The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a major blow to President Donald Trump’s trade agenda Friday, ruling the tariffs he issued under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act are illegal.

In a 6-3 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court said Congress alone holds the power to tax in almost all circumstances. The Trump administration’s argument that trade deficits and illegal drug imports granted it emergency power to levy tariffs was not justified, the court said. Tariffs are taxes on imported goods.

The Trump administration had argued that a provision in the law, known as IEEPA, that said the executive branch could “regulate” imports empowered the president to levy tariffs.

“Based on two words separated by 16 others (in the law)—‘regulate’ and ‘importation’—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time,” Roberts wrote. “Those words cannot bear such weight.”

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Roberts’ opinion.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh filed dissenting opinions. Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito joined Kavanaugh’s.

Kavanaugh’s dissent accepted the administration’s reading of the law and said it was not the justices’ role to decide a policy matter that has “generated vigorous” debate.

“The sole legal question here is whether, under IEEPA, tariffs are a means to ‘regulate . . . importation,’” he wrote. “Statutory text, history, and precedent demonstrate that the answer is clearly yes: Like quotas and embargoes, tariffs are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation.”

Donald Trump overstepped his authority by imposing most of his steep tariffs on global imports, the US supreme court ruled on Friday, toppling a key pillar of the president’s aggressive economic agenda.

Hi, c/selfhosted! This is my first post on Fediverse and I am glad to be making it here.

I recently got fed up with having to use Tailscale to access my server at home and decided to expose it publicly. A friend recommended segregating the server into a dedicated VLAN. My router's stock firmware does not allow that, so I flashed OpenWrt on it (I am amazed how simple and easy the process was).

Getting the router to actually assign an IP address to the server was quite a headache (with no prior experience using OpenWrt), but I managed to do it at the end with a help from a tutorial video on YouTube.

Now, everything is working perfectly fine and as I'd expect, except that all requests' IP addresses are set to the router's IP address (192.168.3.1), so I am unable to use proper rate limiting and especially fail2ban.

I was hoping someone here would have an experience with this situation and help me.

I’m curious, as I never got that feeling, quite the opposite, actually. I can’t imagine living anywhere else at the moment, or in the foreseeable future. I love the house and the people who work here. I love the location. There are only my parents and me in a big place, so there’s a lot of privacy and room to breathe. Plus, my parents, for all their faults, are really cool people to hang out with.

Amid increasing scrutiny on the use of Canada’s temporary foreign worker program, the total dollar amount of fines imposed on employers who are found to violate the terms of the program has risen dramatically. 

However, some observers think changes to monitoring and enforcement of the program are still required.

I know that’s a problem a lot of us share. I need some guidance from someone who has it figured out.

Someone here has gotta be a self-study in gastroenterology. Well I hope so anyway.

I have a Hugo blog I'm setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I'm over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there's federation visibility as well.

So short questions

1. This a good idea?

2. Are there better options?

3. is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?

4. Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

Unbelievably damning results. I don't see how the CPC can continue to function as a party.

This should be excellent for selfhosters that have all their services in one VM. I haven't tried this myself, but I think this means you can:

• you can create memorable links instead of memorizing port numbers: jellyfin.foo-bar.ts.net
• share one service from a machine instead of all of them in a more intuitive way

If you’re new to Tailscale Services, it lets you publish internal resources like databases, APIs, and web servers as named services in your tailnet, using stable MagicDNS names. Rather than connecting to individual machines, teams connect to logical services that automatically route traffic to healthy, available backends across your infrastructure. This decoupling makes migrations, scaling, and high availability far easier, without reconfiguring clients, rewriting access policies, or standing up load balancers. Our documentation has details on use cases, requirements, and implementation.

Nestlé is offloading the remainder of its ice cream assets as the world’s largest food company takes a larger review of its businesses in an aggressive push to turn around sales.

The CPG’s ice cream business outside the U.S. will be sold to Froneri “in a phased way,” Nestlé CEO Philipp Navratil said during an earnings call Thursday. Froneri, a joint venture created by the Swiss company and PAI Partners, acquired Nestlé’s U.S. ice cream business for $4 billion in 2019. Navratil said its remaining ice cream holdings are “strong but small,” adding that the segment is “a distraction for us” as the company chases larger growth opportunities.

President Donald Trump admonished justices who struck down sweeping tariffs on Friday, accusing the six members of the Supreme Court of being “afraid of doing the right thing.”

The president said at a press conference hours after the court’s ruling that he’s “ashamed” for the justices who voted against his tariffs, singling out the liberal justices who joined three conservatives in blocking the tariffs as a “disgrace to our nation.”

“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” he said.
