But when the "something happens was Trump's tariffs, Sanders argued that (emphasis added) "Trump's across-the-board tariffs are not the way to do it. We do not need a blanket and arbitrary sales tax on imported goods which will raise prices on products that the American people desperately need." And again: "Trump's blanket tariffs will just raise prices for American consumers and hurt our relationships with allies, undermining our global position." Not "might" raise prices. "Will" raise prices.
As Oliver Darcy is reporting, Weiss, who counts Barbaro as "a friend and admirer," even floated his name earlier this year as a potential addition to "CBS Mornings." Now she's leveraging that relationship for what amounts to a high-stakes PR intervention.
Between 2010 and 2012, the Obama administration spent more than $35 million trying to solve problems with the Reflecting Pool. The project failed. The pool was matted with green algae within a month of its reopening. It still leaks 16 million gallons of water a year, which the National Park Service must pay to replace.
Others were less worried. "I've posted worse things on Instagram than whatever they take," one person said.
"We all just call it The Train," he said. "It's just the way to get into the city. Or the way to drink on the way to Greenport, so you don't get a D.U.I." That last word he pronounced dewy.
Stanford has always been a haven for aspiring techies, but recent events have taken the school into uncharted territory. A.I. is everything. We talk about it at the dining halls and in history classes, on dates and while smoking with friends, at the gym and in communal dorm bathrooms. Nearly all of higher education has been overtaken by this technology, and Stanford is a case study in how far it can go. For the past four years, my classmates and I have been the subjects of a high-stakes experiment.
The potential savings estimated by the Trump administration would be substantial as Americans spent $467 billion on prescription drugs in 2024, according to the most recent government data available. The analysis is premised on the idea that foreign countries would also pay more for their prescription drugs, which would diversify drugmakers' sources of revenue and preserve their ability to innovate with new treatments.

John, 62, Md., white, Republican, packaging specialist He did initiate the ending of the penny, silly as that is. And he initiated getting us out of the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. Two positive things, I guess, if you really look at it on the whole. I mean, that was accounting for a lot of our budget money.

27. Even after stealth-editing their headline over the weekend, in a feable attempt to reduce the appearance of partisan animus, Defendants have doubled down on their knowingly false claims in an X post, made this very morning in the pre-dawn hours that reads: Kash Patel's colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than vo dozen people she spoke with described his management failures nd conduct that could harm national security.
The community packaged and sent 18 boxes to the sailor to share with his shipmates. She sent another four boxes on April 15. "I put out the announcement that they were in need of love and nourishment," she said. "Within two days, I had 18 boxes of stuff." Sending the boxes wasn't cheap - at least $540 for shipping alone, she said. Six of the packages reached Tokyo on April 14, according to Postal Service tracking. They have yet to reach their destination.
The California attorney general files nearly all of his lawsuits in the Northern District of California, where he is currently guaranteed to get a judge nominated by a Democratic president. The Texas Attorney General files his lawsuits in single-judge divisions in cities like Amarillo where he is guaranteed to get that precise judge.

The two failed to reach an agreement, and now, the dispute will be settled in court. "Everyone, including Anthropic, agrees that the Department of [Defense] is free to stop using Claude and look for a more permissive AI vendor," Lin said during the hearing Tuesday. "I don't see that as being what this case is about. I see the question in this case as being a very different one, which is whether the government violated the law."
Recommendation: Build secure non-custodial family residential facilities to process families encountered at the border. These facilities will be campus like settings where parents and children are treated in a humane and dignified manner during an expedited immigration process. At these facilities, families will have freedom of movement and access to educational and recreational spaces as they undergo a thorough asylum screening by trained professionals in less than 3 weeks.
help of interpreters). "The inspector would verify the passenger manifest by rereading the information provided," Moreno says. "If everything was OK, he would just make a little check mark by your name, but if your answers were bad, wrong or suspicious, or if secret information had arrived about you previous to your arrival, your name was marked with an X' and you were told you would be detained." "Detention meant you could be held overnight, and you would sleep in dormitory rooms and you would be fed three meals a day in the immigrants' dining room," Moreno says. "You would be forced to stay at Ellis Island until something was resolved, such as being wired money or being able to provide an address." He says serious detention cases, which were rare, could be designated for almost any reason but usually had something to do with questions of morality (if, for example, a woman was pregnant and unmarried) or criminal accusations. "They were looking for suspected anarchists, persons who were politically dangerous and contract laborers—immigrants who were being brought in to break strikes."
The doctors also had to know a few words of instruction in many languages. "Most of the immigrants were illiterate even in their own languages," Moreno notes. "And by 1907, the doctors had already developed a secret code system using a piece of chalk. They would mark the passenger's clothes with a letter of the alphabet: 'H' indicated heart trouble suspected; 'L' suspected lameness; 'X' suspected feeble-mindedness, and so on. Those marked, Moreno says, were removed from the line and "taken across the room where you were locked in a pen, a cage, called the doctor's pen" until the doctors were free to continue further examinations or questioning.

