  • Shhhhh! We can't talk about the national debt until a D is in charge.

  • I assume, it's not relevant here, because otherwise the stars would appear red.

    Correct. The stars you can see with your eye are mostly all too close by to have a strong red shift.

  • Yeah. This is about Trump's motion to reconsider at the supreme court. The court already denied his petition, but he gets one more "pretty please change your mind" motion. This is the very end of the line for the $5 million case.

    The supreme court is still considering whether to take up Trump's petition in the $83 million case.

  • Depends on the state, but it's often around 26,000 gross pounds, or some length + combination tractor trailer if not driving for hire.

  • Yeah. It's so bad that they're offering $25k signing bonuses for lawyers.

    Used to be, DOJ didn't have to do that because they had massive numbers of excessively qualified applicants climbing over each other to apply.

  • The C32A, the plane Trump actually went on, pretty much has all of the same stuff as the VC25A. It's just based on Boeing 757, which is a single aisle airliner.

  • The government would make more money by carefully removing the entire section of wall and selling it at Christie's.

  • 32% is very comparable to Nixon right before he resigned, and GWB at his lowest depths. As far as I know those are pretty much the lowest presidential approval ratings ever recorded.

    The fact that Trump has now joined this club is really significant in terms of making things happen politically in America.

  • Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn't want you to see how inaccurate they were.

    Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.

  • Depends probably on the nature of what "forwarded the costs" means.

    If the business collected the costs from you and then forwarded them to CBP while acting as your agent, then you can demand a refund from them or sue them.

    If you agreed to purchase goods for one price while also agreeing to pay a separate "tariff reimbursement fee" in exchange for purchasing the goods, you're probably shit out of luck.

    Various shades in between might be arguable or litigatable one way or another.

  • If you already received your item(s) and you don't immediately need to do any more business with them, it sounds like they don't have a lot of leverage to get you to pay.

    Sounds like that might have been a screw up on their part.

  • No. But they do occasionally advertise their TV and movie rental services as videos in the feeds.

  • If you, as a consumer, directly paid one of the illegal tariffs, you can get a refund via the shipper who acted as an agent for you.

    For example, here's the form if you shipped something over the border using UPS and paid an illegal tariff to get it released from customs.

  • Year 1804. Close.

  • ICE is doing this now. They get information from TSA on who is going to be at what airports, and at which dates and times. That lets ICE make their arrest quotas with relatively low effort on their end.

    If you have any kind of not completely regular immigration status, I would urge you to avoid domestic air travel in the United States right now.

    People have been arrested at airports for overstayed visas, when they filed an adjustment of status on time, and the application has just been sitting at USCIS for several years.

  • I agree that the facts in this article are not excessively interesting. It's just garden variety racism.

    The real audience for this prelim injunction is not the public, however. It's the 9 justices of the supreme court. In particular, there are 2-3 justices who appear to get all their facts from Fox News. And the evidence introduced for this prelim injunction is the ACLU's primary opportunity to challenge the Fox News "facts" with "alternative" facts, when this case goes back up to the supreme court.

  • The case is Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem. Previously in this same case, the Supreme Court seemed to indicate that it was legal for ICE to stop and question people based on their skin color. (They thereby created a new category of stop called the Kavanaugh Stop).

    Quoting Justice Kavanaugh:

    Here, those circumstances include: that there is an extremely high number and percentage of illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles area; that those individuals tend to gather in certain locations to seek daily work; that those individuals often work in certain kinds of jobs, such as day labor, landscaping, agriculture, and construction, that do not require paperwork and are therefore especially attractive to illegal immigrants; and that many of those illegally in the Los Angeles area come from Mexico or Central America and do not speak much English. To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion; under this Court's case law regarding immigration stops, however, it can be a "relevant factor" when considered along with other salient factors. ... Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop lead to further immigration proceedings.

    As a legal position, this shit is antithetical to the American way of life, and it's also deeply unrealistic. These things are not "brief encounters". This opinion would legalize "papers please" style enforcement for brown people.

    Now, the Kavanaugh Stop is not currently the law of the land, because Kavanaugh was writing in a concurrence only. He didn't have a full five vote majority behind these abhorrent statements.

    So this is the news: Everyone knows that ICE are racist cunts. The ACLU is doing the work to prove it in court. And hopefully it will lead to something that doesn't cement the Kavanaugh Stop as case law.

  • Most of those "permissive" licenses require redistributors to redistribute copies of the license texts in derivative works.

    But I bet these AI models aren't doing that. And it's a damn neat certainty that the vibe coders who use the AI model are not attaching a license disclosure containing every permissive licenses in GitHub. Even if their vibe coded app is arguably a derivative work.

  • Really, as a convicted criminal, Donald Trump should be spending more time practicing the fine art of shutting the fuck up.
