Guess that explains the videos of doordash drivers stealing deliveries and stuff ...

Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China by declaring illegal migration and fentanyl constituted a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act. [Under] the NEA, Congress has the authority to move quickly to terminate that emergency declaration. [...] The section reads, "Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025."

Which means that the only people (afaik) who could have ended the 'national emergency' that he's using for a lot of his declarations, signed that power away for this next year. Meaning he's going to spend this next year dismantling the rule of law and ensconce himself as emperor.

Schweitzer said the Montana Farmers Union supports tariffs that are done strategically and targeted, but he adds that isn't the case with recent implementations.

Like so many Republicans, be didn't have a problem with what's being done, just with the way it's implemented.

However, a bipartisan bill could help manage more tariffs from being added. The Trade Review Act of 2025 would require the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of imposing or increasing a duty on imported goods, including an explanation and assessment of its impact on U.S. businesses and consumers.

A) That's not going to do anything; and B) the Republicans already signed a bill last month, saying that the entire rest of the year is one day long explicitly so they wouldn't have to do anything about the tariffs.

Shame that AI and data centers are offsetting all that good.

Is the non-tarrif cheating in the room with us? Is it proven by the same people who proved voter fraud?

That was really interesting -thank you for sharing that video!

The point is that he's got too much exposure in Xitter, plus everyone's tanking Tesla, so he's moving stuff around to try to hang on to everything he can.

He's fine with the whole deportation thing, he thinks they just made a mistake. I'm not sure he'll ever be reflective enough to realize This Is The Plan.

Given what happened during the pandemic, I don't have much hope for this, either.

A whole bunch of Americans oppose it as well!

Does anyone know if noise cancelling works against or diminishes this sound?

CBP intercepted egg products on 3,254 occasions this January and February, compared to 1,508 occasions in the first two months of 2024.

TIL that people were "smuggling" eggs across the border last year as well. I wonder what the earlier historical numbers have been - there had to be some historical number of border residents doing it in their periodic cross-border visits, and unknowing vacationers who bought a dozen or two to cook while they're camping and just brought the remainder home.