Particularly chilling in light of recent events. We're barreling towards a global war between the Abrahamic religions—a jihad, if you will. And nobody is happier about it than the nutbag Christian freaks running the US gov't, who actually, literally believe it heralds the 2nd coming of Christ.

The Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found last year that Medicare improperly paid suppliers nearly $23 million for durable medical equipment from 2018 through 2024. But it found that most of that was before January 2020, when changes to the system were implemented.

Some workers have argued that, while unpalatable, Cook's friendly relationship with the White House and silence on ICE or CBP is simply the job of the chief executive. The unpleasant reality of his fiduciary duty "means he needs to pander to criminals who want to destroy our democracy in order to ward off tariffs that would tank iPhone sales," suggested one employee. "From my perspective, he's choosing to take the hit to his reputation for the benefit of his employees, and for the customers that depend on our

Judicial interpretations of which positions qualify as officers under the Appointments Clause may shed light on which Executive Branch positions are filled by civil officers that are subject to impeachment. See Akhil Reed Amar, On Impeaching Presidents, 28 HOFSTRA L. REV. 291, 303 (1999); Michael J. Broyde & Robert A. Schapiro, Impeachment and Accountability: The Case of the First Lady, 15 CoNST. COMMENT. 479(1998). The Supreme Court, in interpreting those provisions, has distinguished between officers, who exercise "significant authority" of the United States, Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 126(1976)C, and employees, or non-officers who are "lesser functionaries subordinate to the officers of the United States." Id. at 126 n. 162. The Court has further recognized the Constitution's distinction between principal officers, who must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and inferior officers, whose appointment may be placed in the President, department heads, or the courts of law. Edmond v. United States, 520 U.S. 651, 663 (1997) [. Assuming this line of cases serves as a guide in deciding who is a civil officer subject to impeachment, it appears that "employees," as non-officers, are not subject to impeachment, while principal officers, such as the head of a cabinet-level Executive department, are. In between these two categories, historical practice does not indicate whether an inferior officer is subject to impeachment, as the House has never impeached such an individual.
The bill reduces funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement and removal operations by $115 million, while keeping the overall budget for the agency flat. Additionally, it reduces the number of ICE detention beds by 5,500, cuts Border Patrol funding by $1.8 billion, and increases oversight through the Office of the Inspector General as well as the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which President Trump sought to eliminate last year.
Several protest organizers called for the resignation of a pastor at the church, David Easterwood, believing he is also the acting director of ICE's field office in St. Paul. An ICE official with that name is listed as a defendant in a lawsuit challenging the agency's aggressive enforcement tactics. Videos of the protest showed dozens of demonstrators chanting "ICE out," and "David Easterwood, out now," as they marched through the building.
“Don’t make me tap the sign” meme with Nate Silver’s 1/3/22 tweet saying “It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".
The commissioner also made it clear that he and the league support the LGBTQ+ community, stating that he is happy to host Pride night, but that there is currently no plan to allow players to wear Pride jerseys during warm-ups again (well, any themed jersey). "It wasn't about Pride jerseys or Pride night; it was about the fact of bringing things into the game that might not be embraced by the players wearing the jerseys," the commissioner said. "It could be heritage nights — we don't allow it — it could be political causes. It could be in times of conflict between countries, national origin. It was becoming a distraction, not just for the Pride jerseys, but for a variety of other things."

Connecting these dots, a plausible scenario for U.S. application of military force against Canada to seize our oil resources goes something like this. An independence referendum in Alberta - during which separatists receive a huge infusion of grey MAGA money - sees a majority vote to remain part of Canada, but with 30 per cent or more voting for separation. Mr. Trump declares the result is "fake" and that actual support for separation was "well over" 50 per cent. Alberta separatists then appeal to the U.S. for help, claiming various kinds of oppression. The U.S. moves troops to the northern Montana border and tells the rest of Canada that Alberta must be allowed to join America as the "51st state."
