"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Andrew Tate claims in the same post that he owns 100 sports cars and that he cannot afford a £300 fine. Among the many depressing aspects of the manosphere is its valorization of being literally ostentatiously stupid www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Interessant stuk, maar het Tropenhotel was gewoon spuuglelijk. Ik ben een grote fan van modernisme en brutalism maar dát viel niet te redden. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/... www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

Palantir has continued to respond to our reporting on X. Meanwhile, I’ve had seven members of Congress (roughly half Dem and half Republican) reach out to ask me questions about my reporting. Some are also starting to speak out publicly about the Trump administration’s plans to consolidate data.

Lutsk is 1000+ km from the front line, just 100km from Poland. Bombing apartment buildings there is pure terror, there’s no excuse. War crimes every day.
