Trump’s single most aggressive attack on immigrants is now before the Supreme CourtIn mid-March, President Donald Trump invoked an almost-never-used federal law, claiming that it gives him the power to deport many immigrants at will with minimal or no legal process to determine if these deportations are lawful. The text of that statute, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, does not give presidents the power Trump claims. For the moment, at least, a lower court order blocks Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation; that order is still in effect, although there is ongoing...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

Import taxes have come so thick and fast since he took office that it can be hard to keep track. Trump has already raised duties on Chinese imports, as well as steel, aluminium and some goods from Canada and Mexico. Higher levies on cars are due to go into effect this week. We're now waiting for Trump to unveil the details of his plan for a wider set of tariffs,...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

The case, Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, deals with a 2018 executive order from the South Carolina governor Henry McMaster that blocked clinics that provide...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

How to Combat MisinformationMisinformation is nothing new. It has, however, become ubiquitous and, in some cases, more difficult and time-consuming than ever to debunk. When we first started publishing in 2003 — which predated Facebook (2004), YouTube (2005) and Twitter (2006) — viral misinformation took the form of chain emails. Although they were a problem at the time, chain emails were to misinformation what the Pony Express is to ChatGPT. As the popularity of social media platforms has grown, so...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

In Defense of AlliesIf our allies need to do more, they are also a benefit to our national security. The countries that have been most discomfited by Trump 2.0 so far are probably Canada, Denmark, and Ukraine. This is not exactly the axis of evil, or the axis of anything except countries that are either dependent on the United States or otherwise easily pushed around. The tone of the first couple of months of the Trump administration has been overwhelmingly one of disregard at best, or...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ is also a test on ChinaTrump’s ‘Liberation Day’ is also a test on ChinaIn his first two months in office, President Donald Trump has already raised tariffs on China twice. The Chinese government has barely flinched. Wednesday’s much-hyped tariff announcement will be the ultimate test for Trump’s engagement with the world’s second-largest economy — and whether the president can lure the United States’ top economic rival to the bargaining table. Ever since Trump announced a new 10 percent across-the-board tariff on China in February, the White House has...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

5 takeaways from Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Florida special electionsDemocrats scored a critical win Tuesday in their first major test at the ballot box since President Trump took office in January. The elections came amid growing anger over the Trump’s administration’s immigration and economic policies, its handling of free speech, and the federal cuts made under Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The night served in part as a referendum on Musk, who has played an outsized role in the administration and poured millions of...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos

Lawn Gone LibertyIt's finally spring. Better mow your lawn. If you don't, your town government may fine you thousands of dollars a day. Worse, if you can't pay the fine, they may confiscate your home. Six years ago, in Dunedin, Florida, Jim Ficken let his grass grow. His mom had died, and he'd left town to take care of her estate. He asked a friend to cut his grass, but that friend died, too!0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos
