that veto'd the shadow oil fleet ban? So obviously a nation is the problem here, and of course the billionaires who have taken control of that nation.

The G7 has been compromised. EU had best work without the US now. The US is now led by a maniac who likes Putin, and wouldn't blink at betraying all the US longterm allies.

Easy to say, if you are not among the children, elderly, and poor suffering and dying. The billionaires and fascists are just tearing down anything that gets in the way of their path to unregulated profit, and damn the consequences. No I want to build a decent world, not burn it down.
