Didn't the funding bill a couple of weeks ago give Trump more tariff power? Why didn't this guy speak up sooner?

According to this non-paywalled coverage, there are times when the filibuster doesn't apply to repealing laws:

The 1996 CRA gives Congress a 60-day window to repeal federal regulations with a simple majority vote in each chamber and the president’s signature. The clock resets in a new session of Congress for rules finalized toward the end of the previous congressional session.

Republican lawmakers are also eyeing CRA measures to repeal the CFPB’s larger participant rule for digital payment companies and its ban on the use of medical debt in consumer credit reports.

He backed down and had talks with US officials. Now that Trump has shown that the talks didn't accomplish anything Ford might be more inclined to hold his ground next time.

An x1 slot is an x1 slot, the PCIe version will downgrade but there will still only be one lane because that's all the slot physically has connections for. It will effectively be a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot.

Pretty sure if you put a PCIe 3.0 card in a 4.0 slot the slot will drop to 3.0, and 1 PCIe 3.0 lane probably isn't going to work great with a card meant for 4 of them.

From the article:

In bankruptcy and receivership cases, cash-strapped companies can opt not to pay severance, forcing laid-off workers to make claims as unsecured creditors — which will likely result in pennies on the dollar.

Oh they'll do something: They'll try harder not to get caught.

But the court’s six conservative justices all appeared much more skeptical of the district. They attacked it on a variety of grounds, including questioning whether the initial case striking down the map was correctly decided and whether Louisiana was obligated to draw a new map if they believed the courts were wrong.

“What if the Robinson decision were plainly wrong?” justice Samuel Alito asked, referring to the original decision ordering Louisiana to add a second majority-Black district. “Would you still have a good reason to follow it?” Alito later all but said he believed the Robinson decision was wrong.

J Benjamin Aguiñaga, Louisiana’s solicitor general and former Alito clerk, said repeatedly that even though Louisiana believed the court’s original decision was wrong, it still had an obligation to follow court rulings.

Even Republicans on the Supreme Court are getting on board with ignoring rulings you think are wrong. Do these dumbasses understand that they're going to put themselves out of a job?

No, because they can afford the legal fees. It will be worst for smaller sites. From the article:

With Section 230, if a website (or a user!) wants to defend its right to keep content up (or take it down), winning such a case typically costs around $100,000. Without those protections, even if you’d ultimately win on First Amendment grounds, you’re looking at about $2 million in legal fees. For Meta or Google, that’s a rounding error. For a small news site or blog, it’s potentially fatal. And this includes users who simply forward an email or retweet something they saw. Section 230 protects them as well, but without it, they’re at the whims of legal threats.

"Only expert criminals could do as much crime as we assume they've done and not leave any evidence!"

Imagine if the Democrats had called for impeachment every time someone in the Fifth Circuit issued a clearly incorrect ruling

Send real eggs, but "forget" about the travel time so they arrive rotten.

He's the founder of the paper, obviously they're going to give him special treatment.

“I just saw some news that Trump took some grants away from Johns Hopkins where my sister works and now my mom is upset,” Watters told guest Ned Ryun, the founder of conservative nonprofit American Majority.

“She’s texting me. It’s going to be a whole family thing, so we’re going to have to deal with that over the weekend,” Watters said.

I can't tell if he's upset about his sister's job or that his mom is going to be bothering the whole family about it.

Their vote made it so that “democrats” have no power in the house, the senate, the office of the presidency, the supreme court, or the dozens of federal agencies that are now being gutted.

Actually, today Senate Republicans needed help from the Democrats to pass a bill to keep the government funded. And 10 Democrats helped them, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

RSS works too. Just add .rss to the end of the old.reddit URL for the sub, e.g. old.reddit.com/subreddit1.rss

The Republicans need at least 7 Democrats to side with them on cloture. Schumer is just going to embarrass himself if he votes for cloture and enough Dems hold out for it to fail.

We really ought to stop exports of anything their military needs, for national security reasons. "National security" is one of Trump's favorite justifications, so I'm sure he'll understand.

Just like Trump's tariffs
