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.

The polar jet stream becomes unstable during climate change, and whips around more dramatically than it ever used to, sending polar arctic air far south.

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 don't see anything Buddhist about it. Looks Indonesian.

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.

I would have thought Canada had Labor Laws about this kind of firing of people wanting to unionize.
