"Millions of ordinary people across the world have mobilised to do just that. From SΓ£o Paulo to London, Kuala Lumpur to Tangier, the peoples of the world have called on their governments to take urgent action to end the Gaza genocide."

"Today, those crimes continue β€” enabled by an international infrastructure of courts and ports, foundries and factories, parliaments and tech platforms, insurers and investors. To end the Nakba, we must first cut these circuits of complicity."

Our tent is gone, and the cold is very harsh. We are now without shelter. My parents are sick, and we urgently need a tent. $265 is still needed to buy a tent to shelter us.

β€œAs we achieve a historic transformation in Venezuela, we’re also looking forward to the great change that will soon be coming to Cuba,” he told Saturday’s summit.

β€œCuba’s at the end of the line. They’re very much at the end of the line. They have no money, they have no oil. They have a bad philosophy. They have a bad regime that’s been bad for a long time.”

He added that he thinks changing Cuba’s government will be β€œeasy” and that a deal could be struck for the transition of power.

β€œCuba’s in its last moments of life as it was. It’ll have a great new life, but it’s in its last moments of life the way it is,” Trump said.

This is a man drunk on an insane amount of power no person should ever hold. I'm sure he places himself on the same pedestal as God herself.

The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. 

Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.

Attacking access to water is definitionally genocidal.

US State Dept. on Friday approved a $151.8 million "emergency" weapons sale to Israel for 12,000 BLU-110A/B 1,000-pound class general-purpose bomb bodies

The BLU/110AB is an aircraft bomb body w/a high-explosive filling designed for fragmentation and blast effects.

The image shows two figures, a and b. Figure a shows a map of Europe with thermal positions indicated by color-coded hexagons, ranging from -1.0 to 1.0. Arrows point to "Reduced negative impacts" and "Increased negative impacts." Figure b shows a scatter plot of effect size vs thermal position with a fish illustration on top. "Biomass change estimates" indicated by circle size.

Each time, Congress adjusts a stitch, adds a limb, looks away when it lurches off the table and into public life.

Bad presidents are temporary. Congress is the through-line β€” and it keeps feeding a fire that will not spare it.

Who can possibly forget what continues to be an on-going genocide of the Palestinian people of Gaza?

Will be forever beyond my understanding as to why this horror has been allowed to continue to this day and to think their future has been predetermined for them & by a foreign power .

It doesn’t matter the president. Absent congressional authority, the court blocks the action. Everything else proceeds because lawmakers decline to use the powers they possess. The creature changes faces β€” powdered wig, Texas drawl, Mar-a-Lago sheen β€” but the pattern does not. (cont.)

The common thread is not judicial activism or restraint. It is legislative drafting. If Congress draws a line, courts enforce it. If Congress writes vaguely or broadly, presidents test it β€” and now courts often narrow it. Either way, the presidency rests on permissions Congress writes. (cont.)

But the modern Supreme Court wants Congress to speak β€” and to speak plainly. For decades, under a doctrine known as Chevron deference, courts deferred to agencies β€” the Environmental Protection Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, the Department of Education, and their counterparts across the administrative state β€” when statutes were ambiguous. In 2024, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overruled Chevron, holding that courts β€” not agencies β€” must exercise independent judgment when interpreting ambiguous federal law. That era is over. In Biden and Learning Resources, ambiguity was fatal. Combined with the β€œmajor questions” doctrine β€” which requires unmistakable clarity before agencies may wield vast economic or political power β€” ambiguity no longer enlarges executive authority. It triggers judicial resistance.

But here’s what Congress does instead: It leaves decades-old war authorizations on the books, then feigns shock when presidents launch strikes without a new vote. It appropriates billions to ICE and Customs and Border Protection, funds tactical units and expanded enforcement authorities, then expresses alarm when federal agents deploy into cities over local objections. It renews national emergency declarations year after year and preserves statutes that allow tariffs under β€œnational security” rationales, and sanctions without fresh congressional approval, then complains about executive overreach. It funds the executive branch at higher levels, leaves the executive’s authority to transfer funds intact, and, when funds are redirected or aggressively interpreted, holds hearings that regulate it about as effectively as a tweet.

Congress possesses the power of the purse β€” the bluntest instrument in the Constitution β€” yet it almost never uses targeted appropriations cuts or funding conditions to reclaim a specific executive power. Government shutdowns become theater, and real structural reform remains a nonstarter.

Partisanship didn’t just dull Congress’ oversight of the president, it rewired it. Lawmakers defend the presidential constraints in Article I only when it injures the other party’s president. When their own occupies the Oval Office, they cede power to the president to cover their own asses. Political scientists call it β€œcongressional drift,” when lawmakers prefer broad delegations that spare them hard votes. Let the president decide; if he fails, blame him, and if he succeeds, claim alignment. They keep nominal authority and outsource accountability, and voters, at least so far, have rewarded the arrangement.
